Jul. 29th, 2017 03:10 amphotographicallyYou okay, babe? Are you able to have some time out? We can get some takeout and chill at my place, if you're up to it. It's okay if you aren't, I know things are full on.
midnightlogWould it be shitty of me to take a raincheck on our date tonight? Ky's still asleep and I want to spend a bit of time with him while he's going through this shit.

What: R&R
Where: Trent's place, NYC
When: After this
Even though Trent suggested takeout for Ari to come over, knowing how stressed Ari had been with Justin ended up in hospital after a serious collapse, he went to the grocery store and bought everything to make up spaghetti bolognaise, his mom’s recipe. There was that comfort that came with soul food, and Ari needed some TLC. He knew now that Ari took his works seriously, and he was passionate about what he did. He called what he did with Justin ‘intensive case work’ and Trent knew that meant he was right in deep, hands-on as much as it was needed, to work with Justin and his family to give him the best life he could have.
Something like this, however, would take its toll. Justin’s family in no way overworked Ari because Justin himself had timeouts on everything he did. Those timeouts were Ari’s time off, so he and Ari had been able to develop their relationship at a nice easy pace. He adored Ari, who was so cool and confident, that nothing seemed to ruffle his feathers. He took whatever came at him on board and just dealt with it. He didn’t complain about anything.
( When Ari arrived, holding a couple of tubs of Ben & Jerrys, Trent could see how tired he was all over his face... )

colourmefreeWho: Cruz Quinlan and Hunter Alexander
What: Revelations
Where: Las Vegas, NV
When: Saturday afternoon
Hunter and Cruz’s choice to get married didn’t turn out as impromptu as it could have been. Ultimately, Cruz contacted his mates in the band to come because they were like brothers to him, and Hunter wanted his brothers there. Which turned into his parents wanting to be there too, so they flew into Vermont for it. Initially, what was only a brief ceremony and then maybe a meal at a fancy restaurant after, turned into a little more of an event. They hired on a nice function room in the hotel with views over Vegas, and Hunter’s mom found a wedding planner to help throw together something sweet and intimate. Meanwhile, Cruz mostly slept through the whole thing, but Hunter said it gave his family some nice bonding time. He, Darius and their mum went to shop for wedding outfits together, and their dad took Brody and Harry to do some touristy things together. Cruz, still in recovery mode, didn’t have a lot of energy so he stuck to his doctor’s orders bed rest for most of the time and focused on recuperating.
Cruz expected either he or Hunter to get cold feet, but they didn’t. Not as they days ticked away and the date they secured to tie the knot drew near. Now, it was a couple of hours before the evening booking and Hunter came out of the shower, freshly washed, in nothing but a towel. Cruz was sitting on the bed in some track pants and an Aran sweater. The airconditioning made him feel a little cold, even if they were in the middle of the desert. “Babe? Can you come sit for a minute? I want to talk to you about something. Don’t worry, I’m not changing my mind. Something’s been on my mind, and I want to bounce it off you, I guess.” He patted the spot beside him on the bed where he was sipping a cup of freshly brewed tea not long brought up by room service.
( Hunter came to sit beside him, brushing Cruz’s hair back from his face... )
