[ It's still surreal, he thinks, as he looks down at and fiddles with the plain gold band wrapped around his finger. Funny that something so small can come with such a warm, comforting weight to it. Anytime he feels himself start to doubt any of this is real he can almost feel Scott's hand on his and hear their vows playing back on loop for the ears of their friends and family only.

He doesn't want to imagine the cost of booking an entire resort to keep the press out, which is probably why he always made it a point to look in the opposite direction whenever it came time for Scott to sign invoices. While he is much more frugal, he would've been more than happy to tie the knot without going into debt, he also knew better than to argue when it came to this. Weddings are supposed to last a lifetime, at least according to his knowledgeable friend group. None of which, of course, are or have ever been married.

But as much fun as he had on that memorable day and the honeymoon that followed, he has to admit that coming home is welcoming. Coming back to a wave of press flashing cameras in their faces and looking for exclusives? Not so much but, as he said before, Scott is more than worth it. And, as Scott played the biggest role in planning their wedding, Kip has taken it upon himself to plan their date tonight. Their first date after doesn't have to be over the top, at least he doesn't think so, which is exactly why he's taken the reins on this one.

Unfortunately, his opinion doesn't seem to be shared by his husband. Not that he's aware of that yet. He's put a fair amount of effort into finding a place that is low-key and under the radar. A place where salads that cost more than the entree are optional rather than the norm. He even had a notepad and paper sitting beside his laptop most the day with the gameplan written up on it.

After Scott mentioned it was a special night, that should have been his first clue that something was amiss but he's riding the waves of marital bliss, smiling to himself as he reaches over and takes his hand in the car after the door shuts behind them. ]


You know, we can still just order takeout and stay in. It's not too late.

[Fighting alongside a new (to him) hero easily led to Hawks, nรฉ Keigo, inviting the other man out for a drink to celebrate a successful venture where no civilians were hurt and relatively little property damage was incurred. After all, how often does that happen? Besides, it's been a long day and he could use a chance to relax.]
