[March 31] [Pacific Rim] Equal Mix
Title:Equal Mix
Day/Theme: 31. my favorite kind's not cheesecake, it's shortcake with a strawberry on top
Series: Pacific Rim
Character/Pairing: Hermann Gottlieb/Newt Geiszler
Rating: Fluff warning
Herman might love predictable, but Newt loved a surprise. So Hermann calculated all the places that he was certain Newt would enjoy and would therefore expect. Then, he worked out all the places that would be just as fun, but more of a surprise. He narrowed it down to three and they were all within driving distance of each other, so they could decide when they got there.
He told Newt the basics, when they were leaving, how long they'd be gone, that he would need a swimsuit and warm clothes. Also some snacks. No, not camping. Maybe a pool. Newt had been delighted and intrigued and asking questions and packing days early out of excitement. Hermann hoped he would like the trip too.
"Will I need a snorkel??" Newt bellowed from the back room. Hermann pretended to think about it.
"Probably not," he said. "But you never know." That was completely out of character and they both knew it. Newt peeked out to pretend to glare. Hermann didn't even try not to smirk.
The top of Mt. Joy in New Mexico had escaped the devastation from Trespasser's attack, and there was an inn up there that had been one of the most glorious stargazing spots anywhere. The observatories were still in use and Hermann's clout could get them in easy. There was also a bed and breakfast with a hot tub and more amazing skyscapes a half day away. Or they could go the other way to Roswell and let Newt run amuck with all the extraterrestrial nonsense that had fallen by the wayside since their visitors had started coming out of the sea. And that wasn't far from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.
Dinosaur fossils might not hold as much appeal for Newt since he had fresher monsters to deal with, but he would love showing off how much he knew about them. All this commotion would still be waiting for them when they got back, but it would be a relief to leave it behind for even a little while. Hermann was willing to break patterns and habits for it. Newt had sworn he was willing to follow for once, and he wasn't going to waste that either.
They had earned whatever sweetness they could find and there was time now to enjoy it. Their tastes weren't always similar enough to enjoy together, but this time felt different. It took awhile for Hermann to realize that the unfamiliar feeling was an equal mix of hope and happiness.
