steps up beside him silently, looking over the lake too, trying to see what Al's looking at.

doesn't notice him at first. He's just admiring it.... and daydreaming about swimming in it. Ahhh! It'd be warm enough to swim soon!

blinks over at him and notices the day dreaming, smiling. He sticks his hand in front of Al's gaze to hopefully startle him out of his

stupor.

blinks and starts, turning to look at him. "Matt! You scared me!" he says, though he doesn't look very scared. He laces their fingers

together distractedly and looks back out at the water. "Well be able to swim soon."

laughs at this, squeezing his hand a little. "Mm, I can't wait. I miss swimming in the lake," he smiles.

nods at this and he can't quite help the pout on his mouth. "I love swimming in the lake. The winter is so mean." He looks over at him.

arches a brow, slightly amused. "There's always swimming in a pool to tide you over eh?"

looks over at him and pouts. "It's not the same though is it?" ;3;

hums, considering that a moment before shrugging. "I guess not eh."

pouts and leans on him. "We'll go swimming together soon okay."

nods a little, wrapping an arm over his shoulders. "Sure thing Al. You're not scared of lake monsters?"

blinks at this and looks out over the water. ".... Lake monsters aren't real Matt. Don't be ridiculous."

hums softly, smiling. "Would've thought you would believe them, what with Tony living in your house and your fear of ghosts.."

pouts at him. "I d-don't believe in everything. Fairies aren't real either after all."

grins a little at the stutter, humming. "Perhaps... England does seem to see them an awful lot though."

rolls his eyes. "Don't tell me you believe in his delusions Mattie."

shakes his head. "No, but he sees them worryingly often."

nods and laughs. "I suppose he does doesn't he? It's a little bad isn't it."

smiles. "Good old crazy England," he hums fondly.

puts his arms around his waist and cuddles against his back, resting his chin on his shoulder. "Well he's family I guess."

leans back against him slightly, just enough to balance them both. "Yes, so be nice to him eh."

siiiiiighs against his neck before nuzzling him a little. "Fine, fine, I'll be nice to the old man as long as he doesn't do anything dumb."

hums softly. "Guess that's about as good of a promise as I'll get out of you." He smiles, shivering lightly at the nuzzling.

smiles at this and nods. "It's the best I got. The old man is bossy and stuff.' He keeps nuzzling though

smiles. "You're a little strong-headed too eh?"

about this and kisses lightly at his neck. "Am I?" He smiles a little. "Well you still like me so.... can't be too bad."

laughs a little, tilting his head slightly for him. "Guess that's true eh? What a terrible thing to be in love with."

laughs and bites his neck in a scolding yet gentle way. "Hey! Come on now! I'm great!
