Welcome to Gaia! ::

Henry smiles he lifted it up higher that Aki then lowered it back down. He knew it would be light just not THAT light, or maybe he was just getting used to carrying the logs around. his father used to call him demi god and so he worked to build his body the same way, not that he was older he didn't believe in such things but had never lost the need to keep himself in fitness and shape. He looks Aki utterly confused. " I-I was calling you silly... Maybe you do need to sit down." He sets his side down in the front of the empty space. The one floor obviously needed walls to create rooms and crannies, but now it was just a big empty box. " It wont be a problem I think I can make moat things authentically. " Henry looked at aki almost wounded, having no idea why he had taken the sudden offensive to Aki's words.

Henry watches Aki. He places his hand gently on Aki's head, then eyeballs the boy. " I believe you." he stand back leaning against the door opening. " You sure? Cause that kinda what it sounded like." Henry felt he jumped in head first once again, creating a relationship that was never meant to be and in other words a failure and on this trip into the metaphoric water his head hit a rock and pulled him down into that dark place that he hid ever so well behind his gothic attire. the deep dark place he hid from everyone and that feeling leaked from his eyes , leaving no remise of tears, but only the look of defeat.

With a sigh henry snaps himself from his state. " Okay okay." he straightens up. " I gotta finish these walls." He looks at Aki and see's the boy's trembling, teary-eyed state. He grabs Aki's hand gingerly and pulls the boy in for a hug though instead of his arms hanging around Aki's waist they kind of held his shoulders protectively. He'd get it down at some point.
He sighs. " its really fine im sorry." he lets the boy go and kisses his cheek. " Let me finish the house before we start acting like an old married couple."
He gets back to work, moving out the cabin and carrying the logs around. It took more time to get higher but henry didn't break or show strain, it wasn't like him to, anyways. When he used the last log he laid in the grass and looked up at the sky. " Building day one. is done, I think ill only need two more. One for the roof and one for the inner walls." His chest rose and fell slowly as he recaught his breath.

Henry adds a few beams which showed where the roof would go. Then he stopped he knew he was just avoiding Aki because he did want to continue to be headstrong. He watches the young man search through bags with curiosity. Then he catches the males pale eye and smiles. " Whatcha got there?"
He grabs the flask and swirls it a little. He looks at Aki as he takes a drink and was relieved it was just water. He relaxes and looks into Aki's eyes as he moves hair from his face. " Thank you." He smiles lightly and felt the urge to kiss Aki once again but withheld himself from doing so. He closes the flask up and wraps an arm gently against Aki's hip.

Henry smiles down at the boy though his face shows surprise when he's kissed first. He loosens his grip letting the boy have a little space, knowing the loving heart but faltered heart feeling that comes after the first real showing of how much one cares." great lets have a little picnic by the pond. "He sighs out happily and pulls the boy softly by the hip to his stuff. " oh! Are the blankets inside? I can get them." he lets go of the boy and heads to the trunk to grab them a blanket to sit on. Henry rubs his neck as he carries the thin blanket under his arm he loosens his neck-belt.

Henry moves to the pond but looks, with his foot, for a dry spot as to not soak the blanket before putting it down. They where very close to the water, so close henry could feel the cool air from in and still see the fish within. henry gestures with his hands to the blanket on the ground. " Ta-da!" he teases with a smile and takes a seat. he rolls up his pants and removes his shoes and socks before sliding his feet in the cool water. He sighs out happily and laughs as the fish swim over, between and under his feet like he remembered when he was little. " Come on sit!" he looks over at Aki with a sparkle in his eye.

Henry smiles and nods. " Spoiled rotten aren't you? " he teases and takes a slice of the bread after he puts it out brushing Aki's hand slightly with a smile. another one of his intentional flirts. " Hmm.. in a second." he bites into the bread happily. " So how many brothers DO you have?" Being an only child it was lonely and having siblings made Henry a little jealous of Aki. He tops of the piece of bread and smiles. " So happy you brought that." he teases and opens the box. The mini cake inside was slightly foreign to him. Only having seen it at his balls. The male takes a cheese cutter cutting it into squares. he grabs a piece and holds it up to the male. " You first." he wasn't as defensive as he was with the water now he just wanted to see the boy have his confection first. It seemed to have more meaning to him.

Henry feels his cheeks get hot for a second then it fades. Wasn't much like him but the fact the boys lips touched his fingers sent chills down his spine. "Lucky" he clears his throat. Taking a piece for himself he smiles and pops the piece in his mouth. It was incredibly sweet but something he could get used to. It was good, he couldn't lie so he let out a happy groan in retrospect. The texture was like a chewable sponge and maybe the least attractive part of the cake but he smiled and swallowed, the taste made up for it. " It really is" He smiles and kisses the boys cheek. " thank you for sharing it with me." it was getting late Henry kept an eye on the sky using it as a solar clock.Yuu neighed and Henry looked over completely forgetting the horse was there. " Don't venture alone here with the horse, wait for me. " He tells the boy. Horse was an easy meal for a beast of the forest and any passengers might as well been causality.
