Nagoya [a month later]

[momslilassassin]

Ben was still smiling as they walked away from the Portalocity terminal, his hand in Ender's. "That was a nice visit," he said. "Dad's really, really excited about becoming a grandfather, huh? I think the Ewok-themed nursery might be a bit much, though."

"See on the movie, not in real life, right?" Ben said, smiling.

[endsthegame]

"In the movie, yes," Ender said. "With any luck it'll be a few months before we have to think about that decision."

[momslilassassin]

"If we're moving with three or four," Ben agreed, smiling softly.

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled up at him. "Yes."

[momslilassassin]

Ben leaned in and kissed him. "I love you."

[endsthegame]

"It took you ten minutes to tell me that again," Ender teased, "Should I be worried?"

He kissed Ben again.

[momslilassassin]

"Yes," Ben said. "I'm getting lax and complacent."

[endsthegame]

"At least once every five minutes," Ender said, "Or the whole thing falls apart."

[momslilassassin]

"I love you," Ben repeated, kissing him again. "There. All fixed."

[endsthegame]

"Better now," Ender agreed. "Love you, too."

He nipped at Ben's bottom lip, then turned his attention back to the screen.

"It does look beautiful out there."

[momslilassassin]

"Mmm," Ben said. "You like humidity?"

[endsthegame]

Ender let out a little snort. "Not specifically," he said. "Anyway, we'd probably be looking at Moskva or Rov next, when we leave here."

[momslilassassin]

"Why those?" Ben asked, settling in against him.

[endsthegame]

"Well, last time it was Nagoya, Rov, or Moskva. They were closest and most suitable," Ender murmured. "Now we've done Nagoya..."

[momslilassassin]

"Rov or Moskva," Ben replied, nodding. "Moskva sounds cold."

[endsthegame]

"It's also not altogether friendly to people like us," Ender said quietly, "Which might not be a great idea if we have a baby around."

[momslilassassin]

Ben chewed on his lower lip. "Rov, then?"

[endsthegame]

"If it's four, not three, then definitely," Ender said.

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed his forehead in reply. "Not for a while, though."

[endsthegame]

"No," Ender said. He slid his arm around Ben and settled a little more closely. "It feels like a while since we've last seen something that wasn't a car movie."

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed. "Well, it's been a kind of comfort movie few months?"

[endsthegame]

"Maybe we need a larger library of comfort movies," Ender said wryly.

[momslilassassin]

"There's a lot of car movies?" Ben tried.

[endsthegame]

Ender shot him a dry look. "I already know more about cars than I ever needed to."

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him because Ender was adorable. "Part of your mechanical engineering studies."
