Airy's arms wrapped around his waist as they floated lazily above the bed. The bow was crushed against him but she didn't really care about that. She just liked feeling him and letting him know that she was happy that he was born.
"Does that mean I should let us down?" She kissed his neck and then his clavicle while wiggling her legs to free them both of the bed's sheets.
"I'm okay with taking things slowly for you if you want."
Her tone was warm and teasing. She was in a good mood and it showed in every subtle movement of her body against his. She also did have a physical present for him but it was hidden in her closet so that he wouldn't be able to find it and it'd take some time to dig out.
The sheets fell away from them. All the way away. She was cuddled up to and curled against him and they were floating. Cassidy felt like he didn't know what to do with his limbs. He tried to just let them relax... and his arms settled around her back.
"Right." Taking things slowly. When she'd already sung him awake and levitated him off the mattress. "Airy, love, you have now got me hoverin' in midair. We're breakin' the laws of physics and we've not even got out of bed. This is already, totally, the most incredible birthday I've ever had."
Airy kissed his chest and gently turned them so that their feet were facing the ground. She pushed them towards the center of the room and then lowered them both to the floor. Airy grinned up at Cassidy, clearly very proud of herself.
"I've been practicing." Just for him. "You can control where you go too. You just need to imagine when you float in water. If you shift your weight. You'll move us." Of course, now they were on the floor so he'd have to remember that for later.
"Get dressed." She rose onto the tips of her toes and kissed his cheek. "First. We're going to a place where you will absolutely lose track of time so present and then place and then club and then we'll see what time it is."
"Done." He gave her a sharp, serious nod: present, place, club sounded like a solid plan. He only needed to get dressed first. His clothes had simply been dropped by the side of the bed last night, so that part would be easy.
Jeans, a graphic t-shirt, and a red flannel. Cassidy had found his wardrobe adjusting as the weather got colder, and the fairies had put more than a couple of flannel pieces in there. Whether they'd done it on purpose because Airy liked plaid so much, he couldn't say.
Airy pulled on the blue cowboy shirt that she'd gotten Cassidy as well as the hat to complete the costume. She looked more than a little smug as she tipped her head down with her finger and spoke in the worlds worst western accent. "I reckon' that we should be off then. Got lots to do before the sun goes down."
A beat.
"And lots to do after that."
Before Airy actually left, she dashed into her closest and pulled out a brown nondescript box. There was a little note on the top that reads 'please hope that Cassidy doesn't find this'. It'd been a perfect hiding spot. "So, there will be more but this is all I could get to give you today."
Cassidy couldn't help pulling a face at the accent. Didn't exactly try to help it, even if he was keeping his mouth shut. Clearly someone hadn't been practicing with Matt.
He didn't exactly make a habit of rifling through Airy's things, so the closet would have been a fine enough hiding spot. When she brought over the gift, he was in the process of pulling on his Doc Martens, and he delayed tying them so he could accept the plain brown box. He sent an anticipatory smile her way as he started to open up the lid.
Airy hadn't practiced her western accent at all but it was the thought that counted. That and she'd been waiting for an excuse to wear Cassidy's cowboy hat because it was a cool looking hat and she thought that'd it'd be a lot of fun to wear.
"I hope you like it."
Inside he'll find a Golden Game Boy Color with a little Pikachu sticker on the bottom left screen. It was one of the limited addition ones and the one that Airy had when she'd been younger. She had never really played it but her brother had threatened to steal it several times so she thought it was a good gift for Cassidy now. With it was a handful of Pokemon games as well as a handful of Mario, Kirby and other old school game boy games.
He lifted the console out of the box and turned it over, flashed another smile her way.
"I never actually had one of these. I had some of those bloody shite handheld games in the 90s, y'know, the ones that were only one game, and all ya could do was jump, punch, and kick bad guys."
He put an arm around her shoulders. In other words: "It's awesome."
Airy released a short giggle as Cassidy wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She nuzzled against him, smiling as he inspected the gameboy. "I thought it'd be good to have at the house. Not full on games, we'll get those but a start. You can also keep it at Neverland if you ever need to take a break there."
She was always thinking ahead.
"But so we don't lose it, we should probably leave it here for today."
“Oh yeah, this’ll be great at NeverLands,” he mused as he set down the console and shuffled through the games, checking out what she’d got him — classic Mario, Zelda — until she suggested leaving the gameboy behind. It made sense. She wouldn’t want him glued to a screen all day, she had plans.
“Yeah, right.” He took one last look at the present and set the box aside on Airy’s nightstand. “Just put it there for safekeepin’...”
Then he set about tying his boot laces. It was the last thing he’d need to do before they left.
"You want to take it with us don't you?" Airy looked like she was about to laugh. "Just so you know, there are more presents. I mean, this was my favorite but there is more." Tomorrow she expected him to spend most of the day with his face focused on the gameboy... at which she'll play her favorite game of trying to distract Cassidy while he played games with inappropriate touching.
"And if you don't like what I have planned then we'll come back and play games." She slipped on a pair of boots and then grabbed Cassidy's hand. Airy didn't bother putting on a bra or messing with her hair. The hat made her hair look like it was messy and curly on purpose. The shirt was tight and everyone would notice that Airy wasn't wearing a bra the moment it got cold but Airy didn't really care. That kind of thing was common in the castle of sex.
"It does involve getting high but with something new. I think you'll like it."
Did he want to take the gameboy? A little bit, but not enough to insist on it. And once she started teasing her other plans, pulling him away and through the castle corridors, he started getting intrigued.
"Somethin' new?" Given that he'd sampled most of the drugs known to humankind and a couple known to the Fae, he couldn't guess what she meant by that.
"Yup! I found it and tested it and I think you're going to like it." She grabbed his hand and tugged softly. "Come on. Oh! We do need to make two stops on the way to where we're going so I might have you close your eyes then." Not that he would be able to guess that she's picking up an order of burgers and fries at the dinner, as well as the drugs that she wanted to introduce him too.
Where they were going was the best part and it'd take Airy nearly a month to set it up. It wouldn't have actually taken that long except that she had a three day emotional interruption.
[ooc: I am going to time skip to the big surprise in the next tag.]
He couldn't imagine where she'd got it from. He couldn't imagine what it was. Even after close to a year in this place, he was still naturally skeptical that anything new still existed.
So he'd believe it when he saw it, but he wasn't seeing it yet.
"So there's a couple of places before the place before the club, then?" he asked, like he was trying to keep this complex plan all straight in his head.
"Yup!" Airy said nothing more. She lead him from her room, her boots scuffing against the chilled stone floor as she lead him out of the castle. Their first stop was towards the top left of the village, a little bit past Neverlands. She had him close his eyes as she dashed inside and returned with a silky navy blue bag. Then they were on their way again.
The next location was the dinner but Airy tried to make it not be so obvious. Again, she had him close his eyes and dashed inside. This time she returned with a large paper bag that smelled of burgers and fries. There was no hiding the smell so she had Cassidy carry that bag the rest of the way.
Where they were headed was the biggest surprise that Airy had in store for him. She'd worked on it since she learned his birthday and then had to move the whole set up to a place in the village were they'd be secluded and not anywhere near the monster that's tromping around in the woods.
"Okay. Close your eyes. This is the last time, promise." She waited until his eyes were closed and then pressed a light tender kiss against his lips. "Good." Airy guided him from there, watching his feet as she broke through the under brush. Cassidy would feel a soft warm breeze touch his face as Airy turns and positions him for the perfect view.
She had him stand there for a few minutes, putting some last minute touches on his surprise, and then she finally told him that he could open his eyes.
They were surrounded by tall trees that looked like palm trees bent inward. It was an area that was several yards across and it was filled with perfectly soft sand. It wasn't the ocean but a small pound that Airy had found in the woods while floating above it was a soccer ball sized sun. It didn't hurt Cassidy but it did make the whole area feel like they were on a tropical island.
"Happy Birthday Cassidy. I wanted to bring you to the beach so... I made one."
He tried to cheat a little after their first stop, after she came out with that silky-looking bag. He glanced around over his shoulder, to try and see where she'd just come from... though he wouldn't be able to see much before she pulled him away. The second stop was so obvious, he only accepted the bag of food and let her lead on.
She was leading him into the Wilds, and he felt a warm breeze on his face. Where was that coming from? They were on the edge of Winter, here...
...only there so happened to be an oasis out here. Cassidy found his eyes drawn to the edge, where the sand stopped and the Wilds started up again. Like the beach had been cut out of the landscape. He squinted and blinked up at the ball of light that hovered over the space, glowing just like a sun.
"Look at that." He took a couple of steps forward. The sand shifted under the soles of his boots, and he turned back to smile at her, to tug her closer so he could direct his smile down at her in kissing range. "Me own private tropical vacation. Thanks very much."
"Does that mean you like it?" Airy smiles and presses a light kiss to his cheek. It's probably silly to make it feel like summer in the middle of winter but Airy laughs in the face of seasons. ... like the scene from the Lion King but without hyenas.
She leans against him and wraps her arms around his waist. "We don't have to stay here all day or anything but I thought it'd be fun to be lazy, feel the water and try these." She wiggled the navy blue silk bag. "I haven't tried them out but they're supposed to be a mixture of weed and possibly Viagra... they described it better." It was a type of euphoria that sounded interesting when the fairy had described it to her.
Airy also planned to do some other stuff while they were alone but she was still letting Cassidy take the lead with what he wanted to do.
He enfolded her in his arms when she leaned close. "You made me a bloody beach. I love it."
But with his flannel and boots on, it was starting to get a little warm. He stepped back to shed the long-sleeved shirt and drop it onto the sand, just before lowering himself into a sitting position and starting to unlace his boots. His eyebrows lifted as he contemplated the mystery drug's effects — weed and Viagra, eh?
"I guess ya couldn't wait 'til summer to have a bit of fun in the sun, could ya?" he teased, looking toward her with a wicked smirk.
"Maybe." Airy felt her cheeks burn with heat as she stepped towards the edge of her little beach and began to kick off her shoes and pants. She kept the hat on as well as Cassidy's shirt. It made it look like she'd just rolled out of bed and onto the sand.
"I didn't think you'd be against it." She was sure that Cassidy knew of the hookah-like fairy store but she didn't think he went there all that often. Since opening his own drug shop, he didn't need too.
She placed the bag on the sand and stretched out on the warm sand. It felt great and Airy didn't really mind the prospect of getting sand everywhere.
Cassidy stripped down to his jeans, and rolled up the cuffs so his ankles were exposed to the summer air. He padded across the sand to the edge of the water, squinting up at the makeshift sun like he was trying to figure out what it was made of. He was still puzzling over it when he sat back down and dusted off his hands.
And then his attention shifted to the silk bag. He plucked it up off the sand, and scooted a little closer to Airy as he tugged it open.
"Are we talkin' pills?" he mused as he started to peer inside. "Smokables...?"
Airy rolled over and then pushed herself up to a seated position. Small dots of sand trickled from her hair as she scooted next to Cassidy's side. "Smoke. Everything we nee should be in there." Including a really nice glass bubbler that Airy had purchased from the fairies. Cassidy had a decent collection at Neverland but she wanted to keep adding to it. This one looked like it had two creatures, fairy or human, tangled up in some sort of sexual act on the end of it. Airy thought it was pretty.
"I have noticed that your favorite thing to do when you smoke is get a blow job. So I was kind of thinking of something along those lines."
These were the things that Airy paid attention too.
Cassidy saw it all in there. He brought out the bubbler first, examining it in the bright summer light. His lips quirked into a smile and he lifted his eyebrows at her when he realized what the figures on the end were up to. Nice.
As she went on, he brought out the container of the drug itself and gave it a curious sniff before setting it aside for now. Before he loaded the pipe, he had to get some water into the bubble chamber. He shifted forward and dipped it into the clear water of the pond.
"Gettin' blown on a beach with this classy new pipe? You thought of everythin'." He scooted back into the sand and started loading the drug into the pipe. Before taking the first hit, he leaned over and planted a kiss on Airy's lips. "Thank you."
Now he'd be able to take a lighter to the pipe and see how it tasted.
Airy smiled as Cassidy inspected the bag and began to prep the bubbler. She would offer to help but he was honestly better at it and in comparison, she'd be fumbling to get it lit properly. Her smile grew at his kiss and her azure eyes glittered with warmth as he settled next to her.
"I like to think I know what you like by now." They've known each other for what felt like a long time though Airy knew that in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't all that long. "Do you need a light?" She hadn't thought to bring a lighter though she supposed there might be one in the navy blue bag.
Whatever they didn't have, Airy could always use magic.
The taste of the pipe was certainly different. There was the subtle flavor of grass with a hint of sweetness that you'd find if you've ever eaten a raw clover. Inside of that was something shimmery, as if light and the fragrance of crisp wind and flowers were able to roll across the tongue. Instead of a thick chemical taste there was a deep earthy root flavor that rounded out the after taste and curbed some of the plants sweetness.
The drug was significantly sweeter and smoother than most of the things Cassidy put into his lungs. The smoke, when he exhaled, came out in dense ribbons that almost seem to shimmer with pale colors in the false sunlight. He took a second, deep drag, and blew that one out with his eyes closed, the expression of a connoisseur's appreciation. Already, he was starting to feel a tingle at the tips of his fingers.
"Tastes like a bloody summer's day itself," he remarked, and tipped the pipe toward her. "You wanna try some?"
Airy sounded genuinely surprised. She hadn't tried it before picking it up and had chosen it by description alone. Her understanding was that it was a very rare drug since the arousing effect came from one of the sex related plants in the woods and it was hard to gather those without being distracted.
"Yeah." She pushed herself up and balanced the bubbler on her palm. It was heavier than Airy thought it'd be. She placed the tip of the glass between her lips and inhaled. Her head felt hazy as she released the smoke and very unlike herself, she didn't take a second hit before passing it back to Cassidy. "That's strong but I like the taste."
She pause for a moment and then rolled to her feet. "I think I'm going to swim for a little bit and then let the sun dry me off."
