[For Lara] An Anniversary Away, backdated to Valentine's Day

[st_alksthroughwalls]

When the portal opened just before the anniversary of their first kiss, Kitty didn't need to convince Lara that they should celebrate by going off-world. She didn't even know where they would be going and neither did Lara, but it didn't matter. They'd grinned, kissed, tussled and taken some quality time before finding out where they'd be spending their "vacation."

The other-world turning out to be an amusement park both delighted and disappointed. Delighted because how perfect for Valentine's Day, but disappointed because, well, they both tended to be adrenaline junkies, didn't they? Still, there was nothing to say they wouldn't find a little adventure, and they would certainly have fun and a chance to really talk to each other. Not that they didn't, but being together tended to override talking about...everything that happened between when they met and when Lara came back.

Kitty wasn't really thinking about that when they left the Inn and emerged blinking in the bright light and joyful sounds of the park. She threaded her fingers with Lara's, looked along her shoulder at her, and said, "Okay, what's first?"

Lara put on her 'Lady Croft' face, very above it all, but couldn't hold it for more than a few seconds before dissolving into giggles. "Later! We can do that later." And almost certainly would.

For now, though, looking for the Tunnel of Love. There had to be one, didn't there? What kind of fair didn't have one?

I'm the absolute worst. I am so sorry. :/

"Mm-hm, among other things." Kitty grinned, leaned over and kissed Lara's giggles in the sloppy, silly, ridiculous kind of kiss that only people who'd found and lost and found love again thought remotely appealing.

It didn't take them long to find the Tunnel of Love, and it took even less time for Kitty to burst into laughter over "Tunnel of Love" because they were both twelve.
