Connor yawned as he stepped from the shower and sleepily wandered into the bedroom. A brightly coloured envelope was propped on his pillow. What was James up to now? He seemed determined not to let Connor talk about his plan to trap Burton. No matter how annoying that was, Connor couldn't help the warm feeling that concern created in his chest.

Curiosity gnawing at him, Connor carefully opened the envelope and smiled widely. It was an elegantly hand-written card promising to accompany him to the Natural History Museum. He'd been trying to convince James to go with him for months.

****

James' expression hovered between anger and amusement when Connor, dripping wet and clad only in a towel dangerously close to slipping off, pulled him into a kiss. James held Connor close, despite the water he could feel penetrating – and no doubt destroying - his expensive new suit. “Con?”

Connor's grin was infectious as he waved the card at James. “I've been on about this for months.”

James nodded. “After fucking up your plan, it is the least I could do.”

“It'll be a great day. All the galleys. The dinosaurs.” When James rolled his eyes, Connor added, “You'll love it.”

****

James bit back his sigh as Connor dragged, actually dragged him towards another gallery. On seeing the sign he did sigh. His voice low he enquired, “Don't you get to see them enough?”

Connor grinned widely, bouncing up and down like a child. “Dinosaurs are cool. My mum brought me here every weekend.”

“I pity her, you must have been a nightmare as a child.” James muttered without thinking, immediately regretting it when Connor's grin faded. “Sorry, Con.” One quick glance later and he was kissing Connor behind a conveniently placed model before taking his hand. “Which is your favourite?”

Lovely - with a hint of underlying angst!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks and glad you liked it seems I really can't escape the angst

[cordeliadelayne]

Aw, lovely drabbles!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, the boys deserved a little respite. Thanks for reading.

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

Aww, they were lovely! And Lester won't be able to resist Connor's excitement for long.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Oh, I imagine he'll put on a good show of not enjoying himself (while secretly doing so) ;)

[freddiejoey.livejournal.com]

Nice and sweet - the angst you can glimpse only makes it more poignant.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you like it. The boys keep going angsty on me. Thanks for reading.

I am throughly enjoying this drabble series. Nicely done again.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, so am I (even if I still have no real idea where it's going). Glad you liked it.

Lovely trio of drabbles and loved James noticing Connor's insecurity in the last one.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked them and James is nothing if not observant, he'd have to notice - esp when it comes to Connor. Thanks for reading.

Awww. This was adorable. I loved it as always. Connor would be beyond giddy at the Natural History Museum. LOL! Perfect mental images here. So cute. :-)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, glad you are still enjoying the series. This prompt had to be Connor at the museum. Thanks for reading.

[celeste9]

Aww. They are so sweet! I love that Connor is still excited about seeing the dinosaurs.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I think Connor would still be excited, and now he can tell James all about them too ;)

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Hee - I'm sure that Lester will learn a lot from his trip, and may be even able to apply that info in a useful way, like the mammoth stuff *G*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I think Lester's worrying about that (and he says, fighting dinosaurs is not in his contract *g*). Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[fredbassett]

Lovely! Especially Lester picking up on that little hint of insecurity at the end.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it and thanks again for the beta. Poor Connor's just got to be insecure.

[phoebezu.livejournal.com]

Lovely, definitely lovely! :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Dinosaurs certainly are cool!
Sweet drabbles.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

They are (James adds, when they are not trying to eat people).

Glad you liked them and thanks for reading.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeee, so cute! :D

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked them.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

awwwww! Connor really is like a big kid sometimes. I'm sure James finds it endearing, really.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, glad you liked it. Connor is and James says no he doesn't (but does really).

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Aww! Good for Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. Hee, Lester's in love ;)

[fififolle]

Aw! That's better, James :D

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James is trying to make it all better. Glad you liked it.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

Oh, the things Letser endures for Connor.;)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* It must be love and I'm sure Connor makes it worth his while ;) Thanks for reading.

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

I love over-excited!Connor and the Museum, how is that Lester resisted so much time?

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Connor would have to be excited over it all. Hee, Lester probably realised that Connor would be so excited. Thanks for reading.
