Dom was lying on his back, stargazing, listening to Viggo's words,
"Not hiding here, not really, just putting on a face, a mask I guess, 'one
of the lads' you know. But I guess it's a bit tough
sometimes...keeping up appearances. So...Here I am..." Dom ended,
turning back over from his back to lie on his front, Looking at the
older, wiser man.
_+_+_+_+_+
"I suppose I can understand that," Viggo said, looking away from the sky
again. "And what's so bad about being yourself around the others?" Viggo
reached to pour himself some more coffee, sipping at the hot brew. "And
yes, here you are."
Viggo stood, stretching his legs as he moved about the small campsite,
kneeling next to a bag.
"Hungry?"
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom answered the last question first, almost avoiding the other
topic "Yeah I am a bit peckish actually."
He poked the fire again, Viggo's question poking at his mind. "It's
not that I'm hiding me, cos I am a bit of a lunatic sometimes,
but...I'm also quite serious, quiet...but I can't be that round them,
I'd get squashed...so I just put a mask on, enhance my daft
side...But I'm still me underneath...sitting, watching."
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo nodded, pulling out a few things from the pack and tossing them to
Dom. Trailmix mostly, some fruit.
"Have to be daft to run with that pack, eh? I’m sure they'd love that
description," he laughed. "Well, even though you stumbled upon my little
hideaway quite noisily, you're welcome to stay here and be quiet if that's
what you want for a while." He was glad to see that Dom hadn't come out
here looking for him to make his life more exciting--hobbit style. Viggo
might have had to kill him for that.
_+_+_+_+_+
"Thanks Vig...And I mean that. You could've just chucked me back out
or summat, stayed here alone...so...thanks," he ended, munching on an
apple, drinking the last of his coffee, staring into the fire,
letting his mind still, calm.
_+_+_+_+_+
"I think you knew there was very little chance of that," Viggo observed.
"Or you'd not have wandered out here this time of night, all alone, without
so much as a torch. And you're welcome." He still wasn't sure there wasn't
something else that had driven Dom, but that was Dom's story to tell, and
not Viggo's place to pry. He could be a very private person and he
respected that in others.
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom quietened as Viggo ate, he stared into the fire, mind numbing
over, eyes watching the light, feeling it calm him, return his
equilibrium, the last of the alcohol slipped away, leaving him still and
peaceful. He stifled a yawn behind his hand, poking the fire with his
stick again.
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo pulled out another joint, lighting it and taking a deep drag. He
nudged Dom with his foot and offered it over with a raised eyebrow, but said
nothing, not wanting to disturb the silence around them, it was so
peaceful--the sound of the fire, of the forest around them. This was
nature, being so far out from everything civilized...Viggo loved it, craved
it. It spoke to him, and helped him keep tabs on Aragorn as well.
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom took the joint and lay on his back again, bright spots in front
of his eyes from staring into the for so long, he took a long pull on
the joint, rolling it round in his fingers, lapping up the calming
atmosphere surrounding them. This was good, nice for Dom, a nice
change, too much had happened recently, too much activity, not enough
time for contemplation. He stared up at the stars. seeing all the pin
pricks, one triangular constellation caught his eye, He pointed up at
it, "What’s that one?" He asked softly not wanting to disturb the
silence too much.
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo looked to where Dom was pointing, but couldn't tell what he meant
exactly, so he got up from his spot at the tree, kneeling next to Dominic,
grabbing his arm to follow where it was pointing.
"Ah," Viggo said. "That's Triangulum Australe, the Southern Triangle."
The man didn't move from where he was sitting yet, looking at the stars.
Viggo loved star-gazing, and he was glad to see that Dom seemed to share
that love. He finally moved to a cross legged position next to Dom, picking
out other constellations mentally.
_+_+_+_+_+
He looked up, tilting his head back, Viggo had moved so he was cross
legged, Dom's head now resting on the ground by Viggo's crossed feet.
Dom tried to rack his brain for more constellations. He passed the
joint back after another drag "Isn't Aquilla round here somewhere?"
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo looked up again, brow creased as he scanned the skies.
"I believe Aquilla is a northern hemisphere constellation," he responded.
"If I'm not mistaken. That though..." he pointed. "Is Ara, the altar...to
the left of the southern triangle."
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom scooted up till he was leaning on his elbows, head just above
Viggo's lap. "What's that one above us, twinkling brightly" he asked,
looking up, past Viggo's chest and his face to the sky above, his
heart felt like it was beating way too loudly.
_+_+_+_+_+
"That's the Southern Cross," Viggo said, smiling to himself. "That's the
one people write songs about, I remember the first time I saw it. I love
that one. It always makes me think of the Crosby, Steels and Nash song.."
Rambling, which Viggo was good at--he didn't notice or care. "I love just
looking up at the night sky, it's so easy to get lost and it helps put
things in perspective. That and the ocean."
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom smiled up at Viggo's enraptured face, more interesting than the
sky now. "Yeah, the ocean here is so blue!" He reached up with one
hand, taking the untouched joint from Viggo's hand, unbalancing
himself and falling sideways so his head rested on Viggo's thigh,
taking a pull on the joint he tried to stay calm. //Just an accident,
falling over, he's not gonna get pissed off or anything...is he?//
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo let the joint go without protest, barely even noticing as he stared up
at the stars. When Dom fell on him, it jarred him out of his thoughts, but
he didn't overly react to having the young man's head practically in his
lap--at least not outwardly, though it quickened his heartbeat just a bit,
he ignored it.
"Yes, it is very blue, very beautiful...I love the ocean here, but every
ocean has it's own charm....California has a charm all it's own, but it'
can’t rival here, I doubt I'd ever be able to convince Henry of that though."
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom's heart fell as he heard another man's name pass Viggo's lips, he
didn't move, he just tensed up a bit. //Fuckit you don't even know if
he has a boyfriend...or even a frikin girlfriend// He tried to calm
his voice with another puff before saying "Henry? Who's he?"
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo felt Dom tense, but he didn't think much of it, as he plucked the
joint from the younger man's fingers and took a deep drag himself.
"Henry? He's my son," Viggo responded after he exhaled the smoke, passing
it back to Dominic. "He's in Los Angeles with his mother right now."
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom took another shakey drag. "You're married?" he asked, voice
hitching just a little handing the joint back, fingers sparking a
little at the touch from Viggo.
_+_+_+_+_+
Viggo took the joint back again, taking a healthy drag, shaking his head but
not speaking yet. When he let the smoke out, he chuckled.
"No, not anymore. Not for a while now," he responded, looking down at Dom.
_+_+_+_+_+
Dom's chest soared at the words, and then more as Viggo looked down
at him. //He always seems to see straight through to my soul. Like I
could never hide anything from him...And I wouldn't either, if he
asked I'd do anything//
"I...I'm sorry." Dom took a deep steadying breath, he was sure his
face was flushed. "You still see your son though? Henry."
_+_+_+_+_+_+
"Oh don't be," Viggo said with a chuckle. "It was the best thing for
everyone involved. We're much better friends than we were ever husband and
wife. And Henry stays with me mostly, it's one reason I stay in California,
so there's no strain with him staying with me or Exene. It's very amicable,
she and I are still friends."
Viggo took another drag on the joint.
_+_+_+_+_+
"That's good! It must be nice, having him live with you, to share
everything like." Dom couldn't tear his eyes away from Viggo's face,
chin dark with shadow and a smudge on it from a dirty hand rubbed
across a cheek. But to Dom he looked so handsome, so stunning in the
firelight and starlight.
_+_+_+_+_+
"Sometimes," Viggo laughed. "You've obviously never lived with a twelve
year old...but seriously, I am glad we can both stay such a part of his
life."
Viggo ran a hand through his hair again, before lowering it, accidentally
brushing it across Dominic's head gently in the process.
_+_+_+_+_+
"Yeah, must be nice, still to be able to do that for him." Dom
sighed, then almost jumped as he felt Viggo's hand brush over his
head. //Just an accident Dom, don't be so daft.// Dom was loving the
strong feeling of Viggo's thigh under his head, but he was starting
to feel a little sleepy, the pot was doing way too good a job of
relaxing him, he felt his body sink against the ground, one side warm
from the fire, his head warm from Viggo's lap. He yawned and snuggled
his head down a bit. //Nice pillow//
