[Hong Kong and the lights of the city in Hermann's eyes, like stars, and his tears, and dancing in their hotel room... Hermann is the universe. He is everything.
And though they will always have their picturesque rockstar landmarks: Alaska, Hawaii, that destroyed corner of Hong Kong and its bright beautiful counterpart, Hermann is four walls and a line of tape down the center. He is two different world's divided lab spaces, one apartment. He is the spaces that are theirs, domestic and personal and secure.
The kiss is soft and sweet and tastes of cherry and he's so overcome by the suggestion of Hermann's statement. If Hermann had proposed at home, Newt is pretty sure their brains would have short circuited. The kitchen, their apartment, the epitome of their domestic life together...and in it, the symbol of spending forever like this, forever as partners, lovers, friends, husbands...it would have been too overwhelming. And Hermann could never have properly recorded it--after all, Hawaii was public. A proposal, a marriage, that was public. This was their space...the personal space of quiet promises and intimate vows between the two of them and no one else.
Like their Drift.]
Good thing you picked Hawaii. The sand's a hell of a lot softer on your knees than this tile.
