Friday Afternoon and Evening- Mainland

It had been a busy day for Connor already, and he hadn't even had a class to deal with like Cutter had. But he DID have a lot to keep busy with to make sure everything today went according to plan.

After their talk last week, Connor had made arrangements for a little day trip to the mainland. He had something special planned and had somehow managed to keep it a secret from Cutter until now. He looked down at the pamphlet to the small museum he had found.

It sounded like someplace Cutter would enjoy. Connor just hoped he was right and resisted the urge to fiddle with his gloves as he waited for Cutter to meet him so they could catch the portal he had set up for them.



(For that guy. That they met to go on a date is okay but rest once they catch their portal is, of course, NFB due to distance.)

Cutter smiled brightly at that, “oh, what place did you find for dinner?” he asked curiously, “even though spending more time at the museum sounds great as well,”

“I’m really glad we’re doing this,” he added, his smile widening.

Now Cutter was a little torn, on the one hand he did like the idea of spending as much time with Connor at the museum but dinner at an Italian restaurant also sounded nice.

“I do like the sound of Italian,” he admitted, “it’s been a while since I’ve had it,”

It was very cute.

Cutter smiled at that, “I do like the sound of that and …” his smile widened, “especially coming back for more visits, I’m sure we could make multiple trips ,” he added, tilting his head a bit at that.

Cutter definitely liked the sound of all those trips and he squeezed Connor’s hand in response, going slightly red as he did.

He smiled warmly, “I never thought any of this could ever be possible, thank you, it’s …I don’t think I can even put into words how much this does mean to me, being here with you,”

Cutter’s cheeks went red as Connor pulled him in to kiss his cheek and he just smiled happily at him for a few moments before turning his attention to the museum, “let’s go inside,” he smiled back at Connor with a nod.

Cutter’s eyes lit up as he took in the room, unsure of where he wanted to go first, “oh this is fantastic,” he grinned, “I don’t even know where to begin looking,”

“Actually that works, I covered that in my class this morning,” Cutter told him with a grin, the geek Palaeontology talk was definitely working, “or at least the basics of it …I would probably need a whole semester to cover just the Cambrian period on its own,” he admitted, he tilted his head, “actually that could be a good subject for a future class,”

“Really?” Cutter was trying to maintain a serious expression but was failing pretty hard that, “it just so happens that I could use an assistant for class, it sounds like it could be a good fit,”his smile was wide now, “he needs to be prepared to step in and teach at a moments notice though,” he added, even though he had a feeling Connor would be prepared for that.

After all he hadn’t even know who Connor was originally because he hadn’t turned up to the seminars, Stephen had largely been responsible for running those.

“Well then, I’m looking forward to hearing from him about the position,” Cutter grinned as he followed Connor’s gaze to the first table, “oh these are beautiful,” he remarked as he leaned in for a closer look, “trilobites are such fascinating specimens,” he gushed.

“I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen them yet,” Cutter admitted, “with everything else we’ve seen but I know I don’t want a repeat of the centipede and the scorpions,” he added as he took a closer look at one of the fossils, “but it would be beautiful to see a live one up close,”

Cutter happily leaned against Connor as his leaned his arm around him, taking the time to appreciate just how nice this was.

“I should go more in depth on the Cambrian next week and talk about the trilobites then,” he mused, “it’s incredible to think they were around at the same time Rex was,”

Cutter smiled at that, “it’s incredible to think just how much history there is and we’ve only scratched the surface of what we know, there’s so much that we’re still finding out,” he said in an awed voice.
