[ When Dennis hops up, Joe makes a huffing sound like it takes a lot of effort to actually hoist him up and keep him on his back. Honestly, Dennis isn't really that heavy, and he never really was before he started working out more, either.
Joe hooks his arms in underneath Dennis' knees, craning his head a little to look at him. ]
I know, [ He says, his voice low, because they're close enough that he doesn't really have to speak much louder than a murmur. Joe pauses for a moment, then presses a quick kiss to the edge of Dennis' jaw where he can reach, and then they're off to this surprise destination. ] You can carry me on the way back to make up for it.
[Joe playing at not being able to hold him gets a little 'stop iiiit' from Dennis, but he's smiling. Of course he is. The kiss against his jawline only makes him smile more, turning his face into Joe's neck.
Some days it feels like everything is so perfect, like his life couldn't be any better. With Joe like this, what else could he ask for?]
Deal.
[And as Joe walks he happily hangs on, enjoying Joe's warmth, the comfort of the smell of his cologne. Today is a really good day.]
[ Joe chuckles a little as Dennis agrees without protest. There's no actual chance that Joe's going to let him carry him home — he's too tall for him not struggle, not to mention he's probably too heavy as well, regardless of how strong Dennis might be.
But still, it's kind of fun to just play along and take things easy. Relax a little. Enjoy his company.
Dennis' breath is warm against Joe's neck with his face tucked close, but not uncomfortably so. The weather is cool enough now that the warmth doesn't really bother him too much, and even if it did he wouldn't say anything because he likes having Dennis close.
He tilts his head back a little and hums thoughtfully. ]
Ummm. Ursa Major. Monoceros. [ Joe pauses, then smiles a bit, turning his head a bit so he can glance at Dennis. ] Orion?
[ Joe curls his arms in a little, giving Denni's knees a light squeeze as he looks up at him. He looks somewhat surprised that the last clue went over Dennis' head, but then again, without a little more context, he supposes it may not actually be as obvious of a clue as it would to him.
At least Dennis got that it was Greek. That's impressive enough. ]
... I am, actually. Did you know that, or were you just guessing?
[ If it was a guess, it was a good one. Joe hikes Dennis up a bit, jostling him gently. ]

Wha... you're speaking Greek to me.
[None of that meant a thing to him, maybe it should, but it's not clicking in his head at all.]

You've never heard of Orion's belt?

Oh yeah, I know that... what there some Greek place you're taking me? Never had Greek food.
[He holds on a bit tighter when Joe gives him a little jostle, nuzzling his face into the back of his shoulder.]
