European Train Ride Week

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

Lets see if I can get it right this time.

Sorry this is so late. Ended up in the hospital this afternoon. This will be a low key week because I don't have it in me for a lot of activities at the moment.



Welcome to The Ebbsfleet International Railway Station located to the east of London. From here, you will be catching the Eurostar train to Paris. Make sure you have your Eurail train pass handy. This is the pass that will allow you to travel throughout europe. If you lose this, you may have to buy a new ticket or remain where you are while the rest of us go on.


Feel free to have a look around the station. The train will be here shortly. As soon as it arrives, you can find your seat and then wander around and get to know your fellow travelers.

Day 2: Welcome to Paris. Feel free to wander around and enjoy the sites.

Check out these attractions: Attractions

If you just want to find a hotel, here are recommendations: Hotels

Day 3: Welcome to Amsterdam. There are sites to see for everyone. Check out the canals. Eat in one of the many fine restaurants. Or if you are into more risqué fun, check out the Red Light District. Here.

We'll be heading for Berlin in the morning.

Day 5:
Today we've arrived in Venice. Venice is really a collection of small islands connected by canals. Venice is the perfect city for couples. If you want to stay around, you can catch the Venice Carnival that begins the end of January. For now, you can take a romantic or relaxing Gondola ride. You can take a tour of the city by boat. You can crash in one of the many luxury hotels. There are museums, amazing architecture, or opera houses. If nightlife is your thing, there are jazz clubs, coffee houses, and pubs to enjoy.

Day 7: And our trip this week ends in Budapest. Stay as long as you like and enjoy your trip home.

Isaac's eyes widen as he feels hope swirl through his body. "What," he asks breathlessly.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"I love you," Scott whispers. "And you deserve to know that and you deserve someone who will do this right, so... how would you feel about going on a date tonight? Like, an actual real date. And in Paris... that's pretty romantic, right?" He's still blushing, looking a little uncertain.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Isaac blinks the tears out of his eyes. "You're asking me out on a date? You're not breaking up with me?"

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Breaking up with you? I... what?" Scott looks confused, blinking at Isaac.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"You.. the way you acted. And you talked to Derek. So I thought he told you something that made you not want to be with me anymore." Isaac bites his lip.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Derek told me not to hurt you."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Isaac is speechless, not used to anybody trying to protect him, least of all Derek.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"He warned me. To know what I'm getting in to. To not push you... to not hurt you." Scott gently caresses Isaac's cheek. "I told him I'd kill anyone who hurts you. Which... isn't an exaggeration."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Isaac leans into Scott's hand and closes his eyes. "I thought you were going to hurt me," he says quietly.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Scott's breath catches, and he winces. "No, I... shit," he swears softly. "It sounded like it, didn't it." Scott pulls Isaac into a fierce hug, hard enough that it would injure someone who wasn't a wolf. He holds on tight, burying his face in Isaac's shoulder. "I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot. But I'm your idiot, Isaac, always."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Isaac squeezes Scott back just as tight and tries to calm himself by breathing in Scott's scent, even though it's muddled by Derek's. "It's just... you didn't tell me if you were mad at me. And I thought about my dad..."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Shit, shit, shit." Scott never swears that much, but he's mad at himself, because he didn't want to scare Isaac. "I'm not mad. I'm not, I was just... I was thrown, because I didn't expect to see Derek, and then everything he was saying, and he was so right. And he told me things I didn't know, Isaac, things we didn't know."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry for not telling you. I didn't think you'd come if you knew he'd be here too." Isaac bites his lip. "What things?"

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Like... werewolves mate for life," Scott whispers. "It... breaking the bond that's made, when you mate... it can kill." He presses his face to the side of Isaac's neck, breathing deep. "Derek's afraid that I'd do that to you. That I'm not as serious as you are. Which means he knows how serious you are... which means you're really serious, doesn't it." His voice gets softer, the longer he talks, until it's barely there.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Kill?" Isaac flushes. "Really serious. I think because I'm more sensitive, I noticed things before you did."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"For the record, Isaac... I've never been this serious about anything. But Derek's right. I can't risk hurting you. So... Maybe that means we take things a little slower." He bites his lip, face saying that he'd rather do anything but take it slow, even though he's willing to do anything for Isaac.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Isaac nods. "Slow could be good." He bites his lip and blushes. "I've never been on a date before."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Scott looks surprised, then grins. "I'd better make it a good one, then." He sits up straight again, taking both of Isaac's hands in his. "Can I take you for dinner? Somewhere totally cliche, like you'd see in a movie, and then we can walk along the river..."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Isaac smiles shyly and nods. "That sounds good."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Squeezing Isaac's hands, Scott blushes. "Can I kiss you, now?" It feels like a silly thing to ask, after everything they've been through together, but at the same time it seems right.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Isaac giggles and nods.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Grinning, Scott leans in to brush his lips over Isaac's, just barely. "I really like kissing you," he whispers, before capturing his lips in a long, slow kiss.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Like it too," Isaac replies, breathlessly. He melts into the kiss and feels boneless already.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"'Course, I like a lot more than kissing, too," he murmurs against Isaac's lips. Resisting the urge to lay him down in the bed, instead Scott trails a hand slowly up Isaac's arm, over his shoulder, and tangles fingers in his hair.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Is that considered slow," Isaac teases, even though he's blushing.
