Leon Wang looked out the window of his boyfriend's car at the volcanos that surrounded them for miles. He was quite impressed. It was his first time ever going to Iceland after meeting Emil online five years previous when they were twelve. He was almost embarrassed to admit that they had met on a RuneScape server. But now as he looked out the window, he still couldn't believe he was really there, getting ready to spend the summer in Iceland with his boyfriend of two years.

"So what do you think so far?" Emil Steilsson asked him in English, flipping his snowy white bangs out of his violet eyes as he drove. The sun had set long before he had even gone to the airport to pick up his Cantonese boyfriend. "Do you think you'll like it here this summer? Or would you rather return to Hong Kong?"

"Well what would you think?" Leon asked, also in English. A mischievous grin that he knew Emil couldn't see played on his lips. His tanned hand reached over and grabbed Emil's free one that wasn't on the steering wheel. "I'm just so glad that I'm finally here. Why would I ever want to return to a place where you're not?"

Emil laughed out loud. "I don't know. That's a good question, Leon." He smiled and stroked the back of Leon's hand with his thumb. "I just hope the volcanoes don't freak you out."

"What do I have to fear when I have someone like you with me, right?" Leon asked, smirking. "I have my big, tough, level 40 mage to keep me safe?"

"Oh, shut up," his boyfriend softly grumbled, blushing. "We work better as a team, oh great level 47 warrior."

Now was Leon's turn to blush. "You actually remembered my exact level, you fucking nerd," he said, laughing nervously. He squeezed Emil's hand slightly as he saw Emil yawn. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not exactly," Emil admitted. "I was just too excited to see you today. I mean, how often do you see the love of your life in person in a country like this? Not many people ever come here to visit, you know." He sighed. "So I guess I was just too excited to sleep. I drank some of my brother's coffee, but it's not doing anything for me."

"I may live in Hong Kong, but I do know how to drive on the right side of the road as well," Leon stated. "If you need a break, just let me know."

"I wouldn't make you drive Luke's piece of shit car," Emil huffed, laughing. "But thanks for the offer anyway." He pointed at the GPS. "This thing fucks up a lot and sometimes it's just a mess. You're better off just being a passenger. Besides, we still have about an hour or so left on the road."

Leon smiled warmly at him. "You might feel different later on, you know," he said. "My offer will still be up later if you need it."

Emil blew it off, exhaling and flapping his lips. "I'm fine, Leon. It's nothing I haven't done before." He blinked a few times to focus on the road better. "Here, talk to me a bit more. Keep me awake, Leon."

"Ha! I knew you were dozing at the wheel!" Leon defiantly stated.

"Yeah, you're smart. Shut up," Emil grumbled. "Let's just talk about something to keep me awake. Make it something exciting and fun and even sexy if you want to, just my opinion is all."

Leon laughed. "Sexy, you say? You mean like that one time you got overheated while we were webcamming a year ago and had to go ask your brother what to do?"

Though Leon couldn't see it, Emil's face was a deep crimson at just the mention of that story. "Don't remind me," he groaned. "It was so embarrassing when I had to tell him I was having a wank to a guy on my computer. At least he thought it was porn. He would've killed me if he knew we were webcamming when that happened."

"So you told him you were looking at porn?" Leon asked, holding back roars of laughter. "You never told me that part of the story! That's gold, Emil! Pure gold!"

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?" Emil asked him, cracking a small smile. "And what about you? Remember that one time when your mother walked in on you actually having a wank to a picture I sent you of me."

"Yeah, she deleted it off my phone, too," Leon grumbled. "I'll need a new one." He squeezed Emil's hand. "But now that I'm with you in person, pictures won't be necessary for awhile. Not when I can look at the actual thing."

Emil felt his face and body grow hot. "Okay, too awake now. Partially aroused," he admitted. "Change of subject, Leon. Can't drive when aroused."

Leon laughed loudly. "Sorry, Em," he said. "Does your brother still live in your house with you and your mom?"

"Nope," Emil proudly stated. "That bitch got fucking married last month. His name is now Lukas Køhler. He's totally the wife. We all know it, even my mom. She's already accepted when I came out to her last year about you that she won't get grandchildren unless they're adopted. Luke and I just like dick way too much."

"If he doesn't live with you, then how do you have his car?" Leon asked. He was slightly confused.

"He lives next door," Emil laughed. "Mathias, his husband, constantly complains about the almost visible umbilical cord that attaches him to our mom. I'm pretty sure Lukas will always live next door to her. But not me. Maybe I'll move to Hong Kong one day."

Leon made a face. "I don't want to live in Hong Kong forever. I want to get out there and see the world," he admitted. "I want to see the sights that every country has to offer before I'm too old to get around with my own two feet." He smiled widely. "You feel me?"

"Yeah, I get that," Emil stated. "And we should do that. I'm down for it. This summer, I'll take you to see all the greatest parts of Iceland. There are so many beautiful spots in this country. I'll even take you to Reykjavik! That's the capital!"

"I'd like that," Leon said, smiling. "That would make me very happy." A faint blush dusted his cheeks as he mentally decided this would be the best summer ever.

"I've been there a few times," Emil said, smiling. "I really like it a lot. It just sucks that we only have about three hours of daylight here. But I think you'll get used to that. We have plenty of fish oil to go around. And we have the artificial sunlight lamps that we have to sit in front of."

"Hence why you're so fucking pale," Leon said with a laugh.

"But you love it," Emil quickly said.

"You've got me there," Leon said, as he gave Emil's hand yet another light squeeze. "How did you get so amazing?" He sighed as he admired Emil in the dim light from the car radio and dashboard. It was easy to see the Icelandic boy due to his pale skin and white hair. "You're so beautiful," he said. "I really mean it. Your hair and your skin. I can't wait to see those violet eyes in proper lighting."

Emil blushed. He didn't get compliments like those too often. "You're too good to me," he softly said. Truth was, he didn't really know what to say. Since he wasn't used to compliments, he didn't exactly know how to respond to them. "Thank you, Leon. I appreciate it. Your words are very kind and very much appreciated."

Leon leaned over and softly kissed Emil's cheek. "Anytime, my wonderful Icelandic dork," he said, laughing. He laced his fingers through Emil's. "I love you," he softly said.

"I love you too, Leon," he responded, smiling. He yawned once more. "Fuck, I'm yawning again. Quick, I need to be woken up again. Talk about more things, Leon. I need more things to talk about."

"Like what?" Leon asked. "Give me a topic."

"How about we talk about us?" Emil suggested. "Surely there's more we can talk about regarding us."

"There's always things about us we can talk about," Leon agreed. "Like how we met on RuneScape because we're fucking nerds." He laughed so hard he snorted, causing Emil to laugh and him to blush. "God, I haven't snorted in over a year. Look what you've done to me."

"But it's cute when you snort like that," Emil said, smiling. "It just means you're having a good time is all."

Leon rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever."

Emil began to blink his eyes, his eyelids growing heavier. He hoped to God that Leon wasn't noticing that at all. If so, he'd never forgive him for driving him around in that condition. "But you're right. We were mega fucking nerds."

"Just the worst," Leon laughed. He smiled over at Leon, noticing the blinking. "Hey, are you sure you're doing okay?"

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine," he answered, yawning once more.

"Yeah, don't lie to me," Leon stated. "Could you do me a couple favors?" He stroked Emil's hand with his thumb as he looked over at him with his dark brown eyes and pushed his dark brown bangs out of the way. "It's a simple favor really, and it's only because I care about you."

"What is it?" Emil asked.

Leon smiled at Emil. "Alright, but you'll have to agree before I say anything."

Knowing he had no other choice, Emil nodded. "Okay, fine."

"Alright then, here's the plan," Leon stated with a smirk. "And remember, it's only because I care." He saw Emil nod. "Pull over. Let me drive for awhile."
