It was three days after Daniel had been admitted to the hospital and Dr. Stevens had said he could be released that morning. He looked over at the cot where Methos lay sleeping and smiled to himself. The man had not once left his side since his arrival. It gave Daniel hope that maybe they'd work things out again. He thought of where they might go because Daniel didn't think he could go back to his apartment given that Methos had killed Jack there. He'd actually been looking to buy a house up in the mountains and wondered if he could convince Methos to stay with him there if he did so...

He was brought out of his thoughts as the door to his room opened and Dr. Stevens walked in, holding all of the paperwork that needed to be signed before Daniel could leave. The doctor glanced over at Methos and then at Daniel.

"Shall I wake him or did you want to do that?"

He cupped the sides of Daniel's face and continued to kiss him before finally needing to come up for air. Methos pulled back and looked him in the eyes briefly before burying his face into the crook of his neck.

Daniel slid one hand through the back of his lover's hair, just holding him tightly.

"Gods... I don't want to lose this again," he whispered softly, still fighting back the tears that continued to threaten even more so than before. "I love you so much... missed you so much..."

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

He wanted to say he was sorry again, but knew that Daniel wanted none of it. Methos kissed his shoulder "I don't want to lose it again, either, Daniel."

That was all he needed to hear and Daniel moved to kiss him softly, pulling him closer to just hold him.

"thank you," he whispered. "I needed to hear that..."

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

"Welcome, Daniel." he held him back for a long moment, "We should probably finish packing, so we don't miss our flight."

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm... fine. But don't expect me to give you up so easily once we're in London," he teased softly, kissing him once more before letting go of him. "Speaking of... where are we staying in London? Does Dante have a home there as well?"

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

"Dante has reserved the Infinity Suite at the Langham hotel for a month." Methos smiled, pulling away to help Daniel pack his things.

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

"Well since you have such impeccable taste, I can't wait to see this suite of yours," he whispered, getting dressed once more so that he could finish packing.

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

"You won't be disappointed," Methos pulled on his clothes.

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

"With you, I rarely ever am," Daniel said quietly as he finished packing, closing and locking the second of his suitcases before moving to the hanging bag he had for the two suits he'd purchased as well.

He started to scope the room for anything they might have forgotten and hefted up his bags. Then took them to the door, opening it up to hold for Daniel with his luggage.

Daniel grabbed everything he had and headed for the door, kissing Methos as he passed him out into the hallway. He followed Methos down and out of the hotel to the cab that waited to take them to the airport.

"Do you still have my papers?"

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

"Yes, they're in my coat." he gestured his head to the trenchcoat he was wearing, as he threw his luggage into the trunk of the taxicab.

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

"Good," Daniel said quietly, his own luggage joining that of his lover before he slid into the backseat of the cab, waiting for Methos to join him so they could be away from this place. The quicker they got out of the country, the happier Daniel would be.

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

He quickly got in beside Daniel and then the cab was off, "So are there any other places you'd like to see in the U.K.?"

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't mind touring Wales, going on into Scotland and maybe over into Ireland before we go to Switzerland at some point," he answered with a soft smile. "I'd spend my whole life touring countries with you if I could..."

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

"If that's what you want to do, then we'll do it." Methos smiled back.

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

Daniel smiled softly, leaning his head against the older man's shoulder, just content to be doing so for the moment. When they arrived at the airport, Daniel handed over his luggage to be checked in, keeping his laptop case with him as he waited for Methos to get them to whatever gate they needed to be at in order to board their flight.

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

Methos quickly checked there luggage then led Daniel through airport security and toward where their flight would be boarding in a few minutes, "It appears we arrived just in time."

[dr-dmjacksonsg1.livejournal.com]

"You are so good about such things," Daniel teased softly with a smile. "good thing you got us out of bed when you did so."

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

"Yes, good thing." he ginned kissing him lightly, before handing their tickets to the stewardess.

Daniel chuckled and followed him on board the plane to their seats, which were in the middle of the first class section. "Window or aisle?" he asked Methos quietly.

[really-oldguy.livejournal.com]

I'll take the aisle." Methos shrugged. He didn't care one way of the other, really. He let Daniel in and then sat down. It wasn't long before the flight attendant began going through the emergency instructions.

Daniel sat down and buckled himself in, not really paying too much attention, having heard it all before. He glanced out the window and wondered if he was going to miss anything about this place... but then he glanced over at the man sitting next to him and realized he didn't care. Home to him, now, was wherever he went with Methos as far as he was concerned.

Methos listened vaguely to the instructions, when he could feel Daniel's eyes on him to so he turned to look at him with a soft smile. Soon after the plane started to move away from the gate and toward the runway. He snaked his fingers in between Daniel's. He was so happy that he was still alive, relief and love filled him every time he looked at the other man.
