There… Viggo thought, satisfied, as his Hasselblad clicked softly, capturing forever the muted radiance of the rising sun. Done for today… The light would now change gradually into full daylight and that was not the effect he’d been seeking. He’d done well to stay up all night to catch the changing light from night into dawn. Now it was time to head home.

He rotated his neck, elated but tired. Coffee, he needed coffee… But he distinctly remembered using the last of his coffee yesterday. He pouted.. He was in no mood for coffee in a diner, even if he were to find one open so early. Then he brightened.. Sean! Sean would certainly have some coffee in his hyper-organized kitchen, instant if nothing else.

***

Sean groaned as the doorbell kept ringing. At first he’d thought it was the alarm clock and had futilely tried to turn it off before remembering that they were not shooting today and that he hadn’t set it.
With a heartfelt curse he dragged himself off the bed and made for the front door. He opened it with a lot more energy than necessary, a scowl darkening his handsome features.

“Viggo?” he asked, astonished, as he found Viggo on his doorstep, a camera slung around his neck and a happy grin on his face. “Christ, what the fuck are you doing here man? It’s practically still night!”

Sean stepped aside, allowing Viggo in. He rubbed a hand over his face as he closed the door behind his castmate and run his fingers through his hair, confused.

“What are you doing up so early, Vig? We’re not working today, you should be in bed catching up on sleep…” The way I was trying to do… he wanted to add.

“Oh, I will..” Viggo answered, smiling cheerfully. “I’ve yet to go to sleep. Stayed up to take some pictures of the light changing.. Stop looking at me as if I were insane!” with a fond grin at Sean’s astonished face, Viggo pushed him in the direction of the kitchen. “And make me a cup of coffee.. please..”

Sean groaned in disbelief. “Please, don’t tell me you woke me up because you wanted coffee… Don’t you have a home, Vig? A kitchen all of your own?”

“Yes, but I’m out of coffee.. C’mon Sean, don’t be grumpy..” Viggo smiled his irresistible smile and Sean grumbled but got a tin of coffee out of the fridge and started spooning it into a filter.

“I’m spoiling you rotten, I know it..” he complained, turning on the coffee maker and fixing a stern green gaze on Viggo. “The things I do for you, my friend…”

Viggo just chuckled complacently. “You’re not spoiling me. You don’t even keep some mate in the house for me and you know it’s my favorite drink.”

“That swill?” Sean asked incredulously. “You want me to keep that swill in me own kitchen?”

Viggo laughed and reached out to take the mug of steaming coffee Sean had just filled for him.

“Don’t be so damn British, Sean! You may not like mate but its origins go as far back in time as those of your tea or of this coffee. And you shouldn’t underestimate its powers…”

“There’s nothing wrong with being British, Vig, I am British and you won’t catch me drinking that stuff. And I don’t give a rat’s arse about its magical powers. No…” he admonished, shaking a finger as Viggo opened his mouth to speak. “You’re not giving me one of your lectures on mate now. You dragged me out of bed so that you could have coffee, so at least do me the favor of drinking it while it’s hot.”

***

Crazy bugger… Sean thought as he closed the door behind Viggo and went back to the kitchen to clean away coffee mugs and remains of toasts and eggs. He dumped everything in the sink and decided he’d better go back to bed. It was still fairly early and maybe he could catch another couple hours of sleep.

But sleep eluded him, he was now wide awake and there was no going back to the deep sleep he’d been enjoying before Viggo’s arrival. With a muffled curse he sat up in bed and looked around for something to read, it was still too early to get up.

He picked up a magazine one of his girls had left lying around after their recent visit and started leafing through it. After a while he huffed, bored. He’d gone through half the magazine and all it talked about was dieting, exercising and make-up tricks... He was about to give up and throw it down to the floor when flipping a last page something caught his attention.

Herbal remedies to give you energy read the title on the top of the page, followed by a feature on a number of herbs, describing their effects, side-effects, dosages etc.

And of course it was there in all its glory… yerba mate…
And of course Sean found himself reading. After a few moments he raised his eyes from the page, saucer-eyed and gaping. Then he blushed, then he narrowed his eyes calculatingly. A faint smile hovered on his lips as he lowered his head and re-read what he magazine had to say about mate.

This feels like it has the potential for great fun!

I'm looking forward to more...as well as the affects of "yerba mate" according to Sean.*hehe*~lbl~

Lol, I hope it will live up to that!
The problem with mate is that it tastes really disgusting ;)

"The problem with mate is that it tastes really disgusting ;)"

I did't know that...I've seen it in the stores here...never was interested...don't think I will be...other than your story...no wonder Sean is always saying it taste like shit in various fictions...I'll look it up on the net.

May I friend you?~lbl~

[moldava.livejournal.com]

Of course you can! And I've friended you :)
I've tried mate once but I couldn't stomach it, and I'm usually a drinker of herb teas..

[ladybluelove.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I have so enjoyed your stories!

Thanks for sharing about the mate taste, *yuck* now I know not to taste it for my research!

Like you I'll stick to the reg. herb teas.;-D

[seleneheart]

*stomps foot* What? What are the effects of yerba mate? *pouts*
*waits impatiently for more*

[moldava.livejournal.com]

Coming soon, sweetie, coming soon. Written already, it just needs a bit of editing. I didn't even want to post this fic, felt it was a bit flat.

[ullman.livejournal.com]

This is so much fun. And definitely leaves me wanting more. *g*

[moldava.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling :) More coming soon.. Why not try out a cup of mate in the meantime?! *veg*

[liars-dance.livejournal.com]

Ooooh - you dark horse! Why did I not know anything of this fic?

So,what did the magazine say? Come on!! Finish what you started. And I do love it when an author says this part G because its clear that subsequent part(s) might not be G...

*smooches*

[moldava.livejournal.com]

Lol, yes, this part G and I'm going to make the second part smuttier, which means editing, which means I must stop pushing Boromir's pants down *sighs*

[liars-dance.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare stop pushing Boromir's pants down!!! *g*

Just get your life in order so you can get this finished and get Boromir's pants round his ankles...

A faint smile hovered on his lips as he lowered his head and re-read what he magazine had to say about mate

[moldava.livejournal.com]

Heee, you always come up with the most appropriate icons *smooches*
Coming soon darling ;)

[makamu]

[moldava.livejournal.com]

It's quite logical, you know, all that energy must go somewhere *ggg*

[hithluin.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I think I know what it is!

*joins the queue waiting for more*

[moldava.livejournal.com]

I promise you won't be kept waiting long, and yes, it's fairly easy to guess *winks*

[moldava.livejournal.com]

More soon, thanks for reading!

[ribby.livejournal.com]

*grin* I *knew* there was a reason for all of Viggo's...ah...energy. *wicked grin* Of course, now I'm waiting (and not very patiently, either) to see if I'm right.

*hugs*

[moldava.livejournal.com]

Energy, yes *veg*
And isn't he cute sucking on that silver straw? Almost as cute as Aragorn with his pipe ;)

[widdershin.livejournal.com]

You cannot leave us there for long?! *pleads*

Why is it I can so easily imagine Viggo turning up on his doorstep like that? *g*

I enjoyed this so much - their 'friendship' is so real!

[moldava.livejournal.com]

No sweetie! I wrote it all during Xmas vacations but it needs editing, will probably post it over the weekend.

And yes, that's the kind of thing I imagine real!Viggo doing.. I'd kill anyone doing that to me but maybe I would make an exception for him ;)

[widdershin.livejournal.com]

Yay! I will look forward to it.

... and yes, my welcome mat would be out for Viggo too!! ;)
