Future Stuff ::1:: Been Up All Night

[sword_breaker]

[This was not clicking for some reason. He has been staring at these reports for the past hour and half, nothing having been accomplished besides from papers being shuffled around in a semblance of productivity and knives thrown into the pillar behind him out of sheer frustration. His fingers tapping along the worn metal to keep himself from doing further property damage at this rate.

The bottom line was that stress was gnawing at him.

Not from the job though. If anything, reports should came as second nature after the past few months and coordinating had been relatively easy once the rough first week passed by. Being a vanguard should cause less stress than doing actually fieldwork yet here he was at a breaking point almost.

There was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Those stupid letters and photos and other bullshit weren't coming in anymore.

Something had to have happened and he's stuck here in this goddamn tower like a fresh rezzed moron.

His hands were effectively tied as well. No one could be sent out without the other two's approval and even then it'd be brought forward to discussion by the head vanguard. Which means that nothing could happen for days and he'll be sitting on his ass like he already was. All it did was make him all the more frustrated about having given up his freedom to leave as he so pleased because at least then someone would be out there trying to figure out what happened.

The hunter buries his face in his hands with an exhausted sigh leaving him. He probably looked like hell at this rate. Throwing himself into long hours had made his sleep schedule an abysmal handful of hours in the past few days. Half the time he didn't know how he wasn't passing out during meetings. Be easy to. Pull the hood further down, lean down on the table and maybe get an hour or two of on and off rest. Might be the best time to try it out to be quite honest since the hall was dead before attempting it when there'd be actual repercussions to getting caught.

He grunts after stretching out on the table some, pillowing his head with his arms for something close to comfortable. Shade is called out of transmat to keep a watch on things while an attempt at a nap was made. The ghost whirling softly in concern but does as told.

Things suck. Might as well try to ignore it for the time being.]

[rocketsout]

As if any night out with you could go wrong. This one was definitely top though, probably the best, yeah?

[His hand strays to gently nudge James' chin up, leaning down to kiss him soft and slow. There's a very slight grin when he pulls away, a little sheepish.]

's it too sappy to say I kinda want to curl up with you, 'cause you kinda wore me out?

[sword_breaker]

Same can be said to you. Glad it works out that way. Regardless yea, yea it was without a doubt the best night I've had with you.

[Oh ok that's a kiss and he keeps it going as long as Liam allows for him to do so. The grin is answered with a soft smile while he returns to resting his head on his shoulder.]

One hundred percent sappy. But never too much still. If I can take off this jacket, by all means. Where though?

[rocketsout]

I mean, take off whatever you want, I'm not going to complain.

[It's just a light tease though, and he's running a hand through the hunter's hair fondly.]

Couch. Pretty sure I uh, might fall asleep upstairs. Just a little.

[sword_breaker]

[A pleased noise is given, tilting his head into the touch. He finally breaks away in order to undo his jacket and slide it off, moving away to toss it onto the chair carelessly. His tie is loosened up and slevees are rolled up before he flops a side of the couch with a sigh.]

Promise to not make fun of you if wind up passing out.

[rocketsout]

Good, 'cause I'd have to figure out some way to get revenge and I'm really bad at that.

[But his own jacket is discarded, and he follows closely after the hunter, leaning in once he's situated to drape himself over the man and tug him back to his chest.]

[sword_breaker]

Hate to say it but you are awful at doing revenge stuff against me. So I'll be nice.

[He's back to fully relaxing like they had never left the aircraft, humming contently while closing his eyes to enjoy.]

[rocketsout]

I mean, I could try. Don't dash all my hopes and dreams.

[He's teasing though, winding his arms around the other and just enjoying the warmth.]

[sword_breaker]

Fair enough. Still going to be nice regardless. Don't need that kind of stuff tonight afterall.

[Shifting around is easy enough until he gets comfortable and have room to wrap his arms around him. Definitely feels warm and safe like this. He missed this so much.]

[rocketsout]

Hey, I promised I'd behave. That includes revenge stuff.

[He's laughing though, and he places a tired kiss to the top of the hunter's head.]

[sword_breaker]

I know, I know. However at this rate you'd be excused from that since we're not in public. Making a fool of yourself at home is reasonable. Seriously.

[It comes out half muffled as he rests his cheek against Liam's chest, eyes remaining closed. Comfortable meant having his blind side out and trusting the man holding him.]

[rocketsout]

Oh, good. 'cause that means I can do this.

[And with that he leans down and gently places a trio of light kisses to the top of James' skull, taking great care not to startle him from his blind side.]

[sword_breaker]

[There's a muffled mess of a annoyed noise though it was merely to tease than anything while he inches his head down some. His arms tighten around him in order to supplement the actions further.]

[rocketsout]

[Well now, that's a challenge. There's a warm noise of amusement deep in his chest as he follows the hunter down, pressing more kisses to his head, even dipping down to the shell of his ear.]

[sword_breaker]

[Not going to make this easy by far. The hunter squirms down lower until his face is pressed against Liam's stomach with another annoyed sound. His arms slipping off of him in order to get more comfortable in his new position on the couch and titan.]

[rocketsout]

[Oh heck no, he's not losing this one. With a bit of effort, and a slight wince, he curls over, following the hunter as he makes his escape. It's such an awkward angle, and his side isn't too happy with him, but he manages to drop another kiss before he has to straighten again, this time winding a hand in the man's hair.]

[sword_breaker]

[Is he being childish? Debatable. There's another displeased noise coming after the wince felt but he waits until after the kiss to move, flickering his eyes open briefly in order to set himself up on the other side of the couch. Slight regret at giving up the hand that had been in his hair but he'll live.]

[rocketsout]

[That's certainly not fair at all, and he echoes the noise, brows furrowing and a frown gracing his lips as the hunter escapes. It's not the mozt comfortable thing, but he leans forward until he can crawl over on his hands and knees until he's able to drape himself across James' lap with a dramatic, almost pathetic, noise.]

[sword_breaker]

[What the hell was that? He raises a brow at the noise and the overdramatic flop onto his lap, mussing with Liam's hair.]

What are you doing?

[rocketsout]

[There's another dramatic groan, and he looks up, raising a brow and very nearly pouting. Really, it's ridiculous.]

Chasing fruitlessly after my fiancee-

[Shit, that still feels so new to say.]

Who is cute as heck, but also leaving me to freeze

[sword_breaker]

[He rolls his eyes but ends up cracking a smile, shifting to be on his side and gently coax the titan up to wrap his arms around him. Fiancée though trips him up. Definitely new concept to take in still.

However he presses a kiss to Liam's forehead. Hopefully this was warm enough to stave off any future overdramatic whining. Dealt with worse though,]

Is this better then?

[rocketsout]

Hmmmm....I dunno. I think I might be frozen solid, what with that cold shoulder.

[But he buries his face in James' shoulder, grinning all the while. Though he may still be entirely worn out from the month previous, there's no way that he's going to allow for any time apart. So much to make up for, really. There'd been a lot he'd missed, but the simple things like this, like just being able to feel the hunter's heartbeat and know that things were alright...that had been the hardest.]

Might be fatal.

[sword_breaker]

[His fingers wind into Liam's hair while his other one pulls him in close to make sure that he stays warm now. The month of his absence had made it abundantly clear how much he actually relied on the titan to ground him, anything from simply hearing his voice to this. Every moment he could steal away meant so much to him because in this line of work nothing could be taken for granted and especially when he was stuck back home if things went upside down.]

I'll make sure to rez you if that proves so.

[rocketsout]

[He offers a pleased noise at the closeness, and even then he still winds himself around the hunter in an almost protective manner. His eyes slip shut, and he cranes his neck and places a lingering kiss to the inside of James' wrist before he settles back down.]

Could just stay alive to begin with, skip the whole rezzing step completely.

[sword_breaker]

True that is also an option as well. I might already default to that since I prefer to keep you alive as much as possible.

[A grin breaks out onto his face while he enjoys the warmth and how the titan was wrapping himself around him, not necessarily wanting to protected by the proximity was nice. He sneaks a kiss on Liam's temple after the man settles back down, rubbing circles into his back.]

[rocketsout]

I mean, I like being alive as much as possible, especially around you.

[The kiss isn't quite enough though, and he relinquishes his position to crane his neck up and steal a proper one, grinning all the while.]
