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.]

Comments

[rocketsout]

[For a moment there's definitely anxiety, because everything that he's said was so cliche and he's so worried about it being received poorly, but then there's a hand in his hair and oh- oh that's a kiss. He all but melts into it, suddenly weak from the relief that floods through him. He didn't fuck up. This wasn't a fuck up.]

Well yeah.

[His voice is thick with emotion, even if he tries to play it off. He slips his hand over the hunter's, gently taking the ring and fumbling for a moment before he's able to slip it on the man's finger.]

Love you, so much.

[sword_breaker]

[There's the soft rumble of a laugh emanating from his chest during the kiss, wrapping an arm around Liam's waist to pull him in closer during it. His hand reaching up once the ring slips on and cups his cheek, gently stroking with the pad of his thumb. This was nowhere near a fuck up.]

Love you too.

[rocketsout]

Never gonna forget it.

[His own hand strays up to cover the hunter's, and he leans into the touch with a contented noise.]

[sword_breaker]

Good. I wouldn't want you to.

[His fingers intertwine with Liam's and gently brings both of their hands down before making sure that the transport was enroute. It shouldn't be too long.]

How about we go home?

[rocketsout]

Yeah, I'd like that. 's been too long since I've been able to.

[Really, could things get better? He's certain that they couldn't, because this is certainly the highlight of his risen life. But is that the transport? It is, and he tugs James towards it.]

[sword_breaker]

[Ok getting pulled along catches him off guard and he stumbles for the first bit but ends up finding a good pace to keep up. Soon enough they're back in the belly of the transport. He takes a seat with a soft sigh, sliding his hand out of Liam's but not without a slight smirk.]

So we're alone. How about explaining that desire you had on Venus? With me face first in the sheets.

[Honestly he didn't expect anything out of it. Merely a tease at the titan than an actual request to know things.]

[rocketsout]

[He takes a seat next to the hunter, leaning in slightly to rest against him, grinning softly and closing his eyes.]

Like I said, sometimes a guy needs something to get him through the lonely nights. Sometimes that's thinking about coming home to the guy he's sweet on desperate and moaning. Shameless, even. And I mean, you gotta go from there so-

[Definitely teasing.]

[sword_breaker]

[His arm winds around his shoulders to bring him in closer, rolling his eyes good naturedly at the tease.]

Hm I don't know if I'd ever be desperate. Shamelessly moaning? Definite possibility.

[rocketsout]

[He relaxes into the embrace, nuzzling gently into the hunter's shoulder.]

Gotta let a guy have his fantasies.

[Traveler, it's good to be back and able to banter like this.]

[sword_breaker]

[A kiss is pressed onto the titan's temple, giving a content hum. This was nice. Back to having him at his side and teasing back and forth with each other.]

Fair enough. So how did it go? Come home and find me in a compromised position?

[rocketsout]

[The kiss garners a pleased noise, and he relaxes even further into the hunter, grinning wryly against his shoulder. There's certainly amusement when he speaks, even if he's far too comfortable to move.]

You really want to know?

[He pauses for a moment, as if pondering. Really, it's quite theatrical and completely unnecessary, but no reason not to be a bit playful.]

Come home, yeah? 'n you're upstairs in bed, hands and knees, head down and kinda shoved into the pillows. Must have been working yourself up a long time, 'cause you're really flushed, like that way you get sometimes.

[He laughs under his breath, grinning wider.]

And I mean, you got a hand on yourself, slow and the like. Like, I'm not quiet y'know? So I get up there and you kinda look over and do that thing you do where you don't take no for an answer and I mean-

[Alright, his cheeks might be a little red.]

Yeah?

[sword_breaker]

[Oh.

Oh ok that's definitely one hell of an image in his head now. It wasn't hard to sort of fill in the blanks since yea he had sort of done that while the titan was away on Venus. Trying to use the pillows in order to keep himself quiet.

He shifts uncomfortably for a moment, attempting to stave off anything from ruining this. However it would serve him right since he had asked about it. Just need to stop thinking about it.]

Yea, yea I get it.

[rocketsout]

[The shift is noted, and he hums under his breath, still entirely unwilling to move now that he's comfortable.]

Like I said, guy's gotta have something to get him through the boring times.

[He presses an almost apologetic kiss to James' shoulder though.]

[sword_breaker]

[He glances down at him, certain that he was a rather vivid shade of red but hopefully it'll calm down after a bit. Though that damn image was sticking to the forefront of his mind.]

That's one hell of a something. I don't see how that would've helped. Might've made things worse on you since there was no privacy or anything.

[rocketsout]

Well I'm not saying that it did in some ways.

[There's definitely amusement in his tone.]

At least it kept me from being bored? Though uh, not the most comfortable.

[sword_breaker]

[Definitely going to shake his head at that one.]

Bored no but the comfortable part? Already can figure out why it wouldn't be, dork. Not exactly needing decryption on that one. Hopefully I can stave off that boredom for you though.

[rocketsout]

I mean, undersuiting is pretty constricting.

[But he's laughing all the same, opening his eyes and leaning up to steal a kiss.]

You always do. Always.

[sword_breaker]

It can certainly be revealing. Especially on you titans.

[He lowers his head in order to make the kiss more comfortable, knocking his forehead against Liam's.]

Good to know. I can say the same for you. Never a dull moment really.

[rocketsout]

Psh, 's cause we're the most fashionable, didn't you know that?

[Or maybe it's because that's far more utilitarian, but that's so much less fun.]

Never gonna be a dull moment for the rest of ever.

[sword_breaker]

Yea...no. That is not even remotely the right reason on that one. Blame the fact that one, no armor there at and two, your mark never covers it so...

[Hopefully he doesn't have an awkward incident in here. So far he was calming back down which was a definite help.]

Maybe a bit of quiet moments though but those aren't dull either.

[rocketsout]

What, are you looking there a lot?

[Oh he's certainly teasing again, and he leans in to drop a quick kiss along the side of James' neck.]

And gotta appreciate the quiet too, yeah?

[sword_breaker]

[His cheeks burn at the accusation and he has to look away, trying his best to glare at the transport's interior. Fake some form of interest in the metal.]

What? No. I don't.

And yea, we do. The quiet can be nice sometimes.

[rocketsout]

[He's definitely smirking now, very much so.]

What, I mean it's not a bad thing, like I'll even model for you if you want.

[Is he being a little shit? Of course he is.]

Would take just one quiet moment with you over ten thousand matches in the crucible.

[sword_breaker]

[The blush grows even worse at the suggestion and only receives silence from him otherwise. It doesn't help that the other bit is rather flattering to be honest so he focuses on the hull.]

[rocketsout]

[Oh he can feel the heat from James' face now, and he grins into the side of the man's neck, shifting so he can nuzzle gently.]

Love you.
