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]

You got one of them, still got another perfectly good one over here.

[He waggles his fingers a bit, then curls in closer to James.]

[sword_breaker]

Do I need to take both of your hands then? Cause I can and I will if need be.

[rocketsout]

I mean, think that sounds like a pretty good idea, just in case.

[sword_breaker]

[It takes a moment but he reaches over for the titan's other hand, tugging him over as he leans back in order to coax him into laying on him.]

Is that better?

[rocketsout]

Mmmyeah, much better. Good view, comfortable, and hands safely prevented from doing anything indecent. Think it's perfect.

[He flashes a grin up, squirming a bit to situate himself more.comfortably, then lets out a sigh of contentment, closing his eyes.]

[sword_breaker]

Good view? Glad it's comfortable though. Besides we should keep the indecency at home whenever possible. Definitely perfect.

[The squirming earns itself a soft grunt from him but after the titan settles out does a pleased noise leave him. He was more than willing to close his own eyes but someone needed to keep watch of their arrival.]

[rocketsout]

Yeah yeah, gotta stay proper outside of closed doors, all that.

[He leans up so he can press a lazy kiss to James' collar though.]

You're warm.

[sword_breaker]

Exactly. So these hands are mind for the time being.

[A laugh is drawn from him, leaning down to kiss his forehead softly.]

I try to be. Someone really enjoys it.

[rocketsout]

They're always yours.

[But he laughs quietly at the kiss, nuzzling into his chest.]

I mean, I don't know who that could be. Sounds like a pretty awesome guy though, if I have to say.

[sword_breaker]

Good to know. Never going to give them up.

[He smirks, shaking his head.]

Oh really? Shame. I'm sure he would appreciate being acknowledged properly.

[rocketsout]

What if I need them?

[He smirks back up, raising a brow.]

I mean, maybe he's humble, or something like that.

[sword_breaker]

I will give them back then if necessary.

[A shrug of his shoulders and he's leaning back some.]

Fair enough.

[rocketsout]

Hey, I kinda need them for some important things. Dregs aren't gonna punch themselves.

[sword_breaker]

You can't be creative with how you kill them? Such a shame. Tad bit disappointed now that that's the case.

[He releases one of Liam's hands though in order to hook an arm around his shoulders, knowing that the ride won't last forever but he was going to enjoy it as much as possible.]

[rocketsout]

Hey, punching is a classic, gotta stick to the staples.

[He grins up wolfishly, giving a pleased noise at the hold, moving to curl his fingers loosely around James' forearm.]

[sword_breaker]

Well true. I can't ask too much of my titan, now can I?

[He presses a kiss on the top of his head, rubbing gentle circles while keeping a ear on the changes in the engine.]

Let you punch everything and anything.

[rocketsout]

I like that.

[There's another pleased noise.]

Like that you call me yours.

[sword_breaker]

Well so long as you let me, I will continue to call you so. Also you know, I appreciate some of your punches. And I do say some.

[rocketsout]

Good, never stop then. And don't worry, only good punches for you. Promise.

[sword_breaker]

Promise I won't then. Good to know.

[There's a slight bump that makes him look up to the sound of the aircraft's arrival back at the tower which meant they would have to get up soon. Which meant losing his comfortable position. Sucks really.]

[rocketsout]

[He offers a displeased noise as the craft jostles, and though he's reticent to move, he pushes himself up with a grunt of effort, but not before leaning in to steal one last kiss.]

[sword_breaker]

[Wont complain about the kiss but the fact that he has to move now is definitely up for debate. He pulls himself up to stand and rides out the last of procedure before the bay door opens. Then his hand reaches out to grab Liam's to gently tug him out of the aircraft.]

Almost home.

[rocketsout]

Yeah yeah, I haven't forgotten that yet.

[He teases back, and while the rough landing jars him a little, he pushes it all out of mind as he stand as he's tugged. It's definitely a lot easier with someone else there.]

[sword_breaker]

I was just saying. Not as if either of us would forget.

[The walk back is rather pleasant since there wasn't that much commotion in the halls which allows him to pull Liam in close and move his arm to go around his waist instead. He didn't give a damn what other people thought as they passed by. This was time with his titan and it was fantastic.]

[rocketsout]

Just giving you crap.

[The rest of the tower be damned, he's more than happy to slide in close, winding his arm around the hunter's shoulders with a grin. No force was going to move him, and he stays pressed close as they make their way back.]
