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

[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.]

[sword_breaker]

As I've noticed. It's fine though.

[It's relatively quiet otherwise and he enjoys Liam's proximity, feeling as though he could take on anything in order to continue the moment without interruptions. Thankfully there are none and they arrive back at the apartment with no complications.

He pulls him inside, shutting the door before having to contemplate where to go from there. For now he simply nuzzles into the titan's neck lovingly.]

[rocketsout]

[The moment that the door is shut and there's a hunter nuzzling into him, his hand strays to cradle the back of the man's head. It's quiet, he likes that, and there's nowhere he'd rather be.]

Love you too. Was a good night out. Better than anything.

[sword_breaker]

[Well it had been quiet up until the talking started though he didn't particularly mind that. This was nice and peaceful, stealing more time where it was the two of them. He rests his chin on the titan's shoulder with a soft sigh, smiling some.]

Mmhm. I'm glad you liked it.

[rocketsout]

Nothing not to like. Probably one of the best nights of my life.

[And it's the truth. He leans over slightly to brush his lips across James' temple, content to just stay and drink in the man's warmth.]

Anything else planned, or do I get to steal you for the rest of the night?

[sword_breaker]

That's good. I ugh mean excellent actually. Really good to know.

[He probably had some reports that should be looked over or something when it came to his position. But that wasn't what was being asked so he simply shakes his head.]

No that was it. Steal away.

[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.]
