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.]

[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.]

[sword_breaker]

I would definitely agree that I prefer you alive not matter what. So I'll make sure to keep it that way as much as I can-

[However whatever else he was going to say stalls out at the kiss, shifting his hand to cradle Liam's neck during it.]

[rocketsout]

[Oh good, that definitely worked, and he adjusts further, sliding up the length of James' body until he's more comfortable, draping himself over the hunter with little care in the world. When he does finally have to break away, he doesn't pull back, but rather moves to brush soft kisses across the other's cheek.]

Good. Counting on it.

[sword_breaker]

[His arm adjusts with the titan's movements to rest around his waist while the other one eases down his back as the kiss continues. The kisses on the cheek earn a small smile and he tilts his head into them some, humming contently.]

Yea. So am I.

[He dips his head down in order to brush his lips along Liam's pulse before burying his face into the crux of his shoulder.]
