[ For Matt, it's a deep, dreamless sleep, the kind where all the exhaustion he's been avoiding catches up all at once, and it's almost a wonder the sound of the alarm even reaches him, brief as it was. He squeezes his eyes a little tighter, trying to resist the urge to open them, wanting to pretend he's still asleep for a little. Which is easy enough. His eyes are ridiculously heavy, and the shared warmth is so comfortable and relaxing he's not actually sure he could get up if he wanted to. But it's probably obvious that he's awake by the way he shifts when Shiro's breath hits his skin, and exhales, soft and content. ]

Maybe if we just stay here they won't actually miss us.

[ ... Well, that was stupid. The sound of his own voice wakes him up more than the alarm did, even though all he really wants is to fall back asleep like this. ]

[ Now there's a mental image he can't help but laugh at—everyone bursting in on them sharing a bed. Him still in Shiro's shirt, hair disheveled from going to bed while it was still damp. There's no way they'd ever be able to play it off as anything platonic in their current position, either. ]

That'd go over well, huh? I guess if we're going to play 20 questions about our love life, I'd at least rather have clothes on.

[ That... felt weird to say. Should it be this hard to wrap his head around the idea that all this is actually happening? Maybe he's so tired nothing is processing the way it should. He ends up suppressing a yawn of his own. ]

I've gotten through worse. I just—you forget what a real bed feels like, sometimes. If I got anymore relaxed, you'd probably have to physically carry me out.

[ Which at this point, he wouldn't be entirely opposed to, really. Even with the commotion it'd probably cause. Or maybe because of the commotion it'd cause? ]

that is a lot of thanksgiving omg

I don't know how I'm supposed to want to leave when you do things like that.

[ Joking, but there's also a grain of truth in there, because yeah, he could pretty much do this all day. Kind of wishes they time and less obligations to just stay here and be useless all day, but... Eventually. Someday. They'll figure something out somehow. ]

Seriously. I still don't get much access to either, sometimes. Covert ops can be pretty killer.

[ Not that he lives in squalor, but comfort? Not exactly a priority, or even a realistic goal, sometimes. So he'll take what he can when he can get it. ]
quantumcode: (agreement)

i've pretty much lost track of what position they're in so sorry if this makes no sense lmao

Well, I guess I'm trapped now. You found my weakness.

[ Matt shifts slightly, pressing in a little closer so their foreheads are just barely touching. He gives a small, exhausted sigh, letting his eyes drift shut again. Honestly, he doesn't even remember the last time he had this little will to get up and be responsible.

Slowly, they open again, as he's half laughing. ]


Much as I appreciate the offer, you know you're starting to work in bed, right? Let's save it for a supply meeting.

[ That catches him a little off-guard; that wasn't really the question he was expecting. He doesn't even really need an actual shower as much as to just splash some water on his hair and comb it out, but... Yeah, he's interested. ]

I... couldn't exactly complain. It'll help us to get to know each other again, if nothing else.

[ They may have seen each other half a million times at the Garrison, but they've never been allowed to stop and admire the scenery, so to speak, until last night, which just made it clear how different they are now. The chance to get a little more familiar with them sounds... good. Really good. ]

It might turn out like last night, though.

[ Which is kind of like admitting he has poor self-restraint, but given their situation, it can't really be helped. ... Probably. ]

[ Matt, on the other hand, is laughing pretty overtly. ]

Yeah, that's the plan. I wanted to try out the "just jerked off in your friend's shower because you couldn't keep it in your pants" version of the walk of shame, which I apparently invented.

[ He still can't believe he did that, so all he can do is power through it by making fun of himself. ]

Sounds good. I'll see you in a minute.

[ Turns out that it's actually pretty easy to force himself up once Shiro is gone, and he takes the opportunity to stretch out some to wake himself up. It's a little pathetic how much he instantly misses the contact, but that's what communication base assignments are always like—you come out a little desperate for people in general. Or maybe it's just from being out here for so long.

He strips down and lets himself slide into the shower, but contrary to his expectations, he's a lot more interested in just the hot water than anything else. Shutting his eyes sighing into it even though he's mostly just getting the backdraft from Shiro. It's still plenty relaxing, as far he's concerned. ]

Yeah, thanks.

[ If he sounds distracted, that's because he is, letting the water open up his senses and just zoning out, because it's one of the places where he actually can. That means he never sees Shiro reach out to touch him and flinches as his hand touches his skin, having to force himself to bite down any other reaction and relax into it. ]

.... Sorry. Not really used to being touched from behind being a good thing.

[ he turns his head back slightly to offer a sheepish smile. if there was any tension in him at all, it evaporates almost instantly at the hands in his hair, and he lets himself ease into the massaging motion. ]

Man. That actually feels pretty awesome.

[ The same things, huh? That's something he'll have to take note of for later, so he doesn't do the wrong thing. It seems so obvious given what they've been through, but it's not something he ever would have thought of. ]

We can work on it.

[ That's all they can really do. For now, he just lets his eyes slide closed, savoring in the soft motions in his scalp. He pulls his fingers through as he lets the lather run clean, and shuffles aside so that Shiro can have the share of the water again. He reaches to grab for a little container of body wash. ]

Here. I think you're a little tall for me to return the favor, but I can get your back.

[ Shiro has a point there; that did sound a little awkward. He kind of wants to laugh, but instead, he raises his hands almost defensively. ]

What? It wasn't that weird. I thought it was just spine.

[ there's a pause where he half considers apologizing, but he's not actually sorry at all. ]
quantumcode: (simpler times)

[personal profile] quantumcode 2017-12-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, that didn't go where he thought it was going. He's almost half-expecting the apology to turn into some kind of elaborate joke, and tries to nod seriously along with it, but somewhere along the way he realizes Shiro is actually apologizing for real, and that's when his expression cracks. He can't keep a straight face anymore. ]

Shiro? I'm going to need to need you to think about about what I just said. Very carefully.
quantumcode: (simplicity)

[personal profile] quantumcode 2017-12-07 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ And now he's just laughing. ]

Hey, it's fine. I don't let these things hold me back. [ he pauses. ] I'm done, I swear.

[ Ridiculous and terrible? Definitely yes. But he's having fun, so who cares? ]

It's pretty universally bad, [ at least he can admit it ] but I guess you're special. I usually only do that to my sister.

[ he shrugs slightly, and dispenses some soap into his palms, trying to keep the initial touch careful. He lets his hands slide over Shiro's skin, caressing soft circles of lather into his back. Before he quite knows what he's doing, he finds himself pressing his thumbs into to the soft flesh between Shiro's shoulder blades and spine, easing out whatever tension he can find. Maybe it's an excuse to keep touching him. After a minute, he brings hands up to give his shoulders a squeeze. ]

Better?
