Red vs Blue pt 2



Anything goes. Leave prompts, pictures, songs, or starters. Cross-canon, AUs, and everything else is a go.

"Yeah. Thanks." It's more than he'd try for or want or even think he could get with anyone other than, well. Someone he was gonna have sex with or North. Whom he probably won't ever see again because.

Vampire.

Okay the reality of the situation might be sinking in, but words. They should be a thing. "Am I supposed to...feel you? Like a pull in the back of my head."

A desire to be near him because Locus right now means Safety. Means Protection and Security and all those little things that make his lizard brain go mellow and happy.
goddamngrenades: (I could throw it out)

"So it'll go away eventually?" That's- probably safer for both of them, honestly. Will definitely make shit less awkward in the future so he can go for a lean or a hug instead of crawling into Locus' lap like a goddamn kid. "Already got two living in here, don't know if I got room for three."

Especially with this weight Locus' presence seems to have.

"...you do remember the thing that made me make up my mind about this, right?" Will he be alone. Now that he's not dying it's such a pathetic reason to cling to life but-

He stomps that thought down.

"No, it doesn't. I think it might be troubling you, though. Cuz- honest? I wouldn't be all up in your business without that in my head. I just learned your name, like, ten minutes ago. I'm easy but not that easy."
goddamngrenades: (it's easier to tease)

"Swapping bodily fluids is something I usually reserve for the third date." But gosh if Locus isn't charming. Or at the very least damn compelling with the alternative is death.

"Not much longer, I promise." He tries not to be a needy asshole but sometimes? It's hard. Just. A little longer for him to bask in this. Soak in the sensation of being held close and protected to make that thing in the back of his head find it's fucking chill. "...My name's Taylor. Just- so you know. Taylor Murray."

"Mmmhmm. York's- tied up in the Project. I've tried to put it behind me." And died diving right back the fuck in, so. Lesson learned there. Now he's...different and he'll deal with that in the morning. Evening? He shifts to adjust how he's sitting, arm looping around Locus' waist as he settles.

"I have fallen asleep on less comfortable surfaces." This is fine. More than fine. "But. Yeah. Real you instead of armor you might make this go faster."
goddamngrenades: (So you're saying it's impossible.)

"I've been living in mine so long-" He shakes his head, finally sitting back. Okay. More...more level, now. He doesn't, however, slip out of Locus' lap for...he's not thinking about it too hard. "Keeping it on when not hunting is probably something I can do, but I'll need to get some actual civvies."

Eventually. For now he tips his head back, thinking.

"...D's better. Annoyed with you for 'vague and unhelpful instructions and delayed information' but. Better."
goddamngrenades: (i could be strong)

"He was preoccupied with trying to figure out what the hell was going on." York shrugs. "And- uh. You talk to me? You talk to him. He's riding shotgun."

It's simple enough to reach up and tap the chip set into the base of his skull. "...Also weird: I can feel the neural lace in my brain now. It's all...tingly."
goddamngrenades: (fine i'm listening)

"We think faster, now. I can keep up with Delta mentally which is a fucking trip. Well- maybe he's a little faster than I am but nowhere near the extent he used to be." The world is no longer at a standstill. Their reaction times are sharper, clearer. He could test on some kind of puzzle but-

None on him at the moment.

"We're probably twice as badass as before, at least."
goddamngrenades: (swear i'm innocent)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2017-07-20 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like fun." He'll need time to get good at the whole...being alluring thing. It'll come to him, he's sure. For now he slips off of Locus' lap and stretches, peeling the gloves and thin socks of the undersuit off for the sake of having more of his skin exposed to the air.

"Now that you mention it- I'm dead tired." Get it?
goddamngrenades: (So you're saying it's impossible.)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2017-07-20 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
He did. Look if he can't laugh at himself who can he laugh at? No one. So self mocking humor it is, boss. He simply continues a bright smile at Locus as though that will make up for the pun as he settles on the bed properly. "Really? This is pretty okay to me."

Not complaining but- it's got a bed with a real mattress. AFter five years of hiding in abandoned warehouses and hidey holes it's kind of luxurious to him already.

The hell is 'more comfortable' going to be?
goddamngrenades: (and we died anyway)

"You've got a real mattress and a place to stow your armor that isn't a corner of the room. This is a palace." Especially if he's got running water but- shit he's had to get used to because of keeping on the down low.

Shit he's gonna have to adjust to, and isn't it kind of a nice change that he's gonna learn to get used to soft beds and vaguely comfortable living?

"I am a simple man with simple needs." He shifts to make room without comment, tucking up on one side facing Locus because- well. Even if he's been saved. Even if he's not human and vulnerable anymore-

Taking out Delta's chip is stupid easy and habit is a hard thing to break.
goddamngrenades: (and we died anyway)

"...what, that I might grow some existential angst and resent you for swooping in to save my life? I've already been a teenager once, man. As long as I don't get a bout of vampire acne I think I can handle coming to terms with this new life. You saved me. You gave me Delta back. You don't want anything from me that I'm not willing to give, so." He shrugs, shifting enough to not fall off the bed and ending up with his head on Locus' shoulder.

Because cuddly bastard.

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't, but the odds are in favor of us being cool."
