“This is Hunter! I don’t understand the human custom of instructing people to leave messages after a beep, but here it is! Beep!”

[ He startles a bit - Hunter always startles at touch, even now - but leans in. ]

Yeah. We're - we're all doing our best, for sure.

[neonleon]

[...Okay he can do that. He'll keep petting fingers through Hunter's hair then. Tried and tested, Hunter approved.]

Good. Best way to handle that kinda stuff. I know New York's doin' the same thing.

[pyrighteous]

[ Definitely approves, given the way he's leaning. ]

It is?

[neonleon]

Definitely. Whole place was trashed in the invasion.

[pyrighteous]

... Oh. Right. When the Kraang attacked.

[neonleon]

[Something about Hunter saying the name has his head aching with a sharp, sudden pain. Leo takes a quick breath before settling to lean into him.]

Yeah. They'll have some fun rebuilding after all that.

[pyrighteous]

[ ???

Hunter immediately moves to draw him in closer, worried. ]

Sorry, did I say something wrong?

[neonleon]

No, you didn't. Just- I try not to think about those things too much. You didn't say anything wrong.

[pyrighteous]

We can still talk about something else.

[neonleon]

It's - Sorry.

Something else, um. Hey we should try to hit our objectives. Yours is books, right?

[pyrighteous]

Books, yeah. And - uh. Cuddling too.

[neonleon]

Two things we can definitely do without any problem.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah, uh. Should we do that?

[neonleon]

We absolutely should. You pick what's first.

[pyrighteous]

How far are we in Cosmic Frontier?

[neonleon]

Hmmmm, think we just got to the clone reveal to us, but not to the captain.

[pyrighteous]

Oh right. That's around -

[ he goes to retrieve the book. ]

[neonleon]

[He watches Hunter reach, just... admiring for a second. His boyfriend. Boyfriend that chose him. If he's crying a little, don't worry about it Hunter, they're good tears that he's wiping with the back of his forearm almost immediately.]

I'll, uh. Get this set up. [Absolutely moving to arrange the bed for ultimate cuddle nest.]

[pyrighteous]

Thank you, Leo.

[ and look at that fond smile too. He finds the right book quickly enough and comes back to that nicely arranged bed. ]

[neonleon]

[That smile is everything right now, Leo not knowing what he'd do at this point if Hunter wasn't here. Soon as Hunter comes back, Leo piles in for the ultimate cuddle-and-book time.]

'Course. Anything for you.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter settles in close then. ]

S. Same for you!
