A big sappy grin spread across his face, eyes rolling back playfully before he started to trail behind her.

“After you, boss.”

followed by a yawn-

“Mmm.. reading anything good though?”

[𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘎𝘏𝘖𝘚𝘛𝘚. @SACRIFIClUM]

“ c’mon then, lover boy. ”

‘lover boy’.
stepping back, turning to walk toward the sleeping quarters with a heavy exhale. exhausted.

“ that’s okay, i’ll end up reading ‘til i fall asleep either way. ”

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

He failed miserably to stifle a snicker.

“Gods, don’t say that-“

It’s relief that washes over his expression when asked to join her. Sleep was sporadic without her.

“Yeah, of course. I don’t think my eyes will stay open long enough to read much once I lay down-“

[𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘎𝘏𝘖𝘚𝘛𝘚. @SACRIFIClUM]

“ i’unno if i’d go that far. then i’m just like my dad— ”

TOO SOON FOR THAT JOKE—

“ . . yeah. ‘m tired. will you stay with me? ”

night terrors keep her up and down often, and they only seem to be soothed away when york’s there with her.

“ we can read together. ”

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

“I know you won’t let me live it down. Even if I keeled over, you’d bring me back to give me hell, Lina.”

A chuckle chased the tail end of his words. An arm wrapped loosely around her back as she leaned closer.

“Bedtime huh? Something tells me you’ve been in here too long-“

[𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘎𝘏𝘖𝘚𝘛𝘚. @SACRIFIClUM]

eyes fall shut, head lulling to rest against york’s shoulder. she’s exhausted, both physically and mentally; and that’s evident.

“ i’m holding you to that, York. if anything happens i’m coming after you, y’know. ”

a small jest, but there’s some truth behind it. she +

A half smile on his lips to shove down the twisted knot of guilt in his gut.

Eyes darted to the floor, corners of his mouth twitching into a frown.

“I don’t really 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 getting to that point either— I can’t remember what starts it half the time-“

But his eyes knew, somber blue scarred with the memories running rampant.

“I’m sorry I.. let that+

“ i worry about you, y’know. this only adds to it. ”

at least she’s finally being vocal about how she 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴. that’s something unusual for her. she’s always kept it bottled up.

“ sorry. i just don’t ,, enjoy finding you passed out in the hall so often. ”

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

// I love that achey breaky yorkalina

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

Eyes widened, his next breath like a knife to the chest.

𝘞𝘩𝘺?
𝘞𝘩𝘰? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵?

“Lots of things. They don’t make much sense.”

York swallowed the lump in the back of his throat.

“To forget? Original, right?… To fill holes and voids or what not-“

[𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘎𝘏𝘖𝘚𝘛𝘚. @SACRIFIClUM]

“ mmh. i can smell your thoughts. ”

a sigh slips past as hands reach up to remove her helmet, holding it against her hip. expression forlorn.

“ . . what drives you t’ drink, York? ”

a loaded question, but one that’s sat on the tip of her tongue for so long now.

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

His eyes narrowed at the lie, but he didn’t let his reaction show otherwise.

“I almost went and made coffee, like I would then.”

“You have water? How long you been out ‘ere?”

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

Why 𝘸𝘢𝘴 he here?

“It felt normal, really.”

He’d admit, finding the answer only when the words poured from his lips. Sounding so sure, while his brows twisted to confusion.

“You’d be up every night. Without fail. I would be too… Delta 𝘸𝘢𝘴 pretty restless-“

[𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘎𝘏𝘖𝘚𝘛𝘚. @SACRIFIClUM]

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

This Something or Someone was in his own little world, cleaning guns and… yeah, boozin.

The feeling of being 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 had lurked over his head the entire night. It felt like the project, wandering out to the training room to sneak in.

Watching, silently observing.

[𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘎𝘏𝘖𝘚𝘛𝘚. @SACRIFIClUM]

she’s awake, mindlessly beating her fists against a makeshift punching bag. 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨'𝘴 keeping her awake.

@SACRIFIClUM / that would be CRAZY. GROUNDBREAKING even.

// I’m so effed I messed up my own ooc tag

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

He’d gone to @AGXNTCAROLINA’s room to sleep instead of waiting for her to finish training...

Usually he’d do that if he’s drunk but— nope, clean.

Though he’s not asleep yet, just curled up in the blankets. Tired eyes, lost in thought.

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

@AGXNTCAROLINA + “I know.”

A laugh. He turned on his side as his other hand rose to trace circles into the back of hers.

“You’re a little more ticklish then you like to let on.”

[A . N @AGENTY0RK]

@AGXNTCAROLINA It’d been sparse before everything else, rare was a good word for it now. He felt silly until Carolina’s response was given; a held breath in given as a huff of relief.

York’s hands dragged down his face, pausing when he saw her hand in front of him, to then take it gently.
