hm、 alright. [ upon agreement、 corner of his lips pulled into a minuscule smile; mirroring the other、 enough for the scientist to notice. not like it matters if it isn ‘t. +
[ hff. mitya hates to stay trapped in his lab, he gets bored easily, however, the sarge sounds so... convincing. it has nothing to do with the way valeriy towered over him,
Valeriy who suddenly have a change of heart after learning Shram's backstory being a bodyguard in a forbidden love with his charge...
What if it reminds him of his situation with Mitya; of the way Valeriy loves Mitya despite he's just a mere bodyguard.
[ he was aware of his distance、 yet the major remains before the scientist ‘s smaller stature. to keep guard、 he reasons. ] i can think of excuses to share with the jester、 on the condition that you don ‘t leave your lab. +
[ the disposition of their bodies was something else, legs slightly parted to have the sarge close enough so he could brace himself upon desk, nearly upon him as well. mitya is bright red now,
mitya … [ bodyguard props the researcher upon messy desk、 palm rest on the edge of the table. worry crept upon visage、 knowing of his act. ] … you can rest the whole day tomorrow、 how about that?
and i am not allowed even the privacy of waking up late this once. [ he murmurs, albeit there is little to no venom in his words. he’s upset. just a tad. crease between eyebrows as mitya begins to organize his paperwork in two stacks. ]
@STELLARSCIENTIS clearly you ‘re not fit to continue your work. [ palm grabbed upon scientist ‘s wrist、 halting dismissal wave. ] get some food in you before you continue.
@STELLARSCIENTIS you ‘re important in your line of work、 isn ‘t that an honour? [ though valeriy could see exhaustion seeping upon his countenance. ] if you need rest、 we ‘ll grab one right now.
you ‘ve slept the whole night、 i even allow you to sleep in for another ten minutes. [ though he understands the constant annoyance he must have conjured on the scientist、 duty is duty. ] i ‘ll treat you to something later. promise.
[ a frown adorns sleep–riddled face, unsure if he should snap or simply take it easy. slightly annoyed. ] i don't like how you do this, i should be allowed to sleep peacefully at the very least.
