I’m falling asleep at my desk,
sometimes I fucking hate my job.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@Smoothslugger / it’s REAL and HAPPENING…. look around you, people. this is the society we live in

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

/ Gordon when he heard “he asked”

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@Smoothslugger / sometimes you just gotta get your shit rocked. Keeps you humble

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@Smoothslugger / holy Shid

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

h- wh- he— oh my 𝘨𝘰𝘥. okay yeah I’m gonna - yeah. yeah, I didn’t think — ANYWAYS-

( BACK into the lab. that’s embarrassing. )

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

yeahh about that— I’m not used to hearing someone getting choked, actually, BENREY.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

yeah. EVERY time.

I hear weird shit outside the lab every day, but sometimes I just gotta … poke my head out.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

what the shit

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@nihilanthian the - the shaving cream part ! not the … smacking it on my face when I’m asleep part. pff-hah—

( a side eye.
be it a gauge of seeing whether Benrey would do it or not, or an excuse to look at someone he only recently allowed himself to call a friend — he doesn’t know. )

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

‘kinda’ ? alright, aaalright.
we’ll get there one day —

( Gordon’s head cocks to the side. he seems to be analyzing Benrey for a moment, a quick once over and a hum. )

actually - do you wanna hang out ? my shift is over, I just need to hand in some reports. after that I’m free.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗥𝗬. @nihilanthian]

pfah - damn ... this is so sucks. can't believe this.

( another little exhale of a laugh with a faux-exasperated shake of the head; that is, until gordon voices that genuine sentiment. smile remaining, benry simply casts that sleepy gaze towards the physicist. )

... kinda nice.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@nihilanthian ( a pause, head tipped to look out the frosted windows as the narrow, dark caverns of metal drift by. he perks up, realizing his thought went unfinished - not willing to find out if Benrey would actually go through with it. )

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

I need to see a chiropractor - god. my back hurts, man.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

g’night, Mari … take care, hun.

( nestling his face back into his turtle neck, arms crossed over his chest. already asleep again. )

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

dude, not again—

quit fuckin’ messing with me, I’m a heavy sleeper ..! I can’t help it 💢

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

( YAWN )

gotcha. gotcha, thanks ... night time. good, ‘m gonna … head back to sleep then, I think. s’been a long day.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

oh, fuck you, man … mmh. Jesus, how long was I asleep for ? don’t answer that, actually.

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

mmuh … ugh. what— what time is it …

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@nihilanthian times were much worse and life was not a promise, made better only by the absurdity of the people he was surrounded with.

Benrey included, he realized. a new development, a warm one. one that he welcomed — carefully, but with a newfound gentleness about their relationship. )

[𝑮𝑂𝑅𝐷𝑂𝑁 @physicspuzzles]

@nihilanthian around Benrey, to lean back and enjoy a moment of respite without sabotage. )

that’s not even a challenge … it took Bubby rolling me down a ladder to get me to wake up once. huh. that did happen, didn’t it ?

( a light breath of a laugh escapes.
memories. old ones, when
