[ This one's quietly drinking his tea in his office, reading through the news on one of the fresh newspapers laid out on his desk. The recent attempt on Catherine Stone's life has him frowning, but other than that, he's fine. It's Vigil business, something he would like to feel more mobile on, but Riley's aware that he can only do so much, given his current condition.
He's not tired round the clock like when he first woke up, but he's not like other particularly stubborn Malice Kings who push the envelope where it concerns the words "house arrest".
Still, it is so damned tedious to be stuck, and to know that only time and rest can see to it. ]

[He knows that look, Riley Falner. He knows that tone, and he knows all of the things that happen after you couple that look with that tone and that particular gesture.
There is no avoiding this, is there?]
Just for a bit, then?
[He knows, as well, Mr. Falner, that when Hikaru Shinta says that, he's really asking Is this necessary?
Do forgive a boy for trying.]

[And where Hikaru really meant to head straight for his room and curl up and maybe pretend he wasn't alive for a few hours, he finds himself wandering close to the office Liandrin shares with Riley and Aidan. He can also hear Riley inside.
Something in him aches. Maybe it has to do with what he's just figured out for himself a few minutes ago. Maybe it has to do with that odd sense of deja vu that's coming over him, given the last time it wash him here, and that man over there. Maybe it's both.
He really, really hasn't been at his best lately. This had to stop.
For the moment, though, he's going to see what he can do to not make any of this seem too strange. Riley's probably noticed him by now: might as well preempt the other man. (Yes, he did promise to be better. It doesn't have to be now, though, does it?)
Knocking now, and valiantly resisting the urge to just... lean on the thing. People are passing through the area. It's morning.]
Riley. Are you going down to join the others soon?
[...And really, Hikaru Shinta, get your shit together. He's definitely going to hear the way you sound (read: like you are not good in the slightest).]

[ Yes, he heard. And yes, he wasn't going to press -- but since you have decided to break the silence, my boy... ]
I think I'll stay in today, I'm not feeling up to snuff. [ Read: NOT A LIE, especially when this one's awake when he's supposed to be asleep. ]
Come join me?
[ It's an offer the Blade King can admittedly turn down... it'll just mean Riley will be all by his lonesome for the next couple of hours. ]

Thanks, Brother. It means a lot to me and my family.:)
Haha, okay, I won't. We can swap Tuesdays with Brig/Hikaru some other time.:))
[ Yeah, Tuesdays have been those really eventful, sometimes alat, super bitch days. ]
[There is silence on the other end of the door for precisely fifteen seconds, and then a sigh.]
Yeah, I think I will. Not feeling too hot myself.
[But the door isn't opening. Moments like these, one is one's own worst enemy.]

You never need 'too long' in order to do some damage.
[That statement is deceptively light, even as this one's sitting down beside you and fetching his cigarettes. He has a very strong feeling that he'll need them.]

What, and risk having yet ANOTHER day where you're going to take advantage of my vulnerability and wish that I never drank with you again? BEYOND Tuesdays?
Am more than willing to take my chances, and just make every Tuesday from hereon as nice as I possibly can before we have another Special Moment. :p
[No, he hasn't really forgiven you for being such an amazingly good guy. 8T]

[ Riley manages to push himself up the moment he hears that sigh. He is also laying a hand on the knob just as Hikaru finishes that sentence and opening the door about two seconds later. ]
Go on. [ The Daywalker smiles pleasantly as he gestures gently into the room. ] No one here but me.

[ Riley in turn is pulling out his own cigar case and the accompanying cutter to trim the end of so that he can smoke. All of this is done in painfully easy silence.
He doesn't know about you, Blade King, but he's enjoying just being in your company.
Eventually, though: ] What is it with the people drawn to you and pack-minded creatures?
[ Hiding a smile now, behind a puff. ]

[Hikaru, on the other hand, stares at him for a moment, and he looks about as lost as he did that other time he ended up in your office and had to eventually apologize for bleeding all over it.
It's disappearing, though, as the younger Malice King attempts, once again, to shore up whatever left of him into himself in a last ditch attempt to remain functional for just a bit longer. Hopefully long enough to get through the door, and away from prying eyes and ears - something he's attempting to do right now.]
I need a drink.
[Yes. Yes, he does.]

[There's a lifted eyebrow in your direction, Riley, at your words. This one's been smoking too, and enjoying the scenery. (Attempting to, anyway.)]
I dunno. I'm just that hot, I guess.
[Yeah, he's being difficult.

[ Brig tries to think if it had been on Tuesday. He recalls it was Monday morning. Vulnerability? Ohwai, Hikaru had been avoiding drinks after that session. Herpderp. Brig, chuckles. ]
[ I love you very much, Brother.:) ]

[ This is a text sent your way while Josh is peering over the top floor rail towards the activity area of the Shangri-La Plaza. There's someone playing down below on the baby grand piano they have set up in the middle of everything and by the way that the woman's going through her pieces -- this seems to be a normal occurence.
It's... nice. ]
[ He's dressed up, but nothing too formal: a good pair of well-fitting dark jeans, a button down shirt in light gray and a lightweight blazer in charcoal -- with a pair of converse sneakers in black and white.
( The place he's picked looks classy but it's listed as a 'casual restaurant' with a price range that doesn't quite match the streamlined decor. He knows a little of this stuff, but they didn't specify a dresscode so... whatever works, right?
He's never done this date thing before, okay. ) ]

[ At first he thinks that it's simply that he's overwhelmed. You're his first and this is all so new, but with each stroke he feels you close around him tighter and it doesn't take him long to make the connection with what it is that the tip of him is coming up against and the way you're quivering in his arms.
So, he's curling around you, kisses mouthed against your shoulder, over the ink spread across your back, and softly punctuated by your name, whispered and strangled between his lips. Even as he tries to curl his fingers around your length, his grip is faltering, because the room feels so small, the air too thick and it's all he can do to breathe as the ache builds.
You'll feel the spasm go through him as he's unable to hold back any longer, as he emptied himself into you, the helpless and gasped sounds leaving him accompanied by the heat of his breath right beneath your ear. ]

If every moment we had was Special, Brigade, I'd be inclined to murder you after a week. :p
[He loves you too. :))]
SENT: 7:41 PM
Yeah, already en-route. You know I like to be punctual. :)
[His car, in fact, is already driving the both of them towards Shangri-La. He took a bit of time to drop all work-related things off at the Tower, and dress up in something that was a notch nicer than his usual. Just a notch.
Is he pleasantly surprised by this? Yes. Yes, he is.]
[That's more than enough to set this one off, and he ends up riding your high, blending it with his own, and losing himself in it perfectly and utterly based on the way he feels beneath you, and how he sounds. You'll feel, in those last moments, how he breaks around you, the hot warmth of his own cum spilling out over your hand.
When it finally releases him, he slumps down over the sheets, eyes shut and breath shallow as his mind scrambles to recover, as his body tries it best to stop shaking itself apart. It's been far too long, and to be fair, he had not ever thought that he'd be able to be here, like this, with you.]

[ He feels a little deaf. Like the room is too eerily quiet that the silence has its own hum of sound, his breathing making far too much noise even if each intake is slow and deliberate. His heart.is alsp thudding in his chest, reminding him a little of the last game he'd ever played, whole and well before his second life.
He's like that for about a minute, and then you'll feel him easing off his weight over you -- just a little, as well as the tremor that goes through the arms bracing his weight on either side of you.
He's... not planning to move. Not yet. Being this close allows him to enjoy the luxury of breathing in your skin, basking in your warmth.
He takes a long ( and oddly content-sounding ) breath before he murmurs: ] So.
Is this going into the night right right way?
[ Yes, he's smiling against your shoulder. No, he didn't mean to think about Shin Yamatai, he just remembered that dig because... because. ]

see you soon. am up on the top floor.
will step out for a smoke until you get here.
[ He's sending that off and walking towards the Starbucks at that point, grabbing himself a coffee and then making his way out the side door and towards what looks like the open air roofdeck.
When you finally come around he'll be seated at one of the tables, eyes turned towards the light of the city. ]
[There's a pause from this one's end, then a quiet laugh.]
I think it already has.
[No, he's not going to move at all. You are, quite literally, holding him together right now. He wouldn't trade this moment for any other in the world at this point.]

[And after he's parked, after he's come around and stepped out and spotted you, he has to pause just a moment to soak the sight of you in. Everything and everyone else? No, none of that matters.
That much becomes obvious when he comes around, and greets you not with words, but a kiss right on the mouth, slow and gentle.
Happy Blue Day/Black Day/Day of the Dragon, indeed.]

[ Yeah, he was going to say 'hi,' but then you did that and now he's thinking about nothing else but your lips on his and the fact that the date? The one you two were talking about back in Ireland -- it's falling into place without interruption.
When you two do break apart, he's unconsciously chasing the taste of you with his tongue and smiling up at you like you're the best thing he's seen all day.
( You kind of are. The rest was also great, but. This is kind of you. ) ]
Hey.
