Date: 2019-10-31 02:09 am (UTC)"That you do," he agreed, snuggling in close and holding Atlas gently.
"Was this what you expected?"
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 02:15 am (UTC)"I'm not certain i had expectations. I was aware of what the act involved, I've indulged in certain materials after all, but it was very enjoyable," Atlas assured him. "...Was it enough for you? Are you satisfied?"
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 02:22 am (UTC)"More than," he nodded. "I've been thinking about this for quite some time now."
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 02:31 am (UTC)"You have? I wasn't aware," the droid said, looking concerned. "I should have noticed, I'm meant to observe and identify your needs."
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 02:49 am (UTC)"Well, I'd like to think I was playing it cool," John confessed.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 02:54 am (UTC)"Oh, you were aiming for deception?" Atlas asked.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:03 am (UTC)"Not deception. Just...I wanted to wait .for you to come round. I wanted this to be an idea of your own choosing."
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:11 am (UTC)"Oh, I see," Atlas replied. "I'm sorry it took me so long then."
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:39 am (UTC)John laughed softly and shook his head.
"I don't think it was long of a wait at all," he assured him.

Date: 2019-10-31 03:44 am (UTC)"Oh. ...And should I report this to Easther?" he asked quietly.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:47 am (UTC)"You can if you like," he said. "There's nothing wrong about it."
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:49 am (UTC)"What if she doesn't approve?" Atlas whispered. "What if they separate us?"
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:52 am (UTC)"Then we can still see each other. This doesn't have to be contingent on work," he replied.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 03:57 am (UTC)"But I don't want that. I don't want us to not work together. I know I protest doing police work, but I value our partnership," Atlas insisted.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 04:01 am (UTC)"Then make that clear when you tell her," he said, reaching up to stroke Atlas's cheek.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 04:04 am (UTC)"Okay, I believe I can do that," Atlas replied, appearing to think and then moving closer, slipping an arm around the other man.

Date: 2019-10-31 04:07 am (UTC)John gladly held him in return, pressing a kiss to his lips.
"How do you feel?" John asked then.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 04:16 am (UTC)"Happy," Atlas replied easily. "I feel good here with you. Safe, cared for, important. I like those things. ...How do you feel, John?"
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 04:25 am (UTC)"I haven't felt so alive in a very long time. Happy doesnt seem like a big enough word," he replied.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 04:29 am (UTC)"I'm glad," Atlas beamed. "All I've wanted to do since we met is help you- And not just because it's what my program demands. Pleasing you brings me joy, John."
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 10:45 pm (UTC)"Really?" he asked with a quizzical smile. "I want to find out all the things that bring you joy. I want to make your life better. Not that it's bad. Just...better.'

Date: 2019-10-31 11:00 pm (UTC)"That's very kind and thoughtful," Atlas smiled. "Thank you."
no subject
Date: 2019-11-04 03:26 am (UTC)"I think we could both use some sleep," John suggested gently. "We can talk about this more after you see Easther tomorrow, hmm?"
no subject
Date: 2019-11-04 03:28 am (UTC)Atlas nodded, falling silent and squirming closer.
"Good night, John."
