[Carlos/Gael] Office Hours

[fistandbone]

Ty had run off to fight dinosaurs at the edge of the Deck - or check on odd reports at the Outposts, one or the other - and Carlos was, as usual, half-convinced it was all a ploy to avoid paperwork. He didn't understand that, really; paperwork was just a matter of reading, signing and foisting it off on Krista, the Four who was trying to be a guard but right now was mostly an assistant in a uniform. The real challenge when sitting in for Ty Kagan, he always thought, was dealing with the other Suits. The Hearts were fine; the Diamonds just required patience, but the Spades?

Maybe it was because Esteban was old enough to be his father, really, he thought as he propped his boots up on Ty's desk and aimed a bland stare at the wall in front of him as the the Spade captain muttered a stream of Spanish in his ear.

"You know, I can speak that too," Carlos said it the same language, affecting a bore tone even as he aimed darts at the board in front of him with what was probably unwarranted force. "It doesn't really change that I need you to send me the report. I'm not asking for blood, here." Might be easier to get, though, he thought as flung a dart towards the target and the door opened to the right. He glanced up, expecting Krista, and blinked when it was...not.

"Hasta Luego, Esteban," he said before he hung up the phone and smirked a bit at Gael. "What, are you here to report a crime?"

"Yes," he said, rolling up to his side to look at Carlos as he smiled- smiled, not smirk. Carlos was so terribly easy to be around, he thought as he looked at the other man. Tender and kind when needed, hard and strong when he wanted it. "I would miss you, chéri. You make my day a little better." Not that he wanted anyone to read into.

He reached out though, and pulled Carlos back toward him, rolling them both back to the bed. He pulled Carlos back down, half on top of him. "I really would like you to keep going. Even if it is very, very dangerous to let you do so."

Dangerous, he thought, because he was growing to be very fond of Carlos.

Carlos kissed Gaël again as he rolled back on top of him, deeper and slow in contrast to the urgent demand that had defined the first time. "You make my day better too, cariño," he murmured. Gaël might not want to read into that, and Carlos was certainly trying not to read anything into Gaël's words - but he knew he was getting more than just fond, and that the crush he'd had as a teenager was probably not helping things any.

"And thanks to your show we've got all afternoon," he said as he pulled back, skimming his hand down Gaël's side to curve around his hip. His lips twitched up into a mischievous smile. "Unless you've got other places to be."

"I'm not planning to go anywhere any time soon." Gael said with a smile and a laugh against Carlos' lips as he wrapped his arms around Carlos' shoulders again. He certainly wasn't going to object to Carlos monopolizing his time for the rest of the afternoon and night as it were- he'd come to the man with that express intention in the first place.
