[PUBLIC] Day 42

[dorkypantsuit]

I'll assume no one made my obligatory bring a buddy announcement while I wasn't here, so this is that warning.


Didya miss me?

[LABOR CHANNEL]

Mandatory check-in, whether I know you or not.

If anybody's been slacking tell me and I'll work out a proper punishment.

Comments

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko snorts softly, and leans in to press a quick kiss - barely even a peck, really - to the end of Psi's nose.]

It's alright. You're back now, aren't you?

[That's about the most Ginko could ask for.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[He jolts at the kiss, surprised, before bringing a hand up to rub his nose. He smiles, amused by the gesture.]

Yeah. I am.

[And then, if you don't mind he would like an actual kiss, one on the lips, sir. He leans in to take one, unless Ginko objects, of course.]

Now are you going to show me around this junk-heap or do I have to give myself a tour?

[dontpokethat]

[He definitely doesn't object. Ginko tilts his head a little to accept the kiss, closing his eye just for the moment.

He opens it again when they break contact, and lets out a short laugh.]

Come on. You want to see more of the biodome, or get to the spacesuit rentals and head out?

[dorkypantsuit]

[Still warm from the kiss it's hard to find the energy to care about such a decision. To be honest, he'd be happy just to stand here with Ginko, but that's a stupid thing to say.]

You pick.

I want to see what you think is interesting.

[dontpokethat]

What, you can't guess? [He can't even put any real effort into the mock-offense in his voice. He just starts moving again, pulling Psi toward the nearest rental stall.]

We'll have to be careful, since the wildlife here can be pretty dangerous, but it's not totally un-survivable.

[dorkypantsuit]

[That makes him smile.]

Just like home then.

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko gives a quiet snort - then glances over at Psi, curious and concerned for another moment.] Come to think of it... y'know, if you'd rather not go out there, we don't have to.

[dorkypantsuit]

I want to go. I want to be with you.

[dontpokethat]

[He relaxes a little again at that, a soft smile returning to his face.]

You will be, wherever we end up going.

[He's not intending to go off on his own after all this time, okay.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Yes, but you'll probably enjoy seeing alien life more than just standing around here even if we are doing it together.

[dontpokethat]

I'll enjoy whatever we do, as long as you're here.

[Look, they've been separated for over a month and he's been trying to work around an unfortunate onslaught of feelings for another friend, he's got plenty of pent-up mush going on.]

So, I'll leave it up to you.

[dorkypantsuit]

Well then, first let's see some dangerous alien plantlife.


And then let's go back to my place.

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko sort of laughs - just a huff of air, a twitch of his lips. He leans over to press a quick kiss to Psi's cheek, and starts toward the rental stall again.]

Sure. And if we're lucky, neither of those will turn into a complete disaster.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Psi laughs before following after him.]

Lead the way Jadeblood.
