“I don’t think we’d be in the position we’re in if we didn’t all have similar thoughts on this,” Lucci is saying, sounding mildly bored with the conversation (well, Kaku can tell he’s mildly bored; most people wouldn’t hear a difference from his normal tone).
“It’s necessity,” Kalifa puts in. “Obviously our jobs take precedence over our personal lives.”
And yes, he knows that she may play up her sexuality to get them ahead on missions, but he can’t remember ever seeing her in an actual relationship. Most probably she’s never had one, much like the rest of them.
Well, some of the rest of them.
“Hey, Gyatherine and I are happy…”
“Which is why she’s broken up with you again…” Lucci starts.
“SHUT UP, I’LL KILL YOU!” Jyabura shouts and there are the unmistakeable sounds of a tussle while Kaku pulls a pillow over his ears and tries to ignore the cacophony from the next room.
“And what about you?” Kalifa asks slyly. “Any man who’s as stoic as you are must find release somewhere, and you can’t just kill whenever you feel like it.”
“C’mon, you think ‘ol Robbie’s ever had anybody in his bed? He’d scare them off!” Jyabura cackles and Kaku promptly ignores the rest of the conversation until the door opens and Lucci slips back into the room, padding silently across the floor.
“Forever alone, are we?” Kaku cracks an eye open and chuckles as Lucci gives him a glare. “I don’t mind. I’d rather Jyabura not know about our…affair.”
“ ‘Affair’ implies something illicit and short-lived,” Lucci retorts bluntly.
“And this is neither?”
Lucci lays a hand on his tousled hair but doesn’t answer, and Kaku figures that this is as romantic as they’ll ever get.
And honestly? He doesn’t mind that at all.
