[TM] I've had enough of travel, I'm ready to be in one place.

Apr 21, 2007 18:43

Eve had been from one coast to the other in a short span of a week, and even that seemed surreal to her. In the days of working for Wolfram and Hart that sort of travel was easier... fast jets... realms of transdimensional travel, and the White Room made jet-lag something of the past. It seemed sort of pedestrian of her to travel through airports ( Read more... )

Joseph was pretty good at a lot of things, but Lit was a big obstacle for him and always had been. He lucked out with a cool professor, but still...sitting at home, stretched out on his sofa, trying to wade through THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE so he could do an evaluation of the primary character...he wanted to shut his fucking head in the door. He couldn't fucking concentrate ( ... )

Eve was bewildered at how horrible Gene Simmons' facelift recovery was going and was in the middle of contemplating calling him up personally to ask him just how insane he was to be taking calls and trying to conduct business only a week after extensive surgery to his face. She knew most of it was staged, it had to be given that she highly doubted that he would actually set up business meetings for "KISS my Sushi" but still... all that did was make her a bit more hungry ( ... )

Joseph simply stood there for a moment in the doorway as she walked away blithely, stripping off her top, and finally smiled fleetingly as he moved into the house and shut the door. "Yeah, you think yer so damn cute...lucky for you, ya are." he grunted, rather than play along as he usually did, setting the food on the table in the foyer as he walked over and wrapped his arms around her, leaning down to kiss her until his own head was spinning ( ... )

She leaned against the arm of the couch watching him move across the room, shooting back a bit of snark at her, "I think I'm cute? Trust me I deal in facts only these days. It's a fact that I'm cute ( ... )

Eve laughed under her breath, "Right.. cause Lindsey knows what *I* went through, while he was in Rome. He..." Eve cut herself off, trying hard to maintain some form of composure as Joe continued on moving toward her on the couch, then walking away again. She listened biting her tongue more than a few times ( ... )

Ultimately, the story mattered little to Joseph when he saw the tears that stood in her eyes. When she moved towards him, he wasted no time in wrapping his arms around her, tucking her head against his chest as he bent to press a kiss to the top of her head ( ... )

Eve smiled, burying her head against his chest, a slight laugh slipping free for a moment. She wasn't sure if he had the same sort of understanding that the man that he was pissed at wasn't the man that hurt her. She couldn't shove them into the same category, not in the least, she could barely think of them as ever being the same man, given the situations that she had been in with both of them ( ... )

"Yeah...a few hundred, and all of 'em IQ." he snorted, cradling her cheek and swiping his thumb under her eye to make sure there were no signs of a tear that might have escaped. Leaning in, he kissed her eyelids softly, holding her just a little bit tighter. Yeah, he was probably being stubborn, and he hated that he'd upset her...but facts were facts as he saw them, and he couldn't change that ( ... )

Joseph snorted at her remark, turning around slowly and raking his hair out of his eyes. The water still damp on his hands let him slick it away, at least until it dried. Moving over to accept the drink gratefully, he rested his forehead against hers for a moment in silent thanks befor etaking a sip.

When he'd taken a couple of small swallows, he sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. "While you were out of town. Boscoe screwed me over...sent me for a demidemon with Belkis Blood. I'm almost outta the woods, though...first time I've puked in a day or two." He paused, blinking. "Least I think so. I been stuck with my head in the toilet so often the last friggin' week it's hard to remember."

Eve sighed, Boscoe always was an ass, and that was usually on his good days. She hated dealing with him, and when she was in Human Resources she had to deal with all the various complaints against him. Of course the problem was that the sort of thing that Boscoe did... never got him in trouble. It got him raises, and different tasks to do. He was cutthroat and the firm loved it. Now however he'd fucked up, and messed with Joe. No doubt the guy had a bit of a headache from any injuries that had been inflicted upon him.

Her hands went to behind his neck, locking her fingers as his forehead pressed to hers, "So trying to keep this from me was for what? To spare me from the puking? Cause so didn't succeed on that one." Her hands shifted against his neck, threading through his hair a bit, "So how about we forget the food for now, I go pack it all up and instead you crash on the couch with a bucket near your head something action in the DVD player and me along your back?"

Joseph leaned into the contact, shutting his eyes with a sigh. "You worry." he pointed out, opening them again. "I didn't want ya to...not after the whole deal in Chicago...you've earned the right to some worry-free time, y'know?"

When she mentioned a scenario where she was essentially playing girlfriend/nursemaid to him, he couldn't help but sigh...damn it, the whole thing warmed him in ways that nothing ever had, but it also made him cringe just a little. He just...wasn't used to being fussed over.

"How 'bout you forget I'm puking up poison," he countered, wrapping his arms around her waist, "pack up *most* of the food while we pop in that DVD and you nibble downwind, *then* curl up along my back?"

Eve was thankful that he was that concerned about her worry status, but didn't like the idea of him protecting her from things that were harmful to himself. Pulling back from him and pressing up on her tip toes she kissed his forehead gently, "So I worry, it's not the end of the world this time at least. Just," Eve met his eyes with a hopeful quality, "Don't try to protect me from things like this. I've worked at that firm before, I know how underhanded things can get. I don't want you thinking that you have to shelter me from some storm. I can take it Joe, I can handle the worry ( ... )
