[It was incredibly satisfying to watch Sterling clambering up the needle filled tree just to put that a star on top. So satisfying that Eliot didn't even bother hiding his smirk as he agent grumbled the whole way up.

He greeted Sterling's return with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face.]

Yeah, [He answered, in a much better mood than moments before. Seeing Sterling covered in pine needles helped, so did the chance of sticking one to Sterling, quite literally, as he passed by and poked one of the needles further into him.] Haha, you missed one.

[Snarking away, he went to get the a worker at the tree farm to help them move the tree.]

[[OOC: Like you have no idea! They better fix it, or someone better make a layout override. XD I'll take that solution too if LJ won't stop being an ass. And... Personally I ship Moreau/Eliot, but hey, I take any abrasive Eliot action I can get. The only thing that gets in my way of shipping Eliot with Sterling is my Eliot really wants to punch the lights out of Sterling... so I have no idea how to ship them.]]

[Sterling glared at Eliot's obvious amusement, and there was something rather like a yelp as a pine needle was unexpectedly jabbed into his side. That glare turned sharper, his lips curling in a way that seemed to imply bodily harm, but he took a breath and forced something sort of like a neutral expression to his face. He scowled, watching as one of the workers helped them get the tree over to Eliot's truck.

By the time it was securely mounted to Eliot's truck, Sterling had finally managed to get the last of the needles out, having to take his suit jacket off to get at them all. This was just bollocks, really. He spared a glare for the surrounding pine trees as well, as if this was somehow their fault.]

We have the bloody tree, now let's get the Hell out of here.

[Seriously, if Sterling had to spend too much longer looking at Christmas trees, he was going to turn one of them into firewood.]

[OOC: Oh god this layout needs to go awayyyy. /cry Tbh, I wish there was more shippy possibilities for Sterling, but I quite happily take my fightship. <3 Haha. I started shipping them when during The Zanzibar Market Job me and a friend looked at one another and were all "Just me, or did it almost look like they were going to fuck on that table?" Ahahaha. But, if it doesn't work not going to push it, it's just good fun. And punching is totally allowed. :P I'm also willing to try and scheme up situations where for a job or what-not they have to play nice. They were totally adorable for Queen's Gambit... You know, until Eliot was on the floor and Sterling groped-- Uhm, I mean, what?]

[distinctive_guy]

[Eliot's good mood maintained even after the tree was loaded. He was back behind the wheel of his truck, necessity for loading the tree, and there was no Sterling in the seat beside him. He could still hear the man from his open window though.]

First good thing to come from your mouth all day.

[The hitter briefly considered leaving Sterling behind, but figured that in the end, the satisfaction of a quiet trip back and watching Sterling disappear in his rear-view mirror wouldn't be worth Nate's lecture and Sterling's whining. As much as he seriously, and that was seriously, hated it, they still had to work together for the rest of this job.]

Get in before I leave you here!!

[He drummed his fingers impatiently on the wheel and set the radio to a country rock station as he waited. As soon as Sterling climbed aboard, he scowled and drove.]

[[OOC: I do admit, after Queen's Gambit, I think Sterling's my next favorite person to put paired up with Eliot on screen, after Hardison that is. The man annoys Eliot to no end and an annoyed Eliot is a funny Eliot.]]

Annoying each other is like grade-school flirting, right? :P

[sterlingwins]

[Sterling, despite his less-than-charming nature decided that now was a good time to actually do what Eliot said before the Hitter chose to drive off without him. It seriously would put a crimp in their plans for this job, aside from the fact of Sterling's sure-to-be-insufferable annoyance.

As he got in and Eliot turned on the radio, Sterling lifted an eyebrow, his face carefully displaying disdain for the man's musical tastes as he shut the door of the truck. Of course, he barely had the door shut before Eliot was pulling out onto the dirty road that lead back to cement paving and, eventually, civilization.]

I can't let you leave me behind, and ruin all our lovely quality time together.

[Sterling did try to annoy Eliot of purpose. It was one of the simple pleasures in life: good scotch, a nicely tailored new suit, and pissing off Eliot.]

[OOC: Not entiiiirely sure where to go from here. If you have an idea, I'll gladly follow, or if you wanna jump, feel free, orrr we can always go steal us another meme. ;) ]

So is rough housing. *Snerk*

[distinctive_guy]

[[OOC: Might not be a bad idea to just steal another meme... Or brainstorm a new direction. Or time skip to something else where Eliot can beat up Sterling.

Because if we had to continue, we'll need to plot out how to steal Christmas! XD]]

Hahah, sooo true! :D

[sterlingwins]

[OOC: Works for me, you got a preference for which one? I'm pretty easy, though, something where they can fight sounds perfect. Of course, could always just handwave the details of the job and say everything worked out, and somehow Eliot and Sterling end up alone, Eliot gets punchy, et cetera, et cetera.

Sterling's flexible, heh.]

They need to grow up.

[distinctive_guy]

[[OOC: I'm also open to AUs too if you really want to ship them. I don't think I'll be able to make my normal canon Eliot turn into a Sterling lover without maybe 50 cases in between, but I can do AU ones where they start as lovers or I don't know. Things. Situations.

But I don't think Eliot will ever not get upset in Sterling's presence. The guy just pisses him off.]]

What fun is growing up?

[sterlingwins]

[OOC: AUs can certainly be fun! :) Though, I am sort of a fan of the angriness dynamic too. I love the fighting/bickering, it's just hotter with some sexiness/shippiness too. Haha.

Of course, it's not as if Sterling doesn't seem to try to tick him off, so, it's totally understandable.]

Acting like mature adults for... adulty things?

[distinctive_guy]

[[OOC: I PMed you. ^^;;

There's one thing that I agree wholeheartedly with Sterling... Getting an angry, annoyed Eliot is one of the most enjoyable things around. XD Given, he could also beat him to a bloody pulp.

He's lucky Eliot's now a good guy.]]
