[Nightlight]

[seeagreatergood]

Another day, another dollar, another drug lord deposed as he got off the boat from Central America. As ops go, this one went about as smoothly as you could ask for: sure, the boat was an hour and a half late, and sure there were some shots fired, but nobody died.

Auggie finally gets off work around nine -- practically early -- and heads down to the locker room to shower the stress away.

And gets the bar, instead.

Well, a beer is almost as good as a shower. He sweeps his laser cane over the floor once to check for waitrats, then heads towards the counter to order a drink.

"Just don't burn out on it."

[toblameforit]

Laughing, he snuggles closer. "I won't, I promise."

[seeagreatergood]

"Glad to hear it."

[toblameforit]

He leans up and kisses Auggie's cheek.

[seeagreatergood]

Auggie quirks a smile.

"Am I getting too parental?"

[toblameforit]

—He laughs. "God, how would I even tell?"

[seeagreatergood]

"Usually it's the sudden urge to yell 'you're not the boss of me' and get a tattoo, for me."

[toblameforit]

"...I love you," Tony declares, giggling.

[seeagreatergood]

"Do you want to get a tattoo as a symbol of rebellion?"

[toblameforit]

"Why would I do that," he says between giggles. "One, I don't want a tattoo, two, you have a tattoo, three, how would you tell. I cannot actually think of a more pointless rebellion."

[seeagreatergood]

Auggie bursts out laughing.

[toblameforit]

Breathless with laughter: "I love you, man."

[seeagreatergood]

"If you ever do get a tattoo, let me just suggest you get it somewhere that's not between your shoulder blades. The itching'll drive you nuts."

[toblameforit]

"Okay, duly noted."

[seeagreatergood]

Auggie laughs and kisses his temple.

[toblameforit]

He beams and snuggles up again, the gigglefit having disturbed optimal cuddle configuration.

[seeagreatergood]

You know, Auggie never thought of himself as a cuddle fiend before meeting these two.

[toblameforit]

The boys will tend to have that effect!
