          snowball purrs on his chest as he lays on the couch in his office.  it's as much a home as his shitty little apartment;  more nights spent in this little room than in his own bed.  he cancelled every appointment and yelled away any drop-ins during the day to do what he does best:  obsess over the one thing that both holds him together and unravels him.  naomi runs his hand over the cat's head,  sighing when she meows in his face and bounds away.  logically,  he knows he should pull himself up,  do something,  at least make it home,  but that would take admitting he doesn't know what comes next.  he watches snowball step through a mess of papers and photographs and sticky notes littering the floor like she's playing a game of the floor is lava.  she meows,  loud and obnoxious at a dark shadow in the corner of the room.

"i thought i'd find you here . get up ."      —     batman

          "oh,  fuck off."     naomi rubs the heels of his palm against his eyes.  "since when do you do house calls?"     not his house.  work.  this is work.  he's never had a good separation between work and home,  but back then,  that had been expected.  he scowls at @waynepire and decidedly does not get up,  dead weight on worn out cushions.     "i'm busy.  i'm sure you people-saving to do."

          cue a grin that could rival the sun;  praise for what she has passion for goes straight to her head.     "thanks.  we kinda rock every night,  but the crowd here was awesome.  y'know if this venue is booked next weekend?"

          a nod,  and they gesture to the front with their half-full can.     "mhm.  got some food too.  lots of leftovers if you wanna take some home."     they squint at him,  assessing what could be his snack of choice.

          "sunchips or doritos?  got a couple bags of each.  and some sandwiches.  c'mon,  those cables aren't goin' anywhere."

"yeah."

he watches the shows or he's afraid of the trouble? he just knows it won't be her fault, not ever, because it will be cassius stop screwing around you've been messing around being late all week already.

but it doesn't stop him from taking his sweet time lassoing his arms with things not plugged into other things.

"you guys rocked tonight." pointing to her drink and straw, "you got that backstage? are there any more?"

[justsurvival]

          "they're people too?"     he echoes with a thick layer of disbelief.     "they're chickens."     aleksije blinks as his vision is consumed by what is admittedly a very adorable chick.  the idea of being around these little creatures for any amount of time is a nightmare.  he supposes he sees the appeal,  at least when it involves andromeda     (please ignore that he could see the appeal in just about anything if andromeda is with him),  but outside of that... what was there to a baby chicken?  andromeda's eyes are a glittering brown in the sunlight and her smile holds a light of its own as she asks if he'd like to hold it  —  is he supposed to say no?     "sure."     hesitantly,  he taps the chick on its fuzzy little head and draws his finger back just as fast.  once pleased that the animal won't bite him     (yet)     he holds out both hands together,  palms up to receive it.

🌿                      the  chick  is  plucked  from  a  mass  of  feathers  and  held  in  her  cupped  palms.                “  ‘course  i  do.    they’re  people  too,  ”                  she  declares,    as  if  to  say  duh.    she  holds  the  chick  up  to  be  face  level  with  aleksije  for  his  appraisal.                  “  it’s  only  hard  t’keep  track  of  ‘em  when  they  start  runnin’ all over.    it’s  like  a  big,    fuzzy  tornado.    only  the  occasional  pecking. ”                the  dismayed  glint in her eyes  begs  otherwise,    as  if  the  word  occasional  is  a  last  minute  lie  -  dampener  and  little,    untamed  and  very  sharp  beaks  have turned out to be  hellish.    she  perks  again  with  an  idea  :                “  you  wanna  hold  him  ?  ”

          cassian mumbles a thank you under his breath and staggers inside,  one arm held around his torso like it was the only thing keeping him together.  he can't tell how serious zeus is with the threat,  but he decides that he's uninterested in finding out.  carefully,  he avoids stepping over anything that can stain as he lumbers into the familiar kitchen.  he drags a chair out and takes a seat,  face screwing up in pain as the action pulls on his muscles.     "for what it's worth,"     he starts once zeus comes back into view,     "i'm sorry for what happened,  and i'm grateful that you're not mad enough to leave me out to die."     a tad dramatic,  but he's lost enough blood that theatrics are all that's left in him.

zeus stood frozen, one hand on the door, the other on the doorway. it blocked cassian's view of his apartment, yes, but it also made it quite easy for him to slam the door on the hero's face if needed. which zeus almost did. he considered it thouroughly, and the only thing that kept zeus from shutting the door and leaving cassian to freeze in the street was the blood. "get in." he said finally, stepping away from the doorway. "i have a gun and i will use it if you bleed on my rug. go sit down in the kitchen, i'll find the first aid kit."

          the soles of her boots are sticky as she follows behind cassius,  sipping on a diet coke through a paper straw.  true that she has no business being here after their set.  their bandmates left to celebrate a while ago and jester is,  for once,  not in the mood to be around too many people – but being completely alone isn't preferable.

“we could,”     she agrees with some incredulity.     “you scared of trouble?  ‘cause i’m not – blame anything on me if you gotta.  do you watch the shows?”

@justsurvival

in the darkness of the venue fter hours, before the doors are locked up but after the spilled-beer floor is mopped, cassius is coiling wires in a plastic box in the back with the seats.

"you should go or we both could get in trouble."

[justsurvival]

          "i am a physician..."     he chooses his words carefully,  eyes narrowing in question.  where was he being led with this?  shion did his due diligence in rotations during residency,  but it's been a while since.     "my patients tend to be already on the other side.  you hurt?  emergency room isn't far."

@justsurvival ( shion ! )

" you're basically a doctor right? "
