decaying winter Perk And Other Ideas

present: love is its own language. (mini story)

Soken and Mutes relationship has recently stepped forward, they're officially dating, it's not that they weren't making moves on eachother before but they made it official.

And with more medics being hired soken has more freetime, now reserved for when all other medics are busy or the injuries are too severe for most medics to properly aid.

CHELLS BAR.

Chell:"V you need to be 18 to drink here"

HV, spinning on the stool, stops and points at Chell resting his head in his palm responded: "hah, you failed to realize I'm a week away from being 18"

Chell doesn't even look up from what she's doing "you need to be 18 officially V"

HV doesn't seem to care as he returns to spinning the stool.

Mute and Soken enter.

Soken:"Hey Chell!"

Chell:"Hey you two, so it's official now?"

Soken:"yep, I don't get why Mute had an issue with it being known but seems like he's okay with it now"

Chell:"well, can I get you anything? Or do you just need the counter for privacy?"

Mute signed:"I think I'll just have the usual"

Chell:"ah.. sorry Mute I'm still working on learning sign language"

Soken:"no worries, he's having the usual, same with me"

HV wondered: Officially? Officially what? Wait... oh they're dating.

Soken:"so Mute, you know how last time we were in the firing range you accidentally loaded shotshells into a sawed off?"

Mute nodded

Soken:"and you also remember our positions when we fell over?"

Mute hesitated to nod for a second.

Soken leaned close "this time, intentionally in those positions, in our quarters, possibly without clothing"

Mute quickly looked away silently laughing and also hiding his face in embarrassment.

Chell:"well that didn't take long" chell passed them they're drinks.

Soken:"we were unofficially dating for almost a year, I know his weaknesses"

Chell:"something tells me he's going to need more than one drink"

Mute signed:"I also know much about you Soken"

Soken:"Oh yeah?"

Mute (he's always using sign language I'm tired of saying it)

Mute:"I know you don't just like your ears getting attention"

Soken:"Alright were getting into real private information there"

Mute laughed again.

SOKENS QUARTERS.

If one were to enter the room, they would see Soken and mute asleep, one atop the other, exhausted from last night's events. But that would also be rude get out.

Ironically, throughout their whole relationship, they never had a real kiss, they had short ones but never committed for varying reasons like work or being in public, how fitting the moment they officially date they have their first kiss.

Oh and their first time together in bed but like, that's less surprising.

Mute made a mental note to accidently load shotshells into shotguns occasionally.
