dappledleaves | THE WORLD: PSL LIFE

Geez.

[Sinclair nuzzles a little, breathing in Oria's scent happily. He likes Oria's scent; it's comforting, especially now that the hoodie he took from Oria no longer smelt like him.]

...you know, that was probably the more surprising thing I learned about you. You have a really standard sleep cycle even though you've been involved in all these business dealings since you were a kid.

[Sinclair had tendencies to want to push until later...]

Having a good amount of sleep is important for a variety of reasons, but the most important thing is keeping myself stable, and I can't do that if I'm irritated by sleeping too much or being out of it if I lack sleep. I do a lot to keep myself healthy and it helps me pace myself.

[ The time in Fragment was wild, because he lost track of his internal biological clock and all the mental interference was quite something. He's so glad to be back in control over his own body. ]

That's why whenever I hire people, I'll never let them forsake rest or force overtime as long as they bring good results. People need a work-life balance.

[Oh...he probably shouldn't let Oria know about how many times he's stayed up all night working on something. Oria probably already has an idea but...

Sinclair looks up at Oria a little fondly and gives him a little cheek kiss]

Mm. So this is your work-life balance?

Yeah. It's been pretty great for several years, so I don't see it changing. Being in university will probably alter it a little, but I'm not going to compromise on activities that's meant to keep my health in check.

[ He sure figured it out when he was "asking" for Sinclair's PTO to his company. Don't worry about it. It's the same method he used to find out everyone's real names and addresses to gather them for the reunion party. ]

[Sssh. Sinclair isn't a workaholic...he's just anxious about leaving work done poorly (and saying no).]

Mm. I'm glad. [Nuzzling back in] Otherwise we'd have even less time together.

[ If Oria was more unreasonable, he'd be jealous of his anxiety from how much it seems to be clinging on him. Shoo!! ]

I'll definitely make time at least once a month. I really wanted to do once a week, but I remembered that you travel a lot and I have to go to places too. That would definitely be difficult to schedule around.

Mm. It's a pain. [Sinclair wants to see Oria more than once a month? Ugh...He frowns a little, thinking, fidgeting a little with his tassel earring]

...well, with my schedule, it wouldn't be too bad to ask for several days off at a time.

[If Oria could work with that...]

You pretty much used up all your PTO for the year, haven't you?

[ That's Fragment's fault, but still. ]

I practically had to force it so that you could come to the party.

Ugh. Even though that wasn't even my choice....[Thanks, Fragment. Sinclair blinks and looks at Oria in surprise.]

...so that was your doing too.

Look... if I could do it for others and even for schools in foreign countries, I can definitely do it for you too.

[ Oria huffs, a little pouty. ]

Yeah, but my company is weird and we all know it.

[Sinclair laughs at Oria's expression and leans in to kiss him again]

But thanks. Really.

[ Oria was about to say something, but then he's kissed. After the kiss is done, he huffs again. ]

This is the bare minimum that I should be doing. But you're welcome.

[ huff huff his mild tsun is showing............ ]

Mm. Is that so?

[That tsun is so cute... Sinclair grins and kisses him again]

[ Sinclair the kissing fiend... Oria returns the kiss too, but makes it short. It makes him wonder if Sinclair wants to make out on the bed. The position is pretty presumptuous enough. ]

Yeah, it is so, Emil Sinclair.

[ He says it in some haughty, valley girl tone and laughs anyway. ]

What is that voice?

[ Sinclair can't keep a straight face when Oria does that. And any plans for kissing are pretty much forgotten now, oops]

A voice made to help you laugh!

[ Oria gives him many little cheek kisses. ]

Because I love seeing you laugh and smile.

Hey--

[aaaaaa another attack of cheek kisses. He can't help but laugh a little more for that. Oria was sappy...]

Mm. I love you so much.

I love you too! I love you so, so much.

[ He laughs too. ]

... I can't wait to see how the designs will come out for the earrings.

[He'll return those cheek kisses. His turn]

Mm. It might take a bit, but I'll make sure to come up with something that suits both of us.

I know I won't be disappointed.

[ Ahh, kissing fiend strikes again. Oria tries to lightly smush Sinclair's cheeks. ]

Ah, why...? [Sinclair squirms a little. Leave his cheeks alone or he'll go after Oria's too. Mooshing Oria's face in turn? He's on Oria's lap how badly can this go]

Because I know you'll want it to the best you can make it, and that's all I need.

[ They'll tip over if Sinclair pushes Oria while mooshing his face... but for now, it's just mutual mooshing. ]

But you always go for my cheeks...[They aren't that soft anymore. Maybe. Mooshing some more. He'll be good and not tackle Oria or anything like it]

[ Oria laughs even through the mooshing of his cheeks. His arms fall back down and goes to wrap around Sinclair's torso, but falls back so that his own hands meet at Sinclair's lower back. ]

Because you're so cute.

[Sinclair wrinkles his nose a little and bumps their foreheads together. No more cheek mooshing. Just cuddling now]

Uhuh...
