I know, but it was very tempting either way at the time.

[ Cute... Oria is very endeared. ]

Wanna go get something to eat? Though, by now there's only fast food stuff open.

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-17 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm starving!

[ Now that they're inside the car... ]

Anything you won't eat?

[ Mister picky eater. ]

Squid in fast food...

[ Oria looks at Sinclair. ]

Did you have a bad experience with one?

[ But off they go. ]

Squid pizza?

[ Sounds like a delicacy. ]

But it's fine. We're just gonna get burgers or chicken nuggets—that sort of thing. I imagine you'll be eating a bunch of seafood if you're gonna be out there for weeks.

[ Here's hoping Sinclair doesn't get scurvy from lack of fruits. ]

[ Oria pulls up in a drive-thru because he doesn't feel like dealing with more people than he has to. He orders two burgers and a strawberry shake himself and whatever Sinclair wants to eat.

After that, he doesn't park in the fast food lot. Instead, Oria drives around until they get to a place under a big bridge. It's very tall, so there's a lot of space. The stars are hard to see with the light pollution, but it's a peaceful area.

Then Oria finally eats his food after parking here.

Yeah.

[ His minimum sustenance... though Sinclair notices well. Even now, Oria eats slowly, which is translated to the average person's eating speed. Sinclair can actually see when the food is bitten off and goes into Oria's mouth, followed up with chewing. The car windows are down too, so that they can enjoy the outside air. He eats in silence for a while. ]

It's sometimes nice... to take in the comfortable silence where I feel so insignificant compared to everything.

[ The river before them, the cars passing on the bridge above, the occasional bystander walking to and from on the bridge and the road way off in the distance... the vast night sky. ]

On some days, I wish I can be unimportant as a whole, but only important to the people who matter to me.

[ It's quite the generous thought to think Oria could be anything, because in the end, he says this: ]

It's what I was made for.

[ What he was born for--altered to make him fit the mold of what he should have been. ]

My entire life: what I was taught, what I experienced, what I learned, the way I do things... was for this. And by the time I realized I wanted to do something different, it was already too late. I was already in so deep in that my entire life became a sunk cost fallacy if I were to do anything else.

[ He momentarily squeezes Sinclair's hand. ]

So, since I already have a lot of things laid out for me, it's just a matter of getting them done and when they'll be done. Everything else, I'll cling onto whatever agency I have left.

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-18 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I know you will.

[ As much as his circumstances would allow, anyway. If Sinclair can't be with him for whatever reason, Oria can't blame him because he knows that Sinclair would want to be with him. ]

That's why I can relax, knowing that I'll always have something to come back to. Honestly, I should just kidnap you so that you can live with me forever.

[ He's joking, right? Probably. Maybe. ]

Yes, even if you're going away for weeks on your boat trip.

You'll have all your books in the Kindle, so you'll be fine! I bet a conversation with some of your coworkers is absolutely riveting... in different ways.

[ lol ]

You'll be fine. I'll be fine. We'll be fine.

[ He took off the seat belt after he parked, so he leans in to give Sinclair a small kiss. ]
dissimulative: (pic#15273326)

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-18 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
It goes without saying that I'll miss you too—so, so much.

[ He gives Sinclair another short kiss. ]

I wish I could write letters to you.

I know military ships actually have a postal address even when they're in the middle of the ocean. It takes forever, but it gets sent.

[ Random trivia of the day, he supposes. How he wants to kiss Sinclair all over his face and tell him how much he loves him... he can't exactly do that in the car. ]

Should I drive us back?

[ He buckles up and smoothly drives to the Severine estate. The trash is put into the bins upon leaving the car, and Oria works on filling up Sinclair's Kindle with the book list and many more once they get to the room. The process doesn't take long as Oria leaves the cord in so that it can download everything that was listed.

After that, he goes to tackle Sinclair onto the bed.

[ Oria laughs a little, cuddling Sinclair from the side. ]

Hello, my sweet~ I love you soooo much.

[ Now Oria gets to do what he couldn't before in the car: kissing all over Sinclair's face. ]
