Ah... [Edward needs a second, after that, just to... remember how to words? He can't quite stop himself from smiling or blushing.] About three more hours... [...No, seriously, when is he going to sleep.]

[agoodname]

[awww look at that blush. He's so easy to please.] Three more hours? [he frowns a bit, reaching out to tuck some hair behind Edward's ear, touch lingering] Eddie, when are you going to sleep?

[enigmaster]

[There's a slight shiver at that touch and... oh god did he just call him Eddie?] Oh, um. [Right, right, the question.] I don't know, I can... squeeze in a little bit of time after my next shift at the GCPD... [buddy]

[agoodname]

[that frown is deepening] Forgive me if I'm mistaken but...I was under the impression that people need to sleep. [there's a bit of dryness to his tone]

[enigmaster]

Generally. Although technically one can live just fine missing a few days of sleep. [IT'S? FINE????]

[agoodname]

True, but it's not so good if one does it often...[he trails off a bit, still looking concerned. or at least the veneer of it]

[enigmaster]

...Mhm. [Yeah guess who does it often.] I, um... I'll be fine, really. You don't need to worry or anything...

[agoodname]

Of course I'm going to worry, Edward. I don't want you to get sick or anything. [he's going to lay his hand over his, fingers curling to hold it]

[enigmaster]

Oh. [oh god oswald is holding his hand? and worrying about him? that's... new. that's new, what does he do with that...] I... I appreciate the concern. Though I can't really do much about it. I can't exactly afford to ditch my shift.

[agoodname]

No...No, of course not. [he squeezes his hand, gently] But...maybe I can bring you thinks in-between? When you're here? Just to keep your strength up.

[enigmaster]

You... You don't have to do that. I mean, really, I'll be fine, you don't have to go out of your way to do anything like that--

[agoodname]

Edward.

[enigmaster]

Ah... [...was he rambling again]

[agoodname]

Let me? Please? [he brushes his thumb across his knuckles] I don't want to crowd you or hinder your ambitions in any way, obviously, but...if you'd allow me this small thing, I'd like to do it.

[enigmaster]

[...what the hell that's really sweet?] Oh. Um... Okay, then, I suppose.

[agoodname]

[something in Oswald's expression relaxes, and he smiles] Thank you.

[enigmaster]

...No... problem? [hhhhhwhat] I think it's probably more appropriate for me to be the one to say thank you...

[agoodname]

Well, if you wish, I won't say no~ [flirty again, and he brushes his thumb against the inside of Edward's wrist, right against his pulse point]

[enigmaster]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh] ...Then... Thank you, Oswald. Really.

[agoodname]

[he'll lift his hand so he can kiss his knuckles, then] It's my pleasure, Edward. Truly.

[enigmaster]

Ah... right. I'm... glad.

[agoodname]

As am I~ [really, it's almost too easy. He lowers their hands, though he keeps a hold of Edward's] So, what are you working on at your other job? [he tilts his head a bit] Or is that classified?

[enigmaster]

[Maybe Edward will kind of... hold Oswald's hand back, a little?] Oh, I... well, most of the details are, technically. But at the moment I'm not focusing on cases so much and more upgrading and updating all the systems.

[agoodname]

[Cute :> awww, he feels safe around Oswald. How funny.] Oh? Is it really that outdated?

[enigmaster]

Oh, very. I mean, I don't think anyone's ever updated them, so I'm basically having to redo a bunch of the code from scratch. I don't mind it, though. The work itself, anyway. It's fun.
