the punchline to the joke is asking "someone save us"

[traumatizing]

STILL HERE, HUH?

Looks like you're still on Tera. By choice, or maybe you missed your chance to get home. Doesn't matter really, you're here now and you gotta deal with the fallout one way or another. Here's hoping that works out for you.

[Maxxie's expression doesn't change.]

Are you sure?

[traumatizing]

I'm never gonna hold that against you.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie sighs and brings his hand up to Terry's face again.]

Okay.

[He falls quiet for a moment.]

So you feel better?

[traumatizing]

I mean, other than how much I wanna go back to sleep.

[He offers up a tired smile. He'll be fine after about 7 coffees.]

[notahobby]

I hate to say it, but maybe we should get out of bed.

[Coffee sounds good.]

[traumatizing]

No.

[He flops back down dramatically]

I don't want to.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie smooths down Terry's hair, laughing softly.]

Come on, I know you want coffee.

[traumatizing]

I always want coffee.

[Said directly into a pillow.]

[notahobby]

Well don't make me go do it alone. You know I never do it exactly the way you like it.

[traumatizing]

[There's a distinct 'ugh' from where his face is smushed into the pillow before Terry rolls out of bed with a groan of complaint, tiredly padding toward the kitchen and picking up miscellaneous cups and mugs on his way to put them by the sink for dealing with when he's more conscious.]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie follows behind, finding (or making) a clear spot on Terry's counter where he can sit down and watch the magic happen. He's just enjoying being around Terry right now, watching him move around and just exist in this world. It's a little bit beautiful.]

[traumatizing]

[Terry is a dab hand at the coffee machine by now, and he puts it all on quickly enough and lays out a pair of clean mugs for it too. Immediately moving between Maxxie's legs to rest his head on his chest and wrap his arms around him while it does its thing.]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie wraps his arms around Terry too, letting his hands rest at the small of Terry's back and kissing the top of his head.]

[traumatizing]

I missed this.

[Terry sighs happily, nuzzling a little into Maxxie's chest.]

I missed these arms.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie laughs softly.]

Well you can see 'em all you want now.

[He'll even flex on demand.]

[traumatizing]

I just want them to hold me.

[all the time. forever.]

[notahobby]

What, you don't want some of this?

[He lifts one arm to flex a bicep for Terry's viewing pleasure.]

[traumatizing]

[Terry snorts and laughs a little, shaking his head.]

That's good too.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie puts his arm back around Terry.]

There's more where that came from. I've got muscles all over the place.

[traumatizing]

I like them all.

[He's about to say that they make him feel safe, but instead he looks up at Maxxie with a raised eyebrow and a tired smirk.]

Real good for carrying stuff.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie gently rolls his eyes and grins.]

Is that what I am to you?

[He's teasing.]

[traumatizing]

That's why I got a boyfriend.

[He grins cheekily up at Maxxie.]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie laughs and leans down for a kiss. What a good man he has.]

[traumatizing]

[Terry leans up into the kiss, beyond happy with this right now]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie hums happily, pulling Terry's shirt up so he can put his hand on the small of Terry's back. Yes he's getting a little frisky he wants some skin on skin action what of it.]
