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.

[Terry snorts in amusement.]

Or the time I got distracted looking in a music shop meant I secretly couldn't stand you.

[He pauses thoughtfully and then frowns.]

A lot of them were like that, actually.

[notahobby]

Couldn't stand us being happy I guess.

[He shrugs and goes back for another bite of food.]

We're good together though.

[traumatizing]

Someone has to balance out all my depressing melodrama.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie laughs and knocks him gently with his foot.]

Guess I need someone to keep me tethered to the earth sometimes too.

[traumatizing]

That's me, the ol' ball and chain. Weighing you down so you don't float away.

[He's (mostly) joking, and he says it all with an amused smile on his face.]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie wriggles in a little closer with another laugh.]

You're the cutest ball and chain I've ever seen.

[traumatizing]

[Terry laughs too and shakes his head.]

That's gross.

[notahobby]

Guess we're super gross then. 'Cause I'm adorable and you're adorable and we're adorable together.

[traumatizing]

Now I see why the tabloids hate us.

[He wrinkles his nose in mock disgust, but it's hard to pull off when he's still wearing Maxxie's cardigan.]

[notahobby]

Yeah.

[He nods emphatically.]

They're just jealous.

[traumatizing]

I'd be jealous of me.

[200% serious as he takes a bite of a spring roll and cuddles in a little closer.]

[notahobby]

Well, you do get to have sex with all this.

[He gestures to himself right before he stuffs way too many noodles into his mouth.]

[traumatizing]

Mmhm.

[Terry smiles fondly.]


You're so hot right now.

[notahobby]

Mm.

[He's speaking with his mouth open now. Someone stop him he's disgusting.]

You thinkin' round two after this?

[traumatizing]

[Terry snorts.]

You know nothing turns me on like a mouthful of half-chewed noodles.

[notahobby]

[Maxxie has to struggle not to accidentally spit out any of his noodles as he laughs, covering his face so he can get back to being not-unattractive.]

[traumatizing]

[Terry smiles and puts his plate down so he can curl up a bit more, making himself as small as possible to fit in Maxxie's space without jostling or making it difficult for him to eat.]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie accommodates him happily, just taking a few more slow bites before he puts his own plate down and cuddles up.]

I am still a bit horny, honestly. It's been so long I probably won't stop for a few days at least.

[He says this just as a statement of fact, though there is a soft bit of suggestion in there too.]

[traumatizing]

Guess I've got a busy couple of days ahead of me.

[He reaches for his beer and frowns at it thoughtfully.]

Maybe I should've grabbed a bottle of water instead.

[notahobby]

[He waves dismissively and takes a sip of his own beer.]

You can take some to the bedroom.

[traumatizing]

[He rests a hand on Maxxie's chest and sighs softly.]

Just let me know when you're done eating. I'm gonna rest up first.

[notahobby]

Take as much time as you need.

[He wraps an arm around Terry's shoulder and gives him a squeeze. He doesn't want to push him too hard but now that he's had sex once he just wants to get as much more of it as he can. He'll slow down eventually but it's like the honeymoon phase has restarted itself.]

[traumatizing]

[Terry noses at Maxxie's shoulder and hums softly.]

I'll probably fall asleep if we leave it up to me.

[notahobby]

Well I'd rather you were fully rested up, I was kinda hoping you'd be on top this time.

[He sounds almost sheepish about it, as if the time to start being bashful wouldn't have been before he started talking about sex at all.]

[traumatizing]

I guess I can do that.

[Terry lifts his head to kiss Maxxie's cheek with a smile.]

I'm not even tired anyway. You're just so comfy.
