with an attractive, blue-lacquered case securely nestled in one arm, theo makes his way deeper into the submarine, navigating through familiar hallways before arriving at an unfamiliar destination. despite that, he knocks with absolute certainty.[break][break]

he opens the door to 's office and steps in.[break][break]

"Underboss Beckett."[break][break]

When stepped across the threshold into 's office, he'd find it to be as welcoming as one might expect. There was something fragrant in the air, pleasing and heady. Lamplight spilled across dark wooden floors toward a small sitting area, which consisted of a couch and two cushioned chairs.[break][break]

And, if Theo were to look, he'd find that at the corner of Barnaby's desk sat the Palentine's gift given to him by his superior: a single rose encased in a glass container.[break][break]

"Hm. A little formal for what I had in mind." Casual in his approach, he turned to the drink cart nearby and plucked two crystal tumblers from it, already anticipating what was to come.[break][break]

"Do you mind if I call you Theo?"[break][break]

They'd addressed each other informally in the Distortion World, but that was an entirely different dimension, far away from ROCKET's rigid hierarchy.

's office is a stark contrast to theo's but it is what he has come to expect from the admin, the pleasant and heady fragrance in the air eases whatever tension they may feel from being confined by rocket's rigid hierarchy, though he finds it relatively easy to ignore it the moment the door closes behind him.[break][break]

his head shakes as he approaches.[break][break]

"please."[break][break]

without waiting for an invitation, he sits, gently placing the blue-lacquered case before him. he notices how his gift is displayed on their desk, appreciating the gesture.[break][break]

"i never took you for someone who enjoys bourbon."

Oh?” [break][break]

There was a curious lilt to how he voiced the word, though Barnaby’s attention was divided between the underboss and his preparations for their little rendezvous. Balancing the two tumblers in the palm of one hand, he scooped up an ice bucket from the drinking cart in the other before joining Theo on the couch.[break][break]

What did you think I enjoyed?” [break][break]

Placing everything onto the coffee table in front of them, Barnaby then began tidily unpackaging the bourbon. [break][break]

Neat or on the rocks?

"champagne."[break][break]

though he means it as a half-joke, the way he delivers it makes it difficult to tell otherwise. knowing himself well enough, he knows to smile a little after.[break][break]

"but for less grand occasions, wine. white if you're alone, red when you have company."[break][break]

he watches tidiliy unpackage the bourbon.[break][break]

"i'll have the same as you."

When smiled, found himself doing the same. Had he ever seen such an expression on the other man’s face before? [break][break]

No, this was new. But not necessarily unwanted.[break][break]

I’ll have the same as you.
[break]

The ice wouldn’t be needed, then. Barnaby preferred his drinks neat. With this in mind, he uncorked the ornate bottle and poured a generous amount into both tumblers. He then handed Theo his glass, their knuckles momentarily brushing together.[break][break]

Hmm. I suppose I enjoy wine well enough.” Barnaby mused, leaning into the plush backing of the couch. “But bourbon felt more appropriate for our… meeting.”[break][break]

Plus,” Taking his first sip, he looked over at Theo, still smiling faintly. “I like the way it burns.

gratitude is shown through the subtle dip of his head as he accepts the glass, knuckles brushing against 's to draw warmth from an unexpected level of intimacy shared between two coworkers.[break][break]

"hm."[break][break]

he finds that he does not mind it.[break][break]

"it occurs to me that i know very little of you. i'd like to change that."[break][break]

after a sip, he continues.[break][break]

"so, tell me, what else are you fond of?"

"I'm fond of gifts," Barnaby revealed, his eyes sliding over to the flower sitting pristinely on his desk. Lamplight struck its glass case at an angle that cast a kaleidoscope of fractal shapes against the dark office wall closest to them.[break][break]

"To be honest, I was surprised when I received yours." The admission was tied to another sip of his bourbon.[break][break]

"Why the rose? If you don't mind my asking."

he pauses, holding 's gaze to play on the tension between them only to tug on it moments after with a chuckle.[break][break]

"blue would've been more appropriate for us."[break][break]

held ’s gaze as he talked about love, curious to know the other man’s true intentions for coming here.[break][break]

The symbolism behind floral gifts wasn’t a foreign concept. He remembered learning about it years ago, when he’d sometimes help in her woodland cottage. [break][break]

It felt like a lifetime had passed since then.[break][break]

If I’m remembering correctly, orange roses can have many meanings.” [break][break]

Here Barnaby shifted in his seat to better face Theo, propping an elbow on the back of the couch as he did so.[break][break]

Fascination, desire, hope, new beginnings.” There were more, but these seemed like the best contenders. [break][break]

Which one do you think fits us best?

"i'm still deciding."[break][break]

he answers, gaze still trained on , unwilling to peel away even as he raises his glass to sip. it's a fine bourbon, fitting for their stature.[break][break]

"but i'm leaning towards desire."

Hmm..” [break][break]

Barnaby broke away first, his gaze sliding downward to briefly contemplate the amber liquid in his hand.[break][break]

Desire. How to best interpret this?[break][break]

Theo,” He spoke the other man’s name through a low chuckle, smiling softly against the rim of his glass as he brought it to his lips. “Do you remember the day we met?”[break][break]

His eyes flashed upward then, regaining contact.[break][break]

And how you slammed my head against the trunk of a car?”[break][break]

There was neither bitterness nor anger in Barnaby’s voice, only a reminiscent wistfulness in the way he recalled their past.

"and how i pointed a gun at your head and pulled the trigger?"[break][break]

in the back alley of the brightly-lit diner, he can still hear the sound of 's head bouncing off the trunk of the car.[break][break]

unsure how to take it, he responds genuinely.[break][break]

"i do. rather clearly, in fact. why?"

recalled the way a bruise had almost immediately flowered across his cheek that day. The pain had lasted for weeks.[break][break]

What he remembered most, however, was the feeling of unyielding submission. had demanded it of him. [break][break]

It turned me on.”[break][break]

With this new admission out in the open, Barnaby threw back the last of his bourbon before placing the tumbler onto the coffee table. He did not refill it, instead deciding to simply lean back into the couch.[break][break]

I still think about it sometimes.

familiar with the roles assigned to them from the moment they sat across each other in the dimly-lit diner in slateport, theo finds 's gaze, holding it as he finishes the rest of his bourbon.[break][break]

his shirt stretches against his muscles, tightly held together by mere buttons as he leans over to place the glass onto the coffee table.[break][break]

"have you thought about me since?"
