Cyrus knew of Hoenn's vigor. From Kanto, it was nearly impossible to avoid. Whether it be through magazine, news article, or internet forum discussion, there was always a new topic representing the state of the region. Often times it only reestablished what he already knew: his place was in Kanto, where life had been pressed into a simple rhythm of work and sleep.
[break][break]
It wasn't until a phone call came through, middle of the afternoon, that these plans were ruptured by Hoenn's never-ending hunger for more. They need support, the gruff voice informed him, they're low on medics.
[break][break]
If it hadn't been for his name - another gift from his parents - Cyrus might've slipped under the alphabetic radar. It might've been Xavier who received the Admin's call.
[break][break]
But fate was fickle and cruel, especially towards those most undeserving of its tenacity. So he packed up his bags, walked onto one of their main vessels, and rode across the ocean, over to the epicenter of conversation.
[break][break]
Only, when he arrived to his apartment, he hadn't expected to see a familiar face.
[break][break]
"Desmond?"
[break][break]
His voice spat out without warning. Quickly, Cyrus heard the sound of his briefcase smacking into the floor, as his hand ran up to cover his lips.

”just take forever.”[break][break]

time dragged by at the pace of an elder slugma. he’d been there fifteen minutes, but wandering through empty rooms and scrolling on his phone was quickly boring.[break][break]

relief came at the crack of the door, and he closed his eyes and sighed, ”finally,” before leaving the bedroom.[break][break]

cyrus’s face was well worth the wait. desmond’s hand went up to cover his own lips, miming him before it fell away with a smirk. ”cute.”[break][break]

ambling a few paces, he gazed through the space he’d already thoroughly investigated. “i’m surprised to see you too, but i guess this is your apartment.”[break][break]

with a turn back to cyrus, he smiled, as if it wasn’t odd that he’d broken in somehow. as if the inclination to do such a thing was simply part of his charm.[break][break]

”nice place.”[break][break][break]

"It's hardly mine."
[Break][break]
Rocket had chosen it for him. Hand selected it to serve as an optimal resting spot in between jam-packed workdays. Still, it would've been better to accept the compliment. It wasn't like Desmond was naive to Team Rocket's overbearing nature. They were cut from the same cloth, after all, with years sliced from their freedom and sacrificed to the organization's ultimate goal. If anyone would understand, it'd be him.
[Break][break]
Even then, Cyrus' body grew tense at the sight of Desmond. Reduced to a tin man starved of oil, all he could do was stare and think.
[Break][break]
"Did you..."
[Break][break]
His voice trailed off, vanishing into a plume of smoke, as his eyes caught the the slip of brown laying at his feet. His briefcase. He still needed to pick it up.
[Break][break]
Leaning down, he extended his arm out toward the slick leather handle bar, his eyes deliberately avoiding contact throughout the entire motion.
[Break][break]
"Did you need something from me?"

“does it matter?”[break][break]

he sat down on the couch, stretching his arms across the back of it and hearing particle board creak lightly. the fabric beneath his ringed fingers felt  predictably economical.[break][break]

cheap ikea assholes.[break][break]

"no, not really. i just wanted to check on you, see how you were doing.” a rather sweet gesture for someone like him, but cyrus would know that for whatever inexplicable reason, he had attracted a particularly rare side of desmond.[break][break]

”this region’s very eventful. doesn’t seem like your thing.”[break][break][break]

Anyone who worked with Cyrus for even a second could deduce his distaste for noise. It was as innate to his state of existence as chaos was to Desmond. And yet, there was a certain discomfort hidden between the other man's words.
[break][break]
Gripping onto the handles of his briefcase, the rocket rose back to his full height, towering over the many cheap furniture pieces that decorated his home. The more space he traveled, the easier it was to breathe and contemplate the extent of the other man's perception of him. Why, of all people, was him that he cared to notice?
[break][break]

"It isn't," he agreed. He hated how buzzing the city was. It'd been a handful of days and assignments had already flocked to his inbox, creating a deluge of to-dos on his limited size notebooks. It was as if the region's disorganized nature was so rampant, so pure, it'd leak onto everything within its touch. Including, now, his innocent schedule.
[break][break]

"I'm sure you're enjoying it, though."
[break][break]

Out from his bedroom, Aurora -- his alolan ninetales -- came. Her maw was left open, splitting into a long yawn, as she approached the couch. Without much warning, she perched herself beside Desmond, resting her head by his hand. She was practically demanding a pet from him.
[break][break]
"Have you explored outside the city yet?"

unfortunately for cyrus, team rocket didn’t care about what made people comfortable. his furniture was enough to prove that much.[break][break]

”a little. it’s been a blast, actually. hoennians really know how to party. something about living at the edge of oblivion, i think.”[break][break]

desmond paused, looking down as aurora appeared next to him. a majestic creature, though he preferred a little space between them. lightly, he stroked her fur, hoping he would not be wearing any on his way out. [break][break]

”and i’m guessing you haven't.” his gaze raised to the doctor again, a ruby promise of trouble. he was almost certain cyrus had been hiding in his hole at the end of each day, dreading the rise of another in that new tropical hell.[break][break]

Aurora, much like Team Rocket, didn't care for comfort. Without Desmond's side of the bargain, she would've found herself laying in the exact same position, with the exact same level of oblivious audacity, waiting for a calloused hand to stroke her mane. Luckily, he caught on quick. So after a few sufficient pets, the fox-like pokemon let out a quiet trill and removed herself from the couch, finding the hunk of space next to Cyrus all-the-more desirable.
[break][break]
In meantime, Cyrus had found himself shuffling between the cabinets of his new, shabby desk, the brief case he'd been carrying laid wide open and within his reach. Upon closer examination, either Aurora or Desmond would find a mixture of mundane medical reports and gadgets strung with gold. It was an odd concoction, but so was he.
[break][break]
"Living at the edge of oblivion, huh," he repeated to himself, his movements dulling for a second as contemplation wrote over his mind.
[break][break]
Wouldn't that include them now?
[break][break]
He shuddered and returned to his shuffling.
[break][break]
"Not yet, no."
[break][break]
It was a half-life that he prematurely spun up during a recent trip to the bathroom. The same way he prepares for most interaction: wild, vivid fantasies of countless possible conversations he might find himself sucked into. But, well prepared or not, they both knew the obvious truth: if given the opportunity, Cyrus would've locked himself in Petalburg for the entirety of their stay.
[break][break]
"But they're thinking of sending me to Slateport for a week to help with the lab they're building."

“perfect. i have business there anyways.” from the sound of things, slateport was the place to be, with bustling nightlife and all the noise cyrus could ever hope to shy away from. ”let’s leave early. we can get mai tais before you have to be boring.”[break][break]

desmond pulled himself off the couch then, wandering over and peering down at the assortment of things the doctor had been lugging around. he noted an odd item or two – in particular, something that looked like a locket. what was in it? suddenly, his curiosity was almost too much to handle.[break][break]

but on second thought, no. he didn’t care. his gaze averted casually.[break][break]

“is that your homework?”[break][break]

Cyrus' body tensed at the suggestion. He could already smell the rank stench of alcohol. It burned, the imagery a passageway to a past he wasn't prepared to touch.
[break][break]

Mai tais were her favorite.
[break][break]

"I'd prefer it if we stuck to Coffee."
[break][break]

So busied dismissing the light tease, he hadn't realized his own acceptance to idea of traveling together. It wasn't until a breath later, while shuffling between papers, that his movement slowed, and embarrassment crept through his twitching fingers.
[break][break]

It wasn't like he wanted to travel alone. But it was easier. There was no room for awkward conversation or opportunities to expose too much too soon. It was the way he'd always conducted his business within Rocket.
[break][break]

At Desmond question, which came out of nowhere and startled the man, forcing his shoulders to rise slightly in response, Cyrus' hand glided over to the golden locket situated at the end of the case. He pocketed it quickly, dropping it into the pocket of his lab coat.
[break][break]
"Important homework," he corrected, "I've read too many horror stories to let the movers handle everything."

no mai tais, but desmond still smirked like the cat who got the cream. “fine. coffee it is.”[break][break]

he wondered what sort of horror stories cyrus could be referring to. thieves would be foolish to target him, though perhaps it was merely the negligence of others that concerned such a careful and organized individual as he was.[break][break]

metal winked in the light, and desmond glimpsed the locket again as it was pocketed with a quickness that could not go ignored.[break][break]

”good to be in control,” he teased about the movers. cyrus was smart for it though, really.[break][break]

homework was then quickly forgotten as he focused on the far more interesting item in the doctor’s lab coat.[break][break]

”so sentimental. was i not supposed to see that?” he stared at cyrus, having already taken note of all the markers of his fluster. twitching fingers, tense posture.[break][break]

after a second, he averted the pressure of his gaze, letting him off the hook with a couple steps from his bubble.[break][break]

”relax. i’m just messing with you. i won’t pry.”[break][break][break]

Worse than the feeling of his own body betraying him was that of Desmond's attention. It burnt him, from the inside out, turning his heart into the sun. Everything felt scalding. Even his own mind, which ran with anxiety, traveling far off into the distance, where only crazy possibilities awaited him. Like one where Desmond somehow discovered what was inside the locket before he could pocket it, or one where he'd have to explain himself, or face the consequences of being shifty towards a coworker who was now permanently within his orbit.

[break][break]

At his words, Cyrus response became a ghostly specter, haunting the graveyard of his mouth. So he did notice. And now he was curious.
[break][break]

He pressed his lips together into a fine line, his brows locking into place. What was there to say to that?
[break][break]

"I-"
[break][break]

"I won't pry."
[break][break]

Then, in one swift swoop, relief freed him. He could feel his shoulders realigned themselves, the burden of stress no longer a weight to be carried.
[break][break]

"Sorry," He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, combing back the black from his forehead. "Its just some forgotten history."
[break][break]

He'd understand, right? Not many came to Rocket with lives filled with splendor. There was always a reason to their enrollment. Whether it be through purpose or personal circumstances, loyalty never came by chance, only by choice.
[break][break]

Seconds swept by as Cyrus finished filing away the pieces of 'homework'. Only after did his voice reenter the conversation, its normalcy returned.
[break][break]

"Your business in Slateport."
[break][break]

Reborn anew, his eyes flickered to Desmond's.
[break][break]

Curiosity in others wasn't something he'd shown often. He learned early in life of the dangers of the practice. And yet, he asked the question:
[break][break]
"What is it?"

forgotten history. so forgotten, that cyrus had stowed it in a secretive precious vessel, and remembered to take it along with him, packed aside all his most important materials.[break][break]

”mhm.” desmond watched him comb his fingers through his dark hair. it looked soft. ”you don’t have to apologize. keep your secrets, it makes you interesting.”[break][break]

he would find out eventually.[break][break]

pacing continued, an idle ambling like a cat in a cage when he’d inevitably lost cyrus’s attention to his work, however briefly. his phone was already in his hand when asked about his own obligations, and it was promptly pocketed again.[break][break]

”supply chain business, meeting the managers.” though further details were not confidential, they seemed unnecessary to share unless cyrus pressed for more. it was no big secret what he did. “probably some cleanup, too. turns out there are pros and cons to all this widespread devastation.”[break][break][break]

With his arms crossed and his ass perched against the edge of his desktop, Cyrus' mind fiddled with Desmond's words, raveling and unraveling them between his fingers. It was funny: even here, in the pinnacle of chaos, mundane work thrived. Even to the point of being designated to one of their best. It wasn't a surprising revelation - he'd known Desmond's flow of business ever since they were stationed in the same city back in Kanto. But there was still a certain satisfaction to its discovery.

An eyebrow reached upward, his voice settling into a light tease.

”punishing me?” cyrus was trying to turn the tables on him. what a fun wildcard. desmond smirked, looking at him as though he were ridiculous for his assumption. ”what, do you think i’m going to be scrubbing the decks?”[break][break]

although there would be messes he’d inevitably find himself picking through in the wake of kyogre’s rage, it was not the kind of dirty work he’d been referring to.[break][break]

no longer pacing, he faced cyrus fully with a bemused pinch still in his brow.[break][break]

“they don’t call on me because i’m trouble, cyrus. they call because i’m good at what i do.” an insinuating smile flashed.[break][break]

Opportunities were a rarity. Most days, Cyrus was a ghost to the living world. He'd hear conversation flicker between the open doors of the hallway, or from across the break room whenever he left to grab a drink. whether it be between close friends, colleagues, or acquaintances, he always envied their natural ability to connect. It made him feel even more of an anomaly, standing alone on his island.
[break][break]
But here, in the comfort of his own apartment, he found it. A chance to practice. To try his hand in the mental joust of wit and humor.
[break][break]
Desmond's attention still unnerved him, but that didn't mean much. He was always unnerved by something.
[break][break]
"That makes two of us."
[break][break]
He took a pause, his eyebrows furrowed. One thought jumped to another, and before he could mull on it, the words jumped out from his mouth
[break][break]
"I wonder how we'll match up to everyone here."
