five ○ voice / action

Who: Caesar & u
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Marsiva, kitchens & gym!
When: Ostensibly 11/15, but really whenever

[His voice sounds muted, almost bored, but anybody who actually knows him might be a little worried at the lack of underlying irritation there. There's the clank of pots and pans in the background, also muted.]

Since we're stuck here for the foreseeable future - I understand that people are coping. [As people do. For what good it does.] I don't have the proper augment, but I know how to cook if anyone wants to learn. I don't have anything else to do. [Besides watch The Princess Bride on endless repeat.]

[. . . And then, almost as an afterthought:]


I can fight, too. If anyone wants that.

[Find him in the kitchens, or the gym on request. Close CR can assume a delivery of a comfort food of their choice.]

[Joseph holds Caesar just a little tighter once he starts hiding his face. He presses a kiss to the top of Caesar's head before resting his cheek there. There's not much he can do about any of that. He can't make the dreams stop and he can't stop whatever the hell keeps dumping him back in his room. He'll just have to find a way to wake up earlier, he thinks, and sneak back into Caesar's room.]

I know, baby. But they aren't going to keep us here forever. [He rubs small circles between Caesar's shoulder blades. He's pretty sure they can't anyway. If they're concerned about ratings--which they must be--they can't rely on the same thing again and again to get them there. Whatever the hell is going on exactly will have to even out soon or else... Well, it's just going to and they'll be back on their ships in no-time.] You just gotta try to leave the night behind you when you wake up in the morning.

It's not. [And it's really not. Joseph would much rather Caesar spend all day in the kitchen over sitting around worrying about how much longer the clock has before it knock them all out again and the whole freaky dream process starts all over again. At least with cooking he's doing something and getting his mind off things for a while.] It's just... Caesar, you can't take care of other people if you're not taking care of yourself. You're not obsessing over it, but you're still just sitting on it.
nextlineis: (★ mmm-mmm)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-11-16 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, for starters, you don't hide away in a kitchen. You go about what you always do as best you can to avoid sitting around dwelling on it, but you talk to someone about it to get it out of your system instead of just hoping it'll go away on its own.

[He nudges Caesar off his shoulder to look at him, running his fingers through his hair.]

You know all it takes is telling me you need to talk and I'll be right there, Caesar, but you can do the same thing with other people about the dreams, too. You can talk about them since we're all experiencing them. You're not going through this alone this time. Besides, you never know. They might really need to talk about it, too, but don't know how to start or are too scared, and you'd be doing them a favor by taking that first step in talking about what you saw.

[He starts to grin a little, looking a touch impish. He can only stay serious for so long.]

Just consider maybe opening up with a little less hugging than you did with me unless you know the person really well. That might make things awkward otherwise.

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-11-19 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you can probably keep that part. If they turn down your cooking, they're probably insane and you don't want to be their friend anyway.

[That's just Joseph's humble opinion, you know. Unbiased and everything. His fingers still in Caesar's hair to cradle the back of his head so he can press a kiss to his forehead.]

Promise me? You're going to try not to spend so much time in here hiding away, yeah?

[He'd make him promise to talk to someone, but Joseph realizes that's a tall order for Caesar. As much as he wishes it wasn't, it simply is. Caesar's slow to share everything still even with Joseph. It's going to take more time and more than just a single conversation to get him to open up to more people when and where he needs to. So, Caesar has to start somewhere. Being around people, at least, seems a good place to start and doable even if he ends up sticking close to Joseph.]

[Joseph isn't in the mood to play hard to get right now. When Caesar goes looking for that kiss, it's exactly what he gets.]

I'll hold you to it then.

[He punctuates this with another quick kiss and ruffling Caesar's hair, a playful warning of all the ways Joseph could reward or "punish" Caesar. He trusts Caesar to make good on his word though. They don't lie to each other and when they make a promise, they do everything they can to keep it. He keeps teasing Caesar.]

But you know, I will make an exception. If you get bored enough to cook for me, you can spend all day in here if you want.
nextlineis: (☆ that's what they don't know mmm-mmm)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-11-22 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph snorts, shaking his head. Silly, sweet Caesar. What sort of question is that? Have you met Joseph? Like at all?]

Of course I can! My idea of an ideal day is just laying around, snacking, and reading comic books.
nextlineis: (☆ shake shake shake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-11-26 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I said it was ideal, not that it's what I actually did.

[...Okay, but it's pretty close. He'd have to admit to that if pressed, and it's not like Joseph hasn't fully admitted that he hates hard work. Thankfully, Caesar doesn't appear to be in a forceful mood right now.]

But you are a pretty good motivator.
nextlineis: (☆ shake shake shake shake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-11-26 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Joseph can't exactly call Caesar out on being arrogant. You know being the pot in this situation. But he does gently and playfully bump noses with Caesar when he leans in closer for more attention. He wraps his arms a little tighter around Caesar.]

Are you trying to imply that wasn't your plan all along? You know I really don't like sharing.
nextlineis: (★ my ex-man brought)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-12-03 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[He grins crookedly at Caesar. It goes without saying that Joseph doesn't mind being spoiled. In fact, one could safely assume that he also likes it. But he does especially like it when it's coming from Caesar.]

You've only got yourself to blame for how spoiled I've become though, so you can't complain.
nextlineis: (☆ hate hate hate hate)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-12-06 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright, [Joseph says as he rests both hands on either side of Caesar on the edge of the counter.] Maybe it's not entirely your fault.

[He kisses Caesar's chin.]

But I don't see you putting an end to it either.

nextlineis: (★ with what you want to say)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-12-14 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[It's that feeling he doesn't deserve it that partially drives Joseph to do it in the first place. Caesar deserves everything Joseph can give him and more. Maybe one day he'll get that, but maybe not. Either way, it's Caesar's to have as long as he wants it.]

That sounds like something I should announce to the entire network though. [He grins crookedly. He nips at Caesar's lip teasingly, but avoids kissing him at all costs.] Why should I keep something like that to myself?
nextlineis: (☆ i never miss a beat)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-12-14 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I don't knoooow... You're not that nice to me to begin with.

[What a liar Joseph Joestar is. It's not like they just establish what a spoiled brat he is or that Caesar contributes anything to it, or anything like that. But also note: he's not complaining.]
nextlineis: (☆ shake shake shake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-12-14 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh c'mon, I shouldn't have to spell something like that out for you. [Joseph shakes his head and just so happens to nuzzle noses with Caesar. Huh, how'd that happen?] You're always going on about what an idiot I am, so use that big brain of yours, dumbass.
