Back from the Dead

Who: Remy, Kurt, and open.
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: On the Twin Roses.
When: Backdated to 9th October.

[Several weeks after the loss of the planet, both Remy and Kurt seem fit enough to finally head back to the Twin Roses. Or at least fit enough to roll themselves out of the beds they had been left in to wake up and recover from their not-so-near death experience.]

‘nd I thought the day after Mardi Gras was bad. Merde, remind me never to be down on an explodin’ planet again, feel like ‘ve been stuck in a tumble drier filled of swamp water ‘nd set spinnin’ for two weeks on end.

Lebeau, if you don’t stop complaining I’m going to put you back on that planet. Gott, I haven’t felt this horrible since I was a child. [Kurt paused, raising a hand to shove his shoulder-length hair out of his eyes] Und my hair is in my fucking face. [He’s going to pretend that didn’t sound at all like a pathetic whine.]

Thought that kinda comes with the whole fur thing, ya know, hair in the face. [Look at him, he’s just so funny, isn’t it? Though they had to come back to reality eventually, as much fun as it was to avoid it and just muck around.] How angry ya think Kitty will be at us? Though, in my defense, I had been usin’ ya as the messenger, so ya the one who failed to tell her, not me.

[Hilarious, and Kurt is about to tell him in no minced words just how well his humor is going over when the other man mentions Kitty. What spirit Kurt has deflates, his tail drooping far enough to drag on the ground.] I doubt you’ll have any worries about her wrath once she sees me.

Ahh, [Remy reached out to pat a hand against Kurt’s shoulder, maybe a bad thing at the sudden movement didn’t help anything, making him winch before he dropped his hand again.] We’ll face her together, after all, we stuck in this together, hein? Seems only right with ya bein’ an idiot ‘nd coming back for me.

[A faint smile twitches at the corners of his mouth, even as he very carefully shakes his head.] Don't make promises, Lebeau. You might want to kill me too when this is over.

Though, [Remy started as he moved to pull out his comm, activating it so he could say the next part into it as well as saying it to Kurt. Kurt forced himself to straighten, crossing his arms over a chest that's broader than its been in years.] Guess while we at it it be good to let everyone know we’re, ya know, back alive? Which be a good thing, don’t recommend the dyin’ but glad to be brought back. I just may be spendin’ the next week or two in bed still. Donno what they do to ya while ya out, but merde if it ain’t a number on ya.

I have a few theories.

[To Kurt.] Guessin’ we ain’t really goin’ to get ‘ny sympathy over it though, considerin’ what we did.

At this point I'd settle for the mercy of a swift death. [Kurt glances toward the comm, giving a good shot of his face; lean, but noticeably younger by the better part of a decade. His hair is longer too, falling around his shoulders.] Any takers?

[Feel free to tag either of the boys, or both.]

_{[ He will laugh later. Maybe. Not now. ]}

It's not going great for you right now.

_{[ BOOM. ]}

[Oh, ouch, yeah, ok, time for joking over it seems. Remy at least managed to look a little sorry in his smile to the comm.] Hey, in one piece still, or, well, am now I guess. [Well, almost done joking.] Can't get rid of me that easy. [You know, if you ignore the half a year he had gone missing before showing up again.]

'nd ya a mighty fine good sight to come back to. [There, flattery helps too, right?]

_{[ Kirk continues to glare at him from his end of things. ]}

I want to see for myself. Ask Kurt to pop you over here. I'm sure he can.

[With how bad this 'recovery' was all Remy wanted to do was crash in his own bed and sleep for a day or two, but the idea of seeing Jim was rather appealing, even if he did end up getting yelled at a bit. Dieu knows if this was the reverse Remy would want to see him.

Casting a concerned glance towards Kurt, Remy focused back to Kirk.] I'd rather not push him right now, but I can jump in a shuttle 'nd head over. May need some coffee to keep me on m' feet once I'm there though.

Don't blame me if the coffee is cold when you get here.

_{[ In other words, come, but he's still mad at you and worried and he
is not going to reward you for crazy behavior. Well, probably not. ]}

I think I can cope with that, provided I get a warm reception. [It was said as Remy shuffled his way to the shuttle... pausing to grab a change of clothing as he felt he would be on the Tourist for awhile, and really, also just needing a shower at some point. He also may have also almost dozed off in the shuttle on the way over to the other ship, able to drag himself off the shuttle and into the depths of the Tourist.]

_{[ He would, if Kirk had his say. Remy had been asleep before he had gone to sleep, and then he wakes up and he's still gone, except this time it's worse. It felt like Remy might as well have gone home. He waited rather impatiently for the other to arrive, and there was an honest debate inside his head whether to punch Remy when he first saw him or not.

Instead, he folded his arms around the red head and squeezed tightly. ]}

Idiot. This is what you get for playing at heroics.

What ya mean? [Ok, that hug was nice, Remy's arms coming up to return it as he spoke against Kirk's ear, a grin back in place at the insult sent his way, knowing there was not any real anger behind it, or at least not any bad anger.] Was just followin' what I thought one of m' greatest role models would do, savin' some people from a doomed planet. Though, didn't get a chance to make out with some hot green skinned female alien, got stuck with a fuzzy blue mutant 'nstead.

But hey, I still got the guy at the end, right? [Pulling back just enough to throw a look to Kirk as he said that, leaving that weight behind it that, well, maybe he realized afterwards could had been a bit too heavy. Both to send Jim's way, and for him to even say.]

_{[ Oh, he heard it. The words sank into him, weighed down on his shoulders and warmed his skin. On some level, he had begun to know that he felt more for Remy than just a friend with benefits, thought that maybe Remy felt the same way back. But why say anything and potentially ruin a good thing? What was unspoken was fine, and they could let kisses and touches say it or the way they held each other after making love.

Slowly he reached up, cupping the other's face and leaning forward to touch their foreheads together. ]}

Yeah, turns out you did. To bad you didn't get back in time to wake him with a kiss though. Would have been the hero trifecta.

_{[ He smiled just a little, fingers tightening on the back of Remy's shirt. ]}

[Mentally giving himself a bit of a kick for letting that emotion leak out, one he really was refusing to recognize, Remy refocused on the moment, smiling at the gesture. He... he didn't do long term, as much as he had wanted it, and maybe still did somewhere deep inside of him. It just wasn't in his cards, he had accepted that now. So yes, why ruin a good thing? It was far easier just to have fun until it ended.]

Hey, not like this some Disney movie or something. [Before a bright, and maybe a touch smug, grinned crossed his face.] Even if ya would had been kissed by a prince if I had.

_{[ Long term here wasn't exactly a given thing either, was it? Either of them could be forced home at any moment, leaving the other behind. Not their fault, just the nature of this place. So better to just live with what they had, save themselves from some deeper ache. Even though Remy initially leaving had torn a hold in him.

He snorted, leaning in a little closer. ]}

Did you get an upgrade while I was sleeping then?

_{[ Not that he was going to give Remy time to answer, pressing his mouth gently to the Cajun's, testing how strong the other felt. ]}

[There was so many ways to answer that, from the truth, to some joke that Remy would at least find funny, even if Jim didn't. However, that was all very quickly pushed aside in exchange for that kiss. It was so good to get this contact again, Remy had sorely missed Kirk while he had been asleep, even with the chaos of the Fleet. It was just a chunk missing from what was his now everyday life.

And maybe still extra impacting since he knew he had been gone for so long from the Fleet.

Smiling against Jim's lips at the kiss, Remy leaned into the kiss, pressing for more to try and ignore what he had just gone through and the mess that the recovery had been.]

_{[ It felt like forever that he stood there and kissed Remy, the
sensation nearly burning, but in that pleasant way that left him wanting
more. Needing more, even. The first time Remy left, it had left a rent in
his heart. Ever since he had returned, they'd been able to spend hardly any
time together between their respective comas. If Kirk were more sentimental
and romantic, he might dare to say they were star crossed.}

_{Kirk eased back, a faint smile crossing his lips. ]}

Come on. I should get you somewhere you can sit before your legs give out.

What? Ya not offerin' to carry me if I need it? [Grinning as he stepped back from their embrace, but only to allow Remy to slip his arm around Jim's waist so they can walk side by side.] Then again, sure it would be in an unflatterin' way, thrown over ya shoulder or fireman hold or the like. [His thumb moving to tuck into the waistband of Kirk's pants where his hand rested against the far side of his hip.]

_{[ He laughed, returning the gesture with a simple arm around the other's waist. There was the slightest shiver when he felt the brush of Remy's thumb against his skin along the band of his pants, a sensation he had missed. That it might be construed as a tad possessive even wasn't necessarily a turn off - they had that sort of understanding, after all, unspoken though it might be. ]}

Oh, I don't know. I think I would personally like the view - and you too, from that angle.

_{[ He smirked and glanced sideways at Remy as they made for Kirk's quarters, giving his hip a squeeze. ]}
