Where: Recon's Bedroom
What: Leisure Time
Status: In Progress
Rating: R

Joe looked forward to hanging out with his two best friends. No professionalism or lab labor, just pajamas and vulgarity. Josiah was laying on his stomach with his elbows at the edge of the bed, holding a game controller and turning it from side to side as if it were a steering wheel. With a full schedule of lab work, guard duty, and other business that needed tending too, it was seldom that the three amigos got together for some R & R. So between the video game victory shouts and the blaring stereo, Joe's bedroom certainly wasn't vacant for volume. The floor was littered with food packages and socks around the area they were sitting.

Joe walloped Will in the head with one of the many throw pillows from his bed.

"I think you always win because you cheat, cock gobbler."

Shard had been still on the floor at the end of the bed eyes level with Joe's. Will over exaggerated the hit from the pillow fell to his side. He quickly popped back up and hit Joe square in the shoulder with his fist. "Ass," he barked over the sound of the TV.

Will set down the controller as they were between races and gave a quick look around the room. "A little sterile in here, don't ya think Joe? Thought maybe your room would have some personality after living with us."

"Smells like my gramma's bathroom, dude." Troy added, from the corner. He wasn't great at video games, to be quite honest, and he was starving, so he'd cornered himself with some beef jerky and opted to watch Will beat Joe, instead. Good. He would've been doing something else, but honestly, he didn't trust Joe alone with Will. Going from Will's track record and Joe's level of desperation as of late, he wouldn't put it past Joe to try and get in the gruff man's pants. So he was kinda stuck babysitting his man while he played with the doctor. Wasn't like he had much else to do.

"And what's with all the pillows? We have like, two. 'Cause there's two of us. What, you got Jamie stayin' in here with you?" The darker man grinned widely and snagged a bite of his snack.

Half the time Troy had to steal Will's pillow, on account of his went missing. 'Missing' here meaning on the floor or chair or some other place that he couldn't reach from the bed. To hell with that noise. "Don't get me wrong, it looks better than our room. I think that's why he moved out, Will," he cracked. Between the mess and the smoking, Joe hadn't been a happy camper. The Native shot Will a wink after taking a bite of jerky (mostly to help keep his mouth shut). They all had a tendency to squabble, and pillows and punches were already being thrown.

"My bedroom is my sanctuary so yes, I like it tidy. I also like pillows," he quipped while throwing one at Troy.

It was true. If there was one place Joe felt calm - it was his bedroom. No florescent lighting, no test tubes or lab machines, just comfortable furniture and a big screen TV. More often than not he found himself falling asleep at his desk, so having the opportunity to zonk out in a bed was always a plus.

It wasn't long until video games got old and some abstract foreign film made it's way into the DVD player, which no doubt would probably bore the other two. But the night wasn't necessarily about what they were doing as much as it was just being together and not doing anything work related. A lot of things were galloping through Joe's mind, but one thing in particular struck his curiosity. He felt the need to speak up during a love scene.

"What do you guys think of Gus?," he asked in a fake I-don't-really-care tone. He was praying they weren't going to respond with something outlandish like he was once a woman or that he worshiped the devil. Granted, they probably knew just as much as he did, but he still felt inquisitive. He had interest in the boy but wasn't necessarily ready to broadcast it, even to his friends.

"He's okay." Will answered shifting uncomfortably against the foot of Joe's bed. He hadn't moved when Joe switched to the bad movie. Why the hell Joe wanted to watch this, Will couldn't guess. Just one of those pretentious things Joe liked to do. 'Hey, I watch movies with subtitles!' Whatever, Will never passed up a chance to make fun of a new movie.

"Not really all there... Ya know? Distracted." He continued about Gus. He was generally the one carrying the camera when Will and Troy did something ~~fun~~ stupid. Speaking of Troy, Will looked over at the native who looked near the breaking point. Lately Troy hadn't really been Joe's biggest fan, the reasons had escaped Will. "Hey-" he threw a pillow at Torrent. "Gus; any thoughts?" Will said with a wink at his man.

Troy was about ten seconds away from busting out the door and finding something better to stare at than white people speaking a language that hadn't been forced on him. He would've busted out sooner, but he was sticking to his guns. The couple on screen were getting ready to make out when Joe spoke. Troy wasn't sure if he was relieved that there was conversation about to happen, or if he was pissed that Joe was speaking through the most interesting part of the film thus far.

"Gus is kinda retarded. Don't get me wrong, I mean, he's one hell of a cameraman." Better than Joe. Jeez, was Troy happy to hear that Gus had returned. It made for much better 'Messing With So-and-So's. Messing With Logan hadn't gone too well. But they'd learned that the Wolverine washed his hands after using the bathroom. Go figure. Messing With Ronan was gonna happen sooner or later, though. Now that the Pulse-Man was back, things were gonna happen. Ooooh yeaaaah. "It's not like we know him better than you." Troy added, finally. He wasn't sure what Joe was getting at. "What do you think about Gus?"

"I know him just as well, but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything," Joe changed the topic before continuing.

"Okay maybe this movie isn't so great." He turned the DVD player off and the screen illuminated the room in blue. He motioned for Will to pick something else from the video cabinet below the television.

"I don't think he's retarded. In fact, I think quite the contrary. He's quick witted and...well, charming."

At this point Josiah didn't consider what he was feeling a crush, but more curiosity. Aside from their here-and-there conversations, he didn't know a lot about the more intimate parts of the photographer's life. Chit-chatting with the boys was his way of getting his foot in the door.

'Star Wars', Will thought as he slid over to Joe's DVD collection. He pulled the large black and silver original trilogy from the case. Will tossed the set over to Joe, "Don't care which one."

"Um, yeah, you sound like you got a little bit of crush there Joe." Will said with the beginnings of a smirk. "Which is cool, 'cause Gus is a good guy."

"Shut up Troy," Will anticipated the Native's remarks on the movie selection. "Love me, love the saga." He said with unnecessarily serious tone and a raised fist.

Troy didn't open his mouth about the film(s) of choice. He was too interested in Joe's interest in Gus. Good! He nodded in agreement with Will, or so it seemed. "I think you sound like you've spent too much time with Braddock," he cracked. 'Quite the contrary!' 'Charming!' Shudder.

"Gus is a good guy," he agreed, however. The little retard.

Unnecessarily, he chucked a pillow into the back of Joe's head and he stared out the window innocently until Will spoke his name. His head jerked around and he rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah, laser swords and blasters. I know how it is with you nerds." They all wanted to save the princess and all that other crap. "I'll love the saga when someone tells Darth Whiner how to act."
