DAY 429 | PRIVATE + OPEN
[ Closed to Wade Wilson ]

_{[ Kirk had woken up before Wade, which wasn't all that unusual. He didn't sleep long when he did, and he tended to get up early no matter how late it had been the night before anyways. He loved his morning jog or his morning swim, just something to kick start the system and clear his head from whatever had worked its way in while he slept.

He'd intended to dress and leave quietly, letting Wade sleep and hopefully wake him up with breakfast, except... where were his clothes? He frowned, looking through all the drawers, but everything was empty. For a brief moment he thought Wade had done something, some sort of prank, and made for the front door. He opened it up and peered out, briefly stepping into the halls to check over balconies and out windows. Wade seemed the type to enjoy the underwear up the flagpole type of tricks.

Except they weren't there. They weren't anywhere, and a quick check of the network... oh.

Sighing, he went back inside and made his way to the bed, flopping back down beside his partner with a thump. If that woke Wade up, then grand, otherwise he would find something to occupy himself until Wade woke. Possibly pushups, or maybe he should finish that book he took out from the library. He did only have a few chapters... ]}

[ Open ]

_{[ Later that afternoon, Kirk has worked up a make-shift sort of outfit from spare bed sheets - outfit in this case equalling a knotted sort of skirt that came to his knees. From the looks of things, everyone else had similar ideas or wasn't out at all, but he would be damned if he wasn't getting out at least once today. He needed to stretch his legs, and he wanted some fresh produce to cook a meal tonight. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

That of course meant a stop by the market, crouching and reaching for items, which required quite a few minute adjustments of his skirt (kilt?). On a whim he decided to detour briefly to the library. He should have a book ready for when he finished the other one, after all. It was such a drag when you didn't have something nearby, just in case. Oh, and maybe he should see if he could pick up some beer to take back to the apartment too. Yes, absolutely, this was a 'need a beer' kind of day. And churros. And ice cream.

Was body fat and cholesterol even a thing in a digital prison? Time to find out. ]}

[How was it she was always out of whatever it was she happened to be craving on the worst possible days. Martha ventured out in her own version of the bedsheet toga. The skirt is a bit short, and the toga only covers one shoulder, but it's enough for a short errand.

She was deliberating between an Earl Grey versus an English Breakfast Tea when Kirk walked by. Martha smiled up at him.]

I see you had to resort to the bed sheets too.

_{[ Everything that could go wrong, would go wrong. It's a universal law for a reason, Martha, even if it's the tiniest of things.

He glanced up when she spoke, his eyes flicking up and down her quickly despite himself. He told himself it was a threat assessment reaction, but he knew it was a lie deep down. ]}

Towel didn't cover enough, and I am not going curtain shopping again. So sheets it was.

	Again a matter of opinion of if fur counts as being covered or not. Covered generally means to have clothing, and since you don't have any you've just been running around naked this whole time. _{[ LOGIC. Spock would be proud. Maybe. Probably not. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ It's perhaps a little too easy to swallow the guilt and embrace this accidental domestic lifestyle they've fallen into. As long as he doesn't think about Vanessa, that is, and who can really blame him? He's been starved for it ever since that night when he left and only just getting her back to then be pulled to this bullshit excuse of a prison? Of course he's aching. Of course he doesn't have it in him to resist.

Therapy did a bit of a number on those carefully constructed defences he's got going, so ever since then he's doubled down on pretending like everything is fine and normal. Dinner with Kirk, going to sleep in their bed in what has quickly and accidentally become their apartment. It's all good. It's fine. It's still fine when he wakes up, groggily finding his partner still home. ]

_{[ Kirk probably didn't help the situation in that he simply accepted it. Why worry about it, right? They were fine, everything was fine. Dinner was nice, the movies were nice, he had a partner to cuddle up with and keep him warm at night. No need to upset that balance they've achieved.

He smiled when Wade woke up, always finding his groggy face cute. ]}

_{[ He winced a little inside, knowing how sensitive Wade was about his looks. He wished he could say he was, but he wasn't in he same boat as Wade. Sort of. He didn't mind being seen naked, but he didn't like having it all hanging out there all the time. ]}

No, not joking. Looks like it's going to be an inside kind of day. But I can think of worse ways to spend a day.

	universal_charm 2017-06-02 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Wade, calm down! _{[ He doesn't go about trying to stop him, watching from the bed and keeping out of his way in his frentic, fruitless search. He understood wanting to check, though he felt bad because he knew what Wade would find. That is, nothing at all. ]} I'm sure it's just a glitch for a day or two.

You don't get it- I made that suit! It's part of me, James! It's not just-- it's not just a pair of fucking jeans, it's the only part of my identity I can actually stand for five fucking minutes!

[ Freak out inching over into full blown rage by now. ]

And I wouldn't count on getting anything back - they wouldn't even give me the suit when I first got here. Not even the suit!

_{[ He frowned again, but he didn't contradict the other. In such an emotional state, there would be little point in it, and it wouldn't help Wade. To be honest, he had realized how much the suit meant, other than a way to hide himself.

Still, it didn't mean all hope was lost. ]}

Well, fine, if they don't, then I'll just go out and get the materials for you and you can remake it.

_{[ He motioned to the bed and the windows. ]}

There's sheets and curtains. I can make something wearable out of that and go get us new clothes and some fabric for you to make the suit. Or I can at least request it and pick it up when the fabric comes in.

	maximumeffort 2017-06-04 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	And then what? I do that again every fucking time they fuck up? [ He wants to break something but this isn't his own place and that makes it seem like a dick move.

_{[ All right, he gets that Wade is upset. He does. But this sort of weird pity party isn't like him, and it's a little irritating. It's not like he wants to go wandering around naked either. Sure he's confident in his body, but even he has limits.

He slides off the bed and comes over to him, crouching down in front of him and stroking his head. ]}

Hey, calm down. It will be okay. Right now let's just focus on what we can do, okay? Why don't you make some breakfast and I'll make myself a toga or something and go out and get some supplies for the day?

[ Yeah, guess why he keeps the suit on all the time. It's a safety blanket, some fragile thread that's keeping his sanity together and without it, without the option to slip into the leather and disappear as Deadpool for a couple of hours there's only Wade and Wade is a fundamentally broken man. Was a broken man long before Francis but even more so now and if there's one thing he's not good at, it's healthy coping mechanisms.

Would really like to blow some shit up right now. ]

Don't pity me. [ Darkly, pulling away from the touch. ] You don't have to do this. You don't owe me shit.

_{[ He understands that, he does. He hated to see Wade like this, but neither did he like the implication that he was somehow with Wade because of some debt he felt he owed him. Or because he felt sorry for him. It was almost enough to make him punch the other, but for now all he did was darken his brow and pull away slightly. ]}

It's now about owing you shit, Wade. It's about giving a damn about you because I actually like you.

_{[ Oh, he wanted to. He wanted to punch him for that.

Instead the hurt crawled across is face, quick as a slap and gone, smoldering red behind it all as he slowly pushed to his feet. He turned his back to Wade, going to the curtains and tugging one side down so that he could begin working on wrapping it up into a sort of toga around his body. ]}

I'm going to go out and go get some food for the day and if I can't find some fabric for you to make something out of. If I can't, we just have to wait it out.

_{[ He turned to look at Wade. ]}

Any requests? Maybe I should stop by Jack's shop, get you a few dicks since you're so interested in acting like one right now.

[ He's not sure what's worse, that Kirk is continuing to be nice or that he's still making jabs about all this, like it's nothing, like his feelings about all this aren't valid. Bad day gone worse. Didn't think that could happen. ]

Don't bother.

[ With any of it. He'll remain on the floor for now, very much not looking in Kirk's direction, waiting it out until he's alone so he can make himself a sheet ghost and get the fuck out of here. ]
