Who: Reed and Alex
When: Tuesday morning, August 31st, 2112
Where: the 'office'
What: Reed is late to work for the first time ever
Reed felt absolutely horrible about being late to work. This had never happened before. It was actually more common for him to be the very first to arrive, or simply stay all night, camped out on a cot or passed out on his desk. He was indeed a workaholic. That had changed a bit lately. Apparently, roommates equal a social life. And now, having a roommate also equaled a sex life. Reed didn't know what to make of it all. He'd rushed out of the apartment quickly with work being a legitimate excuse for not discussing the night's very eventful events with Megan.
When he walked into the lab, Reed instantly noticed stares in his direction. Such attention could have arisen from a variety of factors. Reed hadn't taken the time to shave, so he had a bit more stubble than normal. He also looked flustered and flushed from having rushed to work, and people were stunned to see him late in general. Or... it could have been the hickies on his neck. Reed had done his best to hide them through clothing choices, but there was really no covering the marks unless he resorted to makeup, and that was something he simply refused to do. He'd rather be teased.
As soon as Reed spotted Alex, he rushed up to her with an apologetic look on his face. His tone expressed just how sorry he was. "I promise, this will never happen again. You have my word. It shouldn't have happened at all. I'm so sorry."
