Vic [Wednesday Morning]
Sophie - as their assigned simulated infant was inevitably called - was both a very practical creature, and an artist of chaos theory. Just when Noah thought he had her schedule down she would change things on him. Even attempting to calculate all the known variables usually left his numbers off by a good 60 minutes. Which was frustrating and challenging all at once.

It was also the reason he was soothing a squalling mass of sophisticated artificial intelligence at four-thirty in the morning in Victor's room. They'd learned fairly early into the project Victor did not respond well to being awoken to cater to Sophie's needs. So Noah had taken to sleeping in the spare bed - as Victor currently did not have a roommate - to spare the hinges on the doors in getting to her as quickly as possible.

Vic didn't even really manage to wake up, despite the squalling, in the time it took Noah to get out of bed, get Sophie out of the bassinet, and start pacing the room in an attempt to soothe her. In nothing but his boxers. Because that was just how Vic's life went, apparently.

Yawning, he pushed himself up onto his elbows, torn between enjoying the view - and holy shit, what a view - and being irritable as fuck at getting woken up. Again. "Graaargh," he groaned, part complaint and part jaw-cracking yawn. "Why can't they pass these things out old enough to sleep through the damned night?"

	"It'd be true to my need for enough sleep to not become a homicidal maniac," Vic pointed out, trying to keep his gaze on Noah's face - stubbly, damn - and the baby in his arms, and now where his boxers rode obscenely low on his hips and left nothing to the imagination.

	"Hey, y'never know," Vic protested mildly. "I could go turn this place into a blood bath any minute now. Really." He grinned outright, even if he still wasn't anywhere near awake. Mostly because Noah was actually smiling, which just didn't happen all that often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Do not listen to him, Sophie," he told the artificial infant, patting its pampered bottom. "He is not yet fully awake." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vic's smile turned into another yawn, and from there into a startled laugh. "Yeah, your daddy's right, Soph," he confirmed, rolling onto his side and propping his head up on his hand so he could keep watching - not staring, just watching - as Noah paced the room with her. No imagination his ass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why Victor chose to give designations to their roles in their project still caused Noah some confusion. Though, it seemed to be common practice amongst the student body. He paced up the wall, drawing Sophie closer as they crossed the ceiling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Vic flopped over onto his back again so he could track Noah's progress...and then kind of wished he hadn't. Because apparently upside down Noah, still rumpled from bed and mostly naked, was even more distracting than Noah standing on the floor. It took him the entire length of Noah's path across the ceiling to stop just staring.

"Um, Noah?" he finally managed, maybe just a little choked. But he really wasn't awake yet. "You try changing her or feeding her yet?" Because usually she settled faster for the whole ceiling thing, and her little face was still red and one tiny fist was flailing as she cried.

	"She did not need to be changed," he replied, stepping off the wall back onto the floor. He looked down at her. "She should not require feeding yet." He gave her a stern look for resetting her parameters once again before crossing the room and setting her in Victor's lap. Acquiring a bottle from the dresser top, he wandered into the bathroom.

Vic managed to push himself up to sitting just as Noah loomed over him and deposited Sophie in his lap. Which was so not an appropriate spot for a baby under the circumstances, so he quickly lifted her and cradled her carefully in the crook of one arm.

"Hey, baby girl," he murmured, rocking just a little and watching Noah's retreating back as he headed into the bathroom with the bottle. "You need to shush and let us get back to sleep, or I just might turn into a homicidal maniac."

	"He will not," Noah said from the bathroom over the rush of water. "Do not commit any processing to his statement." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah, he's still right," Vic admitted, shifting his attention back to Sophie now that Noah was safely out of sight for the moment. "I'll be really tired and take shitty notes in class tomorrow, though," he amended, bending to rub his nose against Sophie's, smiling sleepily despite her continued crying. "And then my grades'll tank and it'll be all your fault, no matter how damned cute you are."

Vic jumped, startling Sophie into a fresh bout of louder wailing. "Shit, Noah, let a guy know you're coming instead of sneaking around all ninja...y," he mumbled, grimacing and lifting Sophie to rest against his shoulder so he could pat her back soothingly. And stare directly at Noah's chiseled abs which were, inconveniently enough, right at eye level as Noah stood by his bed. He very pointedly did not let himself look any lower.

He kind of missed the bottle at first, given his attention was...elsewhere. He noticed it after a moment, though, and flushed as he grabbed it with his 'normal' hand while he adjusted Sophie into an appropriate feeding position with the other. "Look at that, Daddy brought you a middle of the fucking night snack, baby girl," Vic murmured, voice never leaving its soothing - if sleepy - cadence while he offered her the bottle. "Now please eat it and go the hell back to sleep so we can too."

	Vic made a dismissive noise. "She doesn't understand any of it, she just likes being talked to," he pointed out. "Just like a real baby. It's all about the tone of voice, not what you're actually saying." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah, well, she's probably getting a memory wipe next week anyway," he answered, surprised that he actually felt a little regretful at the thought. The crying had stopped as she sucked dutifully away on her bottle, and Vic's shoulders eased down, tension draining away in the silence.

"Will you sit down?" he asked Noah when he looked up again, because it was just way too damned hard - heh, hard - to avoid looking at the guy's crotch when he was standing right there in front of him in nothing but boxers that didn't do jack to conceal his still lingering morning wood. And really, shouldn't that be gone by now? "Or, I dunno, go back to bed. Or something that's not looming over me." With your dick practically in my face.

	"If you are awake enough to see Sophie safely settled to sleep, I will go take a shower." Adjusting to Sophie's schedule was throwing his seriously out of balance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vic yawned again just at the thought of getting up that early, just barely managing to turn his head away to keep from yawning at...well, at Noah's belly, or dick, or whatever, since he was still looming. "That is just disturbing, Noah," he answered when he turned back. "The sun's not even up at four. The birds probably aren't even up at four." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
