Things hadn't really improved too much other than they were all back in the capitol and they knew a little more about their situation; not much by a long run, but some. Not enough to make them feel any better.

It had gotten a little overwhelming even for Jet so one night, he grabbed a snack from the kitchens, took Albert by the hand with only a 'come with me' and dragged them to the elevator. Any possible questions or looks from his partner were ignored until Jet could push open the door to the roof.

Once there, the blond led the older man to the edge and set the snacks there, knowing the force field around the place would stop them from falling. He gestured to the sight of the lit up city below. "It's nice, isn't it? All things considered. But, better than that, is this."

He tugged Albert to turn away from the city and look up towards the sky where thousands of small pinpricks of light broke the inky black of the night sky.

Comments

He didn't know it until it came from Albert's lips, but that last statement was something he'd needed to hear, something he'd been needing to hear for quite some time.

Jet's free hand moved to cup the back of Albert's neck and pulled him into another long and deep kiss, full of his own emotions and silent gratitude for those words.

When he finally pulls away, his face nearly lights up with the smile that forms. "You're an idiot." He only curls into his partner more.

He's silent, perfectly content to just sit there like some sap curled up with his fiance, but it was still cold out and, now that he was human again, he at least was still prone to getting cold quickly. A small shiver ran through him as he lightly nudged the older man. "Maybe we should take this back inside...unfortunately, it probably isn't so good an idea to stay out here all night."

He's not sure what exactly he said to spark such a reaction but Albert wishes he knew so he could continue to do it. "How am I an idiot?"

He's baffled, but he can't stop smiling regardless, lips tingling - no, the whole of him tingling in the cool night air just because of the man at his side. "Mm, are you cold?"

That's also baffling, a little. Jet used to be a furnace, radiating warmth because of his fuel production systems and other cybernetics under what was more flesh than metal. Even with a fully human body Albert finds Jet's skin is still generally warmer to the touch than his own, but now that they're relying on actual circulatory systems, the American's hands do seem a little chilly. His own probably are too, but he's so used to it he doesn't notice. "Let's go inside, then."

Albert presses a kiss to Jet's cheek and stands, offering his arm down to help Jet up soon after.

Jet smiles up at him before taking hold of his partner's arm and using it to balance as he stood. As soon as he was on his feet, he leaned down to press their lips together. It was chaste and simple, something he'd done simply because he wanted to kiss the German and never stop.

His hand found one of Albert's and tucked them both into his coat pocket as a smirk played at his lips and he lead them back inside.
