A little snort escaped the smaller man.

“Oh, I kinda do. You think I would know you for over twenty years and not be able to tell when you’re pretty much about to lose it? I’d be a shitty friend if I couldn’t read you like an open book,” And that, for the most part, was true. While he could often tell how his friend was feeling by how her acted, he typically didn’t act on it unless it was really important. 

For now, he wouldn’t release the hug, and instead kept it going. He guessed it was good that no one was there, else this be a little on the awkward side of things. Even then, he wasn’t sure if he’d care if anyone witnessed their sometimes “too long” hugs.

“But, yeah… I really needed this, too,” To him, it felt a little weird. He didn’t really wanna let go of Rhys, out of some irrational fear that it may end up being their last time hugging like this. That may have been one way Pandora ended up changing him for the worse: knowing full well that any day could be his last, instead of being able to ignore that clear possibility.

        “Why don’t we hug more often?” it slips out before the ceo can shut the thought down, but it isn’t that strange for him to say, and it’s not like vaughn will think badly of him for asking. rhys turns his head just a fraction of an inch to pull away, and finds his lips brushing against vaughn’s hair on accident.

        it seems like a good time to finally let go of his friend, though it’s more like rhys jerks back with vigor before things get even MORE weird. he loathes losing the warmth and safety vaughn’s arms and body provide. so quickly, coldness swathes the room now that he and the shorter male aren’t knit so closely together, a chill forcing itself over his skin in a way rhys wishes could be avoided. 

        it can be, he supposes, but he doesn’t think vaughn would be down for constant hugging. people might start to think ODDLY of them if they were hugging all the time, not that rhys cares. he cares more about vaughn’s feelings than anything else, but he doesn’t want to... jesus, he doesn’t know? weird vaughn out? with the clearing of his throat comes a fresh wave of awkward feelings that rhys would love to pinpoint, if only he could. 

        “Sorry about -- - that. I wasn’t trying to, it just happened when I was pulling away? I wasn’t paying enough attention to how close my mouth was to the top of your head, I guess.”

“Not gonna lie, I’m kinda proud of me for that, too. Didn’t think I’d be able to manage it, but here I am!” Looking ten times rougher than he had been before, but hey. No one ever really looked good when truly lived on Pandora. 

The mention of the hug almost immediately had Vaughn just about launching himself forward to wrap his arms around his best friend. It was always a little awkward, considering the massive height difference between them, but nothing a little tip-toe action couldn’t fix. Before they’d reunited, the last time they’d hugged had been they were still at that weird Atlas biodome, when he’d kinda gone off with a fit of insecurity, and had needed Rhys’s comforting words.

So like he’d needed Rhys’s words back then, Vaughn had kind of needed this hug again after reflecting on all the changes they’d gone through. 

        “I feel like you could do just about anything you set your mind to at this point-- -”

        it doesn’t take long at all for rhys to find himself with two arms full of vaughn, immediately wrapping the much shorter male in a tight, warm embrace as he flings himself at rhys. against the crown of vaughn’s head, rhys’ cheeks finds itself a nice little resting place, arms fitting snugly under vaughn’s and around his torso. rhys won’t pretend that he hasn’t been STARVING for affection like this for a long time, because it would be pathetic to admit how badly he misses hugging vaughn anytime they’re not. what can he say? vaughn gives awesome hugs.

        “I really needed this, like you have no idea.”

        physical affirmation that everything is fine takes a load off of rhys, and he’s all but melting into vaughn’s hold. he’s REALLY lucky to have had vaughn through ( almost ) all of this, even better that things are finally not as hectic seeing as there aren’t any psychotic assholes chasing them all around pandora, or any corporate clowns cheating them out of what’s rightfully theirs. he could easily stay like this all day, right here in this moment. 

        seriously, how did he get such an incredible bestest bro?

Vaughn ended up gently rubbing the palm of his hand against his newly sore hand. It hadn’t gotten him that bad, but that contact between robotics and flesh didn’t exactly feel good. And it definitely wasn’t something Vaughn had never done before. He might’ve just been a little forgetful in moments like this.

He raised his head to look up at Rhys again while he spoke, still absently rubbing at his poor hand. 

There was absolutely going to be a lot of visits between the two of them, and probably talks through comms. After finally finding each other, after all, it wasn’t like they were just going to fully leave each other alone, even while they were busy with their own things. Thinking about it, Vaughn would definitely need to think of regular times when he’d be able to visit. He supposed he could always take on an adviser to take care of smaller things, but that always led to evil shit in movies, so maybe not.

“I wouldn’t doubt it,” Vaughn agreed. “It’ll take a lot of work, but this is your element. I have no doubt that you’d be able to make all of this stuff great.” It did make him feel content to see Rhys so excited about all of this, another soft smile appearing over his face just at the sight of his best friend’s enthusiasm. “Like… it might be weird to say, but I’m actually super proud of you for starting all of this yourself. ‘Cause we sorta had to cheat a lot to get you up to where you almost were at in Hyperion, but now you’re actually starting things up for Atlas again legitimately! I guess we did kinda learn our lesson from all of the bullshit we went through at the beginning of all of this.”

        rhys' teasing comment about being proud of the two of them felt nothing like ACTUALLY hearing vaughn say that he was specifically proud of rhys. a flush comes over him and he ducks his head, scratching at the back of his neck in sheepish nature. very few people have ever been truly proud of rhys, and there is an even fewer list of people who have verbally communicated as much. in fact, it may have... just been vaughn.

        “Thanks, Vaughn.” his friend is RIGHT, though. rhys has made a lot of really shitty, really regrettable mistakes, especially lately, but this thing he’s doing here with atlas isn’t one of them. there have been no ( metaphorical and literal ) backs to be stabbed ;; it’s just been rhys and a few remaining sane pandoran people, rebuilding once former glory from scratch. it is a lot to be proud of, but mostly he’s just flustered because VAUGHN is so proud of him.

        “I’m definitely proud of you too, you know. For finding your own way out here on this hellish wasteland of a planet, with no one to guide you. Just...” he almost says ‘ you’re a better man than i am, ‘ but the words catch in his throat as he rights his posture again. vaughn doesn’t need any more of his angst than rhys has already delivered. soft edges of his mouth lift into a smile to resemble vaughn’s, and rhys can’t stop himself from saying the next thing out of his mouth. “I feel like we should hug now. A really long, really sappy hug.”

my aesthetic: the faces rhys makes when he’s hugging vaughn

[cybernetikal-blog]

wideeyedwanderers:

Now that he thought about it, he guessed that Rhys was right.  It always had been the plan to get Rhys to the top of Hyperion, and thus him and Yvette to the top. That hadn’t gone as well as they’d initially hoped for, but it worked out, nonetheless. At least they weren’t completely miserable working under completely dickwads constantly anymore.

“It– well it does feel right. You, the head of a company. Me, the… uh, I guess I’m kinda a leader. Still not sure how all of that happened. It feels like a weird dream, one that I definitely didn’t see coming.” Never in a million years would he thought of himself as the type to teach people how to survive out in a place like Pandora, or to be anything more than just an accountant. A constant nerd with no end to that hell.

“Until things really start falling into place, I’ll just have to make a lot of trips over here, I guess. Gotta make sure you’re not completely useless without me doing the number crunching for you,” Vaughn teased, and gave Rhys a friendly punch to the side of the arm. …Until he quickly realized that he chose the wrong arm to be doing that with, and immediately regretted it as his knuckle made contact with the cybernetic arm. 

        “Dude, I don’t think either of us ever could have seen this coming. Not just you being a bandit on Pandora, but any of it. The cross planet adventure, Handsome Jack coming back, the vault -- - all of it was just so out of left field. Honestly I’m super proud of us for surviving through everything. Go team Rhys and Vaughn.”

        it doesn’t make him a bad friend for laughing at vaughn’s expense when a very human hand meets a very metal arm. just a low, quiet snicker, the flesh hand giving vaughn’s arm a consoling pat. for a second, rhys considers taking vaughn’s hand and running his thumb over the sore knuckles, except... what? he swerves on that thought super fast, easily chalking it up to anxious nerves and how desperately he’d missed vaughn.

        weird shit definitely happens when your best friend was dead, except then he wasn’t dead at all, and now he’s the bandit overlord to a bunch of your former coworkers.

        “Seriously, come by whenever -- - you’re always welcome here. I’ll give you a tour of the facilities once I’m done with the cleaning and the remodels. They’re pretty impressive, actually. It’s no floating spacecraft, but Atlas is awesome. It’s gonna be better than Jack or Hyperion ever was.”

@cybernetikal | “starter call”

“Ah! There you are!” Throwing out his hands, Jack’s face broke out in a grin at the sight of the man, pleased to have found him by all accounts. Flanked by two members of Hyperion staff, he takes the other’s flesh hand without invitation, shaking it firmly as he and the other employees surround Rhys.    “So good to see you here! Rice, was it? Reice? Dammit, I hope I’m not getting that wrong.”

Temporarily distracted, a vigorous shake of head clears his thoughts, allowing him to focus on the true purpose behind this meeting. “Shall we take this elsewhere? I’m sure we have much to discuss.”

        despite this meeting being on his agenda for the better portion of the last week, rhys is still gobstopped that before him stands the man of legend, the guy whose face paints the walls of his small office ( the posters are hyperion issued, cut him some slack ). words seize up in rhys’ throat as jack takes his hand and shakes it with real force, and he’s so in awe that he doesn’t even mind that jack has no idea what his name even is.

        “It’s Rhys.” he says, voice totally distracted. his face is covered with an expression of blatant adoration, the smile unwavering, wide eyes betraying all of his inner excitement. like a kid at his very first candy store, rhys is overjoyed. “We have -- - right, things. To discuss. Uh, not to be a burden, Jack, sir, but my -- - my boss didn’t exactly tell me what you wanted with me. Just that you wanted to talk about something important. Obviously important. It’s not everyday Handsome Jack needs to speak with you, right? Haha. Ha.”

wideeyedwanderers:

Vaughn couldn’t help but send the clearly taller of the two a look of unsureness as he’d initially heard Rhys’s plans for him. No words came to him before Rhys himself was able to reflect on just how creepy that sounded. A bit of an awkward smile graced the smaller man’s features, and he nodded his head in agreement.

“Oh, yeah, just a little.” That was one hell of an understatement, but he’d probably heard weirder things from his personal partner in crime. That being said, Vaughn could understand the sentiment. After such an exceptionally long time being apart, he didn’t exactly find himself in such a hurry to get back to his duties as leader. Despite loving the life of it, he dreaded the thought of having to leave Rhys’s side again. 

“Yeah –” He agreed in earnest, smiling largely up at Rhys. “We’ve been with each other through thick and thin. And I’m pretty sure we’ve been together for even longer than my parents were before they divorced. Pretty sure we probably would’ve been common law married by now if we were on Earth,” Okay, Vaughn. Stop talking.

“I guess it’ll just be weird, not working together with you too much anymore. Unless you want some really short and buff bandit king as a part-time security guard once you get Atlas back on its feet.”

        “I think you just proposed to me, but I’m not sure.” rhys laughs good-naturedly at his joke, not sure why he chooses to make it, but it’s not like he can take it back, now. it’s out there, and as long as he barrels on there’s nothing awkward about it. at least it’s no worse than toying with the idea of putting a chip inside of vauhn’s body to constantly keep an eye on him. jesus, all this action-adventure has really messed rhys up. 

        “You could be my personal body guard now that I’m painting a giant target on my back, huh?” something warm nestles itself in rhys’ chest, and the waning mirth on his face goes soft. this is what he means when he says he’ll be okay as long as vaughn is around: vaughn always makes the bad stuff better. he chases away the darkness inside of rhys, not that rhys could ever verbally acknowledge that he HAS darkness. 

        vaughn has always been rhys’ number one. no amount of distance separating them is going to change that. constants, remember?

        “It’s gonna suck not having you around to do business with, but I guess this was always the end goal, right?” he reaches out to clasp vaughn’s shoulder, squeezing it gently before his hand falls lax, slipping down to grip his friend’s upper arm, warm over his bicep. “The two of us having our own places at the top of the food chain. We’re kings, Vaughn. Right now we might have broken kingdoms, but pretty soon everything is gonna fall into place. And when stuff really gets going for Atlas, I’ll be here all the time to be with you. To see what you’re doing with all the people from Helios, and just because I enjoy your company. Or whatever.”

        ( is any of this weird?? are they weird for being this codependent?? because it feels normal. )

omfg, yesssss. they’ve probably done some really funny/elaborate stuff with em, too. i just imagine them going to halloween parties together as, like, obscure characters that no one even knows about but they’ve gone completely all out and think they’re so cool and clever. babies.
