(Dependent Matt Bragg Roleplay Blog) Hacker, Eye in the Sky, Not sure how to Gun

[Aggressively ignores the Pre Fourth of July celebrations with noise-cancelling headphones]

rimmytimd:

I dunno…there’s some weird Twilight bullshit going on. [Arms come to wrap around Matt’s shoulders from behind.]

As long as I don’t start sparkling, I’m good. 

[He leans back into the touch on reflex]

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

…..You’re fucking old.

[He doesn’t miss a beat] 

How does it feel being married to an ancient man?

[haxmatt]

[Quiet hacking noises and mumbling]

[haxmatt]

Will the four of you just... Stay in a straight line for thirty seconds. I only need thirty seconds. C’mon, it’s for your Dad’s birthday just- stay. [He sighs as the cats continue to struggle away from the couch and catches Arya as she tries to bolt again.] You’re making this birthday present way harder than it has to be, you know...

rimmytimd:

[There’s a long pause before he’s pulling his hand back from his pocket, stance shifting as if he’s getting bored of being stood in the same place. Now knowing the location of the camera in this area he holds his hand a little further out so that the camera could see it, as he responds to Caleb once again.] I’m starting to get the feeling I might be out later than expected.

No, you can wait two minutes Arya. We’ve got to check on Jeremy. [Matt scoops Arya’s claws out of his pajama pants with a casual, practiced movement and sits down in his desk chair, skipping past the black screen of the building Jeremy had obviously finished with and frowning at losing the connection there. He’ll have to find something else. It doesn’t take too long- a lot of businesses in the area are already on his servers; they’re in the territory, they need looking after. It could be as simple as a bit of traffic...]

[Or it’s an unidentified man holding up Jeremy’s progress; one who quickly becomes identified with a slight turn of the head] Oh, dammit... Don’t get me fired, you late fuck.

rimmytimd:

“Everywhere.” He murmurs softly then, slowly moving to sit up to lean against Matt’s side comfortably.

“Now you’re just being silly.” 

Matt rolls his eyes and shifts to lean against Jeremy in return, pulling out his phone to glance at delivery options. He sets it in his lap so Jeremy can see, too. “Getting everything from everywhere would take too long.”

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“Not doing anything is….always the best choice.” He hums softly as he nuzzles Matt again. Pressing a kiss to his stomach then he smiles. “We could buy everything.”

"See? That’s why I said not to bother when I got home and you wanted to do stuff.” Matt says, pushing at Jeremy’s face when he kisses his stomach. “Weirdo. But everything sounds really good. I mean, depending on where we get the everything delivered from.”

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“Of course you’d want to make your cat in the game.” He rolls his eyes a little, shifting to lay on his side then before nuzzling at his stomach slightly. “We should get take-out.”

Matt nods, smirking. “If it’s gotta be a cat, I want it to be my cat.”

Jeremy shifts and Matt finally stops petting Arya, he can feel her getting antsy on the arm of the couch. She bites his elbow for abandoning her and then hops off and down, probably off to go hijack the water dish. Matt focuses on setting his hand on Jeremy’s neck and rubbing there a little. “We should get take out.” Matt agrees. “Then we don’t have to do anything but get the door.”

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“There’s always room for video games.” He hums softly, watching as his fingers run through Matt’s hair gently. For the meantime, he’s simply admiring the hacker.

"Good, cause Monster Hunter is supposed to be good and I want to make Arya my cat in-game.”

Laughing, Matt lets Jeremy do as he pleases. After days of bending over desks and laptops and scanners he has no problem leaving over his husband on a comfortable couch with no work to do. He’s not going to bend all the way down to try and kiss his forehead, but the sentiment is there in the back of his head.

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“Cuddles…kisses…general relationship stuff.” He shrugs then as he reaches up to gently play with Matt’s hair.

Matt leans down a little to make it easier for Jeremy to reach his hair; it could probably use a trim again, but he likes to hide the awkward rough patch from the scarring in his beard with the longer hair. The color has washed out of the ends; it might be worth a dye-job if he’s up to it soon. “Sounds nice to me.” He says, happily. “Video Games too?”

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“Okay good. You need to fill in on your ‘husband’ quota now.” He mumbles as he moves onto his back to look up at Matt.

"What’s part of the husband quota?” Matt asks, trying to figure out if there’s an actual obligation he has to make sure is met. “Is there paperwork? I don’t wanna do any more paperwork right now.” He looks down at Jeremy and smiles, seeing him looking up at him.

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“They better leave you alone for a week…it’s my turn to have you now.” He murmurs, nuzzling into Matt’s lap gently. He’s definitely missed the man, there’s no lying about that at all. It’s nice to just have the two of them, relaxed together.

Matt gives a little laugh, dropping a hand onto Jeremy’s head to match the one he has buried in Arya’s fur. “Yeah I’m all yours.” He agrees. “I don’t wanna leave the house for at least two weeks. I have fulfilled my ‘outside world’ quota for quite a while.”

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“I don’t see why they can’t do it themselves I mean, apart from Jack I’m pretty sure none of them actually do anything outside of the crew. It’s not like they don’t have the time to deal with it themselves— but I guess that puts you out of the job then..” He tuts as he shifts to lay down.

“I dunno sometimes they just seem to make some things so convoluted, don’t you think? It’s strange.”

“And I’d rather not be out of a job, even with as much as you’ve been making lately. Besides; having literally any of them doing their own taxes would make a nightmare for the crew. Can you imagine?”

Matt sits down on the couch just as Jeremy starts to lay down, so he sets Arya against the arm of the couch and continues to pet her while Jeremy’s head winds up in his lap. “It’s a fucking mess all the time.” Matt agrees with a shrug. “But that’s how the crew is. And it’s only once a year, anyway. They should leave me alone for a week without bringing up the next hair-brained scheme I’ve gotta try and get al the pieces for.”

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“You sure–? I mean…it won’t take too long and then we have the rest of the day but….whatever.” He shrugs slightly before smiling. He’ll pull away then only to slowly make his way back to the couch, stretching as he does so. “Anything interesting happen or was it all crunching numbers?”

Matt follows Jeremy without any question, carrying Arya like a baby while she rolls in his arms and continues to purr. She’ll be pleasant for another few hours at least, he expects. He’s learned that she’s glad that he’s alive whenever he disappears for a few days at a time; it was worse a few years ago. After the fire. He’d rather not focus on that memory, so talking about work is much preferred.

“It was mostly number crunching, as usual.” He admits. “But they tried to audit one of the laundering ops so I got to reroute the IRS which is always-” He makes a noise that understandably equal parts angered and affronted. “-So it took longer than I expected to get through the business side of things. And then I had to make sure each of the crew had a W-2 to match their stupid fake jobs and there’s always new people so I had to make two new businesses again.” 

[haxmatt]

rimmytimd:

“Good because I think it’s about time I have my husband back so…” He murmurs as an arm goes around the taller man’s waist. Letting out a small sigh then he lets his forehead rest against him for a moment, before he returns the kiss softly.

“Do you want food? Anything I can get you..? If you go sit down I’ll take your stuff into your room..”

Matt takes what Jeremy will give him, glad for the attention after a few weeks of minimal contact. Sure, Matt’s been home for some of his work bust he’s been pretty busy through all of it, focused on his computer and records and on sleeping, occasionally. He’d feel worse about leaving Jeremy to his own devices if he didn’t know that he’s been busy with his own things on and off, and that he’s pretty used to Matt’s work taking his time up for long periods at a time. They’ve known each other far too long. “That seems fair. You can have me. You gotta share with Arya, though.”

Laughing at making Jeremy share with the cat, Matt hums at the thought of food but ultimately decides he’s got other priorities. “I ate earlier; and my stuff isn’t gonna get hurt sitting over there a little while.” He’s much happier having Jeremy close right now, anyway.

Coming to lean in the hallway leading from the door, Jeremy smiles a little at the sight of the cats surrounding Matt. Running a hand through his hair he yawns before Matt starts to walk towards him. Leaning into the kiss gently he hums before leaning gently against Matt. “…You’re home?”

“I’m home.” Matt agrees. Jeremy leans against him and Matt feels the warmth of him all up and down his side. That’s the moment he finally feels like he’s home, and he can say as much. “Everything’s all done. I finished the last ‘legit’ business stuff this morning. Everyone should have their tax shit in their email or on paper or whatever they usually ask for. And I’m home.” And hopefully not asked to do anything else for at least a week; Matt is beat.

In a rare moment of peace Arya hasn’t started swinging her claws at Jeremy just yet, so Matt takes the time to lean against him in return and give him another kiss.
