The beauty in a little relaxation: Jaith, 1.5k. A lot of fluff.
For @Sweetpoetrymeme for the @jeith-exchange!
James isn’t an idiot, and he isn’t easily swayed by his boyfriend’s lies of being “just fine” either.
It’s quite easy to tell, really. From the way he storms out of meetings the second they’re dismissed, or the way he bumps into innocent cadets without even muttering a “sorry”.
James is too busy to do much about it- he wants to help his boyfriend, sure, but he’s still an MFE. Iverson always wants them to train, Sam insists on teaching safety measures over and over again, and Veronica is scolding them for slacking off at least a little bit.
They’re both stressed, in truth.
It isn’t until James finds Keith on his datapad, looking over mission briefings at two am that he decides he has to take a stand.
