Mackhunter + "I don't want to cry/I'm bad at goodbye/If this is the last time"

Hi, love! Thank you for the prompt, hope you enjoy this bit!

“Are you sure you have to leave?”

Mack makes a pause. It isn’t uncommon for Hunter to complain that they don’t get enough time together and while Mack agrees to some extent, he also knows most of the time Hunter isn’t truly serious Or better yet: Hunter feels that way but doesn’t believe the solution is for either Mack or him to leave their jobs, and he has learned to live with it the same way Mack himself has. But somehow this time feels different, maybe because it’s early enough that it technically could still be called “late”, maybe because Hunter still has pillow marks on his cheeks and bed hair, but his voice comes out softer than Mack has heard it besides moments of great intimacy, and it clutches Mack’s heart and doesn’t let it go.

“A mission is a mission, isn’t it?” Mack tries to use a lighthearted tone, but it doesn’t come out too natural for him. You feel everything too deeply for that, Hunter would say and he is not wrong.

Hunter shrugs and the fact that he doesn’t even try to pretend that his worries are nonchalant makes Mack’s hairs stand on end.

“I guess. I just had a bad dream, that’s all.”

Mack leaves his duffel bag on top of the table to press Hunter against his chest. Bobbi will make fun of him for being late (and she will be chillingly right about the reasons, too), but the Iliad won’t leave without his Chief Engineer in tow and nothing else is more important than reassuring the person he loves, especially if they are going to spend time apart.

“Hey, babe, it’s going to be just a couple of weeks. You need to leave yourself next week either way.”

“I know.” Hunter buries his face on Mack’s chest, and it brings a bitter aftertaste to his mouth. It is routine, their jobs have them in constant rotation and those shifts don’t often overlap. Why is Hunter this upset and why does his reaction give Mack this much dread? “I know. I just…”

He waits several seconds, but Hunter doesn’t seem to have a clear answer either, so instead, Mack just tightens the embrace and wills the somber feelings away. 

“Me too.”

Hunter: Oh, you made it. Thank god! I was praying for you.

Mack:

Mack: Don't give me that shit? You were gonna leave me?

Hunter: ...you said, "save yourself."

Mack: I said, "Go," but I didn't mean without me!

Mack:

Hunter: You said, "Go save yourself." And I was gonna carry you with me in my heart like an eternal flame, you stupid complainer.

AU August Day 13 - Tattoo AU

All Mack wanted was to cover up a tattoo mistake. So he went to the most recommended artist in town: Lance Hunter. Hunter had a great idea, and the more time they spent together the closer they got. Can a tattoo lead to romance?
