━━ CLOSED STARTER FOR @mutuallycursed .
IT SEEMED AS IF THE NIGHT HAD DRAGGED ON AND ON . there was no denying he loved his job, anyone would be able to see that, but sometimes even a job you enjoyed had its moments. a tough service was a tough service. the only thing he really wanted in this exact moment was to get up to his apartment and collapse onto the bed. a desire that only heightened as eyes settled upon the open doors of the elevator the moment he stepped into the apartment’s lobby. but the spark of relief he’d felt, slowly started to fade as he watched said open doors start to close, and though a quick, “ hold it, ” was called, his pace quickened and it only took a few lengthened strides for him to slip a hand between the closing doors, halting them in their tracks and forcing them open once more. but the last step that was needed to cross into the elevator hesitated as his focus settled upon the lone inhabitant of the elevator.
as dark eyes fell upon emerald ones within moments the corners of his lips tugged upwards, ridding his features of all previous harsh edges. not entirely the quick and mindless run up to his apartment he’d hoped for but she was always a welcomed sight, for many reasons. “ hey, —— you don’t mind do you ? ” a gestured into the elevator was given, just in case company wasn’t exactly what she’d wanted. but he hoped the offer of him waiting for the next would be waved, and not simply because he didn’t want to have to wait.
