Mel & Ben & Javi + This is why we can’t have nice things

From here.

“This is why we can’t have nice things,” Javi groaned exasperatedly, leaning back against Melanie’s desk and closing his eyes.

“What is?” Melanie blinked in confusion.

Javi’s eyes opened and he gave her a mildly annoyed look as he gestured between her and Bennett, “Every time we’ve tried to have a game night, the two of you inevitably end up helping each other. Or Bennett throws the game in your favor. Can’t we just play normally for once?”

Bennett frowned, “I didn’t realize, Javi. I’m sorry.”

“Wow,” Javi gave him an incredulous look, “The two of you don’t even know that you share the same brain. Amazing. Truly.”

Melanie rolled her eyes, leaning back against her bunk, “I don’t want to fight tonight, please. I’m exhausted.”

“Go to sleep then,” Bennett’s voice was soft, and Javi watched him brush some hair out of Melanie’s face.

Melanie shook her head, “Nope. I’m good. It’s been too long since I had fun, or spent any amount of time with Javi.”

“You can go to bed, Mel,” Javi kicked out a foot to poke her in her leg, “Seriously. It’s getting concerning.”

“Thank you,” Bennett said to him.

Melanie glared at them both, slightly petulant, “That’s not fair.”

Bennett didn’t answer, instead wrapping an arm around her shoulders to pull her into him. Against her will, her eyes fluttered closed as a wave of fatigue hit her all at once.

“I’m not taking the helm tonight though,” Javi said, “As soon as she’s asleep, we’re trading off.”

“I am right here you know,” she huffed, voice muffled slightly by Bennett’s shoulder where her face rested against it now, “I can hear you both, and I’m not a fucking child.”

“We know you’re not, Mel,” Bennett’s voice was soothing, and he brushed his mouth against the top of her head.

“Right, so,” Javi took that as his cue to leave, “Try not to take more than an hour.”

“You have the train,” Melanie mumbled, already beginning to drift off.

“I have the train,” Javi sighed, shaking his head resignedly and leaving.

Family was a complicated thing, he mused.

the engineers + 2 <33

From here. Going to also tag @aflawedfashion since I combined your prompts a bit (she gave me the same number for Melanie and Javi).

They sat on the floor of Melanie’s room, the remains of their dinner around them. It’d been a while since they’d all spent time together, and she was happy that they’d managed to find time to do so tonight. 

“This is really nice,” she sighed contentedly as she rested her head on Bennett’s shoulder. 

“It is,” he murmured in agreement, absently turning to brush a kiss to the top of her head. 

Javi shot them a look; Melanie frowned a little in response to it, lifting her head slightly and asking, “What?”

“Nothing,” he shook his head, “The two of you are just doing it again.”

“Doing what again?” Bennett’s brow furrowed in confusion. 

“Getting lost in your own little world,” Javi clarified; he hated the insecurity in his voice. 

“Javi,” Melanie shook her head a little, mildly exasperated, “You’re family. All three of us, we’re a family now. You’re not excluded from that.”

Bennett nodded sagely, “It’s true. We will hunt you down if you try to abandon this family.”

Javi rolled his eyes, “Has anyone ever told you guys how exhausting you are?”

Melanie kicked him playfully in the shin, narrowing her eyes at him, “Don’t pretend you don’t love us. You’re tearing this family apart.”

Javi did his best to suppress a smile at that, “I think I’m the only smart one in this family though.”

“Hey!” Bennett protested; Melanie just laughed. 

“Look,” Javi held up his hands in a placating gesture, “The two of you are always up to some bullshit. It’s not my fault I’m the only sane one left.”

“Dick,” Melanie huffed, poking him in the leg again. 

Bennett and Javi couldn’t help laughing at that, and Melanie smiled in response. None of them had expected to have a family again after the freeze, but they were all glad to have been wrong. 

Nights like this reminded them of that.

21 with the three engineers and Layton, please!

From here.

“Oh, no,” Melanie’s eyes widened as she shook her head, “Sorry, but no.”

“Melanie, please,” Layton dropped what he was holding onto the engine floor, “You’re my only hope.”

Javi and Bennett exchanged glances, silently debating whether or not to get involved in whatever the hell was happening. 

“Just because I had a kid doesn’t mean that I know anything about that,” she gestured wildly to the standard issue crib set Snowpiercer had given him, its parts scattered about haphazardly now, “Oh no. I took one look at the instructions on how to build Allie’s, and conveniently forgot to set it up until I was ready to pop and someone else had to do it for me. No.”

Bennett took one look at the desperation on Layton’s face and tentatively offered, “I can try my hand at it, if you’d like.”

Layton shot him a relieved look, “Yes. Please, yes.”

Bennett nodded, getting up and making his way cautiously to the pile, wondering how the hell it was meant to be assembled into anything resembling a crib. 

                                                               ~

At some point, Javi had joined Bennett and Layton on the floor. Melanie alternated between watching out the helm’s window and turning the chair to watch the others, an amused expression on her face every time she did so. 

“You could give us a hand you know,” Bennett said at one point, meeting her eyes. 

She smirked, “I’m good here.”

“You just like watching us suffer,” Javi grumbled. 

“Hey,” she put up her hands placatingly, “The three of you seem to have this, but if I’m wrong about that…”

“Someone should probably be driving the train,” Layton chimed in in an attempt to keep the peace; the other men glared at him. 

Melanie, delighted, shot him an approving smile, “Thank you for that.”

“At least help us carry it back to his quarters later,” Javi begged as she turned to face the window again. 

“I’ll see if my schedule’s clear,” she retorted without looking back at them. 

Bennett caught Javi’s eye and they exchanged a look, Layton glancing between them for a moment trying to understand what was being said. Before he could ask, however, Bennett was standing. He watched the lanky man put a finger to his mouth to preemptively shush him; when satisfied that Layton would be quiet, Bennett slowly crept up behind Melanie. 

He leaned down, whispering something in her ear and jumping back when she flew out of her skin at the unexpected sound. Layton and Javi watched for a moment as she turned her chair around and she and Bennett got lost in some sort of play argument, laughing more than shouting. 

“Damn,” Layton chuckled, shaking his head a little in disbelief as he returned to the task at hand. 

“What?” Javi’s brow furrowed. 

“Are they always like this? I didn’t know that she could laugh that much,” Layton looked at the people in question again, nodding slightly to indicate what he meant. Though Javi and Layton couldn’t hear what was being said at the helm, it was clear that they were having fun.

“Oh,” Javi shrugged, “Yeah, I guess.”

“Must be annoying sometimes,” Layton tried. 

“Here, give me that,” Javi mumbled absently, waiting for Layton to hand him the requested part before answering, “Sometimes, yeah, it really is. They’re kind of idiots.”

Layton snorted, “Not sure that she’d take too kindly to being called that.”

Javi smiled for a moment, a barely perceptible thing, “She’s alright with it. They’re idiots, but they’re my idiots. Don’t you dare tell them that I said that, or I’ll throw you into compost.”

“I won’t,” Layton assured him, “We can’t choose family, can we?”

“No,” Javi shook his head, and then met his eyes, “But that’s not always a bad thing.”

“It isn’t,” Layton agreed; he surveyed their handiwork and blinked in surprise, “Hey, are we actually done?”

“Huh,” Javi blinked, “We are.”

“Damn,” Layton grinned, “You got skills.”

“Thanks,” Javi smiled back, “Sometimes, being a complete nerd comes in handy.”

“I’ll say,” Layton looked at him proudly. 

Javi, about to speak, was cut off by the other two people in the room, oblivious to their triumph and on a collision course with what they’d built. He yelled, “Hey, watch it! Otherwise Layton and I will goof off while you put it back together.”

“Sorry,” Melanie grinned sheepishly, out of breath. They’d stopped so short she’d ended up smacking into Bennett, who had reached back for her hand to steady her. He let go under the unimpressed gazes of Javi and Layton. 

“Well since you didn’t break it, you can help Layton take it back to his place. I’m done. I have the train,” Javi told them, standing. 

“I got it,” Melanie told Bennett before he could even think to speak, and looked at Layton, “Ready?”

“Yeah,” he nodded, standing too, “Thanks.”

“Sure,” she replied easily. 

They took opposite ends of the relatively compact piece of furniture and lifted, awkwardly shuffling out of the engine. Bennett took his usual seat. When Layton and Melanie had disappeared, Javi turned around. They looked at each other for a while. 

Then, they laughed at the absurdity of the situation.

"I'll always be there for you" with the engineers

From here.

“I am sorry for punching you, you know,” Bennett said randomly as they sat in the engine one day. 

“You punched him?” Melanie’s tone was incredulous as she turned around to face them. 

“Yeah,” Javi shrugged, “But in his defense, I was kind of being a dick that day. Apology accepted. What brought that up now?”

“I don’t know,” Bennett admitted, “I just felt like it needed to be said out loud, I suppose.”

“Well,” Melanie mused, “That solves that mystery.”

“What mystery?” Bennett asked, now the one confused. 

“Of how he saved me,” Melanie clarified, and then addressed Javi, “Which, by the way, thank you.”

“Yeah, thank you,” Bennett chimed in, and Melanie watched his expression darken as he certainly remembered the terror of those days. 

“I’ll always be there for you,” Javi sighed, “Both of you. It just took me a while to realize that.”

Melanie smiled softly, “I’ll always be there for you guys, too.”

“Same here,” Bennett added. 

Javi rolled his eyes a little, unable to resist teasing them, “Well, I knew that that went without saying between the two of you, but I feel special now.”

Melanie stuck her tongue out at him, and Bennett found a piece of paper to wad up and half heartedly toss at him. Javi suppressed a smile at their antics and the way Melanie genuinely laughed. 

He wasn’t exactly sure when they’d become a family, but he was glad that they were.

Three Engineers

There are three engineers in a car going for a drive. The first is a mechanical engineer, the second an electronics engineer and the third is a software engineer.

Fortunately, the mechanical engineer is driving because the brakes fail as they are going downhill. The mechanical engineer eventually brings the car safely to a halt and gets out to examine the hydraulic systems.

The electronics engineer gets out and checks the body computer, ABS system and the power train CAN bus.

The software engineer stays in the car and when queried about it says that they should all just get back in the car and see if it happens again!
