@torquethrust cont from here.
Uri was one of them, opting to always come to the tower as the 'resident mechanic'. He of course still lived at home with his rather large family, but they were always focused on something or another. It would have been too suspicious though if he moved out. His parents would have wanted to see the place so they knew where to barge in at any time without prior warning. After all, privacy is only given to married men and women during their marital duties. Meaning Uri had none at home.
Here though, he could relax. Yes he spent time alone, but the others were pleasant enough to actually interact with, not giving him the pressure to get married. Still closeted at home, Uri could be himself here. At least in some ways. He did find a lot of the guys here attractive, but he knew not to act on it. Compared to a lot of abilities the others had, Uri's felt like his wasn't up to snuff. So he had to make up for it in every way he could.
"Same bike, new parts. Also cleaning some old parts too. Gotta make sure I catch everyone's eyes, and being muddy won't help with that,' he said as he smiled over at Torque. Damn was the man hot, but he was also a good leader. Definitely never made Uri feel less than, just hot and bothered. Good thing the resident telepath wasn't there.
