Twilight Stroll

(a thread with @miaxseb 👀) 

tw: smoking

He’d managed to sneak out alright. Things seemed to be busier and more lively in the halls around just the beginning of the evening. He knew agents weren’t really supposed to go out after dark, but he was different, right? No one would fault him for being unused to rules, and most of them had been raised around here, where he was from the front lines. That made a difference, he felt. They wouldn’t deny him his natural habitat, right? Plus, people apparently didn’t like it when you smoked around them. He’d never really run into that out in the West Ward but he guessed it did smell a bit. 

He wasn’t too far out, he thought, just enough to stretch his legs (and try out actually new shoes!!). The street was quiet, and he mimicked its sound as he hopped on top of a dumpster, grabbed the gutter, and easily shimmied up to the roof. He looked out over the expanse of rooftops, his playground. He smiled. 

Taking off, he jumped. One, two, three roofs, and a quick flip that made him feel like he was flying. He bounced a little before coming around back towards MEIA, finishing out a U shape from his starting point. He let himself spin and fall onto the last roof, hands never leaving his pockets as he laughed in relief. Finally getting some energy out, he let himself catch his breath. Staring up at the burgeoning stars, he finally removed his hands and flicked his lighter, lining up for a quick smoke before anyone noticed he was gone.
