AUs for when your OTP are both assholes

You drive a massive SUV and steal my parking spot all the time and I was just heading out to leave a strongly worded note under your windshield wiper but oh no you’re hot AU

I’m a barista and you’re the obnoxious customer who comes through and orders a venti macchiato while talking on the phone the whole time so I misspell your name in increasingly creative ways every day AU

I’m a busy businessperson and my barista keeps misspelling my name in increasingly disrespectful ways, honestly, who does this person think they are AU

We were both playing wingman for our friends who have now decided to go home together, and after five minutes of conversation we fucking hate each other, let’s bang it out AU

I saw you trying to hit the “door close” button in the elevator but I made it in and then I pushed every single button to make you later for work, but now we’re stuck in this fucking elevator as it stops at every single floor and I don’t know what to say other than “you started it” AU

I asked for your help getting a book off the top shelf and and you laughed at my taste and called me a nerd so I shoved you into a table of nonfiction best-sellers and that’s how we both got banned from the quirky community bookstore AU

I take my grades very seriously and you’re the lazy asshole who asks a ton of off-topic questions to distract the professor and I might be a foot shorter than you but I swear to god I’ll fight you AU

You tried to barge into a private conversation so I said something devastatingly witty and dismissive but you came back with something even meaner and more clever AU

Shouting match over the last Thanksgiving turkey at the grocery store AU

An Inverse Bee is probably the best insult my Rhys has gotten. Hilarious.

The body double gave a small laugh at the kiss, ruffling Rhys’ hair gently. “I know how busy you are. I’d come visit myself, but most people shoot at people wearing bandit masks first and ask questions later. Most people just /shoot/ with a face like mine.”

Rhys smiled a little bit more as his hair was ruffled as he listened to what Tim had to say. The CEO gave a little laugh at that as he gave a small shrug of his shoulders. “Well, that’s true and rather unfortunate. I would hate for you to get shot at especially on Atlas property. I would feel terrible. But I guess it’s a good thing I don’t really care about a face like yours. Won’t get shot by me anytime soon, at least not on purpose.”

[timthedoppelganger]

"God, I sure hope not on puspose," he laughed, nuzzling against the side of Rhys' head. "I think I'd be a little offended if you shot at me. A little more than just offended, even. Let's not shoot at the gunsmith, okay?"

[hyperioncompanyman]

timthedoppelganger:

“And if I get some free gun parts and testing opportunities, hey, I’m sure not gonna complain.” He gave a small laugh, pressing a kiss to the side of Rhys’ head.

“I’m more than happy to be a consultant, if it means we get to spend time together like this.”

“Well if I have to give up some gun parts and give you some testing opportunities for your company then so be it” Rhys declared happily. He leaned in closer to press a kiss to Tim’s cheek in return after that.

“As much time as I can get with you the best. I really should make it a habit to drop by more often though. Get to missing you sometimes.”

[timthedoppelganger]

The body double gave a small laugh at the kiss, ruffling Rhys' hair gently. "I know how busy you are. I'd come visit myself, but most people shoot at people wearing bandit masks first and ask questions later. Most people just /shoot/ with a face like mine."

timthedoppelganger:

“I’m an expert in character study. It helps, as far as knowing what to do to comfort people goes.” He gave a tiny shrug, glancing over at the younger man. 

“Like I said. Just happy to help. Just, uh… Don’t get the wrong idea and think I’m interested in that PA job. Think I’ll stick to writing and gear modding. Had enough corporation kragon-shit in my life at this point.”

Rhys gave a bit of a snort of amusement when he heard hat. He gave a mock look of offense that was ruined with the smile on his face. “Well, there goes my plans on trying to butter you up and come and get you to work as my PA. Oh darn. Whatever shall I do now? My plans! Ruined!” he cried out in a dramatic manner while leaning against the older man more before laughing.

“But no I wouldn’t do that. Still, won’t stop me from getting your input from time to time though. Sometimes nice to talk things out with someone that is not withing the company itself.”

[timthedoppelganger]

"And if I get some free gun parts and testing opportunities, hey, I'm sure not gonna complain." He gave a small laugh, pressing a kiss to the side of Rhys' head.

"I'm more than happy to be a consultant, if it means we get to spend time together like this."

timthedoppelganger:

Tim just gave a little laugh, gently playing with the hair at the nape of Rhys’ neck. “Not exactly two of a kind, but I like to think we compliment each other well enough. It’s our differences that make us work.”

He finished what was left of his tea, humming softly as he set down the small cup. “Feel a little better? That headache give up?”

The CEO gave a small chuckle at that and nodded his head again. He liked how they did compliment each other even with their differences. It certainly made for some interesting things at times. But he nodded his head at the questions that were being asked of him.

“Yeah. I feel a ton better. Still just a little bit of a dull throb but it’s not as bothersome and I’m sure it will go away then. But thank you. You know just what to do to help don’t you?”

[timthedoppelganger]

“Sometimes.” There were times, of course, he felt utterly useless, mostly when he reflected on some of his time back in school or back under Jack’s command.

He pushed those particular thoughts away from his mind with a small shake of his head, giving Rhys’ shoulder a gentle squeeze. “I’m just glad I can help you like this.”

[hyperioncompanyman]

“Well I think you do a wonderful job at knowing just what to do” he commented with a nod of his head as if to confirm his point.

Moving to set his own cup down and out of the way he moved a hand up to gently pat at the one that squeezed at his shoulder. “And I thank you very much for it. Very helpful and so nice to talk to. Very good company you are.”

[timthedoppelganger]

“I’m an expert in character study. It helps, as far as knowing what to do to comfort people goes.” He gave a tiny shrug, glancing over at the younger man. 

“Like I said. Just happy to help. Just, uh... Don’t get the wrong idea and think I’m interested in that PA job. Think I’ll stick to writing and gear modding. Had enough corporation kragon-shit in my life at this point.”

“Athena has always been pretty reliable. Travelled a bit on Elpis with her back in the day. She and Janey ever get hitched? They had it pretty bad for each other.” He smiled against the rim of his tea mug, reclining in his seat.

“You’re definitely not that bad, but Lilith is kind of… Well, there’s a reason I don’t go up there with a bare face.”

“I remember them mentioning a wedding that they were going to be having. But I don’t recall that they actually tied the knot. Or if they did I certainly wasn’t invited to the wedding. Which would be very disappointing” Rhys replied with a shrug of his shoulders as he took another sip from his tea.

“Well, I would hope to not get onto Lilith’s bad side either. Ah, I’m sure I’ll figure something out. I like to think I’m a pretty smart guy sometimes. Just need to think it out. But until then I’m going to enjoy your company and this wonderful cup of tea.”

[timthedoppelganger]

“Hope I get an invite when they finally do. Might apologize again for hitting on Janey when we first met.” His cheeks tinted slightly at that particular memory, the body double taking another sip of his tea to try and hide it.

“Dunno about smart, but you’re definitely clever,” he teased, wrapping an arm around Rhys’ shoulders. “Wouldn’t have you any other way.”

[hyperioncompanyman]

Rhys couldn’t help but to chuckle a little bit at the body double’s embarrassment and his action of trying to hide it. It was a little cute if he was being honest. Though when he heard what the man said next he made a sound of mock offense before having an arm around his shoulder. “You’re lucky I like you so much that I’ll let that slide a little here” he replied but he couldn’t stop the smile that came to him as he leaned against Tim a little more.

[timthedoppelganger]

Mm, think I remember a story involving someone trying to run between the bullets.” He took a sip of his drink, giving Rhys a sly little grin.

“Not like I’m a genius, though. Worst way to pay off student debts ever.”

[hyperioncompanyman]

“Excuse you that was a perfectly reasonable thing to do thank you very much. As long as I don’t get hit it counts as a win” the CEO huffed while giving him a playful shove.

“Yeah. Exactly. No genius either. Though I guess that’s why we go so well together. Not the smartest but certainly not the dumbest people we know.”

[timthedoppelganger]

Tim just gave a little laugh, gently playing with the hair at the nape of Rhys' neck. "Not exactly two of a kind, but I like to think we compliment each other well enough. It's our differences that make us work."

timthedoppelganger:

“That’s why I like your company. Less visible backstabbing so far than Hyperion had. I still remember some guys trying to shank me at a personnel meeting I had to stand in for. Wasn’t pretty.” He poured the tea into the mugs he’d gathered before walking it over to the CEO, offering out the cat printed mug.

“I’m sure you’ll find someone. Maybe some of the folks up in Sanctuary would even give it a shot. Assuming you can convince the siren to let you get close enough to post the want ad.” He took his seat next to the younger man again, humming in satisfaction as he sipped his tea.

Rhys let out a small snort when he heard that. Yeah, that sounded about from what he remembered from the company. Not even CEOs or their body doubles were safe from the corporate backstabbing that often happened. He certainly didn’t miss that in the least as he took the cat printed mug with a soft ‘thank you’ coming from him. 

“Hm. Might be a good idea. I think maybe I can get in and at least get the idea out there that I’m looking or a PA. I don’t think I’m that bad am I? Even if I can’t get in maybe I can convince Athena or Jane to help me. Maybe Zer0. Possibly. Haven’t thought that far ahead yet” Rhys continued with a shrug as he took a sip from his own cup.

[timthedoppelganger]

timthedoppelganger:

“I was gonna suggest that short friend of yours, but he’s probably busy enough with the Hyperion leftovers, huh. Want any sugar? This blend is already pretty sweet.” He tended to cut down from his usual three scoops to one when dealing with fruit teas, but pomegranate didn’t seem to need any extra.

“And I think they payoff would be worth it. Keep you more focussed and take some of the weight off. Just gotta make sure you can trust whoever you sign on.”

“Yeah. I don’t want to put too much on, Vaughn. He already has so much to deal with with all the leftovers from Hyperion and what not. Wouldn’t be fair. I’m sure I’ll find someone eventually” he replied with a small sigh as he began to think about it a little bit more. A small hum of contemplation came from him before shaking his head.

“No thanks. The tea how it is will be just fine. Though you’re right. Gotta find someone I can trust. I would hate for my bad luck streak to get even worse with me hiring on someone that’s only going to stab me and the company in the back. Maybe literally. Probably literally.”

[timthedoppelganger]

"That's why I like your company. Less visible backstabbing so far than Hyperion had. I still remember some guys trying to shank me at a personnel meeting I had to stand in for. Wasn't pretty." He poured the tea into the mugs he'd gathered before walking it over to the CEO, offering out the cat printed mug.

[hyperioncompanyman]

Rhys was almost a little sad when Tim got up to go make the tea now for he was enjoying the contact. But he would be back after it was made so it was okay in his mind. Though at the mention of what’s been going wrong coming up again it made him sigh once more. “Well for starters we had a severe weapons malfunction in testing which led to a few of my best testers and developers being hospitalized and pushing the project back as a result. Oh there was a semi-successful raid upon one of my buildings which is extremely frustrating and infuriating at the same time. Also one of my representatives also messed up a deal with Maliwan so I had to jump through more hoops and practically do a circus performance in order to get some semblance of it back. Basically anything that could go wrong as company is going wrong and blowing up in my face. Quite literally in some cases. And it’s only the beginning of the week, Tim.”

[timthedoppelganger]

“Well, I mean, technically it’s a Tuesday, isn’t it? So it’s not really the beginning,” he teased playfully, the kettle filled and quickly heating as he measured out the loose leaf tea. “Maybe you should hire a PA to help keep shit together. Sounds to me like you’re stretching yourself thin, stringbean.”

[hyperioncompanyman]

The CEO rolled his eyes a little bit at that and shot the other man as playful glare as he did so. “Hey. Don’t go all technical on me. It’s still close enough to the beginning of the week” he huffed with a cross of his arms. “But maybe you’re right. It would be good to have someone else to help share the duties with. I guess that’s another thing I have to worry about though.”

[timthedoppelganger]

[hyperioncompanyman]

@timthedoppelganger liked the Thing.

Rhys sighed loudly as he visited the doppelganger. He huffed as he sat down, running a hand down his face “If I asked you to would you shoot me right now? Because a bullet honestly sounds great at the moment.”

[timthedoppelganger]

Tim raised an eyebrow, but otherwise continued to work away at one of his pistols, currently working on recalibration the scope atop the old Jacobs model. “Nnnnno. But I’m willing to listen if you feel like telling me why, if that counts for something.”

[hyperioncompanyman]

Rhys tilted his head back and closed his eyes before letting out another long sigh. “Well just about anything that could go wrong has decided to go wrong this week so far. The universe is against me, Tim. Trying my patience is what’s going on right now. Giving me a massive headache.”

[timthedoppelganger]

The doppelganger couldn’t help but smile fondly at him, setting the gun parts down so he could instead reach out to gently card his fingers through Rhys’ hair. “Do you want me to make you some tea?”

[hyperioncompanyman]

The CEO let out a small hum when he felt fingers run through his hair. Rhys tilted his head a little into the touch and made a very happy sound at him at the feeling. “A cup of tea actually sounds wonderful right now if you wouldn’t mind.”

[timthedoppelganger]

“Something fruity,” he offered gently, leaning over to place a kiss against Rhys’ hair, still gently rubbing. “I’ve got a new pomegranate infused one, if you wanna try it.”

[hyperioncompanyman]

Rhys tilted his head even more now when he got a kiss to his head next and smiled a bit wider.There was a nod of his head before answering “Mmm pomegranate sounds like a wonderful choice. Pomegranates are always good. It’s like you know what I like” he replied with a small laugh.

[timthedoppelganger]

"Well, we do have similar tastes," he chuckled, pressing in one more kiss before rising from the couch to go and make the tea. "Would talking about what's been going wrong help make you feel a little better? This'll take a few minutes." Tim had turned making tea into a fine art, but it didn't make it take any less time.
