By all means, Pluey wasn’t supposed to be in the Mike room.
Battat was already on his shift, and by his “rules” that meant the other two weren’t allowed to even breathe near the place. It didn't stop the fact that Shadowguy had managed to forget his recently-bought pack of cigarettes there, to which he certainly didn’t feel like going out of his way to buy new ones.
Making sure no one was aware of his presence, he put in the code and walked in, ready to grab his pack and leave.
He was surprised, however, to find someone else already there. He immediately recognized Jongler, who was humming to themselves with a bunch of scraps of paper in their hand.
He softly approached them, realizing as he got closer that the zapper looked more tired than normal.
“Oh, hey buddy.” They said, “What’cha doing here?”
“Forgot some cigarettes.” Pluey answered, holding the box before quickly putting it in his pocket. He certainly wasn’t done here, though.
“What about you, though? You look beat.”
The taller darkner blushed slightly. “Someone has to clean the place once in a while.”
Pluey couldn’t help but sigh. Of course they’d go out of their way for something like this. “Battat can do it himself.”
“Yeahs, I know.” Jongler shrugged, placing the now pile of papers on top of the desk.
Before they could do anything else, though, the shadowguy walked beside them, lazily rubbing his head against their shoulder. It caught them by surprise, but they let out a small chuckle.
Putting his plan in motion, Pluey moved his arms, grabbing the zapper by the waist. In turn, they turned their head in blushed confusion. He smiled at them softly, using his free hand to caress their face.
The zapper leaned in to the touch, and despite the total lack of facial features, visibly relaxed as well.
“‘ Suppose i could use a little break.” They hummed, leaving the papers behind and placing their arms around their partner’s waist.
Pluey leaned closer, making the zapper bend their knee slightly so he could give them a kiss. He moved his hand down, slowly, reaching the middle of their collar and fidgeting with the buttons before opening it.
Jongler’s only reaction to this was putting the shadowguy closer, which he took as a sign to continue, giving them soft pecks before reaching the start of their chest, which he kissed strongly.
Without a word, the zapper picked the shadowguy up softly and carried the both of them to the couch, where they laid their back and held him close. Pluey could tell they were absolutely melting in his affection and smiled, leaning closer.
Looks like the two of them needed a short break after all.
