you want to walk around like you own the joint.
WHO: hikaru sulu and you!
WHERE: central park!
WHEN: this evening!
WARNINGS: none anticipated, but will update as needed.
SUMMARY: sulu heads out to look at some constellations.
FORMAT: we all know about my love of action spam.
[ living in the city was the farthest north sulu had ever been in his life. and the first truly cold winter he'd ever experienced. but be that as it may, it didn't really stop him from putting on a thick coat and scarf and going to sit in the park and look at the stars.
all the constellations had moved. some nights it felt like there were more stars, too many, triple the amount of what he remembered from home and this world felt even more alien than before. and then other times he could map out ancient constellations, the ones he remembered from the back pages of his great-grandfather's astronomy texts, and he wished he could take a picture to bring home with him.
it was probably just as well he couldn't. technically that was a violation of the prime direction, sulu was betting.
but still, tonight he takes his favorite seat on the bench and tips his head back to look up. it's easier to relax like this, not to think of impending alien hostilities or how very long he's been away from home, or how much he misses his job. his fingers are freezing, so he jams them in his pockets. he always forgets to bring coffee or tea, and always returns back to their now overful apartment half-frozen.
it's not so bad. it's worth it, for the view. ]

While Sulu is classy with tea or coffee, Han has beer and a nice sandwich.]
no subject
[ han you are supposed to be the adult here. ]
no subject
[Two can play this game, Sulu.]
no subject
[ tea is very nutritous, okay. ]
no subject
Are you waiting for someone? [Please let that be the only reason why.]
no subject
[ can't a guy look at the stars without getting harassed... ]
no subject
So you're having a cup of tea, all by yourself, in the dark, in the middle of a park. [weirdo.]
no subject
[ people who miss flying spaceships up in the sky. 8c ]
no subject
And you're trying to meet that one homeless person that will make your heart feel complete?
no subject
[ which doesn't really sound much better, but whatever. sulu doesn't care. ]
no subject
yes Sulu, that is a woman in a skintight black costume with a yellow bat on her chest and bat-ears casually strolling through the park right by you. and yes, she's whistling pop music. ]
no subject
Is that Lady Gaga?
no subject
Jason Mraz, actually.
That bad, huh?
no subject
[ that dates him pretty nicely. you know someone's either ancient or from the future when they're talking about lady gaga and jason mraz as an "oldie" ]
no subject
You should, they're kind of fun.
no subject
[ flailing around a music shop isn't a terrible waste of his time. at the least he could come home with something to listen to when he was alone in the apartment. ]
no subject
Absolutely. Especially if you're a music lover. You're missing out if you dismiss all of nowaday's music as oldies.
no subject
I don't actually listen to a lot of music. Never had time.
[ it's actually kind of a cop-out. sulu just has bad taste. he doesn't go hunting for music, not often. ]
no subject
Never too late to start.
You like star gazing, though?
no subject
[ such a wistful tone. 8c he misses the sky, yes he does. ]
no subject
no subject
[ because come on he's never talked to a real superhero before. ]
no subject
no subject
[ and by interesting he means bad just so we're all clear. ]
no subject
Anyways, you're pretty much a model citizen in my books in comparison.
no subject
[ not necessarily here, but he'll take what he can get. ]
