WHO: Safeguard and Bakura
WHERE: Upper west toys.
WHEN: This morning
WARNINGS: None?
SUMMARY: Safeguard overslept, and this is almost late for work. ~~Yea, we can blame this on the most recent comm chat he had with Vector, or~~ ~~the end parts of it. Note: It's all private and perma minicon for Safey. :~~)
FORMAT: Para.

hfgsdhdksjh Was what Safeguard's mind was right now, as he madly darted around his room, pulling on his clothes for the day, picking up socks and shoes and then diving into the kitchen. Aurex was there, mewling, loudly, for food, and it was Safeguard's job to look after her. She would have been hell for those in the kitchen before he woke up, and he did feel a little guilty for it..With a soft murmur of 'Sorry girl', he dished out her food, then started to pull his shoes on.

Slag slag slag slag! He'd slept in, past his alarm as well, and now he was sure he was going to be late and dfhlksjh jkhadkj. ARRGGG!

Thankfully, no one was around to see him juggle feeding Aurex, his shoes and find himself food, though he'd have to forgo that. He didn't even bother tying the shoe laces.

"Sorry girl, I have to run." He murmured, giving her a scritch behind the ears, receiving a happy purr in reward for his attention to her. Really, she owned his heart already.. "Please try and be a good girl. I'll be home after lunch with Schro. I'll see if I can pick you up a treat, too."

A final pat, and he was out the door, and sprinting, though he was soon in the air. He just really, really hoped that he wasn't late for work.

It would be embarrassing.

Bakura, for contrast, had gotten to work rather earlier than usual. Worries on his mind had left his sleeping uncharacteristically light and as much as he was unaware of it, he had been spending less and less time at home since Saturday.

... it had nothing to do with not wanting to have an awkward moment regarding Alastair at all. Of course it wouldn't. Nothing had changed, after all. Everything was just the same. It was because he was worried for Matsuka, depressed because of Taiitsu and Misao's disappearances, trying to figure out solutions to things that were not at all his problems. That was it. Really.

He was no good at lying to other people, but lying to himself? It was second nature.

He gave a deep sigh, running a hand through his hair as he looked over the order forms on his desk. And besides. Coming in early gave him time to cover doing the work Carol would have done. Much as he was aware that he really should be looking for someone to fill that position, he was stubborn in holding it in hopes that Matsuka would be able to take it. He couldn't do much to help the situation, but he could help his friend as much as he could...

He looked up at the monitors in distraction for what must have been the 50th time that morning before pausing and blinking. Huh. Had he misread the time? ... no, no it was that late. Odd. Normally Safeguard was very punctual... it wasn't at all like him to be late.

He pushed back on his chair, getting to his feet and heading over to the time clock to meet his friend.

Normally, he was, yes, but normally, Safeguard did not sleep in past his alarm. Normally, he was not flying at break-neck speed either. Rather stupid, considering his landing could have sprained his ankle, if he hadn't rolled that way. But it didn't, though he'd be sore soon enough.

He was mentally flailing as well. ?He was never late and this was unacceptable, in his mind. Never mind that the punctual thing might ~~have been~~ was picked up from millions of years of traveling with Vector - It was simply unacceptable. At all. And, it was rude.

Straightening his clothes, he ran a hand through his hair, and sighed as he finger combed it. It was also getting long. He'd need to get a hair cut, soon. Odd, to think about needing one, but he wasn't surprised that it was growing. Organic things tended to grow. Like toe nails.

Oh well, that thought later. With a mental brace for a lecture if he was really late, he headed in to the store.

Bakura gave a small smile as he saw him. "Everything all right?" he asked, no trace of lecturing tone or any disapproval. Just mild concern.

"Ah, yea.. Just over slept, that's all. Had to give a report on things and such." It was a tired smile, but it was, mostly, the truth. "Aurex is glad that Vector-Sir's back, though... I don't know if it's for the clothes or not.."

Bakura covered a small laugh. "She likes to pounce on his clothes like she does everything else?" he asked with a smile.

He had a bit of a nagging feeling there was more to it, but he wasn't going to pry.

"Want some tea before you start? Might help you wake up."

"Yea. She likes him and Sentinel the best." He grinned. "I's rather amusing how she stalks him, and get's into his closet, as well. It's cute, in a way."

There was more, but Safeguard wouldn't outright say it. "Tea sound good, if you do not mind."

"I don't mind at all, I think I need some myself!" Bakura said with a soft laugh. "I've been distracted all morning," he admitted. "Sounds like she's a real handful," he continued as he began walking to his office.

"She is. I can only image what she was like this morning for those up then. Must have been hell. " He followed the other to the office, yawning a little, still not fully awake as it was. "But I enjoy looking after her. It's nice, in a way."

"She wasn't trying to wake you up?" Bakura smiled, heading for the kettle. "Or do you not let her in your room at night?"

"Hmmm.. she might have, as I sleep with my door open for her now." A shrug. He didn't know. She might have, and he just slept through it. "Does Pelor wake you up when she wants?"

"Un," Bakura nodded with a fond smile. "Though really, I normally sleep really deeply so she doesn't have much luck!" he laughed. "But I've woken up to find her just sitting on top of me watching intently or nuzzling my face. She may be calm, but when she wants something, she's very insistent and stubborn."

"I sleep as best I can. Sometimes I wake up to find her curled up beside me. It's cute." He grinned, and took a sett, rubbing his eyes, and stiffing down a yawn. "She might have tried to wake me, but.. I was awake longer than I should have been."

"Are you sure you're awake enough to be in at work?" Bakura half teased. "Green tea all right?"

"Yea, I am. And it's fine." He gave a half smile at hos friend, nodding.

Bakura nodded in return, pouring the steaming water with care. "So where was Vector visiting?" he asked, mostly making small talk and hoping that if there were something bothering his friend, general conversation would nudge him to talk on it.

"The other hemisphere. He returned late last night; I was about to go to bed when the comm pinged. He said that fun wasn't his purpose, but he did rest." Safeguard did lineface at that. Fun was to be had in everything, and Safeguard's option of Vector without him was that his bulk? was highly boring; though, of course, this was from a child's point of view.

Bakura, on the other hand, had a different view of these things and gave a big smile as he handed Safeguard his mug of tea.

"Heeeh, sounds neat! Do you know what countries he went to?"
