I'm coming home today.

Think you have room in your schedule?

The point of coming home means I don't have to be your captain any more, you know.

Besides, it isn't about work. I wanna see you. That's it.

[ Recovering. He ignores the thorn of guilt in his brain, thumbs a message in instead. ]

Are you? How're you feeling?

[ He hasn't even seen footage of Jack, he realises dimly. Though part of Chris thinks about grabbing a newspaper as soon as he gets into the city, another part of him thinks it might just be better to see Jack, himself, in the flesh.

God. With all the time that'd passed, Chris thought he was over it. And yet the worry persists. ]

Sounds like you're not a fan.

And now you're out of Gath.

I don't like all this hero parade stuff, but I'm counting myself lucky I get to see you later outside of a casket, Jack.

[ You shouldn't want to get back out there, he wants to say. You shouldn't wish for there to be a reason to.

Instead: ]
About an hour to the city. Maybe twenty to find you, depending where you are.

God, I really fucking hope my car still works.


[ But he hasn't been home in a long, long while. ]

Maybe I just want to drive you around in a truck I brought back from the dead. Is that so bad?

I'll call you when I'm at your place, though. See you soon.


[ That being said, Chris' truck does manage to start when he gets to where she'd been stored the whole time he was on the front. There's a definite weirdness being in the city again, but it's one he doesn't dwell on; though he does genuinely want to see Jack, he won't lie that a part of him's also relieved he can delay seeing his apartment. Chris doesn't want to know what state it's in. Honestly, he's not even sure he can sleep in it.

The only detour he takes is a refuelling before he has to deal with the hodgepodge of security measures to the Benjamins' home. It's bizarre having to give his identification to people who don't know him, but this is less because Chris misses having status and more because it proves how far away the war had been to everyone else. Chris has fought in too many wars; the people that he fights for have never really had any idea every time.

In any case, he's parked in the driveway, and he rings Jack's phone and puts it to his ear as the truck rumbles. The sooner they can leave, the better. Chris doesn't much care for the monarchy he serves, not as much as he cares about the country and its people. Jack, who he'd shared battlefields and shed blood with, is the only exception. ]

He would know, that wily old bastard.
Listen, Benjamin, I'm not your daddy and God won't touch me with a ten foot pole but I'll be in town for a couple of days.
I'll bring you some fancy French soap, you bring the vodka? 😉😚
pluscachange: (Kiss me honey.)

[personal profile] pluscachange 2022-01-03 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You offering?
pluscachange: (OoooOOooOoh)

Tucked away like a dirty secret?
How French.

I know, I know.
Forever complicated.
Counter offer: I'll throw a housewarming party at my brand new place in your beautifully messed up country and you'll be my guest of honour.
pluscachange: (Should I die before I wake.)

[personal profile] pluscachange 2022-01-03 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
We're expanding, so yeah, I'll be around for a while.
I'll bring you my favourite.
You'll smell divine.

Oh, is that how things are run over there?

So I should be calling you daddy soon, hm?
Party this weekend, I'll send you a car.
