He has cleared both of their schedules today.

It’s her birthday and they will be celebrating by having the day to themselves. Along with a special dinner and some other things he has planned.

Shoes still untied.

Happy Halloween!

to match her breathing.

Teams were important. Especially for Spartans. He missed his.

“I know that. Besides a team lets you live up to your full Spartan potential. Put those tactical leadership skills to use outside of telling Zuzuk to not eat batteries.”

He rested his head against hers and settled into a rhythm trying -

"All I said was that your shoe was untied dude."

He took a seat and then scooted up next to her, and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"I'm glad to hear it. Even more glad you're not flying solo these days."

“How’s training been going?”

I think there has to be some kind of solution for what is happening on your arms.

You may want to try that again. Things are not as they once were.

You know maybe you could follow in my example and ensure a little consistency that way.

Cause this is not a good look.

The Panda is the gift that keeps on giving.

"And I don't even have to polish my armor every day. Slaying without all the hassle."

@spartancaliber.bsky.social

"Man we look good."

Slay

Panda in his mind.

“To whatever end.”

sometimes it meant she was lending him strength. They were in this together.

“Probably hang out in your workshop more. Also suffer from not having a giant plus panda around.”

For him it was all about trying to keep things light and positive right now. Nothing was more positive than that -

could hold her properly.

“Dare I say the foundations the UNSC are built upon are stronger and more resilient than Cortana’s. They don’t break us. They break upon us. The Covenant did, so will all the rest.”

When they were together they shared their strength. Sometimes it meant he was helping her-

“You know corporate wants me to charge by the hour for letting people borrow my faith. They say it’s suppose to build self reliance or something. But for you I think I can do it for free.”

Oh how he wished he could snap his fingers and make both of them rid of their armor right now. So that he-

Whatever it was, she was still the one that had places to be soon. He’s got a slow morning for a change.

“He knows how to dress for the occasion I’ll give him that. If you looked at him and Wilhem together, you wouldn’t be bale to guess which of them was the homeless one.”

You'll be after a Hoodie next.

"So @spartancaliber.bsky.social you feeling lonely now that you're the only one still in white armor?"

He's still getting used to his new set of armor himself.

// Bonus "improved" version, as suggested by @spartandayne.bsky.social

// I should do another version of this but with @thepaperworker.bsky.social except he’s having a breakdown in Hood’s office

"Oh please, if it was up to you I wouldn't be guarding anyone and sitting here all day."

This was her mistake because now he's wrapped his arms around her and he isn't planning on letting go any time soon.

"Tall. Red. Has a cape. Oh and he's an alien. Should have led with that."

outside of our worlds. It's just not sustainable. A death by a thousand cuts is still a death."

It was hard to keep the flames of hope and optimism burning but he tried his best. Too many had fallen into despair and darkness. A fate he would do anything to make sure they avoided.

armor was making things, Edward relished the her leaning into him. If his hand wasn't otherwise occupied holding hers, he'd have wrapped his arm around her.

"There will be an end. As hard as it is to imagine right now. She's pissed off the whole galaxy and done very little to consolidate her rule-

There was very little he could do in a situation where time would heal this wound. But all that he can do, he planned on doing.

"It's a hard thing to do. See all the tiny little repercussions until they have piled up and are threatening to flood over. It needs time and faith."

As awkward as the -
