Wednesday night. Wednesday night and Paul gets to have a date with Loki. He's never had a date before, not an official one--driving around with Irene and before that stealing cars and taking a younger Loki for joyrides, sure, but a date date?
He can do it. He can try for Loki. Loki deserves nice things. Loki's a good guy, a good person, and Paul knows for a fact the other man won't take time off unless he's being gently strong armed. Why not a date?
"I wanna drive you around," he confesses, and it feels like he's proclaiming his love. He means it, calloused fingers finding their way onto Loki's shoulder, tracing tattoos he hasn't even begun to examine. He's already making plans to drive a few hours to pick up the parts he needs today. He can take the time off. He's a hard worker.
His alarm to get up and go to work interrupts that thought, oldies radio station blasting Tina Turner. Paul tenses only because he hadn't expected it, but his free hand moves to slam down the snooze button, a little more heavy than it needs to be as Paul resents it for the meaning behind it. They have to get up. Paul has to work. Loki has to save the day. Paul sighs.
"You want some shitty coffee for the road?" He's never been able to make it properly, something Loki commented on in the garage earlier. He doesn't care.
