“Will you stop your pacing? He said he’d be right down.” Ivan stands casually near the empty security desk, watching as the other man stalks back and forth, the rhythmic TAP-TAP-TAP of sleek dress shoes echoing off the atrium walls.
“That was ten minutes ago!” Alfred loudly whines, ever the impatient one. It astounds him that despite being dressed in fine formal wear, Alfred’s facial expressions still manage to resemble that of a petulant child.
“He has had a lot of work to do lately.”
“It’s inhuman! Those bastards have been keeping him late for a whole month! Oh if I ever see his boss -“
“His office is on the sixtieth floor,” Ivan tries reasoning again.
“He should be here by now and you know it! We have a date tonight and the reservation’s in an hour.” Alfred’s pouting now, and Ivan knows that it isn’t about the dinner reservation at all but simply the fact that they’ve barely seen their boyfriend these past few weeks.
Matthew’s company recently went through a large merger, and the transition period required a lot of extra time, especially for Matthew who worked directly under the CEO. Lately he’s been rushing off to the office at 5:30am - a full hour before Ivan or Alfred even get up - and then slouching back into the house past 10pm - with just enough energy to eat dinner cold and collapse into their bed.
Their concern for Matthew’s well-being came through in different ways. Alfred shows his worry by attaching to Matthew as soon as he walks in the door, keeping him company while he ate, chatting his ear off, because that’s how Alfred is. Always there.
Ivan was quieter, more distant, he made sure that all the chores were taken care of, all the bills were paid, that the food was waiting (not that he did that by himself, he made Alfred help), just so Matthew wouldn’t have anything else to worry about.
The ding! of the elevator catches both male’s attention, as the doors slide open to reveal a haggard looking Matthew, jacket askew and ruffled hair.
