Reblog with who you get stuck with~
#James Flint#well shit#no you don’t get it he’d go spare#I know his type#he’d run on coffee#and be constantly doing something#constantly neverendingly busy#and getting stuck in an elevator would Get in the Way of that#that poor elevator wouldn’t last long#he’d be some kind of engineer and have the control panel torn apart to get the thing moving again#muttering the entire time#and then be on his way to chew out someone in maintenance once he’d fixed the problem and gotten out of there
Was this really neccessary @flintsredhair? Here I was thinking it could be romantic but then you ruined it. You are utterly right tho. What was I thinking? Gah!
Ha – this was absolutely necessary and I regret nothing! People can pry modern AU Engineer!James out of my cold, dead hands. The most contact you’d get with him in that elevator would be handing him something to use as a tool out of your purse.
Can he at least work shirtless?
We are, in fact, discussing Mr. “A Beautiful Woman is At My Door, QUICKLY, I MUST PUT A SHIRT ON!” so odds are against us, sadly. I’m about half convinced that his middle initial just stands for Embarrassed.
Meg why do you keep ruining the sexy thoughts
Okay but what if he was stuck in an elevator with THOMAS
ok at that point all bets are off, that elevator is going to be offline for a while, no don’t bother calling the emergency phone.
If anyone needs a fic prompt…
Okay but imagine that James and Thomas don’t know each other (that well) and are stuck in an elevator together. James has shit to do, but on the other hand he’s had a bit of a crush on Thomas for a while and this is the perfect opportunity and he’s torn between showing off and getting them out of their and using the opportunity of being in close quarters with Thomas for a long time
They live in the same blinding and say hi a few times here and there. James is an engineer and works late nights (even though he doesn’t have too, but he has no chill and nothing to come home to but a cold apartment and a half empty fridge).
He’s caught Thomas going on dates with some guy a few times as he was returning home and had a lot of complicated feelings about that, and it takes him forever to realize that he actually has a crush on Thomas. (He’s bad at feelings, physics is better, or rather better to distract himself with rather than you know, FEEL things.)
So they’ve had a few chats here and there, he knows Thomas is a professor and that he reads a lot, but James is tired most of the time and usually ends up being caught with messy hair and in some odd ‘running out to get Chinese food from across the street at 1am’ outfit so he’s always super awkward about everything when he isn’t being a sarcastic shit (even though Thomas finds it adorable)
Anyway, they’re stuck in an elevator together.
(Someone write it)See, I’m torn between professor!Thomas (he’d be fantastic at it) and lawyer!Thomas who does a lot of advocacy work for various organizations and pro bono defense work, running himself ragged and only looking fairly decent when James sees him in the hallway because he’s actually been at the office until midnight and can’t be arsed to change out of his work clothes to go to the same Chinese place.
YES, EVEN BETTER. Maybe he does guest lecture at a law school?
So Thomas shows up at the Chinese place with a shirt untucked, tie undone, hair is absolutely a mess because he runs his hand through it when he’s nervous. He’s tried dating but it was hard for people to understand his passion for his work and to accept his work schedule.
James turns around in line to this and he’s like damn. Then he considers how he’s wearing sweatpants and his hair half falling out of a lopsided ponytail and a shirt from like 20 years ago. (I bet it’s a Star Trek shirt)
Someone write it. No, seriously, I have so. many. things. on my list right now (I almost wrote “write now” which – wow, Freudian slip much?). Ask Bean, she knows the size of the list. I literally cannot take this on.
