( Used to being weak alone, hugging himself in a dark room, a change is greedily welcomed. He shouldn't invite Noctis this far into his soul without carefully considering it, but his desperation to be embraced by warm, safe arms while he agonizes is too great to deny.
His good mood now won't lastβit never does. Why can't they prepare for that together? Why can't they prepare for Noctis' bad days, too? )
But Noctis Don't call yourself selfish There are many words I'd use to describe you and some are even negative but selfish could never be one of them You've always taken care of me
( Throat tight, Kaladin turns on the sidewalk and issues a too-formal statement to his coworkers. He won't be coming in for one shift, potentially two, because he wants to spend time with his lover. They reply quickly, nonplussed, in pages of emoji and words read loudly by his implant.
Summarized, their approval is heart-warming, and his doubts are eliminated on his walk back to base. )
I'm on my way back Shouldn't be too long so don't fall asleep again
I could say maybe you're too easy to impress but that's my win so I won't fight it
[ Another gentle tease right before Kaladin announces his intent. Just like that.
... suddenly he shoots up out of bed, ignoring Chauncey's annoyed "mao" in order to beeline immediately for the shared bathrooms down the hall. Kaladin β his boyfriend β is blowing off work to see him, mere hours after their mutual confessions. No way is he greeting him looking less than his best. ]
Seriously? Yeah no I'm good, I'm up, and my roommates are out
I told them I'm taking a vacation day to spend time with my lover They were surprised but happy People have been trying to slow me down for years telling me I'm overworked It seems only you've managed it
( Even Kaladin is concerned now with his appearance. Not overly, but he smells himself, makes sure his breath is fresh enough, and rubs tiredness from his eyes. His hair stays in a messy updo, usually unsure of what to do with it.
And considering he didn't get very far before being called back by Noctis, he fast approaches LILITH's temporary base. )
I'm not easy to impress My standards are high and I'm slow to trust You're Well I'm the winner

I wouldn't think less of you if you gave up a double, tbh I'd think more of you if you also gave up a single
Idk if you know what a selfish guy you swore an oath to
