something so sentimental you make so detrimental

When he was on-base, Engineer spent most of his off-time tinkering. Camping, music, or hanging around the others were always options, naturally, but the mercenary almost always had a personal project going on.

This time, it was technically someone else's project. Miss Pauling asked him (re: not-so-subtly suggested) to take a look at her moped a while back, and after they both schemed an effective way to liquify about 80 bodies, he figured - why not?

Turns out, liquifying people is easier.

Engie can be found in his garage, hunched over a purple moped and muttering details nonsensical to anyone but himself. Between engine grease and the desert heat, he shucked off his team-issued shirt and tied his overall straps around his waist, showing off a farmer's tan and old tattoos poking out through an undershirt.

Seriously, though. The thing in front of him was a mess. Save for a decent exterior, it was near-falling apart on the inside, a damn miracle it even held together long enough for Pauling to drive it here. It looked nice enough, sure, but holy hell if she didn't exaggerate the sort of noises it made. Finally, the merc sighs and stands from his work stool, tossing tools onto a roving cart and stepping to his workbench nearby to clean his hands.

Yep, he needs a break.

"Between the two options," Spy says, sidling a little closer. "I definitely prefer this one."

That's a flirt. But that's also a fact. Because the second he saw the flaps come up, he could hear the banjos in the distance.

(he's aware that Engie plays banjo and he's willing to look past that, it's just an expression)

"Good. I do put a little effort into things, you know."

Oh. Right.

He's accounted for pretty much everyone on his path from the common room to the garage, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Not that he thinks anyone except maybe Heavy or Medic wouldn't be totally oblivious.

But he's here already. No backing out now. He does shift a little to a more subdued posture. He forgot himself for a second there. Of course, the mild sheepishness disappears once Engie starts playing with his tie. We're back to that.

He starts to answer the first question, but he sees the hesitation and waits, humming quietly.

"I don't mind you taking the lead if that's what you're asking."

But he's going to take Engie's hand, raising his eyebrow.

"But to answer your first question... I prefer the view."

To emphasize the point, he kisses Engie's knuckles.

Two dudes being guys.

Spy quickly takes another swig of his beer before setting it aside before Engie pulls him in by his tie. He goes along with it easily, stepping forward and settling a hand on Engie's hip with an innocent smile.

"You're the one that needs a 'break', after all. I won't judge how you wish to take it."

The fact that he says that completely straight-faced is a good indication that that was not a double entendre.

"Thank you."

The beers will still be there later. At the very least, the gesture was nice. He idly watches the extension cord get dumped off to the side.

"I do try to make an effort."

There's a reason he's good with the ladies. And occasionally the men. He doesn't push his luck with the kiss, either, leaving it light and (temporarily) innocent. He didn't come here expecting anything to really happen, but hey, he's not going to complain if it does.

"Mm," he muses. "Putting that brain to use, I see."

That's fair. Spy's probably posed for cheap romance novels at some point.

Yahtzee sounds pretty awesome, but Engie's hands are too distracting and definitely far too tempting. Between the hands and the biting, he groans, leaning into the kiss a little more wantingly.

That should be answer enough. But he stops himself, taking a deep breath and nodding with a small laugh. "Perhaps after."

Y'know. If you're down with shaking some dice after boning.

Spy looks down, musing for a moment. Well, if they're both in the mood for this, he might as well take the opportunity to ask about something he's thought over for a while.

"You like my tie, mon amoreux?"

'Sweetheart' - that's a name he could get used to. He laughs quietly into the kiss, but very quickly, with all the little tricks Engie's pulling out, he puts it out of his mind for now.

He's definitely not going to be arguing that Engie's not good at kissing any time soon. He matches ever gesture and motion, placing his hands on Engie's shoulders only to slide them down, feeling out every free inch of his chest before sliding back to settle in his back pockets. His hands stay there even as Engie pulls away.

"Mm. Alright." He pauses there, but fails at maintaining a neutral expression - there's a sly gleam in his eyes now. "Well, you do know how I pride myself in my expensive tastes."

With that, he pulls up, using a surprising show of strength to lift Engie up and sit him on top of the dispenser.

Almost like he knows Engie might be upset at being manhandled so easily, Spy kisses him gently, stepping forward to offer some more support until he's nice and comfy on top of the dispenser.

"Well. A little-known secret is that the French love their misery," he says, slowly undoing his tie. "I'm just maintaining the status quo."

He pulls his tie off and sticks it in his back pocket just before Engie moves in to nip his ear, earning a small huff. He has a smile, and it's more than a little sly.

"Good. Because I must admit, I enjoy this position."

No one is surprised. He gently pulls Engie's overalls down a little more.

Spy scoffs, pretending to sound hurt even as Engie starts unbuttoning his shirt. "I'm wounded," he lies, not even bothering to act the part as he carefully balances between getting these damn overalls off and making sure he doesn't shove Engie off the dispenser.

But teamwork always makes a difference. He doesn't pull them all the way off because that's too much effort right now, but it makes enough room for him to press closer with one more drawn-out kiss and a sigh.

"Mm. Well, to be truthful," he starts, shrugging out of his jacket and tossing it onto a relatively clean table. "This is a good opportunity to test a theory I have."

And with that, he raises his left wrist, clicks his watch, and disappears. Yeah, he didn't forget about this. He pulls away just enough to make his location a little ambiguous and waits. He doesn't want to move forward yet in the off-chance Engie's not feeling it.

ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW MR CONAGHER

Spy laughs quietly once he sees Engie's reaction. He'd figured it would play out this way, but it's always better to be sure.

He steps forward again, gently taking Engie's wrists in his hands and lifting them up just a little.

"Well. Whether or not this would be a rousing success or a dismal failure."

He pulls a hand away, but it comes back pretty quickly, holding onto Engie's wrists a little harder as he wraps them in... something. Unfortunately, it's invisible to him too, so he has to make a judgment call. But when he pulls his hands away, his silk tie fades into view, binding Engie's wrists together.

He decloaks for just a moment to wink and say, "Do let me know if that's too tight."

Spy watches Engie's reaction for a moment, arms folded contemplatively.

"I think we both know science is not my strong suit."

He knows where to put a body so it will decompose faster, but that's pretty much it.

Eventually, he nods and goes invisible again. Very quietly, he moves around the dispenser and, in turn, behind Engie.

"I could put a sapper on this if that would make you feel better."

He draws a single finger up Engie's spine, then steps closer to wrap his arms around Engie's waist, tracing his hands down his stomach. He wants to draw out this tease as much as he can. Although he's not exactly the most patient sometimes.

At least now he knows that sneak attacks work on dicks. And if Pauling has cameras on her moped, well. They'll reference it at the next meeting and then never speak of it again.

"One thing at a time, mon amoreux."

Well. This is definitely getting a reaction. Spy sighs, pressing his lips to Engie's neck, stepping forward to press up against... well, the dispenser, mostly, but his chest is against Engie's back and that's better than nothing.

One hand moves back up to wrap around his chest. As much as he'd love to keep teasing like this, he's surprised at how much Engie's into this and, in turn, how quickly his own dick has jumped to attention. So his free hand dips down to stroke Engie through his underwear, forcing himself to take it slow.

Unless it's a live feed. Spy will pay for the bleach she'll need for her eyes if that's the case.

Spy's cloak flickers as he touches Engie, and he gives a quick glance at his watch. Thankfully, he's moving so lightly that he has plenty of time before it runs out. Plenty of time to see what he can do.

He still has his head against Engie's shoulder, moving up to kiss at his jaw, but he's looking down. He can't help but be a little curious about how it looks for his invisible hand to slide up and then underneath the waistband of Engie's underwear.

"I'm glad you're enjoying our break, laborer," he says quietly, smiling to himself. His pants are getting a little too tight, but he doesn't want to let go yet.

...Huh. Guess he knows how Engie was feeling during their last romp.
