Nor // AU
[everyone's pretty thrilled that the two odd-men-out have finally been sent up to the surface for an extended mission. the underground world gets a little peace and quiet, and the boys get to stretch their legs. the sniper is much easier to assuage when there's a sun in the sky and more than cell walls to keep him occupied.
they've found a little bar in which to bide their time; shoved between a smoke shop and a greasy restaurant, it's a prime spot for anyone who wants to kick back after their shitty day job. it's dark, it's noisy. smells kind of like sweat and the cigarettes everyone's smoking just out back. someone is almost always blocking the hallway to the restrooms with their oblivious mass. but the neon signs reflect back through the lines of glasses and bottles pretty nice, and the booze is cheap if you order the right things, and there are enough chatty pricks around to keep Robin from getting bored. Irahl, for the most part, has had the luxury of getting plastered in peace.]

Irahl's eyes close again. he doesn't budge when the mattress dips and shakes as his partner turns away. his breath is already slowing to his usual corpselike pace. like this, Robin could probably get away with a lot before he would ever notice--let alone remember in the morning.
the giant has been slain.]

he lays there for a little while after, his mind swimming uselessly while his body lies still. but it's nice, it's quiet. his subconscious is reassured by the heavy weight behind him. his thoughts aren't of anything in particular. he could almost fall asleep himself.
but he likes Irahl too much to settle, even now. he ends up rolling back, propping himself up on his arms again... and after putting himself back in order, he gives the dragon a moment of drunken consideration before he puts him back in proper order too. he thinks he's doing the guy a favor, or something--but it probably won't amount to much once rational thought takes over in the morning.
after that, the only thing left to do is to wedge himself in close. he even steals one of the dragon's arms to wrap around himself, because it's not like the guy is going to wake up and stop him. it isn't long before Robin falls into a death-like sleep, warm and content, without a single fear or nightmare biting at his heels.]
