open to Tiernan
It was going to be a long night. It was late, and Rory was still at the office trying to figure out the ins and outs of a case. A man had been accused of aiding rebel wizards following Voldemort and hiding them, and it was Rory's job to find the evidence to back it up. He was going through a list of spells that the man had allegedly cast, and it was getting to be mind numbing. He'd had to cancel dinner with his boyfriend again, and he could tell that his boyfriend's patience was running thin.

Sitting back in his chair at the conference table he was at, he rubbed at the bridge of his nose and let out a loud sigh that turned into a huge yawn. He was exhausted, and all he wanted was to go home and crawl into bed for a while. But he couldn't leave yet, not until he found something solid to work with. He wasn't aware that Tiernan was even still there, he'd thought that the man had left hours ago so when he heard the office door open up and he glanced in the direction of the noise, he frowned a little bit. The last thing he wanted was a run in with Tiernan - especially tonight when he was all ready cranky.

Getting up, he decided to head to the breakroom to get himself a fresh cup of coffee and to maybe warm up the rest of his dinner since he was starting to get hungry. He was hoping to avoid his ex, and he was keeping himself busy by looking around in the fridge for his takeout container.

Every time he saw Rory working impossibly late at the office gave Tiernan a grim sort of satisfaction. The young man's boyfriend was second to the job and deep down, Tiernan still felt like the job had everything to do with him. That meant Rory had never gotten over him and it had been a mistake to throw that stupid hissy fit over not going public with their relationship. He was kind of petty enough to want Rory to spend the rest of his life by himself if he wouldn't be with him.

"If you accidentally fall into the fridge and get yourself trapped in there trying to avoid me, I'm not going to come and get you out," Tiernan said from the doorway of the breakroom. He'd been on his way back from the bathroom and he'd seen Rory no doubt trying to hide from him as he ducked into the breakroom. He had his arms folded across his chest, leaning against the door frame, blocking Rory's only exit. Lately, that had been the best way to talk to him--trapping him.

When Rory heard Tiernan's voice, he tensed up a bit. Furrowing his brow and frowning, he snagged his container of chinese food and tugged it out of the fridge before he turned around and let the fridge close behind him.

"I wouldn't want you to come in and get me," he said as he made his way over to the microwave to put his food in it so that he could warm it up. "I thought you'd all ready left - what are you still doing here?" he asked with his back turned to Tiernan still.

	"His name is Jeremiah, and he's not - he actually, you know, cares about our relationship and not what other people think," Rory shot back. Now he was getting irritated, and it showed. He hated how easy it was for Tiernan to get under his skin. "Do you enjoy acting like you're fifteen instead of thirty-five?" he asked, "I need to get back to work. Please move."

	Rory had just gotten his things packed up in his briefcase and he'd been about to leave when Tiernan came into his little office. Frowning, he glanced up at him and turned away to reach for his jacket so that he could slip it on, along with his scarf. "Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This hadn't been the first time Tiernan had tried something like this, but every time it got more and more difficult to say no and to walk away. Rory wondered if Tiernan sensed that, too - felt that he was wearing Rory down. "Don't turn this into some little game," Rory said softly as he turned back around to look at Tiernan. "You think this is funny, don't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rory just stared back at him in silence. Sometimes, or almost all of the time, talking to Tiernan was a lot like talking to a brick wall and it was entirely too frustrating for Rory. "Goodnight, Tiernan," he said as he plucked up his briefcase and grabbed his wand, then moved to head out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
