Up

Date/Timing: 9 January 2019
Setting: Team Vulcan suite, The Shed; Vaucluse, NSW, Australia
Built up from this scrap.
.
Fuming the whole way, Jackson stomps back to the Team Vulcan suite. "If Nguyen thinks a /bagel's gonna get her off the hook, she's got another thing—" Flips on the hall light.
"Where 're ye?" grumbles Logan, squinting against the brightness.
"Seein' off Rapunzel and the crazy science team."
"Why th' hell—Ye got up at five 'n the /mornin' to piss off Rapunzel?"
"Well—I—/No, I just—" Jackson shuts his mouth with a click, deflates.
Logan rolls out of bed, stumbles over, claps him on the shoulder. "I dun wan' that in my head." Trudges back into his room, slams the door.
Jackson jumps, shakes his head.
Andrea calls, ""Wha's goin' on?""
"Logan's being an asshole," Jackson yells back.
""Fuck you!"" Logan hollers through his door.
""No thanks!"" shouts Jason from Andrea's room. 
""If you're up 'cause of Logan—"" Andrea yawns. ""—you'd be up early every day.""
"I don't wanna talk about it."
Low voices from behind Andrea's door.
"Ohhh ... riiiight," she says. 
Lachlan yawns. 
"They're leavin' t'day."
Jackson 'hmphs' rather spectacularly, and then his door slams. 
Andrea sighs, digs deeper into her blankets.
"How badly d'you think he messed up?" asks Jason. 
"'s Jackson."
"Good point." 
Lachlan asks his pillow, ""Think he'll /ever get it right?""
"'s /Jackson."
Jason grins, says, "Maybe I should give him some advice."
Lachlan mumbles, ""'s easy. 'Say something nice', for starters. 'Don't be an asshole.'"" Poofs his pillow. "For fuck's sake."
"/'s /Jackson."
Jason chuckles, slides a hand under the hem of her nightie, splays his fingers over her hip.
Andrea purrs, wiggles closer.
Lachlan hums.
"Since we're awake anyway—" Kisses her nape. "—d'you wanna—"
""Knock that off!"" yells Jackson.
"You're just jealous!" hollers Jason.
""Fuck you!""
"No thanks!"
Andrea sighs, whacks Jason in the face with a pillow.
