Thump goes the book and 'whu?' goes Jim's husband. He should be proud that Felix is managing his own shopping trips now, clad in those pajamas that Jim definitely didn't get for him. It's a distracting thought but not an unpleasant one for a change. Coffee in hand, he'll grab a cup of tea for Felix. Knows well enough that the man is not much a fan of Starfleet's lifeblood.
Tiber could be forgiven for picking up such a mix of emotions from his bonded human. Jim's feelings regarding Felix are never usually this complicated. As infatuated as he is frustrated.
"0800. You didn't spend all night there while I was gone, did you?" His gaze tracks to the book that Felix hides away but rather than speak up on it Jim holds out the cup of tea instead when he moves closer. "Shift went well. Spent most of it running tests on some samples Alpha picked up and taking notes. Making sure we're on schedule for our next federation checkpoint."
He might have glossed over more of the explanation if Felix hadn't just spent months studying up on the basics of Starfleet and Jim's work. This is Felix's world now. As much as it is Jim's.
"How was your...nap?" He reaches over with his free hand and gives Tiber a good ruffle between his ears. "I know yours was fine, you lazy shit." All affection there though.
