[trailing after apollo is almost second nature to him by now, and it takes him a moment too long to remember he's actually free to walk alongside him instead. a moment to stretch his stride out enough to match apollo's pace. there isn't a team to account for. isn't a need to fan out here. so if he ends up with their arms brushing every other step, well, who's to stop him?
another identical corridor, and midnighter's attention drifts from the surroundings and back towards the two of them. towards apollo, really. working out his own next moves will come during the dead of night. when he's free to slip in to the shadows and explore the station alone.
no, instead, it's apollo who keeps his attention. something he'd denied himself for months now. he'd only returned to the carrier that day, and the two of them hadn't had a chance to talk. hadn't done anything more than given a few cursory greetings and words safe for an audience. now may not be the time to discuss it, but he can at least take the opportunity that presents itself and silently bask in his husband's presence.]
