littleorphanalienEven though he's back to work, something's different.
Michael can't put his finger on it. Nothing's changed, other than the guys giving him a wide berth for a while when he first gets back. It's just weird, like he's not as satisfied with the job as he used to be. He still likes working on the cars, but it starts feeling repetitive, boring, and just...not what he wants to do. It's really highlighted when he makes the drone for Luke's birthday and for the first time since before the kidnapping, he really feels alive.
So that's been bothering him, a lot, and it's on his mind as the work day finishes and he heads to the desk to collect Alex.
He waits for the last customer to finish up, hanging back with amusement as he watches the guy try and flirt with Alex, clearly trying to work up some courage, and when he goes, he slaps a piece of paper with a phone number down before bolting.
They're the last in the shop to close up, which means Michael feels pretty safe perching on the desk, eyeing Alex with a mock-serious look. "We might need to have a talk to you about flirting with the customers," he drawls.
