The most aggressive display of 'I am not working right now' I've ever seen.

So I’m at this quiet, high-end cafe in Central, just minding my own business. This guy walks in, hoodie pulled low, completely unstyled hair. He didn't even look at the menu. He just sat down with someone, and the moment his partner pulled out a laptop, he didn't even say a word. He just calmly reached over, closed the lid, and literally slid the thing off the table onto the seat next to him like it was a piece of trash. Then he just... leaned in and stayed there, chin on their shoulder, totally zoning out. Didn't touch his coffee. Just needed to be physically anchored to them. The tension in the air was insane, but he looked so relieved the second he felt them finally stop typing. Is this just how people live when they're this exhausted?

Is it cute or is it just controlling? Sliding the laptop away is kind of a power move.

Reply to cynical_observer: It's not controlling, he's just desperate for an anchor. You clearly don't know him.

That's definitely . He’s known for being allergic to work talk once he's officially off the clock.

Reply to music_nerd_x: He's literally the most affectionate person ever once he's grounded.

Keeping this civil, guys. No stalking.

If you tour that much, you start to hate anything that reminds you of a schedule. Can't blame him.

The way he looked at the laptop before moving it... he looked genuinely pained by the sight of work.

I saw him at the airport yesterday and he looked like he hadn't slept in a week. He probably just wanted five minutes of peace.

Honestly, good for him. Everyone deserves to throw their laptop out the window after a flight.

Wait, is that really him? I recognize that posture. He always does that lean when he's off-duty.
