"Do you think I should talk to your doctor first, get the official medical opinion, or just say to hell with it because we're both apparently jumping into this cannonball style?"
"Yeah. I'm the luckiest bastard in the Shatterdome." He squeezes Malcolm's shoulder and slips out of bed, loose and fluid and easy. He won't be gone long, just needs to slip into the mess and sneak what he needs with a wink and a smile.
No, at this point, he thinks he's the luckiest. It's...strange. A little disconcerting, even, to be so casual and relaxed around someone, but it's such a wonderful sensation to slip into. Does he really want to let that go? Even if it's...this side of terrifying? Malcolm calms down, chills out, just a little while York's gone, enough to feel a slight bit more normal, and he's okay with that.
So the mess isn't open and it's been awhile since he's last really broke and entered but- hey. How hard can it be? The locks aren't all that complicated and he does make note of what he grabs up for dinner- in Chuck's handwriting not his- and packs himself a little bag of chicken, veg, a can of soup, a can of coffee- pudding cups because why the hell not, and juice boxes. He ducks back in without getting caught and slips back into his room with his spoils in his bag. "So it's not much but it's dinner."
He stares at York for a moment, then peers into the bag of goodies, and back again, trying and failing to contain a smirk. "Really putting some of your skills to good use, I see."
"You're terrible. If you really wanted some good food, we could've gone out to see what's still open and serving at this hour." Not that he's complaining. Not really. Not when he nabbed some pudding cups.
"Somehow I doubt that. But then, I was always a good kid who never broke into anywhere before." Yes, he's going to tease. Because York is easily teased. "I'll still eat it, of course. Because you so kindly obtained it to share."
"We'll be fine. Besides, you gotta go into the drift when you're outside your head exhausted sometimes. Kaiju don't care about sleep schedules when they hit the rift."
"I'm aware." Although at the same time, it's not good to send an exhausted team out if another could take their place and still have good odds of taking out a kaiju. "Do you think that's how we should do it? Just be exhausted staying up all night having our little just-us party, so if it works, it'll only get easier from there?"
"God no." He snorts a soft laugh. "We fell hard into one of my childhood memories because she didn't really have a living or loving mother growing up. It was kinda bizarre playing piggyback to just- knocking around as a family, you know?"

Well only it's illegal if he gets caught and he never has been.
