note1: Because I like TRON:Legacy far too much and Sam is just so pretty. (So this is post-Legacy, in case I wasn't clear enough.)
note2:Be warned peeps, this is definitely SLASH. Yes. Because I'm a whore.
summary: There's a restlessness in his bones, and a broken city is calling to him. Maybe he can fix it, fix him, even if he can't fix himself. -Sam/Tron-
Alan was talking again. Sam knew he should pay attention (really, he did), but it was just so boring. All the board ever did was talk about stocks, shares, upgrades and profit. Sure, that was important and all, but it wasn't him. Sam was all fast cars, retro games, alcohol and everything good little boys weren't supposed to do. (Alan was nice. He said Sam was just an adrenalin junkie. Quorra was not. She said he had a death wish. He wasn't quite sure who was right yet.)
"...m... Sam... SAM!"
He jumped, musings interrupted by Dillinger Jr., who looks rather put out. Must have been something relatively important then. Damn.
"Hmm?" he replies, trying (and failing. Horribly.) to look as if he had a clue of what was being discussed.
"What did you think of my upgrade patch? You did look it over, right?" They both know he hasn't, not really, and Sam hates the smug grin that sneaks across his face.
"No, haven't quite gotten to it yet. Been busy, you know." He's bullshitting again. There hasn't been much to do at home except teach Quorra about the real world and answer her endless questions. (Sometimes he wonders where she even gets them. He doesn't even remembertelling her about sporks, and has no idea who the hell invented the damn things.)
Alan sighs and Sam internally winces. (God knows he's put that man through enough.) He shakes his head, shoving back his chair and stands.
"Okay then. How about we just call it a day everybody. I'm beat, and I'm sure everyone else is to." He turns to Sam, looking far older than he should. "Sam, why don't you take a break this week. I know you've been busy (lies, and Sam loves him for them) and I think a week of downtime would do you some good."
He's basically banning him from all company business for a week, but Sam really can't bring himself to care as much as he knows he should.
note3: This is pure self indulgence here people, so blah.
note4: So I'm tweaking things a bit because I can. So Sam is 25ish, and if you see anything else that's slightly AU, deal.
