In his years dividing his time between Rainsworth and Pandora, Break has made a habit of spending one night a week in his room at headquarters instead of at home. He uses this night to catch up on whatever he's fallen too behind in, so that by the next morning he always knows everything that's going in Pandora and he's done just enough of his own work to get by before he shoves the rest onto his dearest friend.
Liam doesn't find out about these nights until he is invited to take part in them, because Break can't see anymore. They put their jackets aside and kick off their shoes and there's a great big stack of candy piled between them on the chaise; the paperwork takes up most of the coffee table in front of them. Liam dutifully records the other man's snide commentary in the margins, just as Break himself always had, and Break expresses his amused approval by only throwing a few pieces of candy at him that night.
It doesn't take long for Liam to get a crick in his back from leaning over the table, so he moves to sit on the floor and Break stretches out to lounge properly. Close to midnight, Liam glances at the other man and realizes he's dozed off. They're not done, and he really should wake him up so he can at least move to the bed, but he's seemed so worn lately that Liam just can't bear to disturb him and that's the last thought he has before he wakes up slouched over the coffee table with sore shoulders and a deeply entertaining document concerning the eating habits of B. Rabbit stuck to his cheek.
Break wakes up just a few minutes later sore all over and complains to Liam about it all day. It takes them only one more week to decide they officially hate the chaise, and on the third week they move their operation to the bed. Liam drags a nightstand to the foot of it so he'll have somewhere safe to put his pens when they're not in use and finds a large atlas to use as a writing desk; the candy remains in a huge pile between them and they both sprawl out on their stomachs, feet kicking up in the air. It's practically a slumber party. Break teases that it's the most fun he's had doing work in years. Liam snorts at him and refuses to admit that he agrees.
