[ Freshly showered and shaved, wearing a maroonish button-down (rumpled) over dark jeans (also rumpled) beneath a black motorcycle jacket (already worn in at the elbows), John’s cutting a different figure than usual as he walks up the steps to Poe’s building.
So maybe he tried a little.
They’re going out, after all. It’s an excuse to wear something other than his uniform. John’s not the type of guy who wears cologne on a day to day basis, but there’s a spritz of something orangey-woody-leathery-smoky against his skin. Rodney complained about it on his way out. It’s not John’s fault if he smells good enough to kill.
John runs a hand back through his hair (still messy) and knocks on Poe’s door. Clears his throat, and tries not to feel nervous, because they’re just two friends, who sometimes kiss, and sometimes do a lot more than kiss, hitting the town.
They fly shuttles and shoot things for a living. Sightseeing and dinner is nothing to get stressed out about.]
