Messages keep getting clearer Radio's on, and I'm moving 'round my place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face ▶
From the first draft of the corpo!val longfic...
“Good afternoon, welcome. Are you checking in?”
He steps forward to the counter, releasing his touch on Val at last. “Yes. Mitch and Valerie Anderson.”
“Yes, Mr. Anderson, I see your reservation here: four weeks in our lovely Morro suite. It is fully stocked one bedroom with full service kitchen and balcony with a water view.”
“One bedroom?” he falters; he’s certain Val told him there would be two.
“Yes, sir. Is that a problem?”
His eyes slide over to Val as the visual distortion increases and more hormones pump into his system. She squeezes his bicep as she steps up to the counter.
“I believe we had a reservation for your two bedroom suite. I adore my husband,” she says, pausing to look up at him with a sweet smile, and her touch grounds him somewhat. “But this man snores like a fleet of AVs. If I have to share a bedroom with him, I will be suing you to pay for our divorce, and for damages.”
Val’s face lights up as she laughs and he follows her lead, throwing his head back and guffawing. 
“Please, for the sake of my marriage,” he says, still chuckling as he turns back to the receptionist. “Don’t wanna test that prenup.”
Val laughs and swats him with her other hand.
“Let me see what I can do,” the receptionist says and smiles politely. She resumes typing and moments later looks up at them. “I apologize for that oversight. I do have a two bedroom suite available. There will be a slight price difference.”
Mitch waves his hand dismissively. “Whatever Valerie wants, she gets.”
She gives a laugh that he can describe as sultry as she leans into him, and he slides his organic hand down her back to her waist, pulling her tight against his side. 
“Of course, sir. We have adjusted our records. One moment please.”
A new alert pops up in the corner of his HUD, SCAN INITIATED, and it’s time for the first real test of the soft. The new deck from Vik shows the data being received by the scanner:
MITCHELL ANDERSON DOB: 2028-04-29 NATIONALITY: NUSA .... 
The data flowing from his deck matches the info packet passed on by Val and he releases the breath he’s been holding. He glances over at Val who’s watching him, and he gives her a lopsided smile and presses a kiss to her forehead. The chemicals taper off and the disorientation plateaus but he continues to focus on Val, on the feel of her against his side and the soft skin of her arm under his calloused fingertips.
“Very well, you are all checked in,” the receptionist says. “Please let us know if there is anything you require, otherwise please enjoy your stay.”
“Thank you,” Val says with a warm smile, and he nods with an awkward smile.
When the valet directs them away from the desk, Mitch finally releases his grip on Val’s waist and follows her to a bank of elevators.
