Roman shook his head. “It’s late, there’s a good chance no one saw who it was.” The ship wasn’t usually busy during the designated night hours, and Deck 2 wasn’t usually a very busy deck anyway. “Tea.” Roman liked to only take the coffee when he needed its alcohol content to relax, and thankfully, tonight wasn’t one of those nights. After the disruption he wasn’t eager to let her go, as if to make up for lost time. But he’d have to, so she could make herself the coffee, as well as him the tea.

Rand nodded but didn’t move. Though she felt like that night was a coffee night for her she wasn’t eager to leave to make it. He had the tea here in his quarters, but she didn’t feel like walking the handful of paces to make it. Then suddenly the tension released from her shoulders. She was mad but she wasn’t angry anymore. She was just tired, tired of the extra needless work, tired of the childishness, tired of fixing ‘problems’ (pranks) that should have been problems. Her arms slipped up around his neck and she pressed closer into the hug. Then a soft confession name out, “I don’t want to make it, I just want to stay here.”

Roman could feel some of the tension come out of her shoulders, she was starting to calm down. Then she was pressing in closer to him, her arms around his neck, and he didn’t really want her to go anywhere either. His arms tightened around her, his hands on her back. “Then don’t. The drinks will be there later,” he replied. If she was staying there longer, he was perfectly content with no tea.

~ Roman

Rand let his embrace ease more of the tension out of her. It wasn’t going to do any good to get worked up, she knew that. “Hmmmm, okay.” She had no problem waiting to make tea. Honestly, she thought if he hugged her long enough she wouldn’t need the tea or want the coffee. She lifted her head to look up at him and make some teasing remark about the tea, but forgot what she was going to say. If Rand was honest with herself, she just wanted to pick up where they left off, and she turned that shade of red that Roman liked so much.

Rand looked up at him, and her face flushed bright red, telling Roman she was thinking exactly what he was. That now seemed an excellent time to resume where they’d left off before they were so rudely interrupted. He smiled that smile from before, just a bit mischievous, and said, clearly teasing her just a bit, “Missing what we were up to before, are you?”

~ Roman

Rand’s eyes widened and if possible she flushed even more. “Umm…” yeah she was. Wasn’t he? That would be so horrible if he wasn’t. Then again he seemed to always knew what she was thinking, like right now. So didn’t that mean if he knew what she was thinking he was thinking it too. There was just a trace of a smile on her face, and she teased him back, just a little. “Only as much as you were missing it.”

Rand

Roman’s grin widened, she was right. And he’d succeeded in making her flush deepen. “Then let’s get back to it,” he said, and then, his arms loosening around her just slightly as he leaned towards once more to resume the kiss.

~ Roman

Rand thought that was an excellent idea. “If the comm goes off again, you’ll rip the wires out, right?” She looked totally shocked at her own words and then she stretched up to kiss him again. It was just as wonderful as it had been earlier.
