her.
“So, fix the room. What else should we do in the meantime?” The way she bit her lip clearly showed what she wanted to do. Apparently she had some stress to work through. Though I was still bone tired, Wake Ups or not.
“I think talk, and if you aren’t going to stab me, I’m going to take this off and have a shower.” I indicated my Mecha as I stood.
“I won't stab you.” Her tone was a little exasperated as she rose slowly too. I hid my grin. Somewhere deep inside, I’d missed her, and maybe not that deep inside.
I started taking off the Mecha, helmet first.
“You really are slow,” she said from behind me. Just as I was about to whirl around I felt deft hands helping me out of my Mecha, and I relaxed.
“Thanks,” I said. Yasu nodded and shook her head at my Mecha as she went to a closet. I quickly made my way to the bathroom as I saw her pull a deodorizing can for the Mecha.
Maybe I should have spent a little less time in the thing, I thought as I got into the shower. I luxuriated in the feeling of water flowing over me as my muscles relaxed and I felt a little smile form on my face.
I'm with Yasu and I don't mind it,” I said to myself as I continued to wash myself off. Some time later I heard the hiss of the hatch open, followed by the shower opening as I felt Yasu press against my back, hugging me. I felt my eyes widen in alarm as certain, erm, things pressed up against me as she held me.
After a few moments I turned around, facing her.
“I know we used to be enemies, but everything changed when we were recruited. I can see that I was wrong.” She said, looking at my chest as I studied her as well. It was hard not to.
“You are a good warrior, no matter what I said, and I want to make this work.”
“Uhmm, okay.” Brilliant response I know, but I wasn’t exactly thinking with all my brain there.
She grinned as she crooked an eyebrow. “Something on your mind?” she asked.
“Just a lil something.” Her face split into a grin as she reached up, kissing me. It was rough and hard, but I liked it as I pulled her to me. After a few seconds she pulled away, my lips aching for hers.
“It’s about time we made this marriage real.” She guided me to the bedroom, dripping from the shower still as she pushed me on the bed.
The rest resulted in a very wet bathroom and then a soaked bed, which I fell asleep on again. I awoke to Yasu throwing me a battle suit.
“We’re about to start charging wormhole generators,” she said as I got to the end of the bed, putting the battle suit on as she pressed against me, her battle suit seeming much more seductive as I touched and caressed it.
I felt closer to Yasu than I had ever, not because of consummating our marriage, but because we'd shared our lives with one another; we’d talked until we’d fallen asleep about her father, my life with Mecha Tail. I don’t think I’d talked to anyone as freely as I talked to Yasu. I didn’t know what I was saying until I said it. I told her everything and she did the same. There weren’t any barriers anymore. Within a night we’d gone from an unsure two individuals to a married couple, and I kind of liked it. It gave me a sense of security I hadn't had before.
After a few minutes we walked out of the captains quarters.
“I was wondering what was taking so long, but from the pheromones in the air I can guess,” Krom said gruffly as both me and Yasu blushed, a grin on his face.
“I better go and get suited up then,” Yasu said
“See you later, love, and don’t do anything stupid.”
She turned looking back at me and marching up to me with a rigid finger. “Me do anything stupid? Have you seen our battle plan? It’s the stupidest, craziest, most reckless thing I’ve ever seen, and because you made it, and I know how stubborn you are, I expect it to damned well work.” She ended with a smile, grabbing my chest plate and jumping up to plant a kiss on my face before turning and walking
