"Get out of my office," Klaus growled.
"Oh, darling, surely you don't want that."
Klaus closed his file and pulled it off the desk as Eroica draped himself halfway across it. Eroica was more than capable of stealing pages from it and showing up later to taunt Klaus with them. He'd most likely already read the coded number on the tab and had some way of translating it into something meaningful to those who didn't have NATO's file naming conventions memorized.
"Out," Klaus said firmly. He picked up his phone. "I can have you escorted out." He smiled. The last time he'd had Eroica escorted out by the director's new security team was a pleasant memory.
"Very well, Major, I'm leaving." Eroica dropped one of his calling cards on Klaus's desk; Klaus would have to burn it to make sure he destroyed any bugs or tracking devices embedded in it. "Do visit me later."
Klaus would do no such thing. He dismissed Eroica's visit from his mind and reopened the file for his next mission.
Three days later Klaus found himself locked into a basement with a decidedly underdressed Eroica.
"Don't you wish you'd come to see me, Major?" Eroica's chattering teeth rather ruined the flirtatious effect he was most likely aiming for. "We could have planned together." There was an emphasis on "planned" that made all of his meanings crystal clear.
For the barest fraction of a second, Klaus did wish he'd included Eroica in his planning. Then Eroica batted his eyelashes at him and said, "Do come keep me warm, darling," and Klaus remembered why he didn't do that whenever avoidable.
Klaus tossed his coat at Eroica, aiming it to land over Eroica's head and ignoring Eroica's squawk of protest. The effort of getting through the door - hinges on the outside and flat panel where the inside of the lock should have been meant Eroica couldn't use his skills to get them out - would keep him warm enough.
