Down on the surface of the planet Zokez II, Stacy's erstwhile (and hopefully much more relaxed) crew began receiving messages over their comm rings and omnicoms
( Read more... )
This shore leave had been just what Cassie needed. She could stay here forever. And by here she meant cuddled up next to Nate, head nestled below his chin, hair splayed out across his chest.
This was the best vacation- no, the best week ever.
And then Stacy's voice was in her head.
"Mm-" Cassie blinked.
Left behind-
"Oh #$%&!" Where were her things? Actually, where was her plantsuit? ...Or had she been wearing her dress last...
"Mnn, Cassie wha-" The 'boy genius' spoke groggily as he slowly came out of the best sleep he'd had in...quite a while. He'd half thought it had been a dream, but no, here she was, next to him. A smile began to make its way across his face when Stacy's message repeated itself and he blinked. Okay, he was up.
Quickly sitting up, he pushed his hair from his eyes, laying a calming hand on his...damn, they really needed a label for what they were. Aside from traitors that was. But that was the last thing on his mind at the moment. He laid a calming hand on Cassie's shoulder, fingers brushing tenderly across her skin.
"Hey. Relax, Cassie. She's not talking right this minute. I'm sure we've got at least an hour before she pulls us all back. Come on, relax." He smiled, arms sliding around her waist from behind as he placed a kiss to her shoulder.
Hey, nothing traitorous about it now. Cassie had broken up with Jonas and everything. Never mind the fact that she had been making out with Nate while she was still with Jonas, that was beside the point.
"This is Stacy we're talking about." She looked frantically about for- oh, O.K. so she had been wearing her dress last. But better put on the plantsuit just in case. "It'll probably take at least an hour to get everything together and go over- mmmm." Despite herself, she couldn't resist leaning back into Nate's arms. "We really shouldn't."
Well, there was that. But Nate got the feeling that that fact was a small consolation to his 'brother.' He really needed to go and see him soon. He'd just have to make sure that his armor was on...yeah. That would probably be the smart thing to do.
"She's never been anything but logical before. Giving us ample time to get ready is logical." Yes she had been wearing her dress. Nate remembered quite vividly getting it off after all. But that was a thought for another time. Preferably a cold shower time. "Not if we get it all together real fast. I can help you pack if you like." He smiled against her skin, pressing a kiss to her jaw. "Packing's pretty important, huh?"
"Well..." Cassie wavered. "I guess if we pack first. How much did you buy here?" Fortunately most of her new toys purchases were bundled away safely. She just needed to make sure everything was in its place. She'd hate to accidentally leave anything behind.
"Not much. Just wiring and a couple other materials I needed. It's all packed, I just need to throw my clothes in with them." It was times like this that it was easy to remember he was a boy. Really, who needed different bags for different things? Just throw all the wiring and tools in the same bag as clothes, what was the big deal?
"You're sure the wires aren't going to get tangled and messed up, right?" Cassie packed her dress away and did a count of everything she'd bought. All there. Good. She grabbed her plantsuit but didn't put it on just yet. She looked over her shoulder at Nate. "What are you working on anyway?"
"Yeah, no sweat. And even if they do, I can straighten them out later." On the other side of the room, one of the blankets wrapped around his waist, Nate was chucking his clothes rather unceremoniously into his bag, leaving just one set out for later use. At Cassie's question though, he looked over his shoulder at her, grinning. "Upgrades."
Sorry Cassie, as super-smart as he was, even Nate wasn't quite immune to boy disease. The combination of her turning, and that look on her face forced his brain to completely disengage for a moment. A second later however, the lights seemed to snap back on and he refocused his gaze on her face. "Uh...you know, the armor. And...stuff."
"It wasn't his fault that the girl he was with was completely gorgeous. In or out of her clothes. Though the fact that she was... minimally dressed at the moment went a long way to emphasizing just how gorgeous. He did a quick, last run-through of his things, throwing the last items into his bag and zipping it quickly closed. "All done. In record time, too."
||Attention, crew,|| Stacy's voice rings out once again across the comm rings. ||Your fellow crew mates Cassandra Lang and Nathaniel Richards are currently holding up plans to depart because they are having trouble keeping their hormones and amorous intents at bay. So now if they get left behind, you all know why.||
"What the fu-" There was a moment's pause. A long moment's pause as Nate simply stared wide-eyed at the ceiling. Then, here Stacy, have some very loud cursing in your general direction. "You can't even give us five minutes?! Come on! What the hell, Stacy?!"
Yeah. People should generally wear clothes before flailing begins.
This was the best vacation- no, the best week ever.
And then Stacy's voice was in her head.

It didn't seem like he was in any rush.

She turned away from Nate and began to slip her plantsuit on. "Stupidstupidstupid..."
