Sheila stuck her head tentatively into the kitchen. "Dick?" she asked, looking around for the man who had stolen her manufactured heart. She hadn't seen him in a while and was getting worried about him. Unable to find anyone, she started humming and singing as she wondered through the base

"If this is Caboose's doing, I'm gonna kill him," Simmons muttered, wrestling with a spanner in the shower block, fixing up the far shower like Cap'd mentioned. Sometimes, he enjoyed the work. Sometimes, he didn't. This was one of those days. Too much time in the humid air didn't feel like it was doing him any good.
Sighing, he figured it would do the job. He grabbed his tools and headed out, pausing as he heard a voice echoing in the distance.
She's...
At last. Something and someone to lift his spirits. He headed through the corridors, following her voice.

"...Yeah. I can tell." He gave her shoulder a squeeze, trying to comfort her as best he could. "Hey, sometimes they still confuse me and I've been one most of my life."

She laughed softly. "Programs, I think, are not so complicated, barring..." she trailed off, unable to say the word. Rampancy. It certainly made her more complicated than the other programs in the Gulch, but...she was stable now, right? She had Dick...

[simmons2point0]

"Yeah. Just complicated in different ways," he remarked, chuckling slightly, and not too willing to bring the subject up himself. "That's all."

[m808btank]

She smiled at him, grateful. "Will...will you help me...understand better?" she asked shyly.

((Gah. Crap post. >_< ))

[simmons2point0]

"You know I will," he said, smiling back. "Anything you need? I'm there."

((Eh, no worries... ;) ))

She slid her hand slowly down his back in reply. She kept her eyes on his as her delicate sensors traced the feel of his muscles. "I know," she whispered.

[simmons2point0]

"Didn't really need to say, did I?" he murmured right back, toying with a strand of her hair before running the hand gently around her neck and shoulders.

[m808btank]

She shook her head slightly, just enough to cause a few strands of hair to fall into her eyes. "You never do." Her hand slid around to his hip and squeezed lightly.

[simmons2point0]

He smiled at the sensation of her touch playing over his sensors, and brushed the loose hairs free with his other hand, all the better to look down into her eyes. "Of course."

[m808btank]

She leaned her head towards his hand, her eyes caught by his. Tentatively she slides her hand lower, down the side of his leg, a question in her eyes.

He gave a slight nod in reply, answering the question, before following it up with leaning down into a kiss as a confirmation.

[m808btank]

Her eyes shut automatically as she returned the kiss, leaning against him. It had been far too long.
