Summary: Lee and Kara have a secret, and a problem.
Author's Note: Written for the
"Where the hell is everybody??" Pilot!Fic Round Robin. "For frak's sake, what now?" Lee grumbled, flinging an arm over his eyes to block the light as Kara yanked back the curtain of his rack and plunked herself down on the edge.
"We have a problem," Kara began, ignoring the fact that he was still half asleep.
"Don't we always?" Lee sighed, lifting his arm just enough to squint at her.
Kara ignored him and went on. "Have you heard the newest rumors?"
"The ones about the President having a demigod love child, or about you going down on Racetrack in the showers, or me 'spearing' Helo with my 'arrow'?"
"I went down on Racetrack in the showers? Was I any good?" Kara asked with a smirk.
"If you believe Skulls, yeah," Lee smirked in reply, then flopped onto his back. "So which rumors are we talking about?"
"Huh. Who knew." Kara looked just a little smug, then schooled her face back into serious mode. "The Pegasus transfers."
"Transfers?" Lee asked, "Who's being transferred? I can tell you that I'm not frakking signing up with Cain." He grimaced and folded his arms across his chest like a stubborn child.
"Well, um, it's us, Lee. We're being transferred to the Pegasus."
"What? Wait -- both of us?? They can't transfer both of us -- who would that leave as senior pilot?"
Kara rolled her eyes, grimacing. "Lee, could you pull the CAG stick out of your ass for two minutes and see the bigger picture here. They're doing this on purpose, keeping an eye on us." She hazarded a glance at the near-empty bunkroom and dropped her voice even lower. "I think someone knows."
"How could anybody 'know' about *us*, Kara? Its not like we're advertising or wearing bands or anything!" He gave her a careful look. "At least, I know *I'm* not."
"Yeah, well I'm not the one who grins like a lunatic every time he gets laid, Sir."
"No, you just swagger all around and twirl your panties on one finger." Lee dry-washed his face. "What the frak are we going to do now?"
"Well, there will be no panty-twirling today, sir," Kara says, then leans in close, her lips ghosting his ear, "because I'm not wearing any."
Lee smirked, reaching out and ghosting his fingers over her wrist. "Not really helping with the matter at hand, Lieutenant."
Kara's fingers found purchase on him before he could move again. "Oh, I think the matter's well in-hand..."
"Kara," he warned in his best CAG voice. They heard a rustle from one of the other racks. "Go," he hissed, giving her a gentle shove as he eyed the closed curtains warily. "We'll talk about this later."
"Okay, okay. I'm gone." Kara huffed. Lee winced again as she released 'him'. "We still on for later?"
He nodded. "Storage locker on C Deck. 2200 hours."
Kara planted a loud kiss on his lips and walked away laughing. So much for keeping a secret.
