Shoving him off into the sofa beside her willow looked around for a time piece. “What time even is it?”

“Nearly 1:30am” he said sounding not a slight bit concerned and munched more food while she rubbed her face in dispare. He grinned “ohhh you’re gunna be in so much trouble. You even look tired, pale, dark circles the whole thing.”

She shoved him off the back of the sofa where he laughed from the floor in a way very reminiscent of The villain from the film.

Willow & Cai

The door to Willow’s quarters slid open and Brad stalked in, an unhappy look on his face and with an obvious case of bedhead, wearing an old blue uniform under-shirt and lurid green scrub pants.

“Does anyone want to explain why the ship’s AI just woke me up at zero one- thirty in the relative morning to tell me that the one person on this ship who’s actually registered as my patient is disobeying medical orders again?” he asked.

Cai, who had just pulled himself up to the back of the sofa, took in Brad’s appearance and burst out laughing again, he pulled himself together long enough to excuse himself from the room.

Brad followed his departure with a scowl.

Willow, captain of the ship and the authority of the place, made a sound that sounded like “eeep!” On Brads dramatic entry. She ran her hands though hair hair leaving it sticking up at odd angles, not exactly helping her general appearance. A sheepish look and she began babbling.

“Not disobeying…We were just…movie night…you know i’m in charge around here right? you can’t just walk in here…we just had pizza…and ok two films…but it’s fine…I’m fine…I just…” she looked him up and down and despite herself she stifled a laugh.

“What do you look like?” She asked giggling.

“I look like I grabbed the first two items of clothing in reach at 0130 so not to look like a complete madman stalking the corridors in my underpants to drug my boss into the sleep she should have started getting three hours ago,” Brad said. “You, on the other hand, look like this is not the first time this week you’ve decided against being in bed by 2200 like you told me you would during your physical three weeks ago.”

Willow bit her lip, somehow his annoyance was still funny. She coughed and rubbed the sore spot on her neck and opened her mouth then closed it again.

“I had reports to finish…there’s a lot of admin work you know in commanding a ship…I know I promised and I have been! Mostly…” she grimaced. “I’m fine honestly I’m fine. Look I’m going to bed, right now! So you can go back to bed and stop scowling at me.” She gave him another sheepish sort of grin and made a mental note to remove GALENs ability to alert Brad somehow.

“Yes, funnily enough, I’m quite familiar with Star-Fleet’s administratrivia,” Brad deadpanned, before stalking forward and sweeping her off her feet, throwing her over his shoulder and moving to the door to her bedroom.

“Also, I don’t believe you, so I’m not leaving until you actually are in bed and asleep,” he said.
