“You know maybe we should ask someone where we are going instead of roaming about like two zombies. I mean XO’s get lost all the time. No one will think anything if we stop for directions,” Paris teased him.

“Noooo,” Mason said, letting it run into a drawn out answer. “XO’s do not get lost all the time, and anyway I am sure that this time of night most people are asleep and waiting for their next shift, best not to wake them and make a fuss, especially if we are like a couple of zombies.” Mason grinned and took Paris’ hand, then pulled her into a turbo lift. “Lets try the next floor, see if we get lucky.”

“Or maybe we get lucky in the turbo,” Paris hit the button for the emergency stop. The ride came to an abrupt halt. The occupants didn’t feel it due to the inertial dampeners but they could hear the metal and plastic moan a bit from the strain. Pushing off the wall Paris moved in front of Mason wrapping her arms around his neck. “Thank you,” she said softly pressing her lips to his.

Mason let his hands wrap around her waist and the feeling of her lips press against his for a time, letting them linger before he pulled back slightly and looked at her. “What for Bub?”

“For being you,” she responded looking deep in his eyes. “For this,” she gestured around her. The family question had been raised, dealt with, and solved but his transfer to the Odin was all for her or at least that is how Paris viewed it. Mason had been thrilled with the fast little ship and small crew. He thrived on knowing everyone personally yet for all the Asimov offered, it did not give her one thing: the chance to have a family. The Asimov was not a family ship so in order to have what she wanted Paris was going to have to give up her dream and ride her career out with Mason or have her dream and spend weeks to months without her best friend by her side. It was a situation she struggled with until he got the Odin.

He smiled at her, and then let his lips press against hers again, harder this time before pulling back once again. “You know I did this for you and for us. The Asimov was a great little ship, but it was a great ship for a single man with a dream to be a Captain.” Mason pulled Paris closer into him and let his arms wrap around her waist, and just held her for the moment. “My dream is to be with you,” he told her softly, “my best friend, my companion and my partner in crime, and my fiance. After what happened on the colony on Beltran II, the Asimov wasn’t the best place for us anymore. You are worth everything I do, Paris. Always have been and always will be.”

Cmdr Black, XO
