=/\= Starbase 234:UNITY : Gustav's and Mimi's Temporary Quarters =/\=
Heading back to his quarters after being receiving his promotion and
new orders from Rojac the only thing on his mind was telling the most
important person to him, Mimi.
Over the last six months Mimi and Gustav had grown very close to one
another going on date after date until Mimi asked him to move in
together, this shocked Gustav as Mimi didn't take the lead on most
things but he agreed without thinking about it to much.
Mimi had the rest of the afternoon off and she was going to take
advantage of it.
Gustav was going at some pace when it dawned on him that she might not
be there, stopping half way he tapped his comm badge
+taps+ "Kroitzer to Ensign Hopeler"
She stretched to reach the combadge from her current location to
answer the call.
+taps+ "Yes"
+taps+ "Just wondering where you are, I need to talk to you"
+taps+ "In our quarters." splash!
{Oh, darn where'd that bar of soap go.}
Starting towards their quarters again Gustav carried on with the
conversation with Mimi.
+taps+ "What was that slash?" Kroitzer asked wondering what Mimi was up to.
With a sigh Mimi forgot the soap for the moment and stretched for the
combadge again.
+taps+ "Uummm.... nothing. Could we finish this when you get here?"
+taps+ "Sure thing love, Gustav out" Gustav said hurrying to the quarters.
Five minutes later he was at his quarters, he entered and upon not
seeing Mimi he gently called out her name "Mimi".
She had thought she heard her name and she called back, "In here,"
from the tub where she had finally located the soap and was trying to
wash her back.
Not really thinking about where the response came from Gustav went
into the bathroom where he say Mimi soaping herself up in the bath {I
wish we had a bath big enough for two}.
Kneeling down by the bath splashing the water abit Gustav started
talking "I've got to head to starbase Bragg tomorrow I'm not to sure
how long I'll be gone for".
"But.." she started and then fell silent as she wasn't sure what she
wanted to say just that she wanted to object. Feeling a bit
frustrated, she tightened her grip on the soap causing it to slip
through her fingers and toward Gustav.
"Ouch" Gustav said rubbing his forehead where the soap hit it, "Don't
worry it'll not be that long plus I'll be coming back in style, on a
stead if you will, I'm going to help finish the new Chimera" he added
with a smile on his face.
"That's not all, I've been promoted to Acting lieutenant JG" Gustav
showed Mimi the new bar on the collar of his tunic.
She raised up out of the water a bit saying, "congratulations!" She
then put her arms around his neck and plastered herself to him as she
gave him a kiss in celebration.

Not really caring how wet he was becoming he wrapped his arms around
Mimi and kissed her back saying afterwards "I figured we could go out
tonight to celebrate" {Even if the situation isn't ideal considering
Rick's condition}.
"Are you sure," she asked knowing that Gustav hadn't felt like doing
much but whatever Rick's last orders were since .... rick's accident.
She stepped out of the tub using Gustav's shoulders for balance and
reached for the towel behind his shoulder.
Still looking at the bath water contemplating what to say, Rojac's
words entered his mind "we need to keep moving, neither the universe
or this world is going to slow down for us to grieve." he said to Mimi
adding "Captain Rojac said this to me before I came to see you.....I
just seemed to put things into perspective.....well that and having a
beautiful woman there with me always helps".
