<<OOC:This is a back log set right after My JL with Rojac>>
=/\= 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.
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".
Mimi blushed as she wrapped the towel around herself. "Captain Rojac
seems very wise... how long do I have to make myself as beautiful as
you suggest?"
Getting up from the floor and standing behind Mimi with his arms
around her and his head chin leaning on her right shoulder he said
with a smile "not long.......I think your pretty with you sleeping and
drool plastering your face to a pillow".
"You do realize there is a sofa and a bed in this place don't you and
you just painted a very unflattering picture." Mimi pulled out of his
embrace and started for the bedroom.
"You know I mean to me your beautiful no matter the situation or how
unflattering the picture maybe, you'll be the one I'll always want to
come home to" Gustav said following Mimi into the bedroom.
"And you're sure you be coming home this time," she asked as she
stopped suddenly and turned around to meet his gaze.
Acting dumb Gustav replied "Why wouldn't I be coming home, I have the
most beautiful woman in the world living with me don't I?"
She turned her head to the side but didn't break eye contact, "You
know what I meant." She turned away not want to think about all the
dark possibilities that just ran through her head.
Not wanting to continue this conversation Gustav went to the wardrobe
and pulled out to suites, his best James Bond style tux and a clown
costume that Mimi had convinced him to wear at a party for some of the
kids on the station including Rachel and Martin.
"Maybe I should have asked where we're going if those are what you're
deciding between." She looked at the couple of dresses that hung in
the closet as her thoughts ran wild.
"Well the circus for this one" Gustav said pointing to the clown
costume "or the best restaurant on the station if you pick this one"
nodding towards the tux.
"Take your pick" he said to Mimi.
Mimi walked over to the clown costume and ran some of the fabric
between her fingers. "That one" she said pointing to the tux at the
last minute.
Gustav smiled and was relived he didn't need to put on the clown outfit.
He undressed, showered and put on the tux and was ready only a little
after Mimi had finished getting ready.
Mimi had pulled on her little black dress and was looking at herself
in the mirror when Gustav asked if she was ready to go. She turned and
looked at him and smiled. She closed the distance between them and
began to straighten his bow tie, then she brushed some imaginary lint
from his shoulders as he put his arms around her waist. Looking up
into his eyes she said, "Be safe," and then their lips met in a
passionate kiss .
"I will as long as your there" was the only thing Gustav could say as
they both turned and left their quarters.
