Home sweet home.

Posted on Tue Mar 1st, 2016 @ 8:39pm by Lieutenant Ventarus Nosplet & Petty Officer 2nd Class Amelia Takethen

Mission: Talosian Perversions
Location: Amelia's quarters

Freshly released from Medical, Ven had only one place to go, home. "Computer, where is Amelia's quarters?"

After the computer spit out the location, Ven made his way. But once there he found himself wondering if it was ok to just walk in. So after a moment of standing out side the door and thinking it over (and gaining strange looks from the passing crew) Ven reached out and hit the door chime.

Amelia had just gotten word that Ven had been released from medical and was just on her way out the door to meet him when the door chime rang. Opening the door, she saw the best sight she'd seen in days and immediately pulled him into the quarters, her arms wrapping around him in a tight hug. "I was just about to go meet you."

Vens arms instinctively slid around her waist and he cut her off by pressing his lips to hers. Even though mentally Ven didn't feel like he had been gone for months, there was a yearning for Amelia that he could not deny. It felt like he had been away from her for a lot longer than he actually had.

As they kissed passionately, Amelia maneuvered them further into the quarters so the door would close and let her emotions just go, almost ravenously kissing Ven. It had been so long since they'd been able to just hold each other like this. "Welcome home," she made out, coming up for air for a moment.

Ven let out a sigh and leaned his head on her shoulder, nuzzling into the crook of her cold blue neck. "My brain does not understand that I was gone, but my heart does and it has missed you." His embrace tightened around her.

"I'm never going to let you go." Calming down a bit, Amelia rested her teeth against his neck - not quite biting, but more of a gentle, loving pressure.

Ven moved his head so she could have better access to his neck and hummed happily. "You don't work in engineering anymore, your going to have to let me go eventually." He joked into her soft white hair. "But for now, please don't."

"I won't," Amelia mumbled. After a few more moments though, she lifted her head back and looked him in the eyes, her own face scrunched up in a smile. "It's funny though. You're now the Chief Engineer and I'm now the XO's yeoman and records keeper for the ship. By the way, these quarters are between the Captain's and the XO's if you need either of them."

For the first time, Ven glanced up and around the quarters. "Wow...moving up from the double bunk you had before. I think you could fit my old room in this one. No more room mates?"

"Not a one," Amelia confirmed just as a furry black and white striped creature skittered across the floor and put its paws up on Amelia's leg. "Oh, other than my new pet skunk, that is." She added, reaching down to scritch the investigative animal behind the ears.

"Skunk?" Ven asked as Amelia pulled from him and petted the furry thing. "I don't think I have ever seen one, what is it?" He asked as he knelt down next to her to look the little guy over.

Kneeling as well, Amelia pet the skunk a bit more as it rolled over on its back and somewhat purred at the attention. "It's an Earth creature that sprays a noxious chemical to evade predators and mark its territory."

"Does it do that here?" Ven didn't detect anything smelling off, but for all he knew humans didn't smell the same way he did. Maybe he enjoyed the smell.

"He's holographic, so no." Amelia replied, ruffling up the fur around his neck so the mini holo-emitter collar could be seen a bit better. "Though he does have to lay on the desk for about an hour each day to recharge his collar."

"Why does it not shock me that you have a holo pet?" Ven asked with a grin, looking back up to Amelia. "I'm surprised I don't have to throw a holo boy friend out."

Amelia giggled softly, still petting the adorable skunk. "I've had the EMH visit me a couple times, but I'd have to use the ship-wide emitters for anything more than this little guy. I did think about making a holographic version of you... but that didn't seem right at all and figured I could put everything I had to much better use. Which I did."

"And then you saved my life." Ven smiled warmly to her. "I doubt I will ever be able to repay what you have done for me Amelia. But what I can do is be loyal to you until I die again."

"Let's see if we can grow old together before then," Amelia replied with a sly grin just before kissing Ven again.

Ven accepted the kiss still with a smile on his face. "Deal." He said finally when the kiss broke.

"Now... Do you want something do eat? Or should we skip straight to dessert?" Amelia still had that sly grin, though she knew Ven might need to eat first and to take it easy for a while.

"The doctor feed me before I left sickbay." Ven said to her with a wink.

As the skunk flopped back over to its paws and hopped up on the desk, Amelia grinned wider. "Then let's reconvene to the bedroom. The view is amazing."

"Amazing idea, you do have a promise to keep after all." Ven slid his arms back around Amelia as he stood with her.

"And I intend to keep it right now," Amelia replied as she pulled Ven into the bedroom. It alone was bigger than both their old quarters, a super king Caitian bed laid out magnificently under windows that ran across a third of the bedroom ceiling. In those windows, the ship was at warp so starlines were streaking by. This was one of the few sets of forward facing VIP and Sr Officer quarters that faced directly forward, which added to the perfection of the moment.

Amelia only had eyes for Ven though. The blue mood lighting and the windows being the only light, Amelia smiled lovingly at Ven as he took in the room. "See? I told you the view is amazing." Indeed, this was the best sight she had ever laid eyes upon.

Ven's eyes glanced around, it was a spectacular room. But his eyes quickly found Amelia again. " Its my favorite view." He said, his eyes locked onto hers, making it clear he was not talking about the room at all.
