Mission: Devotion of Time
Timeline: Right after Warp 9 Joyride

Ven exited the bridge with Amelia on his arm. He was still a little worried he had done something to worry her but he also looked very proud walking the halls with her holding onto his arm as they walked. He stood in front of a turbolift and hit the call button.

"Is everything ok?" He asked as they waited.

"Yeah, I just get nervous around higher ups is all." Amelia was looking a bot more relieved now that they were off the bridge. "Especially wearing what I'm wearing."

I have seen people on the bridge with costumes from the holodeck on. I don't think the Captain cared that you were dressed down. She's probably just happyou we discovered the ship...that you discovered it." Ven stepped into the lift once it showed up. "What deck are your quarters on?"

"Deck 13. It would probably be better to go to yours though. My roommates are probably sleeping." Amelia said sheepishly.

"You want to come to my place?" Ven's heart started pounding in his chest. He had never had anyone in his quarters, let alone a girl. Its ok Ven, she's a friend. Friends spend time with each other. "ok...deck 12." Ven called out and tried not to look nervous.

Amelia looked confused for a moment. "You're on deck 12 as an officer? That's unusual."

"I just never moved when I got promoted. Its closer to engineering also." Ven explained.

"That makes sense. You don't have any roommates, do you?" Amelia wasn't sure if she wanted to do anything that would require them to be alone, but she did value solitude. It would be nice to not put up with 3 other people for a little while.

"No!" Ven said sharply and shook his head hard, causing his goggles to slid around his head. "I would rather set up in the Jefferies Tubes then live with someone else. I don't...live well with others."

"Not surprising. Honestly, I'm amazed you haven't set up a tube junction as your quarters." Amelia said, giggling a bit at the thought.

"There...maybe be a junction that I hang out in." Ven admitted. "But that's between you and me. Sometimes it's just not worth crawling out you know?" Ven blushed a little. He had never told anyone about his secret spot before.

"I do know." Amelia looked around the turbolift nervously. "Is it just me or is this turbolift moving at the speed of plot? is there a level we have to clear or something?"

"Something else for me to look at..." Ven sighed. "You'really right though. Very slow."

Amelia sighed and clung to Ven tighter as the turbolift doors finally opened. "There we go. Lead the way."

Ven glanced at Amelia as she clung to him. "This way." He said, leading her down the hall and in to his room.

The room was spotless, to the point that it looked like no one lived there. Other then a few PaDD's that were stacked neatly on the coffee table it looked like the day Ven moved in.

"Computer, Lights." He said and took his duty jacket off and carefully hung it on the back of a chair. The messy stained coat was odd looking in the sterile room. "Welcome." He said to Amelia.

"Thanks. I'd comment on the decor, but there is none." Amelia looked around the room. Definitely empty.

Ven shrugged. "Its just where I sleep. Would you like anything?" He asked moving over to the replicator.

"Andorian ale please." Amelia flopped onto the couch, relaxing and trying to put a dent into the still new cushion.

"One Andorian ale and one ice water." He said to the replicator and once the glasses were there, he took them to the couch. "Here you go." he said handing the ale to Amelia.

"Thanks," she said, taking the glass and sipping from it. "Ah replicated... So sad..."

Ven took a long drink of his water. "I have never had it. What's it like fresh?"

"Like slamming your head into an iceberg." Aewia said bluntly.

"Ill stick with water in that case." Ven said looking into his cup.

"Suit yourself. So do you want your massage tonight or in the morning?" Amelia asked, equally as bluntly.

"Perhaps in the morning would be best." Ven admitted. He pulled the goggles off his head and set themy carefully on the coffee table. "The captain said tomorrow is likely to be a busy day."

"Fair enough." Amelia sipped from her glass and leaned against Ven. "Mind if I beat you up to show you how much I like you?"

"Uh...what?" Ven asked. But he didn't pull away from her. He liked the feeling of her leaning agin him. "You...could just tell me." He offered.

"Yeah, I get the feeling you wouldn't enjoy the normal Andorian declaration of love." Amelia said as she snuggled tighter to Ven.

He tried very hard to not act nervous, but it felt like his heart was about beat out of of his chest and his hands trembled slightly. "Declaration of love?"

Amelia downed the rest of her ale, setting the glass on the coffee table. "Yeah." she said simply. She didn't have any other words right now. She just wanted to cuddle.

Ven took a very long drink from his cup and set it also on the table. When she leaned back on him he put his arm around her and took a deep breath to try and steady his nerves.

Snuggling tighter to Ven, Amelia sighed heavily and closed her eyes, half snoozing. "Ok maybe not love, but snuggles. Is there a declaration of snuggles? I hope it involves a blanket."

"There is a blanket on my bed." It took Ven a second to realize the he just suggested they go to his bed.

"Sounds warm. Want to move to there then?" Amelia said sleepily.

"Uh..." things were progressing along quite fast for Ven's taste. He took a deep breath and figured what the hell. "Yes?"

Amelia grinned mischievously. "Want me to carry you?"

"Is that some kind of Adronian thing?" Ven asked her with a confused look.

"No," Amelia roused a bit, looking into his eyes. "Maybe. It's just a show of strength. Similar to hitting you but less violent, I guess."

Ven bit his lower lip in thought for a moment. Then he nodded. This would be a good compromise. "If it would make you happy then please, carry me to bed. But your physical strength is not attractive to me. You have already proven your mental strength to me and I find that far more appealing."

Amelia stood up and stretched a bit before easily picking Ven up and carrying him to the bedroom, she set him on the bed tenderly before flopping next to him and snuggling up. "There. That's better."

Thats was only completely embarrassing. Thank god no one was around to see it. Ven stretched out and put an arm around Amelia when she snuggled up to him. "So...I'm guessing your not going anywhere tonight?"

"Only if you snore more than all 3 of my roommates combined." Amelia replied, snuggling tighter.

"You will have to let me know, I tend to be asleep when the would happen." He really like the way she was laying against him, and she smells so good. Ven never really saw himself as the kind of guy who got the girl, but he was staring to understand the appeal.

Ven drifted off to sleep in Amelia's, and he didn't snore once all night long.
