(For sexual Sunday) I find you aesthetically pleasing, we should be rec partners today! ~bigtrooperbeau
“Oh, excellent!” Mick nodded enthusiastically. “I keep waiting to get a rec assignment but so far nobody has given me one!”
“Wonderful!!” He put an arm around the smaller trooper.
“I find that they play favorites on this ship: people have to find their own partners instead of being assigned. It’s….difficult, to say the least, to find a partner.” He grins and shakes her shoulder good naturedly, although with a little too much enthusiasm. “But I saw the way you handled yourself in battle and I knew I had to ask!”
His arm was warm, and he didn’t try to grope her in the hall. So far, she approved. “It’s so inefficient, this...finding your own partner thing. On my old base, we had a roster, and it changed bimonthly to avoid unwelcome attachments.”
She squared her shoulders and lifted her chin at the compliment. “You handle yourself quite well also. I appreciate that you know your strengths. Too many troopers try to be standouts and end up hurting the collective team, but you seem to understand your function within the team.”
