0200 Aboard the H.M.S Ark Royal | "Tea Garden" Building
Riley had been aboard the Ark Royal for an hour now, undetected by Campus security and civilians alike, he was there for her after all… and he wasn't in the mood to be caught. He moved stealthily along the side of the Tea Garden building chuckling to himself as he remembered the ridiculous but cute tea based names the Tea Garden had. The doors to the Tea Garden building were locked at this hour but that didn't really matter to him, he simply picked the lock on the door and entered, moving quietly along the wall. His eyes were scanning each door but he couldn't make out the names in the dark, he silently cursed to himself for not thinking ahead and it only got worse from there.
"Hhree… Hhree… Hhree…" the alarms blared as the security had found the pick locked door and were now on alert to find the intruder. Riley moved quickly after the alarm had started blaring, he reached the end of the hall and ducked into the closest room, hitting the ground and rolling under the bed praying they wouldn't find him. He heard a soft yawn from above him and slowed his breathing, before he heard the door open and several people enter before they began talking. "Commander, have you not heard the alarms, someone broke inside the building." "My Apologies Assam and Pekoe, I've been a bit troubled as of late… since he left." "Of course Darjeeling, I wonder who broke in though, maybe it was Yukari doing recon for next summer's season?" "No, she wouldn't be at it this early, considering we'll be redoing our arsenal for the this summers tournament…" "Do you want me to have security continue to look for the intruder and then have them questioned?" "No, thats quite alright Assam and Pekoe, go ahead and close the door… whoever enter my room and hid under my bed, you can come out now."
Riley cursed, before appearing out from under the bed, his arms raised in defeat before his eyes settled on his ex-girlfriend. "Darjeeling, were you awake the entire time I entered?" Darjeeling giggled lightly, before returning to her serious gaze "Of course I was, only you would've been able to sleep through those alarms, trust me I know… know why are you here?" Riley froze, he'd been expecting to be alone with her not with Assam and Pekoe here as well. "Well, I wanted to talk to you alone, but I doubt that's going to happen." Darjeeling nodded before motioning for him to go on. "Well Darjeeling, I'm actually here for you… after I left I couldn't handle myself without you keeping me in line…" He chuckled to himself, before speaking again. "And I realized something when I left… I think I love you Darjy." He said using the nickname he gave her. "I don't know what to say Riley, but I think I love you too… all that time we spent together I enjoyed that sometimes more than tankery itself." Riley smiled and went towards her, crawling on top of the bed and snaking his arms around her waist, pulling her on top of him before lightly kissing her lips. "Gods, I've missed you… it makes me want to get a home here just to see you everyday."
