I don't own any of the characters, that's John Finnemore's job. I'm just writing.
Martin could feel his face growing warm and his palms begin to sweat as he planned the conversation with Arthur later. Douglas hardly noticed anything with Caroline hovering around him constantly.
Gertie finally pulled into the airfield. Home at last. Arthur popped into the flight deck. "How're you, chaps? And mum?" His goofy grin filled the room.
"Just fine," grumbled Douglas, his eyes predatorily on Caroline, who giggled. After an awkward moment, Douglas grabbed his items hastily and Caroline attached herself as a regular fixture on his arm. "We're off! Good night, lads!" he called behind him, and they heard the slam of the door.
Martin opened his mouth to speak, but the door interrupted him. Caroline called, "Pack up the cheese tray, boys!" The slam followed their exit again.
Arthur sighed. "They're brilliant, Skip."
Martin simply smiled politely. "Hm. Well, we have to pack up this…tray, then."
They both started on replacing the unused cheeses in their packages. After a moment's silence, Martin ventured, "Erm, Arthur?"
"Yes, Skip?" Arthur's puppy-dog eyes looked happily up at Martin.
"I feel the need to talk to you, seriously."
"Yeah?"
Martin cleared his throat. "I have felt feelings for you, and I feel I felt feelings concerning said feelings on the basis, I have felt, that I may or may not have feelings towards you." He stopped for breath. "It—It means, 'I love you'."
Arthur blinked. The cheese tray was pushed out of the way, and he reached for Martin's cap, removing it and throwing it away. Running his hands through Martin's soft ginger curls, he murmured, "Brilliant, Skip." He had been waiting for this for so long.
The next morning, Douglas and Caroline arrived early, earlier than even Martin. As they opened the door to the flight deck, Caroline gasped.
The cheese tray was flung to the wall violently, and clothes were everywhere. They followed the trail of garments to the flight chairs, where both Martin and Arthur were sleeping nude, hand in hand.
