"What's going on guys?"
Kirsten and Linus immediately stopped their heated discussion when Cameron walked up. Linus looked like the cat who swallowed the canary and Kirsten looked mildly miffed at the communications expert.
"I was just letting Kirsten know about the exit pin code change," Linus explained. Kirsten shot him a dirty look and Cameron's eyebrows shot up in surprise.
"You changed the pin code?" he asked. Linus had sworn as a way to get under Kirsten's (and Cameron's) skin that he would never change "iheartlinus" as long as they worked in the lab.
"I think it's time for a change, don't you Kirsten?" he asked and Cameron feared for his safety by the looks Kirsten was throwing him.
"Let's just get this going," she growled, climbing into the fishtank. Cameron watched her stalk away before leaning down towards Linus.
"What's the new pin code?" he asked. Linus simply grinned.
"You'll find out…" he trailed off ominously.
When the time came for Kirsten to bounce, Cameron saw her furrow her brow before entering the code.
"'iheart…Cameron,'" she ground out.
Cameron froze, his hands stilling on the mice, and Camille was forced to pull Kirsten out of the stitch. He felt the entire lab's eyes on him as Kirsten slowly pulled herself out of the tank and grabbed the waiting towel before she turned and met his gaze. In the background, he could hear Linus snickering. But all he could focus on was the shivering blonde in front of him.
Much like the first stitch, he hustled to her and they stood chest to chest. And to everyone's–including Linus'–surprise, they both grinned.
"Guess the cat's out of the bag," he chuckled, loud enough for the lab to hear, before pulling his girlfriend in for a searing kiss.
Needless to say, Linus wasn't the one with the last laugh that day.
A/N: Hey all! Just a little one-shot that I popped out in about 20 minutes for this post I saw on Tumblr. Speaking of which, follow me on tumblr at brooke0297 if you feel so inclined. :) ~Brooke
