A/N: In this series with the bunch of same old generic Trigger x Rosa fanfics that feel like they make little sense since they never meet or have any history save for one line at the end, I thought why not make a story about the pairing between the two people in game who have higher chance of being together given their interaction throughout the game, as these two seem more feasible after all.

A Normal Talk

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtain cracks and fell on Trigger's face, making him slightly flinch and raise his hands to rub his eyes. Except that proved difficult with both hands so he only used one, then it hit him that he couldn't move one arm completely. He was instead holding something soft with his other hand and the arm itself was under a pressure. He thought maybe he fell asleep with his arm around his pillow and felt a little embarrassed that he cuddled with a piece of cloth filled with cotton till he realised that he had his head on his pillow, and what he was holding wasn't only soft, but bigger, heavier, warm and very much breathing.

Trigger's eyes shot open and his breathing hitched as he realised a few things; One, he was very much naked and sore. Two, there was a head full of short messy dark brown hair in his face. Three, that head of messy hair belonged to a lightly tanned woman, who was naked as well and lying on top of him, and she had her arm around his chest. Trigger's eyes widened as he came to the realization that he was gripping Avril's ass.

"Aw, shit..." Trigger thought to himself. "She's gonna kill me..."

Him writing his will had to wait, since he was now tasked with the difficult job of getting her off him. It didn't help that she had a leg draped over his legs, and he tried to ignore the wet sensation he could feel down there on both their legs. But he knew he'd he a liar if he said he didn't enjoy any of this. He only had one choice left when he realised there was no getting up easily.

"Hey, psst. Avie." Trigger whispered to the sleeping woman on him. "Hey, come on. Wake up."

Avril started stirring and groaning before tightening her iron grip on him. Trigger felt her quite large chest push into his own and it made the situation even worse when he felt another part of him wake up at the contact.

"I am the most luckiest fucking idiot alive, holy fuck." He thought to himself and he stared directly up at the ceiling.

"Avie. Avril!" He whispered in a slightly louder voice, which worked. Avril opened her eyes and rubbed them with her free hand and slowly raised herself up off him slightly.

"Damnit what is it, I was having such a good dream, dumbass." She said as she rested her chin on his chest and glared at him before she realised where she was and what she was doing.

"Uhh... good morning?" Trigger cautiously said.

Both of them stared awkwardly at each other, electric blue eyes into hazelnut orbs before she turned away and looked around her. She then brought her gaze back to him.

"Hey..." She started. "Did we..?"

"Yes, yes we did. Last night." Was Trigger's answer.

After a few seconds of deep breaths, Avril showed him a big smile and leaned forward to place a brief kiss on his lips before darting her tongue across them and pulling away.

"For what it's worth, I enjoyed it, dumbass."

"So you're not mad?" Trigger asked hopefully as he tried to slowly get up.

"Mad? Silly, why would I be mad? And hey! Stay a while, don't get up yet." she asked him as she rested her head on his chest again after pulling him back onto the bed.

"I dunno, I just thought... that maybe you wouldn't have wanted it to escalate this much last night.. or maybe I'm- mmmpph!"

Trigger's eyes widened for the second time as he felt Avril slam her lips into his again more aggressively and sloppily this time. She opened her mouth and flicked her tongue across his shut mouth requesting entrance. He obliged and felt her tongue enter his own and wrestle with his for few seconds as he melted into her touch before she retreated. "God, you're a handsome reckless caring dumbass of a pilot, but at the end of the day, you're still a dumbass."

She rested her head onto his chest again and wrapped her arms around him. Trigger showed a soft smile and kissed her forehead before wrapping his arms around her as well.

"I didn't know you cared that much." He asked her.

"I thought I was being pretty clear!" She looked up at him again.

"You were?! Since when?" Trigger asked her incredulously.

"Ever since Zapland, dumbass."

"Since way back then?! But you avoided me around that time, except-"

Avril shook her head and said, "Exactly. After I realised what kind of an idiot you were who flew dangerously and pushed his plane to the limit, I knew I had to keep an eye on you and your jet. Of course then one thing led to another, and I even built you your own custom part! Remember your thank you? You already said everything that needed to be said."

"Oh right... you went from being wanting to be left alone to opening up to me..."Everything became clear to him as he recounted all the times she'd called him dumbass in a joking but caring manner, often being concerned for his well being and prioritising him over the others. Near the end of the war, she had gotten real close to him. But something still felt-

"I still prefer watching you do dumb shit from the sidelines, though."

Trigger grinned at her. "That's not the only thing I've done now that last night happened."

"Don't push it." Avril glared at him.

"OK, OK." Trigger chuckled as he pulled her in closer to him.

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke up again.

"After you got transferred, I tried to find out where you went. Even tried to blackmail McKinsey."

"Oh my god, you blackmailed McKinsey?" Trigger looked at her in disbelief.

"Yeah, it didn't work out in the end anyways." She looked up at him. "I had found this old phone in the storage, it gave me an idea to confront him about his plans which were to..."

But Trigger wasn't listening, he was staring deeply at her round face and her hazelnut eyes that stood out and shone with even more life in the sunlight as she talked. 'Since when did she have such beautiful eyes?'

"Hey dumbass! You with me?" Avril waved a hand in front of his face making Trigger snap out of his trance and blink.

"Oh sorry! I just got lost in your eyes." Trigger said subconsciously before he realized what he had said to her. 'Oh god, what did I just say.' He thought.

Avril felt herself heat up at the compliment and stuttered, "Shut up, dumbass." And looking away from him.

Trigger gave her a look of surprise before he showed a big grin and slowly rubbed his fingers on her backside. "Cute."

Avril dug her fist into his stomach and buried her face deeper into his chest. "Don't call me cute, I ain't cute."

Trigger's grin widened even more as he cupped her face and made her look at him. "Maybe, but you're cute to me, Scrap Queen. And really hot, too." He said before bringing her face closer to his for another kiss.

"My god, you're awfully corny." She said before she connected her lips with his again. Trigger slowly trailed one hand down her back while she started grinding her legs against his own carefully under the sheet before she broke the kiss.

"You know, we should really get up." She said as she sat up on his stomach and let the sheet fall off her body.

"What? No, five more minutes." He whined as he wrapped his arms around her petite waist and pulled her back into him again.

She let out a small laugh at his needy behaviour. "Ok fine, dumbass. Just for five more minutes." She planted another small kiss on his lips before resting her head back on his bare chest. Trigger reached both his hands under her thighs and held them as he slightly but gently brought her up and closer to him and nuzzled his face into her neck before lightly grazing his teeth against her skin. Avril shivered and let out a small moan as Trigger lightly bit her and brought one hand up and trailed it through her short hair. She slightly opened her eyes and raised herself to sit on top of his stomach and let the covers fall off completely as he stared at her.

"Enjoying the view, dumbass?" Avril playfully smiled at Trigger and leaned over him while slowly grinding backwards from his stomach towards his legs, much to his delight. She bit her lip as Trigger rubbed his hands on both her thighs as she moved back. She raised her arms behind her head to stretch which made her large but firm breasts raise and perk up even more.

"Since when did you have a body?" Trigger asked her, staring at her surprisingly toned arms, midriff and large chest as she brought one hand down to his stomach and reached the other behind her to make sure she had him between her ass, but not inside yet.

"Ever since I started consistently working on planes for a hobby all those years ago. It paid off, didn't it? Filled me in all the right places." She whispered the last part as she started moving her hips.

Trigger started moving his hips rhythmically with her, but before it could escalate any further, the world had realised due to time constraints and strategically placed bad timings in order to extend the story and make it seem more interesting than it really is, Count would knock on the door to the room loudly.

"Fuck." Was the only word that went through both their minds as both of them scrambled to get up. Trigger sat up in bed as Avril got off him and sat beside him, panicking.

"Trigger you still asleep?" Breakfast is almost over." Count's voice came muffled through the door.

"Uhh, yeah hold on, I'm getting up!" He said as he jumped off the bed and grabbed a pair of his underwear from the drawer and threw the bedsheet over Avril's naked body as he hastily put his underwear on while whispering urgently towards her, "Cover up! Quickly!"

Avril spared no time in wrapping the bedsheet around her muscled but thankfully smaller frame and hiding beside the bed on the ground.

"Trigger unlocked the door and opened it slightly to see Count's face.

"Trigger, where've you been? Everyone's almost done with breakfast." He asked, frowning.

"Just overslept that's all. Didn't go to sleep early remember?"

"OK, but where's Avril? She's usually an early bird but I couldn't find her anywhere, even in her hangar. I wanted to ask her about my plane."

"Uhh, I don't know, maybe keep looking? She'll turn up eventually." Trigger cautiously said.

"Alright, I guess, but hurry up will you? And bring her along if you find her too." Count said as he walked away.

Trigger closed the door and locked it and placed his back to it, slightly sliding down with a sigh of relief. Avril got up from the floor and scratched her head, the bedsheet still around her as she walked up to him.

"That was close." He said to her. "and he's right, we should head back down there, they're probably wondering where we are."

Avril however didn't say a word but instead brought her arms up to his and pinned him against the door quietly, letting the bedsheet fall off her.

"Now what's the hurry for, dumbass?"

One hour later

"There you are! What kept you?" Count said as Trigger sat down next to him.

"Getting ready." Trigger answered. "Didn't sleep till late so woke up late."

"Hey Count, Trigger." Avril said as she walked in a few minutes later.

"Well, at least you two made it."

Húxian eyed her with suspicion before getting up.

"Mead, walk with me, please."

"Uhh what for?"

"Restroom."

"What? This isn't high school!"

"Humor me for some time, will you please?"

"Fine."

Avril got up begrudgingly and followed her to the restrooms while Trigger and Count watched them leave with confusion on their faces.

Restroom

Avril watched Húxian wash her hands and towel them off without saying a word.

"So, why'd you ask me to come along with you?" Avril asked her with her hands on her hips.

"Wanted to talk about Trigger."

"Oh. What about him?" She asked nervously.

"Had a fun time last night, didn't you." Húxian said with a wicked grin.

"I don't know what you're getting at, Fox." Avril replied, feeling sweat form on her palms.

"Don't play dumb with me, Mead. You didn't think I'd notice that?" Húxian pointed towards her neck.

Avril reached a hand up to her neck and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, there was a small mark that looked suspiciously like a hickey.

"Oh you fuck-"

Húxian started laughing as Avril looked in disbelief at the mark on her neck.

"Oh, I bet he gave you more than just that, didn't he?" Húxian said in between laughs.

"Shut up, Fox..." She muttered. "And keep this to yourself please?"

"Don't worry, sister. Your secret that you're banging the Osean Bigshot Three Strikes himself is safe with me."

Avril shook her head at that but still gave her a grateful smile.

"Now come on, bet your boyfriend's waiting for you." Húxian giggled at her like a schoolgirl.

"Goddamnit shut up..."

Mess Hall

"They're taking their time aren't they?" No sooner had the sentence left Count's mouth when the women walked back in and sat down. Avril glanced at Trigger and gave him a brief smile which he returned, but Húxian had a smug grin on her face. Trigger didn't like that.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" Count asked.

"I got some work leftover in the hangar. Some of the new nuggets need their planes checked. And Count, you wanted to ask me something about your plane, right?" Avril asked as she drank her coffee.

"Yep, I wanted to talk to you abou- wait hold on, how'd you know I had to ask you something about my plane?" Count exclaimed.

Avril choked on her coffee as Trigger shifted uncomfortably in his seat before speaking up.

"Oh that's because I told her you wanted to ask her something."

Avril would've given him a new custom built part right then and there as a reward for that save as Húxian rubbed her back to ease her up, till the next words Count said shattered it.

"But she came into the mess hall way later than you and greeted you first thing."

Trigger and Avril awkwardly looked at each other while Húxian tried her best to suppress her laughter as Count looked at them.

"Guys?" He said as he shifted his eyes from one to two to three. "What're you-"

Then it hit him like a train he could've sworn he almost got whiplash from the information; Avril not in her room or hangar early in the morning, Trigger in his underwear and not opening the door fully, the strange stumbling sound he heard when he knocked, both of them arriving late and the question he had asked Trigger that Avril could not have possibly known since the two of them just "greeted" each other in front of them and she brought the topic up when she shouldn't have even known about it. His eyes widened.

"OH SHIT."
