Halo ch8
A/N: Lucy is not the one from Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. So enjoy the story.
Daniel wakes up and wraps his arms around Kacey. "We need to get up and be ready for anything." Kacey says.
"I left Brigham in charge of the barracks today, so we shouldn't have to worry." Daniel says nuzzling against her neck. Kacey laughs at the prospect of peace and quiet together. He sees Brigham and says "Brigham you get to choose Byron's replacement." Brigham nods and leaves for his office.
"What do you want to do?" she asks.
"I was thinking we could go to a movie or just hang out and watch TV," Daniel says. They decide to rent a movie and watch it on the couch. "What movie did you pick out?"
"I got the movie Star wars: A New Hope."
"Nice choice." Daniel says. They watch the movie in relative peace for about two and a half hours. They get up to go get some dinner, but as they get up they get a call that tells them they deploy in five days. "What is with us getting deployed every time we go to a movie or dinner?"
"Well, after deployment we can go see a movie or we can stay in bed."
"I like those options." Daniel says kissing her lightly. Brigham comes back to the barracks and gives them good news.
"I found our new team member. Her name is Lucy." Brigham says.
"When do we meet her? Oh, by the way we deploy in five days." Daniel says.
"We meet her in three days and were you two going to a movie." He replies. They laugh at what Brigham said and start packing. Two days goes by and Daniel and Kacey finish packing first.
On Wednesday, the new Spartan shows up all ready to go. "Hi, I'm Lucy." She said.
"I'm Daniel. This is Brigham and Kacey. Just so we know, what is your specialty?" Daniel asks.
"My specialty is stealth and melee." she replied.
"Good. Brigham, that means she is your partner." Daniel says. Brigham blushes when Daniel told him that. When Lucy and Kacey go to the gym Daniel asks Brigham, "You like her don't you?"
"Shut up!" Brigham says.
Daniel laughs and says, "I won't tell her, okay." Brigham nods quietly and leaves for his office. Daniel heads to the gym to run. When he arrives, he sees Kacey on the treadmill. He knows when to grab her and sees Lucy out of the corner of his eyes. He turns toward her and shushes her quietly. Daniel grabs Kacey quickly, but gets punched in the ribs. "You didn't have to hit that hard."
"I'm sorry." She said kissing him lightly. Kacey looks to Lucy and says, "Oh by the way, Daniel and I are dating." Lucy laughs and leaves.
"I think she took that well." He says. Daniel spars with Kacey for an hour and they head back to the barracks. When they arrive at the barracks, Daniel notices that there is an awkward silence between Brigham and Lucy. "I'm going to bed." Daniel says.
"I think something went on between them." Kacey said following him out.
"I forgot to mention that Brigham likes her." he says when they reach his room.
Kacey laughs and says, "Well that's good, she likes him too."
"I figured that." Daniel replies.
