Hidden Depths
"I cannot wait to get home," Minako sighed, leaning against the windowsill.
Billie, her fellow actress nodded. "I know what you mean. This has been completely ridiculous."
It had been one of the worst production experiences that Mina had ever had. She was absolutely exhausted and discouraged at the moment, and all she really wanted was for toady to be over with. If it weren't for the fact that the plot of the miniseries was absolutely wonderful and the other actors involved were great. The BBC production was going to be wonderful if they survived filming it. Unfortunately, the director was bat-shit crazy and currently involved in some sort of vendetta with the crew. It did not make for the best work situation.
Still there were some advantages to being on location here in Britain. One of them being that she wasn't currently conducting a long distance relationship. No, she got to go home to Kenzie's flat on a regular basis these days.
"Kenzie's got the night off, and a quiet evening in together sounds divine."
This time the other woman shook her head. "I've been meaning to ask. Just what do you see in him? He's rather a cold fish isn't he? The two of you seem like complete opposites."
Minako laughed. It didn't surprise her that her coworkers would think that. It was the image that Kenzie project. Both as General Kunzite and as Detective Sergeant Kenzie McLeod. It was part of his job and duty as well as his personality. He'd always been a rather stoic and private man. But beneath that icy exterior was a rather cuddly person, even if she was one of the few people to see that. She knew that he would always been there for her. And while he might not be good about expressing his feelings in words, it was in the little things he did for her that those emotions shone through.
Everything from making sure that she ate real food on a regular basis to listening to her rant about work. Kisses and hot cups of tea And he gave very good hugs when she needed them. But the warm, cuddly Kenzie was something that Mina was one of the very few people to see. He kept that side of him reserved for his closest friends. So Minako just smiled at her coworker.
"What can I say? He's got hidden depths."
One of their older coworkers joined them. Sharon smiled at the pair.
"Hiding from our director? He's off on one of his rants again. We probably won't get anything else done today."
Mina groaned. "Great."
Sharon smirked. "Cheer up. I saw your boyfriend chatting with Nathaniel down by the gate. It sounds like he's planning on kidnapping you since no work is getting done."
A smile lit her face. Maybe today could be redeemed after all.
