Love Me Dead
by Antidaeophobia
AN: This chapter is just dribble and feel free to skip it if you want something more interesting. I just wanted to explore what Lore and Frea might do when they were bored and I couldn't help the chance to do some humor even though it's a bit out of character LOL. Having a slow writing day but the plot should move along soon. These past 7 chapters are just the beginning now that I've got the full plot figured out. I do worry people might not like the dark turn coming soon.
Little Wing- Jimi Hendrix
Chapter Eight "Little Wing"
"Three days. I'm going crazy here. Three days of waiting! I want to travel. I need to get out of this ship." Frea groan softly from her position, laid across the couch, a tablet lying against her chest. Lore smiled at her, stroking her legs from there position across his thighs. He's large pale hands rubbing along her ankles softly.
"I swear to god Lore, I can't play another game of chess. I can't read another book."
"We could sing again?" Lore offered and Frea sighed in exacerbation causing him to chuckle.
"They'll leave soon. They haven't found us and I'm sure they leave soon. Besides-Your company has made these three days bearable for me." Shifting is position to lean across her, cradling her head in his hands before dipping down and kissing her, tracing a hand up the inside of her leg to stroke her inner thigh exposed by her shorts. She became wet with anticipation at his hand even lingering near where but three days ago he'd pleasured her with his fingers so expertly. Her body practically cried out when he removed his hand and placed them under her back to cradle her close.
"I can think of something enjoyable we could have been doing these past three days that would have kept us occupied." Frea teased and he chuckled.
"I'm not a piece of meat." Lore protested humorously
"What are you a prude" Frea laughed and pinched his taught bottom
"Why can't you just love me for my personality?" Lore pretended to be devastated.
"Shut up and take your pants off."
This caused Lore to crack up "Oh, you're such a sweet talker." He laughed hard as he rolled off his position on top of her and stood and she immediately missed him. He ran a hand through his hair, leaving his hand to rest on the back of his neck, he smiled humorously at her. Frea chuckled as he grabbed her hand and pulled her up off the couch and towards the control room to help him check their status.
Frea grumbled "I'm going mad here. We can't go anywhere and you won't take your pants off."
Lore chuckled as he took a seat in the captain's chair and she flopped into hers. The beep of the console and a quick gaze outwards found them still stuck in the same position they'd spent the past 72hrs.
Frea sighed and chewed on her lip. "Do you suppose they know we around somewhere and they are trying to wait us out?"
"I highly doubt it. They wouldn't waste this much time waiting if they knew we were in the area. I'm not even sensing they're scans anymore. I guess they're waiting for orders." Lore raised a brow in boredom, he turned his chair lazily.
"It's hard for me to decide if they're devoted, or just stupid."
Meeting each others gaze they both gave an amused, wicked grin and as they both started to chuckle.
"We both know the answer to that now don't we love."
"No, you're doing it wrong." Frea chewed the candy around her mouth before blowing a large pink bubble.
Lore gave a look of child like wonder as the bubble grew. "How do you do that? That's incredible." He was serious as he smiled gleefully as she brought the bubble back into her mouth and bit down on it giving a loud snap causing him to give a snorting laugh.
"Now you try again and this time try no to spit it at me." Frea watched him as he chewed his gum with all seriousness. Pressing his mouth as she showed him, he blew- however it yet again promptly shot out of his mouth. Frea quickly brought a bucket up she'd had nearby and caught the wad before it fell into her lap. It landed with a thud on a pile of other multi colored pieces from previous attempts. Who knew teaching an android to blow a gum bubble was so difficult.
"Better, you blowing too hard though and you're not hooking the gum on your teeth."
"This is quite a complex set of commands you're asking me to perform." Lore replied crestfallen, popping another piece of gum into his mouth and chewing.
"If you can't manage it, we can stop if you want" Frea raised a brow in challenge and he grinned.
"No, I've always wanted to learn this- That and how to blow a soap bubble. Teach me that too and I'll teach you how to fold an origami crane out of a wrapper using only your tongue."
Frea stilled and look at him shocked, waiting to see if he was joking. Lore smirked smugly, pulling the piece of gum out of his mouth and tossing it in the bucket with his other failed attempts. Taking a gum wrapper from the pile nearby and sticking it into his mouth; he worked it around quickly for several seconds before opening his mouth and gently taking out the tiny origami crane setting on his tongue.
Frea breathed out in surprise and took the tiny work of art with more awe, than arousal at what his tongue had just done. "My god- that's one good program." She breathed, looking over the tiny folded bird.
Frea raised a brow at him in humor "But you're incapable of blowing a bubble."
"Origami has a strict set of instructions, however, there are too many variables involved in blowing a bubble. You humans make it look so easy."
"A compliment for the human species, there may be hope for you yet, Lore" Frea winked and Lore's mouth scrunched in disapproval before giving an annoyed smirk
"I certainly hope not."
"Ok, my turn." Sitting on the rolling loader Lore was holding steady, a metal bowl from the kitchen upside down on her head serving as a helmet, pulling her legs up against her chest and holding onto board.
"Ok" He checked and she nodded before he have her a gentle pushed and sent her swiftly rolling down the long hallway from the living room, past the kitchen and towards the bedrooms before knocking over several large, empty containers they've placed at the end.
"Yes! Strike" Frea shouted in excitement.
"Perfect as always" Lore cheered.
"You're a lot heavier to push than I am." Frea laughed, standing up and setting containers back up before quickly grabbing the roller board and running back across the ship and towards the starting position.
Lore sat down on the rolling loader, an excited grin on his face despite him being so much larger and heavier than her. Frea got behind him.
"Put more weight on your left this time, it will improve your trajectory." Lore piped seriously before giving a childlike smile.
Placing her hands on his back and giving him a running shove for a couple feet before letting go and sending him rolling down the hallway. It wasn't as fast as his push had been, but he enjoyed every moment and he chuckled as he collided with the substitute pins at the end.
"Whooo!" Frea hollered excitedly and Lore laughed loudly.
"Oh, pretty" Frea grinned and wiggled her toes now tipped with pink nails.
"Ok, now the other one"
"Alright." Frea smiled and placed her second foot on his lap as he held the nail polish in one hand.
"You were right; the pink was a good choice."
"My mother liked pink. I use to do this for her when father wasn't home or I'd brush her hair for her, sometimes put her makeup on. I-" Lore smiled but then stilled seriously and looked at her. "I'm a pretty little girl aren't I?" He blinked in amusement and Frea smiled and nodded
"Yes you are. But you're my pretty little girl."
Lore looked thoughtful for a moment then smiled "Let's pluck your eyebrows next"
"Alright!" Frea grinned, getting up and running to go get her beauty supplies.
Lying against him cradled in his strong arms. His long pale fingers laced in her own. The only lights dimmed for night as they lay in bed. Frea seemed getting ready to sleep given her drowsy expression.
"The waters are so clear that you can see perfectly to the bottom of the lake. The rocks are so many different colors- like glass. There's a special type of flower there that grows there and blooms once a year at night. When the full moons rise and hit the water and the flower open at once, it's quite spectacular. The people there believe the lake to be sacred as well as the mountains nearby. It's the most beautiful place I've ever been." Listening to him while she went to sleep was a nightly ritual. Sometimes he'd talked about places he'd travelled, stories he'd been told by his father, every once in rare while, he'd even tell her stories about when he and Data had been young together back at the colony.
"I'd love to go, it sounds incredible." Frea sighed, "…and I'll teach you how to blow a soap bubble in return." Lore chuckled gently at this.
"I'll take you there someday for the flower blooms. It's quite difficult to get there though. It's on the border of Cardassian space and the Federation has protected it and made it illegal to visit during the sacred season. Not that that matters to me" Lore chuckled and he saw her smile out the corner of his eye.
Stroking her arm softly, Frea turned her gaze up at him softly. Lore loved when she looked at him like that. The look that made him feel like the most important person in the universe- which was something he'd never felt before unless aided by his own delusions of grandeur. She'd quickly the most important person in the universe to him- he was a passionate creature.
Lore suspected his father had made him this way on purpose. Impassioned so easily whether it be for good, or evil. He had always been drawn into his feelings so easily- especially when he had been young.
Lore had been chastised his fair share of occasions for getting into fights when he'd been tormented by the jealous colonist or being caught in a compromising position with one of the colonist daughters.
Lore's love and lust he'd found was as powerful over him as his rage and hatred. He desperately wished Frea would say those three words to him as he said so readily too her.
"I love when you look at me like that." Frea smiled softly and Lore realized he'd still been staring into her eyes.
"How do I look at you?"
"With so much love"
"Because I do- I love you deeply. For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." He quoted and she blushed furiously and covered her face in embarrassment.
Lore grinned as she blushed red at his words and bit her lip. He grinned, thanking his father for once for having made him so eloquent and getting the chance to use it for once besides talking his way out of trouble.
"No ones quoted you poetry?" Lore smiled and her eyes drew to his as well and stared into the golden depths. The look he gave was the same look as before; the look of pure adoration that excited her and his words awakened that dark part of her that revealed secretly in the knowledge that he really would do anything for her.
"No one but you has." Frea chuckled nervously, her cheeks red.
"How does Love speak?In the faint flush upon the telltale cheek…" Lore teased and leaned over her.
Placing a hand gently along the side of his face, he leaned into it, eyes closed, he sighed in bliss. Frea couldn't help but smile at his reactions to her touch. Her love for him overwhelmed her and he seemed happy to accept and almost starved for love.
"Lore, I-"
A sudden beeping sound from the control room interrupted her and Lore's gold eyes shot open. He gave her one last hesitant look before pulling away from her and Frea sighed angrily to herself as she reluctantly got up, slowly following him.
Frea was going to say it- and she was going to mean it. It seemed luck had different plans for her at the moment and now she mentally berated herself. She loved him deeply, but she still couldn't bring herself to admit it aloud, if only for the fear she might curse herself by saying it out loud and he would leave her.
Coming into the control room, she found him standing, hunched over the controls and scanning the information quickly, far faster than her human eyes. A big grin appeared on his face and he shot a look at her excitedly.
"What?" Frea's brows creased in concern, moving to take a seat in her chair. Lore grabbed her by the shoulders before she could move and he smirked.
"They left. The sensors were set to alert to their movement and that alert was to inform us that they have just left the system. It appears our patience has won out."
"Really?" Frea smiled before jumping up and he grabbed her up in his arms and laughed as he hugged her.
"Let's get the hell out of here." He grinned happily.
AN: I hope to not be too mushy, I don't have alot of experience writing love. I've had to do some romance writing research for this fanfic, reviews are appreciated.
