"We can't do any more searching tonight Virgil, it's too dark, not even the pod lights could find it."

"We're going to be in so much trouble, Brains will kill me when he finds out."

"You're the one who crashed it."

"I thought I could pilot it in the dark."

"Turns out you couldn't," Kayo grinned, "come on, it's getting cold, we'll shelter in the module and look for it tomorrow."

"It's not much warmer in there than it is out here."

"Virg, come on."

"Alright, alright," Virgil followed Kayo inside and the ramp closed behind them locking them inside Thunderbird 2.

"I have a way to make it warm in here."

Virgil smirked, "I'm sure you do, and I'll make it cosier."

Kayo watched him cross the module and grab a fleece from the supply compartment, "for after?"

"That's what I was thinking," he swung her into his arms and kissed her hard, she pushed him back against the wall without breaking the embrace and smiled under his lips as his fingers unzipped her suit down her chest and to her hips, she bit her bottom lip gently as her fingers unclipped his baldric, it fell to the floor with a thump.

"Where next?" Virgil asked brushing his lips against her cheek.

"Suit," she unzipped his suit down his front and his chest came into view, "not wearing a shirt this time?"

"I alternate," Virgil hoisted her up onto the med bed and she wrapped her ankles around his hips.

"How are you going to get out of this?"

Virgil smirked, "I guess I'll just have to let go of you," he pulled his boots off and removed the suit without hesitation, "well I'm done."

Kayo ran her fingers across his abs, "my my, someone has been working out lately."

Virgil grinned at her from her shorts to her sports bra, "as have you."

"You can fit two people on this bed right?"

"Well, we can try."

Kayo pulled him onto the bed on top of her and kissed him again, her hands ran down his body to his legs and she gasped as he did the same stopping to stroke her knees, "wait, wait."

"What's up?"

"You for a start," she smirked eyeing him from below up, "but have you turned the coms off?"

Virgil smirked and reached up to a button without needing to look, "I have now." Kayo laughed behind closed lips before kissing him again and remaining clothes quickly turned to bare skin, the module was feeling very hot now and Kayo looked up at Virgil poised above her.

"What is the fleece for then?"

"Sleeping," Virgil pulled out and stroked her cheek, "we can't tell anyone about this."

"Your brothers know about us," Kayo sat up and hopped off the bed to pick her shorts up off the floor of the module.

"They don't know about the stuff we get up to."

"They have a guess though, right?" Kayo looked round at him, "I mean it's pretty obvious."

Virgil pulled his shorts on, "I don't think they like to," he smirked, "makes them feel weird."

"Well too bad," she ran a hand through her hair, "I'm not giving you up."

"I don't want you to."

Kayo sighed, "as much as this is a module of pleasure now, can we move to the bedroom? The floor doesn't look too comfortable."

"It's only a single bed up there," Virgil mused.

"Even better," Kayo smiled then squeaked as he scooped her up into his arms pressing her against his chest, "are you just going to leave your clothes here?"

"Yep. We can clear up tomorrow morning."

Kayo smiled, "sounds good to me," she smiled as he eased his way up the steps with her, "I always forget how strong you are."

"You don't weigh anything sweetheart."

"Is that teasing or the truth?"

Virgil shrugged, "a bit of both," he put her down gently and opened the door to the bedroom, "I'm just going to check we're all locked up in the cockpit and I'll join you."

Kayo nodded, "don't take too long," she slipped into the room and turned the lights on, like most of the ship's interior, green shone back at her bordered by black lines, but the bed was pristine white and a vase decorated the small room holding shoots of lavender, his mother's favourite herb, she smiled and crawled onto the bed taking a deep breath of Virgil's scent he left in every room.

"Oh we're busted," Virgil walked into the room laughing.

"What, why?"

"John just called, and I answered like this," he looked down at his bare chest and shorts.

"Did you tell a lie?"

"No."

"Virg," she whined, "you could've said you were about to have a shower or something," she fell back onto the pillow hiding her face, the bed dipped closer to her before Virgil was beside her giving her puppy dog eyes, "knock it off!" She laughed and pushed him back playfully, "you know John is jealous of us, don't torture him."

"He had his chance and he didn't take it," Virgil stretched, "he wants to know if we found the drone, but we haven't. Scott is coming out tomorrow to help us."

"Scott!? Virgil, it takes him seconds, do not let me sleep in ok? The last thing I need is for him to see me half naked."

"You wear bikinis all the time by the pool?"

"This is different," she snuggled up beside him sighing happily, "was everything locked?"

"Oh yeah, anything tries to get in, they'll be in for a shock," he winked and Kayo groaned, "oh come on, that was funny."

"You're as bad as Gordon sometimes."

"Ouch, where did that come from?"

"Words are your enemy."

"Not all of the time, there have been moments when you've swooned because of my words," Virgil mused, "or when I sing to you."

"You don't have an instrument with you," Kayo yawned as she got further under the sheets, "if you pull out a piano, I'll eat the lavender."

"What about a keyboard?"

Kayo closed her eyes with a laugh, "how did I fall in love with someone like you, or just you to be exact?"

"Alright, I won't, let's get some sleep. Unless?"

"We made out in the module, I'm too tired now."

"Want a massage?"

Kayo opened one eye, "hmm, that doesn't sound like a bad idea."

Virgil turned on the heater as Kayo turned onto her stomach, "I wish we could have more missions like this," he said as he pressed his knuckles into her shoulder blades.

"Parking Thunderbird 2 somewhere in the wilderness and camping?" Kayo smirked towards the wall.

"No no, I mean us two in Thunderbird 2. You could always leave Shadow at home and come with me."

"I like my ship."

"Alright, just trying to be more of a boyfriend."

Kayo reached back for his hand, "and you're a wonderful boyfriend sweetheart."

Virgil smiled, "sleep time. I love you."

"I love you too," she yawned and pressed her cheek into the pillow feeling Virgil's lips kiss the back of her head, he turned the lights off and she fell asleep listening to the quiet hum of Thunderbird 2.

Dawn broke and Thunderbird 1 landed beside her sister, Scott leapt out and disarmed the behemoth, the module door opened and Scott walked up the ramp, clothes scattered the floor and he smirked. There was a shuffling of feet and he looked up as Virgil skidded through the door followed by Kayo who was wrapped in the fleece.

"Well well, had fun did we?" Scott asked, amused by their pink faces and he tutted at their uniforms on the floor.

Virgil hastily pulled his flight suit on, "you could've given us the heads up?"

"How could I? You turned the comms off."

Virgil closed his eyes with a sigh, "oh yes, so I did."

"Can you two both look away for a moment please? So I can get dressed," Kayo crossed her arms over the fleece and Virgil tugged Scott's arm, "thank you."

"We'll start the search," Virgil adjusted his baldric then followed Scott down the ramp of the module.

"You scored big last night then brother?" Scott asked, smirking when Virgil shoved him gently, "it's pretty obvious that you did."

"Searching led to sleeping."

"With a little love in between. I could've followed the trails of clothes to the bedroom."

"No you couldn't."

Kayo walked down the ramp fully clothed in her uniform and joined the boys, "you're here to help us find this drone, and nothing more."

"I wouldn't have thought the module was comfortable enough to make love in, but it looks like I stand corrected."

"Okay, that's enough," Kayo laughed and tackled him, he dodged her moves and Virgil got between them, "let me get him."

"We have a job to do."

Scott laughed, "that's that then."

"Scott, don't be childish," Virgil rolled his eyes, "the sooner we find that drone, the sooner we can go home."

Kayo walked past Scott and grinned, "if you really want know, it was great."
