AU: Sasha and Aleksis didn't die (Because I say so).
Chapter 4
Mako pushed hard against Raleigh's chest, forcing him back till his lips finally broke from hers. He had her pressed to the wall of an abandoned corridor.
"You need to relax," he panted, "No one cares."
"I care."
"Fair enough, but live a little. It's kind of fun when you might get caught, no?"
"No," she said, even though the corner of her mouth was turned upward.
His hands caressed her ass, and she brushed them off.
"Later, I promise."
"I don't wanna wait," he whined.
"You're like a spoiled child."
"You spoiled me."
"You're right. I should be tougher on you." She rested a fingernail on his chin.
"I need discipline. You're just the woman for the job."
"I wish I could say you were joking, but I know you're not."
He ducked his head and sucked her fingertip, maintaining eye contact as he did. She smiled.
"I actually know somewhere quiet," she admitted.
He raised an eyebrow and released her finger.
"Oh, really?"
"It's not too far."
"Naughty girl. From past experience, I'm guessing?"
"Come on…"
Mako took his hand and led him down the hallway. She stopped at what looked like the door to a utility closet and knocked before opening it. The room was tiny and had a large electric box attached to the back wall. There was a single light on the ceiling, which Mako pulled a string to turn on. They squeezed in and shut the door.
"This is cozy," Raleigh said.
She jumped onto him, wrapping her legs around his waist. He groaned as he pushed her into the wall and kissed her. His hands supported her as he began to grind against her. Mako let go of his shoulders to fumble with the buttons of her shirt.
Suddenly, the door opened, and the Kaidonovskys appeared, chatting with each other.
Sasha and Mako locked eyes, and the door was closing the next second with a high-pitched, "Sorry!"
Raleigh was still as a corpse.
"Was that –?" he asked, voice terse.
"The Kaidonovskys."
"Well, fuck!...You still in the mood?"
"Not really."
He cursed again and set her down.
"Jesus, can't they knock?!"
"Let's go."

The next day, in the mess hall, Mako and Raleigh were on their way to their table when they saw Sasha and Aleksis approaching. The younger pilots steeled themselves and kept walking casually.
"Hey," Sasha said as they drew up with one another, "Sorry about the other day."
"Don't worry about it," Raleigh said quickly.
"No, really. Although…" She glanced around before flashing them a mischievous smile, "…We don't mind sharing, you know."
The color blanched from their faces, and the Kaidonovskys burst into laughter. Aleksis slapped Raleigh on the shoulder, and he staggered backward.
They walked away, still guffawing. Mako and Raleigh exchanged a mortified look.
"If this is their sense of humor," he whispered harshly, "I hope they don't make it a running joke."
