Lt. Razak walked over to us.
"Sir." I said, saluting him. Higgins did the same.
"I have been hearing you two are an item?" Lt. Razak said.
"No. Its a lie. We are only friends." Higgins said.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing. As soldiers, we have no time for relationships. Just for fighting and training. So if you do have one, you best stop it immediatly." He said sternly. Then he walked away.
"This bites monkies." I said. Higgins giggled. I still heard laughing. I stomped over to the other end of the table. Higgins followed.
"Hey, dont do anything that could get us suspended from fighting!..." He whispered. I curled my hands into a fist.
"What is so funny?" I asked sternly.
"You got told!" Rico said.
"Now you have to break up." Dizzy said.
"We arent going out. Even ask Carl." I said. They all looked at him.
"Yah, well, I can read minds. They arent." He said.
"Oh. Well, Carl never lies. Okay. Sorry." Dizzy mumbled.
"Yah, sorry." Rico, Gossard, and Doc mumbled.
"Its fine. Everyone makes mistakes." I said, walking away.

Later that day I was hanging out with him, and we were sitting on his couch. He was going through his papers for his job, and I was playing a game on my gameboy. I got bored, so I dropped it on the floor.
"Need help with anything?" I asked.
"Um, yah, could you rewrite these report titles, and put checks next to the ones that are done?" He asked.
"Sure!" I said, grabbing a pile of papers. About 10 minutes passed. "Um, whats this word?" I asked. He put his hand on my shoulder and looked over.
"Oh, sorry I write so sloppy. It says Pluto mission #1." He said, smiling.
"Hey, I write sloppy too!" I exlaimed. I noticed he kept his arm around me when he went back to writing. So I decided to scoot over closer to him so he wouldnt have to strain so many arm muscles. (hehe)
"Watch the arms!" Bruto said, walking in. Higgins slid it back to his side, blushing.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I wanted to know where you were, so I assumed you'd be here. And I want you two 5 centimeters apart!" He said. So we both scooted to opposite ends of the couch. "Much better. Now you two behave, cause I am gunna be just outside in the hall." He said, leaving.
"Geez, he is way too overprotective." I mumbled. Then Dizzy walked in.
"Hey Lt says get to bed early tonight, we have an early mission tomarrow. Hey...why is Kam here?" She asked.
"Im helping him with his journalist notes." I said.
"Sure, I bet really you guys were making out!" She said in a singsong voice. Then she giggled, and left.
"Why does everyone think immediatly that we are going out if we hang out?" I asked, tears building up again.
"They are just like that...and why is it so bad that they think we are dating and doing other stuff?" He asked.
"Because, its wrong." I said.
"Oh, I get it now. Its wrong for you to like me?" He asked.
"No, I didnt say that. And who said I didnt like you?" I asked. Then I realized what I just said and clamped my hand over my mouth.
"You like me?" He asked.
"Well...yah." I mumbled.
"I like you." He said. Then he reached over and wiped the few tears that were rolling down my cheek. "Dont cry." He said.
"But, they think something, even though we have told them its not true." I said.
"I know. But no matter what we do they will think the same thing. And your better than them. They dont deserve your tears." He said. I turned to look at him. He still had his hand on my face from wiping the tears.
"You do realize, that we are closer that 5 centimeters." I mumbled.
"So. Let your brother kill us. I dont care. I just...want to do this..." He mumbled. Then he leaned in and kissed me. So I did the natural thing. I kissed back. Then we heard footsteps coming closer, so we quickly separated and acted like we were doing paperwork the whole time. Rico and Carl walked in a second later.
"Hey, Diz said we would find you two together." Rico said, grinning.
"Shut up." I said.
"Well, its time to eat, so get in the lunch room before it gets cold." Rico said.
"Okay." Higgins said.
"Hey, wait a minute, were you guys making out?" Rico asked, laughing. We both blushed.
"Why do you ask?" I asked.
"Kam, I was jokin, I know you guys arent together!" Rico said, laughing. Carl just kinda stared at us. I can sense it! They were kissing! So maybe they are a couple! He thought.
"Wel, cya." Rico said, leaving. We shortly left afterwards.
"Sir." I said, saluting him. Higgins did the same.
"I have been hearing you two are an item?" Lt. Razak said.
