Mind trap 7
Rating: PG for now
Disclaimer: All hail the Great Maker! JMS!
Pairing: I/M
Summary: When Marcus is captured instead of Garibaldi in "Z'ha'dum", what will happen?
Marcus: You've been blaming me… when you…?
Susan: I'm sorry.
Marcus: If it weren't for you, I'd be dead.
Susan: It wasn't conscious
Marcus: I don't mind. I love you anyway.
Susan: I know. That's what I'm afraid of.
Marcus: Then I'll have to work on that, won't I? And you know how annoyingly persistent I can be.
Susan: Don't I just! Are you sure about this? I'm not the easiest woman in world to be with.
Marcus: I'm willing to take the risk. If you are?
Lyta: Okay, at this point, I'm going to interrupt. I don't want to see any of this.
Susan: Any of what?
Lyta: The mushy stuff. I'm gonna go. Behave yourselves okay? ('Lyta' disappears)
Susan: MUSHY! We're behaving Mushy???
Marcus: Susan, she only said it to wind you up.
Susan: Yeah, well, it worked!
Marcus: You're beautiful when you're angry Susan.
Susan: Oh my God. We ARE Mushy!
Marcus: Everyone is entitled to be, once in a while.
Susan: Not me.
Marcus: And why should you be any different, Susan?
Susan: I'm unique.
Marcus: Of this I have no doubts.
Susan: Could we save this until later? Please?
Marcus: Nope. I like this. No distractions.
Susan: It's weird with you having control of my body, for a start.
Marcus: I don't have control, per se. But if it makes you more comfy, I won't do it again. Unless you're in trouble.
Susan: If I'm in trouble, I will get us out of it. Clear?
Marcus: Yes ma'am.
Susan: It's my body.
Marcus: I'll be a courteous guest. Will you be as possessive about your quarters?
Susan: Depends. Will you be this annoying?
Marcus: Probably. Maybe you can reform me?
Susan: Sound's like a long job. Don't know if I have the patience for it.
Marcus: I thought you liked a challenge?
Susan: I'll try. (He steps closer)
Marcus: That's all I ask. (She yawns) You're tired.
Susan: A bit.
Marcus: Why don't you move to the sleeping quarters? Get some sleep? We'll be there soon and we'll need all our strength.
Susan: But-
Marcus: You need the rest.
Susan: Mmm.
Marcus: And you're beautiful when you're asleep. (She blushes)
Susan: You don't have to keep doing that.
Marcus: (Grins) Doing what?
Susan: Complementing me.
Marcus: I've wanted to all year. Are you gonna deny me the pleasure now?
Susan: Pleasure?
Marcus: You get all embarrassed and shy. You look down for a second, and then when you look up this cute blush has appeared. Kind of like right now.
Susan: Cute?
Marcus: Yeah.
Susan: Do you know what happened to the last guy who called me that.
Marcus: You mean the time you cleared out that bar. Single handedly? Yeah. Just wanted to see your reaction when I say it. So….?
Susan: So… I like it. Occasionally. I should go. I am standing in a hallway, after all.
Marcus: OK. Should I stay here?
Susan: No, you can come. Just no fooling with the body.
Marcus: Susan, I would never-
Susan: I mean no moving me around, like when you followed Lyta.
Marcus: Oh. Yeah. Right. (He chuckles nervously)
Susan: Tut tut tut! For a unicorn you have a very dirty mind.
Marcus: And how many 30 plus virgins have you known, Susan?
Susan: You're the first.
Marcus: Good, then this is a novel experience for you too.
Susan: Yeah, we should really get back.
Marcus: I guess so. One last thing.
Susan: What's that?
Marcus: I'm curious
Susan: About?
Marcus: How you taste in your mind. (He kisses her & she melts against him) Mmm. Delicious. (Susan is stunned) Shall we go?
Susan: Hmm?
Marcus: Back to reality…?
Susan: Oh. Yeah. Right. (She snaps out of it & puts on her 'Commander' face. Marcus chuckles.)
