Marcus' Reaction
Before I could get close enough to kiss him again I was surprised by a stiff punch to my ribs causing me to double over slightly in pain. The mess was now completely silent waiting in shock. I looked up at Marcus and nearly smirked as I recognized the fire in his eyes during battle. How I recognized anything I couldn't say but I was pleased with the strength of his reaction, although it was not what I had initially had in mind. There were obviously some strong feelings behind his actions if he would act in such a way in front of his crew. I waited patiently for him to gain control of himself.
"What the bloody hell did you think you were doing?" He all but snarled in my face as I straightened up.
"I did not think I was doing anything. I was in fact kissing you, quite well I'd assume considering you kissed me back." I answered smugly, some would say arrogantly. "Perhaps I was mistaken however. I am not well versed on human kissing."
"Bloody bastard. 'I am not well-versed on human kissing.' I'll show you kissing you son of a…" Marcus mumbled loud enough so that I could hear him, however intentional that was I am not sure. "I would thank you not to take such liberties with my person again, Neroon."
Marcus looked so morally outraged that I couldn't keep from chuckling uproariously. Who knew my love was such a prude. Well I would have to take care of that, I promised myself firmly.
"I believe I already told you of my intentions, so any liberties I took you agreed to by not discouraging me completely." I reminded him quietly, and quite seriously. "Perhaps you were unaware of the connotations of your actions before. So I will forgive you for the confusion."
"You'll forgive me?" He screamed at me in anger before stalking out of the room glaring at anyone who so much as glanced in his direction. My Marcus is indeed a ferocious opponent.
I followed him silently as he left the room. The crew, who came across him moved quickly out of his way as he passed, followed swiftly by me. I finally caught up to him near the bridge where a team leader who was giving Marcus a progress report on the cleanup in his designated area detained him. The Minbari watched in shock as I grabbed Marcus and physically swung him around so that he was facing me.
"I did not think you the type to run away from when things were not going as you had hoped." I quietly informed the snarling human in my grasp. He stopped trying to pull his arm away to glare at me angrily. "Why are you so angry at me?"
"It couldn't have anything to do with the fact you embarrassed me in front of my men by forcing your unwanted attentions on me?" Marcus sneered.
"I suppose, but there are two problems with that reason." I told Marcus, almost gently.
"They are?" He asked curiously.
"The first is that you embarrassed yourself by your actions in the mess hall, I had nothing to do with it. Secondly, if my attentions were so unwanted then why did you respond so passionately when I kissed you?"
Marcus looked at me in astonishment, opening and closing his mouth at irregular intervals trying to come up with a response. I used my index finger to close his gaping mouth before speaking again.
"Since that is the case, I will ask again why are you so angry at me?"
"You don't even know who the hell I am." Marcus answered after a long moment of silence.
"I remember-"
"Precisely nothing!" Marcus interrupted harshly. "Whatever memories you have are mine to begin with."
"That doesn't mean that I don't know what I am feeling right now." I answered him stubbornly, stepping into his personal space deliberately. "And you can not tell me that I am imagining your own feelings for me."
"You don't know what you bloody feel. You don't even remember who you are!" He screamed at me.
"I know exactly who I am." I told him, although I didn't know what event brought me to the present date.
"You don't know how you feel anymore than I do. Once you get your memories back you may very well decide you were out of your bloody mind." He told me. "So just leave it alone, alright?"
Before I could respond Marcus walked away, this time calmer then he was and entered the bridge, as I looked after him not knowing how to respond.
