It was very late night on the base and only the bare minimum of people were on duty, most of the others were in their quarters unpacking their belongings or sleeping. Garshaw was still unpacking her things, as a Council member she had needed to be available throughout the day to various people as they swiftly moved planets again to one that Cordesh had had no knowledge of. She had been so busy that she hadn't even had the chance to talk to Selmak or meet his new host.

Yosuuf was already asleep deep in their blended mind but Garshaw was still wide awake since she needed far less sleep than her host and at times she really envied Yosuuf for that.

She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't sense the approach of another symbiote until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around to see Selmak stood behind her. "My angle." He whispered to her before he kissed her.

The second his lips touched hers time stopped and it was just as it had been decades before, though it was now different lips pressed against hers there was also a familiarity about them. One of his hands moved to the back of her neck and he caressed her underneath her host's skin, Garshaw moaned softly and returned the gesture. For the longest time they stayed like that and to them there was no war, there was nothing but them, two lovers reunited after too long apart.

Eventually they broke apart and he rested his forehead against hers, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Selmak whispered to her.

"Yes I do." She replied and kissed him again.

When they parted for the second time Selmak cupped Garshaw's check softly, "We must be patient Angle, my host lost his mate over twenty years ago and he never truly got over it. He'll need time to adjust to this. We've waited over seventy years, what's a few more months?" He asked with a smile.

Garshaw kissed his palm, "I will be patient, beloved." He pulled her in for a proper kiss and Garshaw thought her world was going to end and provided Selmak was there afterwards she really didn't care if it did. She caressed the back of his neck and he returned the favour.

Finally after what seemed an eternity they parted. "I think." Selmak gasped, "That I'd better go before we do something I'll have a hard time explaining to Jacob in the morning." Garshaw knew that Selmak was right, she'd have a hard time explaining it to Yosuuf for entirely different reasons, namely why she hadn't woken Yosuuf to share in the fun.

"See you in the morning for breakfast?" Garshaw asked

"Have I missed a breakfast with you in the last five centuries?"

"Only when one of us has been on a mission."

"See you in the morning then." Selmak said as he left.

Damn, thought Garshaw, she was defiantly not getting much sleep tonight, not with the memories of the last half hour, and the promise of what could come in the future, flying around the inside of her head.
