Apollo
The three pilots, along with several SGC personnel, stepped through the gate. On the other side, Lee was very relieved to see his father, along with the President and Vice President. Starbuck, Apollo, and Helo quickly saluted. Adama stepped closer, and enveloped Lee in a hug.
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you," Lee whispered, "Kara and I are... together." Lee held his breath in anticipation of what his father would say.
"Its about time," whispered Adama. When they finally pulled out of the hug, Adama surprised Kara by pulling her into a hug, too. She stiffened slightly, but eventually leaned into the hug. Now that looks right.
Eventually, introductions were made and the plans for a new life were formed.
"Lee!" screamed a rather shrill voice. Obedient as always, Apollo turned his head towards the voice.
"Leah," was all Lee could get out as she was hugging him rather hard.
"I'm so happy you're back! These people have been so nasty to me." I have to get rid of her. Preferably, without much of a scene.
"Leah," repeated Lee when he was able to speak, " We need to talk. How 'bout that closet over there."
"Haha! Little horny there." Despite Leah's words, she grabbed his hand and dragged him into the closet. As soon as the hatch was locked, Leah threw herself at him. This is not how I wanted this to go. Just when she grabbed his crotch, Lee had enough.
"No, we actually need to talk." Leah looked hurt.
"You're dumping me, aren't you."
"No, Leah, don't take it like that. We just aren't meant to be together."
"Who is it?" Her eyes narrowed and a completely evil look came over her face. Just play dumb, Lee.
"Who are you talking about?"
"The other woman."
"What other woman?" Leah just looked at him in disgust and left. Finally, after several minutes, Lee left the room.
"Looks like you had a good time," said Kara. She was leaning on the wall right outside the hatch. "I can't believe I trusted you." She threw one last look at him before turning her back and running away. Lee sat with his back against the wall and his head in his hands.
"What's going on?" asked a familiar voice.
"Jack! Little lost?"
"Just a little. But it looks like you need me more than your father right now, so why don't you tell me what's going on."
"Kara just caught me breaking up with my girlfriend."
"And this is a bad thing?"
"We did it in a closet, so she thinks we were frakking."
"That is a problem."
"Yup."
"I suggest you hunt her down and talk to her. It's all one big misunderstanding, and I'm sure she'll forgive you if you tell her the truth. After all, that girl loves you." I hope.
Starbuck
Where is he? I need him. Just then, the brainless wonder exited a storage closet. What was she doing in there? Did she find some other loser? Kara decided to wait and see who she could get some interesting blackmail on.
The door opened and the breath stopped in her throat. Of course, he just wanted me when he had no other choices. The annoying, sensible part of her brain that she had dubbed Lee said, then why did he say he loved you. He frakking asked you to marry him!
Kara said something, she couldn't even remember what it was three seconds later. RUN! Kara set off at a strong run down the corridors. The bastard didn't even come after me! Before she knew it, Kara was on the other side of the ship collapsing into Lee's bunk. She knew she couldn't sleep in her own, and since sleeping with Lee was not an option, Kara took his. It's not like he'll be using it anytime soon.
Kara woke up to someone sitting on her. Naturally, her reaction to this was to punch whoever the unfortunate was.
"FRAK!" The voice was strong and familiar.
"Lee! I was just having some trouble sleeping. I'm sure you're tired, though. I'll leave." Kara reluctantly got out of the warm bunk.
"No, Kara, please don't leave." It was his tone that made her stop and listen. Kara had never heard Lee so naked. "I need to talk to you."
"I don't want to hear about it. Why don't you tell Leah," Kara practically spit out the name, "she'll hear."
"I don't want someone to hear. I want someone smart enough to listen."
"She can't be that stupid. Anyone can listen."
"But she won't understand. She can't understand. You're the only one that understands. I just...need you to listen."
Kara cocked an eyebrow at him. "I'm listening."
"I was just breaking up with her. Because I love you. And eventually we will get married." Each sentence was more broken than the last. He was leaving her. He wants ME.
"Oh. You know, we've found Earth."
"Yeah, I noticed." Lee's mouth quirked at the sudden change in conversation. Only Kara could forgive in one word.
"Well, there won't be that much use for a Viper pilot after a while." The quirk was definitely growing. "Just reminding you about your promise. Something better than an infirmary." Lee smiled as Kara tucked herself into his shoulder. This is where I belong. Right here, with Lee.
