Cally and Helo fic

Chapter 2

A few weeks later and Cally is being released from life station, and Helo is sitting waiting with her for Doc Cottle to come and tell her she can go.

"God, whats taking so long" Cally moans sitting next to Helo on the bed.

Helo laughs and looks at Cally who is itching to get out of life station after being stuck there for 2 weeks.

"Calm down, he'll be here as soon as he is finished Cal" Helo said with an arm draped over Cally's shoulders. Cally looks up at one of her closest friends, in the last few weeks Cally and Helo had become really close, he had been helping her through everything that happened, and vice versa.

A lot of people had been wondering if those feelings had changed from just friendship to something a bit more romantic.

Although Cally and Helo care a lot about each other, neither has actually admitted how they feel.

"I just wanna get back to my own bunk Karl, and take a god damned shower" Cally said resting her head on Helo's shoulder.

Helo slipped his arm down so it was wrapped around Cally's waist; he was absentmindedly drawing patterns on the bit of skin that was showing where her tanks didn't meet her sweats.

"Right young lady, you can go, but I want you to take it easy for the next few weeks, no over doing it, your on light duty for 4 weeks while those ribs heal properly, okay?" Doc Cottle asked her.

"Got it doc, thanks" Cally said getting down from the bed with Helo's help.

"You're welcome, look after her LT" Cottle said to Helo, who nodded as he walked out next to Cally.

As they walked down an empty corridor towards Cally's new quarters, that the admiral had arranged for her, as the doc had said she would need peace and quiet for a few weeks while her head healed as well as her ribs, so Cally had a quarters to herself, well nearly, she wasn't to be left alone, to Helo had volunteered to stay with her as long as she needed him too.

They walked into their quarters, it was quite large, had a bedroom of to the side, a living room, and a bathroom and small kitchen.

Cally looked in the bathroom "yes, no sharing showers with 100 other people' Cally said looking at their own private shower.

"You should see the size of this bed" Helo called from the bedroom, Cally followed his voice and came in to see Helo sprawled out on a large double bed.

"Holy frak, I haven't seen a double bed since I left home 3 years ago" Cally said falling down next to Helo.

"I know what you mean" Helo said lying on his side looking over at Cally

Cally looked over at him, he had a small smile on his lips "what" she said

"Nothing" Helo said trying to get the smile off his face, but having no luck

"Karl Agathon you tell me what you're smiling about, or you don't get to sleep in this very large, very comfy bed" Cally giggled.

"You wouldn't" he said

"Oh yes I would, now spill Agathon" she said with mischief in her eyes.

He leaned across as though to whisper in her ear, but at the last minute he leant down and kissed her.

Cally laid there in shock, but with a smile on her lips, she looked over at Helo to see him grinning at her.

They locked eyes for a few minutes, then Helo leaned in again and this time they kissed each other, rather then just the quick kiss he had planted on Cally's lips.

They continued to explore each others mouths for the next 10 minutes, taking the time to memorize everything about the others mouth.

After they had both pulled away, they just laid there, Cally with her head tucked under Helo's chin, and her arm across his stomach, and Helo with one arm in Cally's hair gently stroking it and the other resting on her hip, playing with the skin there.

Cally yawned, it had been an exhausting day and she was really tired.

"Sleep, ill still be here when you wake baby" he said gently stroking her hair

"Mmm okay, night Karl" she said snuggling into his arms

"Night Cal, sweet dreams princess" he said kissing the top of her head.

And they both drifted of to sleep, wrapped in the others arms, content to just be.
