Couples- A Dinosaur Train Fanfic
Chapter 8-After Hours
Summary: Station Master Troodon at Pteranodon Terrace gets a female visitor.
The sun was just about to disappear below the horizon as the Station Master troodon was behind his window and organizing the stacks of tickets and other papers. He did all this while he was humming to himself. He was so busy that he didn't notice that a female troodon was walking up to his window. She was orange like him, but like a female troodon she had more feathers on her head, and the feathers were all pointing up like a hairdo, just like Mrs. Conductor's. The female troodon smiled as she stopped before the ticket window and knocked on the windowsill.
"I'm sorry, but the station is closed and the train won't be running to-Oh goodness, Tracy!" Station Master cried when he had looked up and saw his girlfriend Tracy.
Tracy smiled and laughed. "Hello baby."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were a dinosaur looking to ride the train."
Tracy laughed again. "Oh, it's perfectly alright."
Station Master saw that Tracy was carrying a picnic basket with a cloth over its contents. Tracy saw him looking and held up the basket.
"A little picnic dinner for the two of us. There's some carrion on a stick, some leaf loaf, fishwiches, and for dessert some little cakes. Would you mind if I come into the station and join you?"
Station Master put a grin on his face. "Why sure. I would love some company, especially yours Tracy."
Tracy chuckled. "Thank you, baby."
Tracy walked to the other side of the building and the Station Master opened the door so she could enter. He closed the door and Tracy set her basket down on a counter. Station Master pulled down all the blinds of the windows so he and Tracy could have some privacy. After all the blinds were down, Station Master and Tracy looked at each other.
The setting sun still casted some light into the now mostly dark room through the blinds. The room was still mostly dark, but both troodons could see each other with their nocturnal vision. Tracy smiled and she quickly came toward the Station Master. He was surprised by this and in an instant found himself lying on his back on the floor, with Tracy's lips having made contact with his.
The fall didn't hurt the back of his head or back much, and he smiled. The kiss he was receiving from Tracy felt very pleasant. Tracy lifted her head up, smiled some more at the Station Master, and kissed him again. "So how was my baby's day?"
Station Master rolled his eyes and smiled at Tracy. He kissed her on the lips. "Oh fine, just the usual stuff. Handing out tickets, restocking tickets, organizing them; this and that." He kissed Tracy's lips again.
"Sounds like you had an okay day." Tracy said in the dark.
Station Master shrugged. "Yeah, pretty much."
"And I bet you stood up all day, huh?"
"Yeah." Station Master responded.
Tracy made a soft and small sad moan. "Aw, poor baby."
She smiled. "You know what? How about you just lay here and I'll give you one of my famous foot rubs?"
The Station Master lifted up his head. "But what about that lovely picnic dinner you've prepared for the both of us? We can't make it wait after all the time you've-" He was silenced by a kiss from Tracy.
"Dinner…can wait." She said softly.
Station Master smiled and he planted a loving kiss on Tracy's cheek. "Very well then."
Tracy smiled as she sat up and sat near his feet. Station Master could feel his right foot being lifted up by Tracy's hands. Then he could feel her hands moving slowly up and down his foot. Station Master let out a soft and pleasant sigh. Tracy was the best foot massager he had ever encountered in his life, and the only one.
So the Station Master lay there on the wooden floor of the room while Tracy massaged both his feet. Alternating between the right and left foots and rubbing between the toes. And the Station Master sighed pleasantly all the while. Tracy smiled, glad to see that her boyfriend was looking both very happy and relaxed. The massage lasted for half an hour.
Tracy stopped and Station Master could feel the foot she had been rubbing set back down on the floor. He heard her moving and could feel her resting her head down on his chest.
Silence.
"You had a busy day too?" Station Master asked.
"Yeah. Been exploring places with the train. Gathered and prepared the food for our dinner together." Tracy said nodding.
Silence.
"You just relax, and it's okay if you want to rest your head here."
Station Master felt a kiss planted on his right cheek.
"Thanks, baby."
Tracy closed her eyes and listened to the sound of Station Master's heart beating. It was such a pleasant sound for her to hear.
Station Master smiled. He had met Tracy at this very station a few months ago. She was expecting to just get a ticket. He was expecting to just give her one. Little did they know that that one little conversation about how lovely the day was would have led them to seeing each other more often, bringing more conversations including plans for a first date. And now three months and dozens of dates later they were now both boyfriend and girlfriend. And the Station Master troodon thought that Tracy was one sweet gal.
Station Master kissed Tracy on the cheek a few times, stroked her back with his right hand, and nuzzled her face with his. Tracy smiled and loved the affectionate things he was doing. Especially rubbing his foot up and down hers.
But the affectionate nuzzling soon stopped. For both troodons had fallen asleep.
The sun was down and it was completely dark outside when Station Master woke up. He saw Tracy with her face still resting on his chest and he gently shook her shoulder.
"Tracy, Tracy." He whispered loudly.
"Huh?" Tracy slowly opened her eyes.
Station Master smiled, thinking that Tracy looked very cute when she was just waking up. He kissed her cheek softly. "Wake up, dear. We fell asleep."
"Oh," Tracy closed her eyes and yawned. "So shall we have dinner now?"
"Certainly, just let me find some candles." Tracy had lifted her head up off Station Master's chest and he had gotten up to find the candles.
"Why, we can see perfectly fine in the dark?"
Station Master was crawling on his hands and knees as he was making his way over to what was under the counter. He looked back at his lover and smiled. "Because dinner by candle light is always romantic, isn't it?"
Tracy understood and nodded. "Oh, why I believe that you are right, baby."
Station Master smiled and rummaged through the cabinet under the counter.
"Bingo." He said pulling out a few candlesticks and some matches. He lit the candles and placed them around the cloth with food spread out over it by Tracy. The two troodons were surrounded by the light and sat opposite each other. They commenced to eating and stopping at certain intervals to talk more about their day and the species of dinosaurs that they had seen.
"The Pteranodon family comes here practically every day to ride the train. You should meet them, they're really nice and their kids are so well-behaved." Station Master said.
"I think I would love to? Will they come here tomorrow?"
Station Master nodded as he took a bite of a fishwich. "Oh, definitely. They said just this afternoon after getting off from the train, that they would be going to see some friends of theirs tomorrow. You can quickly chat with them until the train arrives."
"Sounds perfect." Tracy said with a smile.
Station Master saw that Tracy's glass was almost empty and he held up a bottle. "More sparkling water?"
"Oh, yes please." Tracy said holding out her glass. Station Master poured some water into it and Tracy took a sip.
"I can't believe how good it tastes, thanks for getting this."
"You're welcome." Station Master said smiling warmly.
They finished dinner and ate mint leaves to freshen their breath. Then they remained sitting on the floor while they made out.
The time flew by as they talked and kissed. Now it was late in the night. Station Master yawned.
"You tired?" Tracy asked.
Station Master nodded. "Yeah, you too?"
Tracy nodded and she yawned as well.
Station Master smiled as he stood up and helped Tracy up to her feet. "C'mon, let's head to bed. You can sleep here with me for the night."
"Sleep here with you? What a wonderful idea." Tracy smiled. The thought of spending the night with her sweetheart sounded wonderful to her.
So Station Master guided Tracy up the spiral staircase, which was green and metal, up to the scond floor of the station building. He led her up to his room filled with storage boxes and there was a bed in the middle of all of it. He sat down on the bed and smiled as he held his hand out to Tracy. "Care to join me?" He said with a charming smile on his face.
Tracy chuckled and gave him her hand. They both rested themselves down on the mattress with Tracy once again resting her head on top of Station Master's chest. They smiled at each other as they pulled the blanket over themselves.
"Goodnight." Station Master said.
"Goodnight." Tracy said back.
They kissed each other goodnight and rested their heads down and closed their eyes.
Soon all that could be heard in the dark room was soft and pleasant snoring.
Sorry that today's story was so short, I had the idea just today (10/7/15) and I wanted to get it done quickly because my interest to write it felt limited. Anyway, have a nice day. And feel free to say what you thought about this chapter.
