Summary: "Why you…" she was at a loss for words. He was so…

-----------------

The door slid open with a swish. The commander was just about to head for the mess hall to grab something to eat, when he caught something in the corner of his eye. He turned and saw her walking down the corridor, away from him, shoulders slumped. His brow furrowed. She looked tired and stressed again. So, he decided it was time to go to work.

He snuck up on her and stood to her side. Before she could react, he placed a hand on her shoulder and planted a kiss on her cheek.

He watched with amusement as her cheeks grew pink as her amber eyes widened.

"M-Mwu!" she protested, face full of surprise.

He just grinned at her, making her blush even more.

"N-Not here! Someone might see us!" she exclaimed.

"What, are you embarrassed to be seen with me?" he pouted, pretending to look hurt.

"Well, I, no, but," she stammered, struggling to think of a defence. "This isn't the time and place."

She looked so kissable standing there, looking up at him, face flushed, lips slightly puckered in irritation at his audacity and her own inability to come up with a good retort.

Why let a perfect opportunity go to waste?

Lifting her chin with his hand, he touched his lips to hers in a quick but passionate kiss.

"W-What the-I-how," she could only stutter as he released her, fully enjoying seeing her flustered as he grinned from ear-to-ear.

"D-Didn't you hear a word of what I said!" she huffed once her heart calmed down slightly, and when she had managed to find her voice.

"Nope," he leaned down and nuzzled her neck, "I was too busy looking at you."

"Why you…" she was at a loss for words. He was so…

He was as irritating as he was charming!

She didn't know whether to yell at him or let him go on. Her heart wanted him to go on, but her rational mind wouldn't let her. They were in the middle of the hallway after all, where people could easily see them, and she had to go back to work.

"Stop it, someone might see us," she hissed, eyes narrowing and pulling away as he let out a small whine.

He studied her face. "You know Cap'n, you're quite cute when you're angry."

Once again, she was speechless. She didn't know whether to feel offended or flattered at that comment.

"Stop changing the subject!" she ended up huffing.

He laughed. "Okay then, do you want to go to some place more…private?" he grinned, chuckling to himself at her reddening face.

"No!" she objected, more to convince herself than him.

"Please?"

She looked up at him and immediately regretted it. He had his puppy-dog expression on: eyes soft and pleading, though it seemed like he was holding back laughter, brows furrowed and lips pouting in feigned disappointment.

She sighed as she shook her head in defeat. He knew her weaknesses when it came to this, and he was not afraid to use it against her.

"Fine, you win," she sighed as she tried her best to keep the smile off her face and glare at the annoyingly charming commander.

She scowled at that overconfident grin of his as he claimed victory. But she found it hard to keep the scowl on her face as he wrapped her in a hug as if to thank her. She just couldn't stay angry at him when he was so happy.

A beeping sound interrupted her thoughts. She saw Mwu look at his watch.

"Oops, sorry Cap'n, but you'll have to wait for me," he winked. "I'm supposed to start my shift down at the hanger."

She stared at him, speechless as he released her. First he tempted her with affection, then when he finally convinced her to put away her shyness, he had to leave? He was always like this, leaving her hanging, breathless and at a loss for words.

After a quick kiss on her cheek, he left.

She scowled again at his laughing, retreating back. That man really was annoying! But once again, she found that she could not keep the scowl on her face and the smile from creeping in.

Yes, a lot of times he annoyed her to no end, sometimes even going overboard. But he had always managed to put her in a better mood, like right now. She felt her previous stress and anxiety melt away as she laughed to herself at his antics.

The Archangel captain shook her head and chuckled as she walked back to the bridge, in a much better mood.

AN: hehe, that was random, but wasn't it cute! I love how Murrue doesn't seem to know how to deal with him sometimes. I hope I captured Mwu's personality alright.

This little fic was inspired by my first finished Mwu/Murrue fanart: www. deviantart. com/ view/ 28984462/

I just started doodling one day while watching SEED, and ended up with this. then I thought, "hey, it looks like he just snuck up on her while she was walking in the hallway", and that became this little ficlet.
