Title: Searing Heat – Chapter 3 – Reflections 2: Scorpius
Pairings: Sikozu/Scorpius
When: Set just after the kiss in We're so screwed: La Bomba
Summary: Smut and perhaps some after-glow stuff and a conversation or two if the mood takes me. Scorpius' reflections on first encounters of a certain kind.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of Farscape, wish I did, but it isn't going to happen.
Author's note: I love the Sikozu/Scorpius pairing; it was one of the best parts of Farscape. And I can't find that many shippers. Sequel to Hesitation. Possibly more to follow in a series of S/S fanfics. - Nexus
Chapter 3
On his way back to his cell, Scorpius made sure that he avoided any of Moya's crew mates; it was surprisingly easy, as everyone seemed to be otherwise engaged, as he had predicted. He made it back to his cell without incident, and closed the door behind him, luckily he had had the foresight to ask Sikozu to leave it open for his return.
Once sat on his bed, Scorpius was thankful for the quiet that had enveloped Moya; he needed to think, and disliked being disturbed whilst he was doing so. Firstly, he needed to make sure that his exertions in the past arn or so had not greatly weakened him. His pulse rate was still slightly elevated, but that was to be expected. Everything else appeared to be in full working order, thanks to Sikozu's modification's, his cooling suit was now more effective and efficient than ever before, something he was grateful for, considering his present situation.
Scorpius' mind then turned to both more pleasant, and more troubling things. He had anticipated that his and Sikozu's relationship could progress the way it had, and in hindsight, was surprised that she had not acted sooner. He never made the first move with partners, preferring them to come to him. He had been monitoring Sikozu's attraction to him for sometime, and he had concluded that this new development was as a result of not only her ongoing attraction to him, and their relationship as allies, but also due to what they had experienced in the lift compartment not 6 arns ago. Perhaps she believed that she owed him something, after his tenderness towards her. He could not deny that his actions then had been influenced by some more tender feeling towards her than just an obligation to protect her as an ally. She would have come to no great harm on the floor if he had left her there. He still did not fully understand why he had not, and resolved to search himself to find out why and then subdue the feelings or thoughts that had led to a course of action which now seemed a little foolish. He could not allow himself to become weakened by emotions at this point. He was not about to forsake the self discipline that he had fought so hard to gain and that had served him well in the past.
As for Sikozu's feelings towards him, well, he must keep more of a check on her. For now it would be fine to indulge in more sexual relations, as long as they were nothing more than recreational. His warning to her about caring for him should help serve that purpose. Although if she did care for him, it would make her more likely to bend to his will. In spite of this, he knew she had her own agenda, and it would be hard to sway her from her predestined path.
Nevertheless, he would try, if only to save her from his darker side.
