Deviation

Rei leaned on her elbows with a tired sigh, slouching in her chair a bit as she wearily massaged her temples. The spreadsheet on the screen of her laptop blurred for the tiniest of moments as dark eyes flickered over the clock on her desk and she let out a groan.

These late nights were getting ridiculous, but some things couldn't be helped. She shrugged off her suit jacket and loosened the thin red tie around her collar. The rest of the office building was probably vacated by now, and she wished she could follow suite. Rei reached for her coffee mug, scowling when she found it to be empty. It wasn't even worth the effort to get up and brew another pot, and the sooner she finished cleaning up this hot mess, the sooner she could go home and pass out.

"Babe?"

Startled, Rei jumped, juggling the mug in her hands as she tried not to drop it, and allowed herself a grin when she succeeded, placing it back down on mahogany and eyeing the blonde in the office doorway.

"What are you doing here?"

Minako shrugged lightly, crossing the room and perching herself on the edge of Rei's desk. "I was worried when you didn't come home."

"You know how it gets around here at the end of the fourth quarter." Rei explained tiredly, running her fingers through dark bangs. "Gotta get the numbers in before the new year."

"I figured." The blonde chirped, plunking a styrofoam cup on her desk. "That's why I brought coffee."

"You are a goddess." Rei replied with a grin.

"Don't I know it."

The raven haired woman arched an eyebrow. "How did you get in here anyway?"

"The security guard." Minako giggled with a wink.

Rei sighed. "Mina, you're going to give that poor old man a stroke."

"Nooo." She replied cheerily, stretching her arms over her head. "The days I come to visit you are probably the best days of his life."

Violet eyes flickered over a flash of creamy skin as her shirt rose a fraction of an inch, and she unconsciously bit her lower lip as Minako's short skirt slid up on her thigh.

"Oh, see something you like?"

Rei started, totally busted, and a faint blush colored her cheeks. "You're terrible."

"Maybe it's time for a break?" the blonde suggested impishly, a mischievous grin spreading over her soft features.

"And maybe you need to get out of here before you get me into trouble." Rei replied evenly, turning her attention back to her laptop.

"All right," Minako sighed, "but real quick, before I go…."

Rei's eyes flickered up just as Minako leaned across her desk, catching hold of her tie and pulling her forward into a searing kiss. She felt the tension in her shoulders melt as lips parted, pressed against Minako's soft and yielding mouth, and for a moment, she forgot how to breathe.

The tie slipped through Minako's fingers, and her lover all but collapsed back into her chair.

"So," the blonde purred, "about that break?"

Rei couldn't slam her laptop shut fast enough.

Notes!

SO MUCH FLUFF. I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT.

Also, I've been spending way too much time watching Strawberry Panic. I swear to God, that show is so cute it makes me stupid.
