Ship: Kensei x Hisagi
Rating:T
Title: Best Way
Something was different with their Captain and Lieutenant. No one could quite put their finger on it, but things were definitely off from their norm. It wasn't a bad thing; as a matter of fact, whatever had happened between the two on their three week—three glorious weeks—shore leave had only made their dynamic better. That subtle but unmistakable tension that had existed between them since the start of their five year mission was all but gone.
Captain Kensei was a tactile guy—there was no getting around it—so he often touched Lieutenant Hisagi in some way. Though he allowed it everyone could tell that he didn't really like it; there was a tension that immediately followed the touch. But now Kensei's hand would linger, and Hisagi never tensed up, never remarked, and in fact looked like he enjoyed it. They had more meals in the mess together, and even in the privacy of their rooms where they often discussed work.
Most everyone figured it was because they had finally just had sex and resolved that sexual tension that hung around them in a heavy cloud. There was even a bet going around, on whether that was true or not; there was even one on whether it was causal relationship or if they were serious.
(There was not much to do in Squad 9 except train and sign papers, as anyone could tell you. Bets were placed about almost everything, all the time. It was how they passed the days away.)
Plus, whatever this was had really changed them both for the better. It was small things, true, but it was still in the beginning ages of—well, whatever it was. Who knew how much more it would shape them?
Yeah, that leave in the human world had changed them, but in the best damn way possible.
Best.
Damn.
Way.
Author's note: Let's just say, I will never get tried of this ship.
