Rose for a Bunny

Kelly stared at the vase full of crimson red roses that sat on her desk. She was rather embarrassed as she'd already been asked five times that day what sort of special day it was. The truth was she had no idea why they'd been sent to her.

The card that had been delivered with it didn't really give her any clue as to why they were sent. They only thing that it said was that he loved her and informed her that it was from John. She sat, staring at the card, looking for any hint in the card as to why he had sent it. She let it drop to the desk, frustrated.

The door to her office opened and she frowned as the technician walked in. "Good afternoon, ma'am. Those are some lovely flowers. Are they from your husband?" Kelly nodded. "Well, I have those forms for the equipment that you tested this morning. The Captain would like them by the end of tomorrow." The tech looked to the flowers again. "So what are they for?"

"I have no idea." Kelly took the papers from him. "There are no anniversaries or events that they could be to celebrate." Kelly frowned as she looked at the flowers. Now that she thought of it he could be just messing with her head.

"Maybe he just wanted to do something nice." The tech shrugged. "Not like I understand the mind of a Spartan." The man smiled and then left the room, leaving Kelly to her work.

Kelly sat at her desk, staring down at the papers as she filled them out. The door opened but Kelly didn't bother to look up. She didn't want to answer more questions about the flowers. She was surprised to see hand settle on the desk to each side of her papers. She looked up to find loving brown eyes staring at her. "John?"

John leaned down, placing a light kiss on her cheek. "Hello there, Bunny." John glanced toward the flowers. "Do you like them?"

Kelly looked toward the bunch of roses. "I love them, I just can't figure out why you gave them to me." She reached over, running a finger over one of the petals. "So what's the occasion?"

John put on a look of mock surprise. "You really forgot such an important anniversary?" Kelly looked at him shocked. She was sure it wasn't their wedding anniversary, any birthday. It wasn't the anniversary of when they first started dating or anything. John grinned, knowingly. "Well, seems I know something that you don't."

Kelly leaned back in her chair. "Gabriel." The avatar of the AI appeared. "Lock the door." John turned to look behind him as the locks slid into place. He then looked back to Kelly, seeming to be a bit worried. Kelly stood from her seat and moved around her desk, letting her hand trail over the metal as she moved around it. John moved as she did so that he was always facing her. He tried to back up, almost through the desk as she moved to stand before him. "I'm sure that there are ways that I can get the information out of you."

John swallowed as she moved to be pressed against him. He was nearly sitting on the desk. "What are you going to do?" He kept his eyes on hers as she leaned toward him, only centimeters away from kissing him. John leaned forward to close the gap but Kelly moved away. John frowned. "Is that all you've got?"

Kelly smirked at him and he suddenly regretted his words. Her arms wrapped around his neck. Her body pressed against him as her breath spread over his neck. John turned toward her but she once more denied his attempt to kiss her. He tired a couple more times before he let out a growl of frustration. Kelly only smirked at his frustration. "Going to tell me?"

John hesitated, trying to decide. "If I tell you can we have some fun here in your office?" His hands moved from the desk to her side. Kelly smiled and nodded. "I sent them to you for the very first anniversary that we have together." Kelly shot him a confused look. "I gave them to you to celebrate the anniversary of the day that you and I met."

Kelly tilted her head to the side. "You mean you gave them to me for that first day of training when I met you and Sam?" John nodded. "That is so…" Kelly stopped, pulling him toward her, kissing him deeply. She broke the kiss. "Come on; let's make a mess of my office." She pulled him back to her and they clung to each other as they kissed.
