Prompt: "Stars, not again!"
Pairing: Kai x Cinder


Eyes closed, Kai let his lips graze Cinder's one more time, then let his forehead rest against hers. He was never going to get enough of being near her. She really was the missing piece to his puzzle. All he wanted was—

The door creaked open.

Kai threw up his hands. "Stars, not again!"

Iko peeked her head into the room and giggled. "Thought I might find you here! Ever thought of finding a different location to make-out in?"

Kai missed the days when Iko couldn't do anything but shriek or nearly pass out in his presence. That side of her had been much easier to deal with. Now that he was part of the crew and she had gotten used to the fact that he liked Cinder, well, she'd become a devious little spy. Not to mention quite the nuisance when it came to romance.

"Kai, will you please excuse us?" Cinder's voice was cool and deadly. Kai had learned in the last week that this voice meant that Cinder was not to be trifled with.

"Sure."

As he slipped out of the room, he couldn't help but stage-whisper to Iko: "Good luck as a ship."
