Disclaimer: SGU and it's Characters belong to their respective owners which, sadly, is not me. I do, however, own Alex and her story line and squad, etc, etc. This has come from my mind because my mind knows no boundaries.

Opera123: Me too, really wish they hadn't cancelled it, it had so much potential to go so far =sighs= oh well it leaves room for my imagination to run wild.

nicksmom3612: Aw thank you, its good to hear some people thing my writing is good and I have the bones for at least two more stories after this, one will follow through the end of season one to the end of season two and the other will be my own season three, god my imagination is going to run rampant with that one.

Smokers

=Alex's P.O.V=

I settled down against the headboard and grinned softly as I began to roll a cigarette, I'd been depriving myself again and again knowing that when this lot of tobacco went I probably wouldn't get any more for a very long time.

I twisted slightly turning to the beat up laptop set up on the side table and hit next before waiting to see which the next song would be, I continued to roll my cigarette and furrowed my brow before hitting next again and grinned softly listening to the rock n roll lyrics of Motley Crue's 'Dragstrip Superstar' play out.

I glanced up and rolled my eyes licking across the paper before giving a yell for whoever the hell was on the other side of the door to come in. "Afternoon love," I glanced at the watch on my side table. "Well more like evening"

Rush nodded lightly taking a shutting the door and taking a seat on the edge of the bed. "Spare one?"

"Share, I want this to last as long as it will before I got through withdrawals and make everyone life a living hell"

He laughed softly settling back against the headboard glancing around the room. "Not bad, better than mine"

"Yeah well it's away from the rest of the population but close enough so that I'm not a complete bitch hermit"

"Bitch hermit?" He queried furrowing his brow lightly.

I nodded grinning softly. "So why are you hiding?"

"I'm not"

"Yeah you are otherwise you would have gone to your own quarters, so you either want to have some fun or you want to hide but with some sort of company that's not going to make you want to take a gun to your head"

He rolled his eyes lightly. "Just light the damn smoke lass"

I grinned lightly lighting the cigarette and took a deep breath holding it as I held it out to him and slowly released the breath with a smile. "So, what's Young got you doing now?" I queried. "I can only assume that's why you came to seek out my solitude and company"

"Can't I just take a break every once in a while?"

I bit back a laugh almost failing miserably. "You, have a break?" I snorted lightly. "Do you even know the meaning of the word?"

He glared lightly throwing his fingers up at me before handing the cigarette back. "If you're going to be like that I'll leave" He made a move to get up.

"And miss out on a fag? I don't think so love" I grinned as he scowled and settled back down on the bed.

"You're lucky you're beautiful" He muttered softly settling back against the headboard and folded his arms over his chest with a soft huff.

I laughed softly. "Flattery won't work darlin' especially since it's not true"

He growled softly dragging me down and pinning me to the bed. "Don't say that, you're goddamn gorgeous and whoever tells you different should be shot"

I lay there blinking for a moment, I couldn't contain my surprise at his sudden outburst, he'd never shown this kind of possessive jealousy before, sure I'd seen it in his eyes when Matty and I were together doing something and generally having a good time but he'd never ever voiced his thoughts or done anything about it. "Love, can you let me up? You're hurting my wrists"

His eyes moved to the wrists he had his full weight pinning down and shifted loosening his grip around them before he stole the cigarette from between my lips and took a drag before leaving it in the makeshift ashtray before pressing his lips to mine, fingers slowly curling through mine as he nudged the grey tank top up slightly to reveal my torso.

I grinned lightly tipping my head back off the edge of the bed as I curled my fingers around his allowing him access to my neck, I groaned softly feeling his teeth scrap against my throat and swallowed roughly, lust burning through my body. "Just remember, you leave a mark on me, I leave a very visible mark on you"

He grinned almost as if accepting a challenge. "Is that a promise?"

"You can damn well bet your fine Scottish ass it is" I growled lowly before shifting, my skull cracking against Rush's as the door's slid open.

"Just how hard is your fucking head?" He groaned softly touching the tender spot on his head.

I groaned lowly holding my own head before looking at Rush. "Be thankful it wasn't the full force of my English skull," I grinned softly. "You can thank Saturday football matches for that"

"Have you seen... I'm not interrupting am I?"

I glared at Young. "No, of course not," I bit out sarcastically. "What the hell do you want Young?"

"I was looking for Rush, seems you found him for me"

I rolled my eyes swinging my legs off the edge of the bed and quickly finished the end of the dying cigarette as I stood. "Well here he is" I motioned to the Scotsman before crushing the end of the cigarette and grabbed my jacket off the couch as I walked past it.

"I'll talk with you later Colonel Hunter"

I gave a nod to Rush as he slipped out of the room and started off back towards the Control interface room. I stopped in the doorway looking deadpan at Young. "Must you cock block me?" I queried with a dead straight face before walking past him and slapping the door lock before heading down towards the Mess hall to get a drink and my dinner rations.

Grrr, didn't make it too 1000 words, terribly short but I promise I'll make up for it down the track it's either than or I'll tear it down and repost it but honestly this chapter irks me considerably because its so bloody short grrr... alright my rant is over for now, back to posting my other stories and playing ME3 yet again :D
