Graham enters Ace's office with two bags of food. "Good afternoon."
Ace looks up, "it is very good now," she looks him over. "Come here." She sets her glasses down. She forgot her contacts that morning. Graham comes closer to her.
"Where's Liam?"
"He is having a chat with Nyssa," she takes the bags from him and sets them down. She grabs the lapels of his jacket and brings him in for a kiss.
"When does Graham usually show up?"
Nyssa looks at the clock, "about now. He usually comes by here to drop my food off. Let's see if he visited your sister first." The two of them walk the short distance to Ace's office. "See what I mean about them?"
"I do," they watch as one of Ace's hands moves to the back of his neck as the kiss deepens. "Mhmm," Liam says, clearing his voice, "can I meet the man before anything more can happen?" The kiss breaks and Graham steps to the side of Ace.
"Liam, I was enjoying myself."
"Oh I know sister of mine," Liam looks at Graham who isn't meeting awayones eyes and mumbling something.
"What are you saying?"
"I didn't plan on you first meeting me when I was kissing your sister."
"More like making out," Nyssa jokes.
"It was enjoyable Graham, don't worry." Ace says as Graham grows red. "Later we can enjoy more."
"Dorothy, what did I ask earlier?"
"You do not want to know about my sex life, no matter how good it is."
"Ace," Graham moans in protest, she turns to him.
"It was more than good," she runs her tongue along her lips. Nyssa's eyes go wide as her friend does that.
"Ace please."
"I couldn't help myself. Maybe this weekend we can try and watch the movie that Tegan gave me."
"Ok," he croaks. "Is anyone hungry," he looks at everyone in the room, his eyes falling on Ace last. He watches as her eyes grow darker. "For the food I brought."
"Yes, I am. Liam by the way. My sister here has told me little about you. She did call me the other night telling me that she is in love with someone and they loved her back."
"I do love your sister." Graham hands out the food.
"Graham, here sometimes eats vegan food too. I had to tell him to bring meat for himself."
"How long have you been eating vegan food for my sister?"
"I."
"Oh I can answer that, he is always careful to make sure he doesn't mix up the meals."
"Do tell me more Nyssa," Liam looks over to her for a second before glancing back at his sister who has reached over to grab Graham's hand. He smiles at this. Everyone in the room jumps when Ace's office phone goes off. She gets up and answers it.
"Well, is everyone comfortable?" She sits back down next to Graham on the couch. The other two were on chairs.
"Why?"
"That was the call from the police, every building in the area is in lockdown. Before you ask Nyssa, no I don't have any of my Nitro." Ace relaxes more against Graham who puts his arm over her. "You all should call your family. Yes, Liam I am including Caitriona in that."
"Want me to tell Ryan anything," Graham asks her.
"To stay at home. They don't know how far this thing will move."
"Got it. You going to call anyone?"
"My brother is here," she looks over at Liam who already has his phone out. "Nyssa has Tegan covered. You are here. The people who matter the most are either here or will be called by someone here." Graham kisses her cheek before getting up and getting his phone out. Ace pulls him back down. He smiles at her and she leans against him.
"Grandad, where are you?"
"I am at A Charitable Earth."
"You don't need to impress Ace."
"I know that, but I still want to spend time with her. I love my lunches with her. This lunch we were joined by her brother and Nyssa. Ace says to stay home."
"I will, and don't worry everythings is locked."
"Good. Do you want me to say anything to Ace or Nyssa?"
"Can you hand the phone over to Ace?"
"I can," he looks at Ace who is looking at him.
"He wants to talk to you." Ace leans closer to Graham as she puts the phone to her ear.
"Hello Ryan."
"Please keep an eye on him."
"I will, don't worry. Minus UNIT this is probably the safest place to be."
"Are you sure?"
"I do upgrades to the security every few months."
"Good."
"You be safe too."
"I will. Do you want to talk to Graham more?"
"I'm good." Ace hangs up the phone.
"He just wanted to make sure you were safe."
"I am," he gets more comfortable. "As much as I want you in my arms all the time. I know you probably have some work to get done."
"I already knew the moment that my two favorite men were here; I wouldn't be getting any work done."
"Why?"
"Let's see my protective little brother meeting someone I am dating."
"Don't forget I have never met any of your other partners," Liam says as he rejoins them.
"You live in the states."
"You know I would be here as quickly as possible if it meant meeting someone you were in love with. As I did this time."
"I guess, I just wanted to be sure what I had was real."
Nyssa who got off the phone with a worried Tegan, "and what you have with Graham is real."
Looking at Graham, "the most real I have ever felt for someone."
"Only could happen with someone who traveled with the Doctor right?"
"Yeah."
"He is dad approved then," Liam jokes. Ace just shakes her head.
"Does anyone want me to turn on the news? I have a hidden tv for when something like this happens." She gets nods of approval. They sit there as they watch a police chase going on.
