Mission: Season 2; Mission 2: It's Only Fun Until Someone Gets Hurt
Location: Base Commander's Mansion
Timeline: October 20th 4566; Late Afternoon/Early Evening

Sumire was in her new study in a large estate house that she had  that was for the bases commander. It even had its own staff. She only just moved here but also kept her rooms elsewhere in case she needed some place to hide. She had finished sending off some documents and now it was the night of the 20th. As she had though in the past she really needed a break but with taking command of the station such a thing seemed far away. She called Aidan to her house and had her butler let him in. She needed to talk with him about where things would go with him with his new assignment; Sure the providence was assigned as a support ship of the Onyx but Aidan was a fleet XO... She really didn't know if he could command all of the fleet remotely; though she wished he could stay here she knew that might not be possible.
 
Aidan approached the house. He was in clean BDU's, one of the nice things about the VX is he could prepared uniforms and have a crisp set at his beck and call. He was shown to the room and introduced. He waited until the staff left. "Fancy digs. Reminds me a bit of Kiru."(edited)
 
"I've actually never been to that planet... That was Yu Layton... Anyway... So how is this going to work; Erin will be coming from station to earth II a lot; Layton is gone and you basically... You have your own command but its assigned to my station; normally that would mean I could have you all to myself; yet... here is the kicker... your the second in command of a fleet... that usually comes with a little more than some of your time away form home... How exactly do you see this working; or will it?" She asked enfolding her hands into themselves as she had her arms on her desk and leaned into her hands sort of propping her head up with them. as she looked at him.
 
"Did you seriously just accuse me of being senile? As if I cannot keep the thoughts straight in my own head? What's your name again?" He said teasing her.
 
"Yes; cranky old men have these problems... I heard they have performance issues too... At least you are not there yet..." she sticks out her tongue. She then gets serious "Although I'm 26; your 39... thats not too much of an age difference; its not like you were fucking when your like 11 and had a girl have a baby immediately as soon as she started puberty... In other words... you are not THAT old... If you are then by nobility standards I am an old hag for not being wed, popping out three children and being a permanent trophy case... You know that is what nobles use to be right... girls were married off at 12... Not my cup of tea... I should have ran away and joined SAD if that were the case..."
 
"That would be sad." He said trying not to laugh. Becoming more serious he said, "I talked to the operations Officer aboard the Providence, Sigmund Peterson. Uniquely talented person. He's tied and integrated into the ship in such a way that he actually runs most of it. So I'll be less encumbered there than I was aboard the Lavie. I just need to get my new XO into shape. I don't see being fleet XO taxing me since this is basically what I have already been doing."
 
"Okay; plus I guess its good most of our work is focused on the bugs and distress calls.... Both those things happen to us... and go through the cityship... All we need to do then is get me back to being combat ready... With last mission I feel I taxed myself more than I should have; I'm fine but I realized maybe I should take a few days... As medical suggested...  Plus the big thing in the room..."
She kisses  him. "You."
 
"I could spend a few taxing days with you." He said kissing her back. "I agree though, we need to get you back into fighting trim. So your plan is for me to help you with a vigorous amount of sexual cardio?" He said grinning like a fool.
 
She laughed "Some of that yes; but... You need to teach me ot fight smarter; not harder.... The defense ministry taught me how to fight; that suit makes it easier; now I just need to be smarter in how I fight so I don't end up breaking myself and overworking myself to the point of where I end up back in medical... heart repair and all..."
 
Aidan's face changed even as he was scooping her up. It was called the thousand year stare for a reason. "I can do that, like anyone else I train. I do it for the betterment of the soldiers et al. So don't expect me to go easy on you just becaue your curvy tucus excites me. That needs to be completely understood."
 
"Thats why I am asking you; I can get my new assistants to handle the station for me while we train... that way too after training we can focus on being a couple... So I can actually take this job with being able to actually do it."
"Plus I wouldn't want you to coddle me just because you fuck me and i'm the princess.... There is something to be said from how the ODM said that all nobles need to have compulsory service and training; so we know what we are fighting for."
 
"Okay....I can be a brutal SOB when it comes to this, so we'll need to leave training on deck and be different when in quarters." Aidan said. "In fact, might not be a bad idea to take those days on the Providence. I have plenty of room in m giant quarters and putting you there might help you get your head in the game."
 
"So train me while your training your XO; wouldn't that like... get odd and plus trianing her while training me while managing your ship.... erm... at that point I become your house-wife... I don't do domestic BTW...." She said as he held her and she wrapped her legs around him hugging him.
 
"I could get Dale to do it. He's not me, but he's good." Aidan replied. "then spend the off time with me. I get selfish that way." He said grinning/
 
"I'm just saying... get your XO trained; then if you want to do it that way; train me... cause I still want to spend time with y ou... I cant do that if your being command boy and then training your other girl..."
 
"Plus training Major Merkara is a different training. She's a combat vet. Her training will be ship operations and paperwork."(edited)
"More what I had to do when I arrived on the Lavie."
 
"Heh... that sounded different than what it actually was meant to be..."
"And... you realize you will always have a room on Lavie too...."
 
"While that's true, I have to also spend time on the Providence too. What good is a ship without a Commanding Officer." Aidan said. "Plus we are still understaffed. We could absorb the Lavie and not be full. I get it, you want your sleepovers. I do too. We'll just have to rotate and make it work."
 
"And... when the time comes.... Well... who would we live with... um.... you know when things get to more than just a drawer...."
 
'Sorry, I'm a guy. I need better information." He said.
 
".... If we move in together..."
"Who's place?"
 
"I honestly don't really care that much. I've spent much of the last 20 years living out of not much more than a duffel and uniform bag." Aidan replied.
 
"and I had closets full of clothes... Anyway... We should do that date later.. go prepare... and I'll be by." She said.
 
"Yes ma'am. What is the plan so I know what to wear?" Aidan asked..
 
"something nice... simply put..." She said as she got down and finished up her wor.
 
"Plan on a dress then." he smacked her ass playfully with a final kiss and embrace.
 
"I'll knock  you dead boy." She said as she kissed him then watched him leave.
