Season 2: Mission 1: Day after Day
Location: City Ship-downtown
Ari was in a changing station and currently the system had holographically put her in a really cute white dress. She changes clothing selections and the system moves to a tubetop with a short skirt.She switches again and shes in a high school girls uniform. She laughs.
She has the system purchase the replication blueprints for the clothes and has them sent to the Lavie's computer so she can change her clothes to those.
Aidan ordered a sandwich and fries. With the change in his body, he had trouble keeping the weight on. So he dove into the hoagie with gusto.(edited)
After she finished with clothes she came and ordered lunch as well but sat at a different table. She ordered some Mediterranean dish; a Gyro but without the tortilla and with a bed of rice.
She begins to eat paying no attention to her surroundings purpossefully.
He picked his plate and went over to see with her. "Really? Just ignoring me?" When she didn't say anything, he did. "Look. First things first. I want to apologize for Yuka's behavior. I won't go into details and this is not an excuse, but like you she's had an interesting past. That's besides the point. "Aidan paused, picking up a few onion rings, and finished them before continuing. "Yuka wants to date. See other people. She made that plain. Fine. Let her expand her horizons. That means I would also be free to 'play the field'. I would be happy to be your friend, and see where this takes us. "
“I’m not ignoring you... you made your position clear... I’ll get over it... so are you enjoying your food? So you’re dating… I don’t really know what that means for me... and I thought we were already friends but friendship doesn’t really translate dating... “ she resumes eating
"Dammit. We are friends, and right about now I could really use one. I don't want to fight. Had enough of that for a long time, and really sick of everyone looking for a cinch in my armor to get at me, every time I say something. 'oh you meant this', annoying as hell." he sipped his drink and started to inhale the food, not really stopping to enjoy it anymore, but he needed the calories.
“ well I never said that I wasn’t your friend… And I am fine with being a friend… I just... or rather we are both attracted to each other so that’s kind of why as a friend I was considering distancing myself from you because I don’t want to create an issue between you and your fiancé… Those since she’s not your fiancé anymore I guess that’s not an issue at least for now and you’re right she shouldn’t be able to judge you if you decide to date someone because that would be hypocritical if she’s doing it then she should expect you to do the same.”
"Well at least THAT is cleared up." He chuckled to relieve nervous tension and frustration. "Since we are friends there is NO reason we can't have fun together. As your XO, I remind you that the better we know each other, the better we work together. Fact."
“Yeah that’s true... I think we’re all good the only thing was is that like the whole us liking each other is sort of complex but I think this will work out.” She smiled ath reassuringly
Aidan visibly relaxed. He also ordered another half hoagie. "So what do you want to do next friend?" He teased.
“Let’s go dance...”
"That, my friend, is a spectacular idea." He smiled genuinely at Ari.
She used the VX upgrade Yuka and Lumi have and her tank and shorts turn into a spaghetti string backless red dress that was tied behind her neck and was open at the sides for her legs.
Aidan had the upgrade but zipped through his wrist com instead, and selected a tasteful navy suit with matching shoes and a red tie that matched Ari's dress. "Now we don't look like ragamuffins." He also pulled out a small razor and touched up his face as the beard grew fast.(edited)
She tied her hair up and got up. She winks at him. “Heh... good stuff...” she comes over wearing three inch heeled sandals. “Lovely eh... where do you wanna go to dance?”
(The dress sort of accents her hair)
Aidan offered. "I must say, I am impressed. A nice change from BDU's and casual clothing. " He offered her his arm. "Shall we?"
“ yeah let’s go…” she took his hand and as they made their way out she said “I rock jeans too... That and some nice cute black lingerie.., you know you wanna see...” she teased
Aidan chuckled. "I'm sure I would. What's that ancient cliche' I heard at the academy? Friends with benefits?"
“Oh... yeah... that’s definitely a thing... like plus your like... One of only like a handful of guys I've ever considered a friend so there’s that...” when they arrived at the door to their destination she stood in front of him and give him a kiss. She then led the way in like nothing happened.
Had she not turned around, she would have seen him blush. He was happy that they were good in the way they interacted. Their relationship affected his the ship ran too. He also was going to enjoy the view of his friend. Immensely.
When they arrived in the dance floor she immediately took his hands and started to lead. The music that was being played was basically the type of music that would be played in a dance club. It was a sort of dance and techno music night. Pretty much the two had ended up in a club the only club in the city.
He let her lead. He was too busy watching her shake and shimmy on the dance floor. Techno wasn't thing, but he also couldn't picture leading Erin in a waltz. A tango or salsa would be much more interesting in his eyes, but then his attraction to her was coming through. It took him a few minutes to realized he was even relaxed.
The music changed to a dance song from one of the local colonies. It was a mixture of american and japanese sort of dance/pop but with a softer tone. The elegence of the music and the female vocalist singing was highly evident in the crispness of the music.
She let him lead for this song to see what he was capable of.
With how Ari looked and felt and even sounded it was hard to even fathom that this girl was a soldier much less a member of the command staff of a special forces unit.
This was more his style. For all his bluster, spit and polish, Aidan was an excellent dancer. He had learned during high school. It had served him well, and he kept up with it over the years. Marine balls, the rare evening out with his wife and a few times with Yuka. He spun her around a few times and wondered if she would be able to keep up with him.
Due to her training and skills as well as having to be faster than those she was fighting she was actually very fast and easily able to keep up. Just by dancing with her he could easily tell how good on her feet she was. She would make a perfect counter intel person. She could move, was fit but not so much that people could see muscle and she was powerful in spite of her small body.
During a short break, they both sat at a nearby table. Aidan had a fruit juice. He tried to not tempt himself with any liquor, though he didn't care if anyone else did, he just didn't trust himself. "How are you holding up there, Erin?"
She got herself a drink as well. She was grateful that the dress was not hot and it was a thin clothing so that she could do this or even practice her martial arts in it without dying of overheating. She took her drink and had it fast. When he asked how she was doing she give him a thumbs up "I'm good; Brandon put me through a hell of a lot worse..." She gave him another kiss. He could taste the liquor on her lips. Her lipstick also tasted good; when did she put that on though... he never actually saw it.
"You are more complex than I give you credit for. From the moment we first met, there was something about you that kept impressing me, and you never cease to keep me impressed. Now it's just in ways I never imagined would be happening." He offered.
"A lot has happened to me to make me more complex... I am indeed not just that angry girl who fought everyone anymore... I am glad that you enjoy though... " She winked at him.
"I hope the reverse is true, now that you don't need to avert your gaze.Neither do I." Aidan said.(edited)
She moved closer to him and pulled him into another kiss. She looked into his eyes for just a moment the lighting giving her hazel eyes an interesting change to thier color.
This time he pulled her close, kissing her back. He didn't close his eyes, he wanted to see everything about her.
When he pulled her back into a kiss and looked into her eyes she started to soften and become more tender with how she moved and worked; even her eyes seemed to release. She was less tense and with the help of Sarissa's training and thier mental link she actually felt content completely like this. It actually reminded her of being with Sariissa or Brandon; she didn't feel like this with anyone else evven the people she was close with.
Feeling her soften and melt into him, he actually hugged her tighter, which had the double benefit of having her soft in his arms, as well as mashing her considerable chest against his.Something he was thoroughly enjoying. Once the kiss broke, Aidan brushed a lock of stray hair back behind her ear. He was sure his eyes were glazing over.
She couldn't keep her eyes off of him right now. She finally spoke. "Um... Did you... want to... dance more... or... should we go?"
"Yes." he teased, with a smile. "Ladies choice." he added.
"lets go..." She said taking his arm and holding him against her. Her chest was still pressed against his arm while she was holding him.
He was enjoying every second of it. It wasn't just the carnal pleasure of it all, which he had to admit was considerable. Once they got to a place they didn't have to yell, he asked her, 'what is it about me that attracts you?"
"its simple... You care... really thats it... I mean there is physical attractiveness but aside from that... It is rare people actually care about me.. Brandon is one of the other few who did... I am not use to people actually being there for me... After my mother sent me for adoption I basically felt like I had no one... Even with the adoptive family; they had money and hired me teachers and all that but... that wasn't what I wanted... They would tell me what to do and I didn't want that either so I acted out." She explained.
"I seem to point you in direction and watch you flourish." Aidan said.(edited)
"Having a path helps too... its why when I lost Brandon... I lsot my path... you and Sarissa gave me one... Same with Koto when I first arrived in the ship."
"Glad I could help." He said honestly. "I don't like to see anyone lost or in pain."
She moves them over to a wall and presses herself against him jumping into him as thats the only way she can get up.
Aidan caught her, luckily. When her face was pressed up against his, he said, "well hello there."
She kissed him and put her arms and legs around him. She then says. "Greetings."
"Can't wait any longer? Wouldn't it be nicer in with more than one surface nearby?" He asked.
"Lets go to a hotel or something then... eh?" She said tilting her head at him.
"Anything more padded than a wall." He said, and ran his hands around to her rear.
"Awh... you don't want to have me standing with my dress on in public..." She said teasingly smirking at him slyly.

"Of course I do, but I'd rather not get road rash while we enjoy every atom of each other. Fair?"
"Yeah." She lets him carry her to whereever; after all she weighs like nothing with what hes use to.
He carried her to nearby cab and they got in. During the short ride, he enjoyed her soft skin . Getting to the hotel, they walked with her in the crook of his arms, and they held hands. They signed up for the room and he carried her to the elevator and across the threshold.
Once they got to the room she entered and took a seat on the bed watching him as he entered. She undid her sandals and lays in a provocative manner on the bed as her clothes change to a babydoll lingerie set She rests her head on her hand facing him. "hey..." She said smirking at him.
"Wow...dinner, dancing, and a show. I'm a lucky guy."
"A show you say?" She said as she got up and walked over to him slowly and even more of a seductive nature as she purposefully shakes her ass swaying back and forth and giving emphasis to her chest and curves. She finally gets to him and pulls him to her with his tie kissing him with passion.
"Two can play at the game." He got up and found the music. He swayed he hips as he removed his ties and then started to unbutton his shirt,(edited)
"Oh I wasn't playing anything..." She said as she came over as he danced and again jumped on him but she did so from behind so he landed on the bed and not to hurt himself as she made out with him.
