The Final Frontier

She frowned, hugging the book to her chest before looking up at him.

"Thank you."

 

She watched him sit before setting down the book, walking over to him and sitting next to him. She paused, looking over at him for a moment, her hands flat on her knees.

 

She considered him for a moment before scooting over and resting her head on his chest, leaning up against him.

 

She was quiet, exhaling slowly before looking up at him, her eyes like small moons. She paused for a moment before kissing his cheek lightly, her lips softly brushing his skin.

 

She smiled back at him, exposing a small, almost childlike dimple in her cheeks.

 

She flushed, considering him for a moment.

"Cute. Which one is that?"

 

She softened, obviously enamored.

"Oh..."

Just then, the radio overhead interrupted them.

"Curfew is now in effect. Everyone, please return to your rooms for the night."

 

She pursed her lips with a frown before looking over at him.

"Okay," she said quietly, standing up.

 

Digit curled up on his bed and Anya gave him a look.

"What I like is that you're asking me about this when this is your ship."

 

She frowned, looking down at Digit, who was already asleep.

"I think he'll be okay."
