Just Desserts
Dearka and Millie sat on the couch in the living room of their apartment, both perusing their respective reading material. Millie was reading a novel. She was in between assignments and had naturally chosen to spend the free time with Dearka on PLANT. As such, her time there was spent on leisurely activities like shopping, movies and just plain lazing around. Dearka, however, was not so lucky. He was stuck reading mission reports.

Millie rested her head on his shoulder. He put her arm around her shoulder and started stroking her hair gently, the other hand still holding on to the blasted mission reports.

"What are you reading?"

"Mission reports."

She wrinkled her nose in distaste.

"Euw. Sounds boring."

Dearka sighed. "I promise you, it is boring. Yzak and his stupid mission reports. Why can't he read them himself?"

Millie laughed at that. Dearka was kidding of course, he really loved his job and he was loyal to Yzak. His earlier career had stalled for a while because of his prior defection during the Battle of Yakin Due but that incident had long been forgotten. Many clamoured to have Dearka promoted higher or moved to their section but he steadfastly refused all offers that did not include Yzak as his superior.

After a few minutes of reading her novel, Millie got bored and got up and went to the kitchen. Dearka heard the fridge door being opened and she returned, a lollipop in hand. She had a sweet tooth. Millie unwrapped the lollipop - grape-flavoured, judging from its purple colour - returned to her comfortable spot on Dearka's shoulder and resumed reading her novel.

The peace of the house was soon broken by the sound of Millie enthusiastically sucking on her sweet.

Dearka groaned inwardly. Millie had no idea how delicious she was to Dearka at that moment. She was positively yummy - totally engrossed in her novel and sucking on that lollipop. He tried to shut his eyes but there was no way on earth he wanted to miss the sight of Millie's pink tongue darting out to lick the lollipop. Dearka personally disliked candy but he sure wanted to be one at this moment.

"Ah, screw this. Forget the mission reports." Dearka tossed the reports away and turned to Millie, a predatory gleam in his eye.

"Eh?" Millie turned in surprise.

He pounced on Millie, pushing her down on the couch, grabbing the lollipop and tossing it out of the way.

"Wh-?"

Dearka's eyes glinted with laughter.

"I want some candy too."

He pressed his lips to hers, slowly, carefully licking the taste of the grape lollipop from her mouth. Millie's arms soon came around to encircle Dearka in her arms, exposing her throat to give him better access.

When they broke apart to breathe, Millie giggled.

"You could have just asked, you know. We could have shared the lollipop."

"Why should we share when I can get it directly from you?" Dearka's hands slipped under her blouse, moving in a suggestive manner.

Millie's eyes sparkled with mischief as she brought Dearka's face to hers again for another passionate kiss.

"What about your mission reports?"

Dearka answered in between kisses as their playful touches quickly became something distinctly more heated.

"Why bother, when there's candy to be eaten?"
