Cleaning their appartment - Lee and a very hung over Kara
Lee had been worried about the Alien Flu that had been around especially after his talk with Gwen and reading the leaflet. He needs to get this appartment sterilised. Kara was actually snoring as he pulls on his fatigues and went into the kitchen,he puts on a large pot of coffee, having a feeling that she would need it when she finally woke up.

He pulls together all the materials he needs and makes a start.

Ow.

Kara opens her eyes blearily, and instantly regrets it. The room isn't that bright, but its making the pain in her head even worse. What the hell had she done last night?

And then she remembers. Frakking Lucas and his crazy Earth alcohol. She hears noises coming from the living area, someone's moving furniture or something, it sounds noisier than the frakking flight deck.

She groans and pulls a pillow over her head, wanting the noise and the light and the pain to just go away.

	Lee hears a groan from the bedroom, she's awake then. He goes to the kitchen and pours her a large mug of coffee and then he goes into their room and sits on the end of the bed laying a hand on her. "Coffee?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She hears him come in, his footsteps seem so loud. She groans again and tries to say something, but it's mumbled and muffled by the pillow, so all it sounds like is "mmmmppphhhh."

She doesn't want to move, ever. She just wants to lie here, forever, and not-

Wait. What did he just say?

She lifts the pillow gingerly, and sniffs.

"Coffee?" she croaks, opening her eyes blearily.

	Lee watches her groan and slowly almost definitely painfully emerge from beneath the pillow and duvet. "Hey there," he says quietly. "Thought you might need some. Some rough night there Captain." He's feeling smug, he didn't drink last night. "We're supposed to be sterilising the appartment today, some flu bug that's going round. Gonna help?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-12 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	She hauls herself up and reaches for the coffee. "Gods, I love you." She took a long sip, and sighed. She looked up at him. "Much better." She blinks. "Rough?" she asks. "Gods, what did I do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-12 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't remember?" he asks, deciding to be a little cruel. He let's her sip her coffee, she looks cute, all bleary eyed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-13 06:17 am UTC (link)
	She tries to remember, and its hard because thinking hurts. "I remember tequila. And Lucas, and swearing at him. And... he danced. And offered to let me have sex with his wife." She paused. "That stuff was amazing. You should try it some day." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Lucas did what?" he asks a little surprised. "No wonder you couldn't stand."

He smirks at her lips pursed slightly hovering somewhere between amused and slightly disaproving.

"If it causes this much pain? I'm not sure."

He pauses.

"You've got to get up though Kara, We've got to serilise the appartment, I've done the kitchen need to change all bed clothes according to instructions. Need you to help to, you promised you would."

She hadn't but he's bargaining on her being hungover enough to not remember that.

	She laughed. "Yeah, he did. He was joking. But he was so much worse than I was." He looks torn between finding it amusing and being all preachy. "I think it's kinda worth it," she says, taking another long gulp of the coffee. She narrows her eyes at him. "I did?" she asks, skeptically, lips curving into a smirk. "I don't think I was that out of it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Frak, he's been busted. "Well I was going to talk to you about it last night, but you arrived home a bit worse for wear."

He still has a half amused half disapproving look on his face.

She practically inhales the coffee.

"Well there's some kind of flu epidemic and we apparently need to do our own appartment of the med team turns up and forces you to. So I thought it best we took our own chances."

He smiles, "So more coffee there, could you handle some food?"

She shakes her head. "Oh, I see, hoping I'd believe you? Lee, since when would I volunteer for that kinda work?" She shakes her head. "Gotta at least make it sound a little plausible."

"What about whatever it is that cleans the rooms? Is that not good enough?" she asks.

She finishes the coffee and sighs. "Okay. Water, then a shower, then I'll help you clean. I don't think I can eat just yet."

She pauses, trying to muster up the energy to drag herself out of bed.

"Well it was worth the shot," he says smirk still playing at the edges of his mouth.

She asks about the room cleaning thing. "Not for the med team they want things sterilised." he shrugs. "We've not been ill we might be immune different universe and all that, but I guess I didn't want to be watched over while we do it, not like we're frakking nuggets."

She looks so pained he can't help but grin.

"Its all your own doing you know that right?"

He gets up off the end of the bed.

"I'll bring you some water, there'll be some food if you feel up to it once you're out of the shower."

"Yeah, better luck next time," she replies.

"Yeah. Okay."

He's grinning at her expense and being smug. She rolls her eyes. "Yes, I do. But I'm very glad to be providing entertainment for you on your break from cleaning. So at least some good comes out of this."

She rolls out of bed and staggers to her feet, giving herself a second as the room rights itself. "That is some good stuff," she says, blinking.

He says he'll cook for her. She walks over to him, grinning.

"Aww, you're still taking care of me even when it's 'all my own doing.'"

She slips her hands around his waist and leans against him for a few seconds, the contact feeling nice and also leaning on him is helping her keep upright.

	She leans into his; more for balance than the hug he suspects. "Yeah, I'll look after you even then." He says quietly pressing a very gentle kiss to the top of her head. Lee squeezes her to him. He walks her to the bathroom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She grins against his shoulder.

"I don't deserve you, Lee Adama," she says, as he walks her to the bathroom. She kisses his neck, smiles at him.

"Thanks," she mumbles. She pulls herself away from him and steps into the bathroom, staggering towards the shower.

The second she steps under the spray, she feels about ten times more human, and sighs deeply. She stands under the water for about five minutes - which still feels like an insanely luxurious amount of time after five years on a Battlestar. She steps out, clean and awake, patting herself dry and moving to brush her teeth.

Leaving the towel on the floor, she crosses back to the room naked to slip on some clothes.

	He let's her go to the shower and makes some toast, his jaw dropping slightly as she walks back to their room naked. He pours another two cups of coffee and butters the toast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-17 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	She comes out, dressed in sweats and a tank top. She smells more coffee and toast, and heads straight for the kitchen. "Mmm," she says, grabbing a freshly buttered slice and taking a bite. "Fanks," she says, with her mouth full. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-18 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"Feeling better?" he asks not really needing to hear the answer, the way she's digging into the toast. He takes a swig of his own coffee and smiles to himself before taking his own toast and digging in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-18 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	She grins and nods, taking another sip of coffee. She grabs a second slice and polishes it off. She grabs a large glass, fills it with water and downs it in one long drink. She sighs. "Much better." She crosses over to wrap her arms around his waist from behind. She rests her cheek against his shoulderblade. "So what have you done and what's left to do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-18 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	He leans back against her a little and smiles. "Our room, the guest room and the living area..." he reels off. "Seems excessive I know but has to be done apparently." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-18 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	She sighs against his back. "Wonderful." She pulls back and fills the glass again, drinking it slower this time. "Where do you want me to start?" she asks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-18 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	"You do the guest room, I'll do the living area, and we'll tackle the bedroom togther." He's dangling a carrot of a promise there if she wants it. He turns and plants a kiss on her head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-19 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	She grins at the suggestion of finishing in the bedroom. "Sounds good to me." He kisses her head and she sighs and pushes herself away from the counter, grabs some cleaning supplies, and heads to the guest room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-19 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	She heads to the guest room and he makes a start on the living area, following the instructions to the letter. He's used to following orders and this is nice just having something different to do. He quickly and efficiently gets the cleaning done before sneaking a peak at Kara in the guest room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She sighs and gets to work, cleaning the surfaces, doing everything she's told. She hates work like this, but like most things she doesn't like doing, she's learned to do it quickly, so she can get it over with.

She's almost done when she senses him looking at her from the doorway. She can always tell when he's near and focused on her. She peers over her shoulder and grins at him.

"Done already?" she asks, smirking.

	apollo_adama 2008-08-20 07:51 am UTC (link)
	"Seems that way." He smirks, "You sure you've been getting into all the corners." Making sure the apparment is sterlised is a drag, he muses gotta make it fun where you can. "our room then," he says grinning. "The sooner we get this done the sooner..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-20 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, sir," she says. "Wanna inspect my work to be sure? Why do I feel like I'm back at boot camp?" She smirks. "I'm not as fast as you, you go ahead, get started without me," she says, grinning at him. "Just save some of the fun for me," she adds, with a wink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-21 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	He grins and walks into the room properly. "Because, that's the last time you did any chores like this." He pretends to examine her work. "Well done Captain, keep up the good work." She mentions saving her some fun. "Believe me, there'll be enough fun for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-21 02:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Nah, got it as punishment plenty of times since then," she replies. He examines her work and she throws him a salute. "Thank you, Sir." "Good. Go start it and stop distracting me in here," she says, teasingly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-23 10:29 am UTC (link)
	Lee grins and leaves her to it. Loving the way that they make even the serious stuff have a bit of fun. He makes a start on cleaning all the surfaces, leaving stripping the bed until last. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-24 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	She finishes up and heads to the other room, crossing over to help him. "Almost done. Can I go back to bed, then?" she sighs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-24 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	"I've just got the bed to make." he says looking up and smiling at her when she enters the room. "There will be a tax for getting back into bed though, Kara." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-25 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	She crossed to help him, smirking. "A tax, huh?" she asks, grinning at him. "Like, you need to take all my clothes, that kind of tax?" she suggests, as she helps him finish the job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-26 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	"pretty much," he admits. "Nt terribly original of me I know." They finish making the bed. "It was that or sexual favours." He quips, "I thought you'd find that too predictable." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-26 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	She laughs and crawls onto the bed, making her way over to the side he's on. "Predictable, maybe, but fun," she says, waggling her eyebrows. She pulls him in for a kiss. "Wanna join me in bed?" she asks when she pulls away. "You'd have to pay the tax too..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollo_adama 2008-08-26 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	He eyes her as she crawls over the bed. His eyes dart to her ass, she has to be wiggling it on purpose. Lee allows himself to get pulled in for a kiss his and going to the back of her head. "How can I refuse that offer?" he asks. "So which tax are you talking about the clothing tax or the sexual favours tax?" He doesn't care which, he's up for either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cpt_starbuck 2008-08-26 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	She grins. "Hmmm," she considers, biting her lip playfully, suddenly feeling a second wind of energy. "How bout both?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
