WHO: Illya Kuryakin & Napoleon Solo
WHEN: 226412.17, afternoon
WHERE: Enterprise: Training Room
SUMMARY: Napoleon + Illya + Sambo = ???
WARNINGS: None

They were back on the Enterprise after the shore leave to Risa - something that Napoleon had enjoyed immensely despite the awkwardness of his last evening out with Gaby. The evening itself had been amazing and they had loosened up to the point where the unspoken tension between them that had been festering for the last few months had become comfortable, welcoming, inviting. Inviting enough to the point where Napoleon had thought a kiss would be welcomed.

And it had been. It had been unbearably good and when Napoleon had reluctantly pulled it away before they got carried away, the barriers that they usually had up to maintain a perfectly innocent friendship came crashing back into place. And it had turned awkward. But he pushed the rest of their night out of mind for later thought and process, as he walked in workout clothes to a training room onboard. Just minutes before he had dressed down and sent a message to Illya to meet him in the gym. All the weird tension from the encounter with Gaby had left Napoleon feeling wired and he needed some kind of outlet. And while finding a willing partner had been a brief option, he decided to perhaps calm down that part of his life until he figured out what was going on between him and his partners before adding complications to his life.

So the work out would have to do. And since Illya was so looking forward to throwing him around under the guise of training him, this was a good alternative. Especially since Napoleon was always looking forward to spending more time with the other man, whatever the circumstances. Not that he would ever admit that. That would be revealing too much.

Being first to the training room, he started in on his stretching and pre-workout routine before Illya arrived.

Unfortunately for the both of them, neither of them were good at reading between the lines, trying to understand what exactly was being conveyed to them. Someone really needed to sit them down and explain feelings to them.

"You don't have to worry about me counting that as a win. I already do." Some of the smugness from earlier returned, along with it some normalcy. It still hurt, being shut down like he had, but he was already gearing toward ignoring what happened and doing his best to not think of Illya that way again. Because as innocent as the kiss had been, one born from annoyance of not winning and knowing it would give him the upperhand, it had shown that Illya would probably never feel the way Napoleon did.

And so, there was no point in letting his feelings get the best of him. He would shut them away out of necessity, in order to save the friendship that had developed between the two.

"Alright, I'm fine," Napoleon said, patting Illya's hand and then pulling away from it. "And you're fine. How about we go about our day now, yes?"

Illya nodded and gave a deep sigh before wiping his face with the towel. Why did it always seem like they struggled to have normal interactions? Just when they were getting along, something would happen that would throw it off completely. Honestly, Illya just wanted them to be ok with each other, to be friends if they could be. Solo was one of only a few people here that he actually trusted. Having normal friendships seemed to be difficult for him though.

Illya followed Solo out, intending to go back to his room and shower as well.
