He could only hope the surprise would be enjoyed
Who: Ric and Star
What: A much anticipated delivery
When: October 2nd, Saturday afternoon (forward dated)
Where: Apartments at the Omega Base
Warnings: Fluff and suggestiveness before the FTB
Settling into Omega Base had been a little more challenging than Ric had expected. While the Haven had all the basic things they needed, Magneto had provided his people with a room, utilities and a bed and little more. Not that Ric was complaining, the Haven felt like dorms and this place felt like a real apartment. He was considering some colors to coat the walls of the new room he and Star shared, but there was one thing which needed to be taken care of before anything else in his mind.
Ric had spent way too many nights with a stiff neck or aching back from waking up sprawled across the gap where two twin mattresses met. Sure it had worked and had been better than cramming two full-grown men into one tiny bed, but it surely had its down sides. Ric had groaned aloud when he found that Omega also came equipped with twin beds, a reaction he had yet to explain to Star. Given how much more space the rooms on Brothers Islands offered and Ric's general impatience with the whole situation, he set his resolved, dug into the stash of cash he had set aside from doing various computer repairs to people and placed a very expensive order.
Ric was amazed at how difficult it was to get something delivered to Omega Base. He was not going to grip about it, those who were running the way Rictor was were just not the types to gripe about security, but it took nearly a week for the arrangements to be made. Brown eyes simply lit up when the delivery van pulled up before the Hospital-turned-apartments. The delivery men were very good at what they did, and it took only a few minutes for them to install the basic metal bed frame, lay the box springs and settle the king sized memory foam mattress into its place. Allowing himself a pleased smile, Ric ran a hand over the material, resisting the urge to fall upon the high quality bedding until Star showed up to enjoy it as well. He spent a short bit of time tucking a fitted sheet over the mattress and to stuff the long pillows into cases, then waited impatiently for the redheaded warrior to return, hoping the surprise would be enjoyed and not, you know... hated.
