Good company

Mission: Survival of the fittest
Location: Jane's office
Timeline: following: Chance encounter

Wulfgar walked down the corridor, a hand on the wall for support. He had a stack of PADDs tucked under his other arm as he walked unsteadily towards Jane's office. He should have ordered it synthohol instead of 'dirty' as his dad would say. He stopped out side her door and, leaning against the wall to keep upright, palmed the chime in case she had someone there.

Jane was quick to the door. It swung open and she smiled up at him. Then she smelled the alcohol on his breath and chuckled. "Well hi there Wolfy what brings you to my part of the ship? You miss me already?" She teased reaching out to help steady him as best as her tiny frame could.

Wulfgar smiled down at her sheepishly as he leaned against her. He dropped his PADDs when he reached out to balance himself so as to not make Jane fall. "Of course I missed you. I always miss you when I'm not with you." He stumbled/walked into the room.

It was sweet and amusing at the same time. "Oh honey. Your not gonna like the next leg of this journey you started," She chuckled as she helped him to the new couch and helped him to sit down. She fetched his lost Padds from were they had dropped and stacked them neatly on the coffee table. "So what brought this on?" She asked curiously as she walked to the replicator for peanuts and coffee.

"Needed to relax after working my shift. Found good company and drank faster than I planned to." Wulfgar said, concentrating on his words so he didn't slur them. "Can I get a coffee, black no sugar please my darling?"

"Of course I can Wolfy no worries." He was adorable with that silly little smile on his face. She got the Coffees and was careful not to get his too hot. He might end up wearing most of it. She returned to the couch sitting next to him she handed him his cup. " Here you go my love. It will help I promise." She coaxed guiding his cup to his lips carefully.

Wulfgar chuckled as he took the cup, and her hand, and took a sip. He took another, bigger drink and let out a sigh. "I just came from talking, well, discussing is a better word, with the twins. We are going to work on making a holo program of her homeworld, well the city she was raised in at least." He took another drink, his fingers rubbing her fingers and the cup. "And we are going to add delicatty foods to the..... The... Food machines." He fumbled over the words. His mind knew the right words but it was like his mouth didn't want to say them. "But they can't cook. I said you would like to do that and they liked the idea. So can you?"

"Of course I will." She gave him a pitiful smile. "You meant the food replicators right?" She chuckled then reached out to tuck his hair behind his ear. It was getting a touch long she'd need to trim it for him soon she thought as she considered his words. "The pour Al key hall has broken yer whittle bwane." She said sweetly sitting back to take a few drinks from her own coffee.

Wulfgar smirked and raised an eyebrow at her as he downed the coffee in a couple of gulps. He reached up and took the cup from Jane, setting it down on the coffee table. The next thing Jane knew, she was off the arm of the couch and across his lap. He grinned down at her with a mischievously drunken smile as he started tickling her. "You need to be punished. I'm not a baby." His voice was full of laughter and mirth.

Jane let out a little scream then melted into a ball of laughter as she tried to wiggle away. "No wolfy Nooo! thats..... not......... fair." She gasped out.

"Oh, all's fair in love and war my dear Jane." Wulfgar chuckled as he held her in his lap and tickled a few seconds more before he stopped. "Gonna pick on me in my current state anymore?" He asked as he lifted her up a bit as he leaned in, kissing her.

She kissed him back for a moment then pulled away with a playful, "Hey now, there is no way I am going to take advantage of you in your current state. Common you can stay with me tonight. I am too tired to help you hobble to the barracks." She offered. "I might even replicate you some pajamas. You like Dinosaurs? Or rocket ships?" She teased.

"Oh, your wanting more? Still teasing?" Wulfgar laughed as he playfully pulled her back into his arms. His fingers twitched by her side's, threatening to tickle her again. "Besides, I prefer to sleep in something other than pjs." He said with a wink.

"Nightgowns? Why Wolfy I never would have guessed" She said in mock surprise then descended into a fit of laughter as his fingers found her sides and made her squirm again. "I... the... big..bad..wolf...... from .. little red.... Ridding hood." She chocked out through her laughter.

"Guess I'll have to huff and puff and tickle your to the ground." And Wulfgar broke into a furious tickling fit along her sides. In the wiggling and tickling, Jane's cup of forgotten coffee tipped over when he hit the table with his boot. "Oh crap!" He said but couldn't move due to Jane laying across his lap and the level of his intoxication.

"its ....*gasp* Its,,*Giggling* Its fine!" Jane got out after his attack had subsided. "now let me up i have to pee!"

Wulfgar let her escape as he slid forward to pick up the tipped cup. He removed his shirt and used it to absorb the spilt coffee. He was careful not to slid too far forward since he was liable to fall off the couch. "Go, I'll wait to get you yet my pretty, you and your bunny slippers too."

Jane had fled to her quarters and private bathroom leaving a trail of laughter in her wake. Yeah he was all sorts of fun tonight. After using the facilities she went to the replicator and pulled a couple things out of the catalogue before returning. She stood there a moment the rocket ship pajamas in her hands just looking at him. He had cleaned up the mess and was sitting there with that little smirk on his face. She strolled over to him careful to stay out of his grasp as she dropped the Pajamas on the coffee table. "Go and get cleaned up and I will get a movie picked out to fall asleep to." She said knowing he had a lot of work the next day and needed to get some rest. Hopefully he wouldn't be too hung over.

Wulfgar smirked more at the pajamas. He shook his head as he got unsteadily to his feet. "I'll go get cleaned up but I'm not wearing those." He said, his voice full of barely contained mirth. "I'll replicate some sweats if that's ok with you." He took a few steps and only stumbled once when a foot caught the leg of the table.

Common scence fled as Jane saw him trip and she moved forward to try and catch him. Her arms reache around under his arms and she braced her legs like a wedge stiffening her body as best she could. It worked For only a moment his weight hit her then it rebounded and thats when she reilizef it worked to well as she started to teeter forward and she was getting taken for a ride as he went.

Wulfgar stumbled forward until her weight and threw him off balance and he fell backwards. Jane fell with him and he landed on his back hard and she landed on him, her body landed in a very sensitive area and he let out an 'Oof' on impact. His eyes crossed for a moment as the pain spread up his stomach and down his legs. His stomach churned a moment, protesting the alcohol and the pain combined.

"Im so sorry." Jane exploded with absolute agony in her voice. She had felt her body all 115 ibs of her crash down between his knees into that unfortunalty vurneable place. There was nothing she could do to stop it. She saw his eyes cross and heard the sharp Oof and intake of breath. His hafec was a shade of pink then grey like he might vomit. SHe was up and off from him as quickly as she could move. "Should I call medical?" She asked having crawled up to his head to pet him soothingly. the worry was thick in her voice.

Wulfgar laid there a moment while the pain and nausea subsided before he dared to speak. "No, I don't need medical but that helps." He smiled and looked up at her. "First time you've gotten to look down at me. Enjoying the view?" He asked jokingly.

"No not really its scary. You ready to try and sit up yet??" She inquired there was a smile at the edge of her lips but her eyes still held apology and regret for her mistep.

"Yeah, I can get up but I'm not sure if I want to. I know I'm enjoying my view and I really like you running your fingers through my hair." Wulfgar stated with a grin.

"Youd like it better laying in bed then on the floor." Jane suggested as she gave him a few more pets and then went to get up herself. She reached down to offer him a hand up. "Take two?"

Wulfgar reached up to take her hand and scrambled to his feet. The speed of which he rose caused his head to swim and his stomach churn. He grabbed on to her shoulder to steady himself and offered a smile to Jane. "Aye, I think I'll take you up on the bed. That floors not as comfortable as it looks." He shot her a wink at his joke.

"I know. I have had my fair share of meetings with the deck." Jane teased back. She took his arm and lead him carefully to her private quarters, She steered him to her bathroom. "There are fresh towels hanging up. I will get you some sweat pants and a clean t shirt. Is there anything else you'd like before you get started." She asked him. "I have some of my shampoo and body wash in the cabinet. But I doubt you want to smell like Herbal essence honeysuckles and peach or Lavander."

Wulfgar chuckled. "I'm good. Thank you though." He smiled before he disappeared into the bathing room. He activated the sonic shower instead of the water one.

Jane had left him his sweats and took the time to change into her shorts and t shirt as well. She climbed up into the bed her finger scrolling the screen of her PADD looking for a good movie to watch as he took care of himself.

Wulfgar's arm reached out and took the sweats when she brought them. After his quick sonic shower, he dressed and stepped out stretching. He retrieved the spare blanket that rested on the foot of the bed. "So, what's the choice?"

"I was thinking we could watch Back to the future." She suggested kicking her bunny slippers off she scooted over so he could lay down and she curled up next to him her head on his shoulder and the padd propped on his chest for him to see the other two on her list "or Tremors one. Oooor Jurassic park." She said as she snuggled in closer to absorb his warmth.

"Your quarters, your choice." Wulfgar said before a huge yawn nearly split his head in half. "Though, I'm not sure I'll make it in far either way." He smiled and placed an arm around her shoulders.

Jane lifted her head to look at his weary face and then tucked the Padd away. "How about I sing for you instead?" She offered laying back down she fixed her arm so she could run her fingers through his hair. They fit together so perfectly. She inhaled the clean scent of his skin near his neck. The soft feel of his hair as it slid through her fingers. over and over again.

"That sounds good, you have a beautiful singing voice." He said with a smile as he closed his eyes. Just knowing she was close and safe helped him to relax at her fingers in his hair.

Jane shifted and shuffling a round a bit she had moved to the top of the bed and moved his head into her lap so she could stare down at him as she then began to use both her hands to sooth back his hair in gentle strokes. She cleared her throat then and started to sing softly one of the many songs her mother had use to sing to her as a child.

"How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time


He turns the seasons around
And so he changes her gown
But they always look in their prime

They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother Earth and Father Time


The summer larks return the scene
Oh, what a gift they give!
Then autumn days grow short and cold
Oh, what a joy to live!


How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time."

Wulfgar's eyes were closed and there was a faint smile. He snuggled his head in her lap as his breathing evened out. 'I'm the luckiest man in the Delta Quadrant.' Was his last waking thought before sleep took him.
