SECRET dating;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

how to play.

_{[ Kirk could feel the call of the stars in his bones. Already he was going stir crazy, seeking moe and more to distract him and keep his attention away from the endlessly dark skies beyond the glass-like walls of Yorktown. He purposefully refused to go near the repair bays where he could see his beautiful new ship being built - and she would be his, that he knew. The council could hardly give it to someone else, now could they?

He tried to keep out of his crew's hair for the most part, not wanting to crowd them as they usually had to on the ship. Even so, he enjoyed spending time with them when he could. It lead to some interesting revelations sometimes, like the fact that Hikaru's relationship was not what one might consider tradition in its monogamy. He didn't know why it struck him as surprising, but it had.

But he had never given it much thought beyond the immediate revelation, which was why it was surprising to find Hikaru at his door that afternoon. To find Hikaru suddenly against his body, shoving him against, the wall, mouth on his. He could feel the longing in it, that need for touch, for heat - it was a desire he often showed in his own kisses, that frantic energy seeking release.

Without thinking his arms wind around his pilot, pressing harder against his mouth, tongue pushing in to draw Hikaru deeper into the kiss. A moan rumbled in his throat and chest. He kissed him until his lungs screamed and he pulled back, cheeks flushed in surprise. ]}

That just broke a number of regulations, Mr. Sulu.

_{[ The words are purred, though, his hands never loosening their grip on the slightly smaller man. ]}

[ There's something oddly safe about Jim Kirk, in that same way that one who lives and works in space might find the void itself safe. It's constant and endless; at the end of the day space will always be space and Jim Kirk will always be Jim Kirk, with no caveats or hidden clauses. At the end of the day, Hikaru Sulu admires that about him. He's an easy person to like once you know him.

Hikaru chuckles, his head hanging between them for a moment before glancing towards the door. ]

We should probably close the door then.

[ He does it himself, quickly pressing the controls for the thing to slide shut. With another moment his hands are holding Kirk's face, and the second kiss is lighter, closed lipped but no less needy. When he breaks the kiss he doesn't pull away, only skims his bottom lip with his teeth and breaths. There is grounding here, ironically. God, I missed you, I missed this isn't said, but it's felt. Maybe he just misses space. ]

I don't think I ever got around to thanking you for the rescue, Captain.

_{[ Some people might argue that. It seemed around Jim Kirk all the odd things happened, all the dangerous things, but maybe that was why his crew stayed with him, and why he had the best in the Fleet. Or maybe that was his own bias talking, but he liked to believe it anyways.

Kirk's fingers brushed through the thick black hair, blinking when Hikaru cups his face and presses that second, lighter kiss to his lips. Already he had thought something strange happening when the other showed up and kissed him like that, but this... this assured him of it. He could stop this, ask him what was wrong - because he was breaking many regulations by engaging in this behavior. But at the same time, it seemed to be something Hikaru needed, and if Kirk could provide him the comfort he desired, shouldn't he? As his friend, more than his captain. ]}

Oh, is that what this visit is about?

_{[ He dropped his head to kiss along the slender neck, fingers brushing a strip of skin just above Sulu's waist band. ]}

And how do you plan on thanking me, Mr. Sulu?
