“This was a bad idea,” Seelix muttered
“What are you talking about this was ‘your’ idea”
“Yes, and I am now seeing the error of my ways.” Seelix muttered.
Cally peered around the door into the rec room. “Why?”
“Because-” Seelix said, she didn’t finish her sentence however. Instead she stood still, looking a bit strange, with her mouth open. Cally turned to where Seelix was looking, and then she grinned, and elbowed Seelix in the gut.
“Hi Felix,” Cally said, her voice holding more sweetness than was necessary.
Gaeta could sense it and he looked a little uncertain, “hey Cally…” he said slowly, then his eyes flicked to where Seelix was standing. “Vanessa,” he said before he excused himself and crossed the threshold into the rec room.
It was only then that Cally allowed herself to laugh-and laugh she did. Loud guffaws that left her breathless and left Seelix looking pissed.
“What’s so funny?” Selix demanded, this was the wrong question to ask because it just set Cally off all over again.
“You don’t see it do you? HE.LIKES.YOU!!!God Seelix, you really are blind sometimes, you know that” cally said once she had calmed down
"Oh yes. I clearly saw that." Seelix snapped.
"Clearly that is where I have gone wrong! It's when they are silent that they like you!"
“Hay don’t frakking snap at me misses” cally said
"We're here for you, not me, if we were, we would be here until the next millennium, now," Seelix took hold of Cally's shoulder and spun her around. "Get in there!" And for good measure she pushed her.
“Seelix” cally yelled as she fell into the room
“That was so not frakking funny”
"Yeah, it really was." Seelix said, helping Cally up.
Cally glared at her, as if to say ‘frak off’ and went to get a drink
Seelix stood in the entrance of the room and then she followed Cally for a drink.
“So how do I start this? I can’t just go over there and say ‘crash I wanna get to know you’ so what do I do?”
"Ask if you can play."
“You know as well as I do, iam shit at triad”
"Better than me," Seelix said off handily. "Watch my friend, and learn." She pushed her hair back from her face and walked over to the table where they were playing. She leaned down and asked Helo a question, he looked back at Seelix and smiled then he nodded and Seelix grinned. She grabbed two spare chairs from another table and sent Cally a pointed look.
“Crash can I sit with you and watch, so I can see how it all works?” Cally said smiling at him rather sweetly.
Beside her Seelix already was perplexed. Somehow Helo had talked her into getting a hand and Cally was dealt one as well.
"Okay, so then what do I do with this?" Seelix asked.
"Pray to the gods," Hot Dog said as he peered over her shoulder.
"Shuddup," Seelix snapped, pulling her cards flush against her chest.
Cally looked down at the cards in front of her, she bit her lip and then she looked at Crash.
"Okay," Crash put his cards down and shifted over so he was closer to Cally. "Not a bad hand," he said looking at her.
Cally grinned and then pointed at a card, "I'll put this one back right?" She took hold of it but then changed her mind at the look on Crashdown's face. "No," she thought for a moment, "this one then."
Crashdown nodded and she put down her card onto the table.
She looked at Crash afterwards a big smile lighting up her face
"Thank you" she mouthed to him
She looked down at her cards again, and then looked at what the others where putting down, and got a look of frustration on her face.
"Frak, iam never gonna get this” she mumbled to herself
“Hay your doing ok” Crash whispered in her ear.
Cally turned to Crash and smiled “you think?” Cally said
“Yeah, I do, Cally just relax, iam right here if you need me” Crash said into her ear
Cally turned her head slightly so she was face to with crash, their faces were very close, so close that if one of them moved forward their lips would meet.
There eyes where stuck on each other, neither being able to look away.
Cally’s breath caught in her throat as they continued to look at each other
Cally’s gaze flickered down to his lips, then back up to Crash’s eyes.
Seelix watched this interaction rather intrigued, it was very obvious to her that Crash did indeed like Cally as well, now she just had to find a way for them both to admit it.
She pored herself a drink of ambrosia “Cally, you want another drink?” she asked pulling them both out of their moment.
Cally turned to seelix “yeah thanks” she said, making it obvious that the thanks was for breaking up their little moment before she did something she shouldn’t in front of half of galactica’s crew. Seelix poured Cally another glass of ambrosia, and Cally took a long drink from it, drinking almost half of the glass. The looked down at her cards when it was her turn and choose a card and shot Crash a look to make sure she had choose the right one, he nodded his head, and Cally put it down and picked up another.
She drank down the rest of the ambrosia and picked up the bottle and poured herself another, swallowing back the whole glass and pouring another.
She sat it down on the table, and looked at her cards again; she glanced at Crash to see he was watching her with a curious look on his face.
“What?” she asked
“Your knocking them back quite a lot aren’t you” Crash asked
Cally looked at her drink, realising she had already drank 2 glasses in the last couple of minutes.
Cally grinned, knocked back another glass and shrugged her shoulders.
Crash laughed and shook his head as Cally continued to grin.
“You know, I like this side of you Cally” Crash whispered in Cally’s ear.
“Oh…really? And you don’t like the other side!” Cally said
“The other sides good too, but it’s nice to see you let loose” Crash said
“Oh really, well ill have to let loose more often then” Cally said winking at Crash before turning to Seelix, who was grinning at her
“Well? How am I doing?” Cally whispered to Seelix
“Great, Cally he likes you, that much is obvious” Selix said
“Okay, Seelix it’s really hard, do you know how much I wanted to kiss him earlier! Gods, I wanna kiss him so much” Cally said very quietly putting her head in her hands.
Seelix rubbed her arm.
“You okay Cally” Helo asked
Cally looked up to see Helo, Crash, and Gaeta all looking at her
“Yeah, just tired” Cally said.
She poured herself another drink “Cally, slow down, your gonna have a hell of a hang-over otherwise” Helo said to the young girl he thought of as a little sister.
“You’re as bad as the chief, you know that” Cally giggled as she gulped down half of the liquid in the glass.
Helo and the others laughed as that comment.
“Lets play cards people” Helo said taking a mouthful of his own drink.
They got back to playing, but all the while Crash kept an eye on Cally as she drank more and more throughout the night. After a few hands Cally had more then enough to drink, and was starting to feel the effects
“iam out guys, iam going to bed, before I pass out right here” Cally said giggling as she tried to get up from the table, she wobbled when she stood, and her head spun.
“Frak” Cally moaned as the room spun around her.
“Cally?” Seelix, Crash and Helo asked as they all watched the rather frakked specialist sway when she got up
“Im okay, just need to get to bed” Cally said walking toward the hatch
“Iam gonna go with her, make sure she gets their okay” Crash said getting up and going after Cally.
Seelix grinned at Crash’s concern for a very drunk Cally.
‘Oh he definitely likes her’ Seelix thought to herself as Crash followed Cally out the room.
Cally was staggering down the hallway as crash caught up with her.
“Cally, slow down, your going to hurt yourself if you’re not careful”
“And!!! Why would you care?” Cally slurred
Crash stopped her, turning her to look at him that was when he saw the tears
“Hay, whats wrong?” he said wiping her cheeks with his thumbs
“Nothing… I just…frak I don’t know anymore Crash” Cally said
“Shhh its okay” he said wrapping his arms around her, pulling her in so her head rested on his chest.
Cally buried her head into his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist as he held onto her.
“Come on. Let’s get you back to your bunk” Crash said after a few minutes of just holding her.
Crash and Cally walked down the hallway, with one arm still wrapped around Cally’s shoulders so she doesn’t fall or anything, and Cally’s leaning heavily on crash.
Once they got back to the enlisted quarters Cally fell onto her bunk.
“Frak, crash make it stop spinning”Cally said as she squeezed her eyes shut.
Crash sat down on the edge of Cally’s bunk; he moved her hair out from her face, tucking it behind her ear. Cally opened her eyes and looked up at Crash, whose hand was still on her cheek.
They both stared at each other for a few minutes, neither being able to take their gaze away from each other.
Cally brought her hand up to Crash’s neck, wrapping in around the back of it and pulled him down, until he was about an inch away from her lips. She lipped her lips to tell him what she wanted, but wanted Crash to close the space to show it was what he wanted as well.
Crash closed the small distance between them crashing his lips to Cally’s in a very passionate kiss.
It started out frenzied but them slowed down until they where just very slowly kissing.
Cally pulled away after they had been kissing for about 5 minutes.
“Whoa” she said
Crash chuckled “my thoughts exactly”
“Iam sorry, I just wanted to see…” Cally said getting worried Crash regretted kissing her
“No, Cally I didn’t mean it like that, I wanted to kiss you, infact id been wanting to kiss you all night” he said running his hand through her hair.
“Oh…you did?” Cally asked shocked
“Yeah I did, and you know what??? I wanna do it again” he said leaning down when Cally nodded, and they kissed again, this time with more passion behind it, like they couldn’t get enough of each other. As they where kissing the door to the bunk opened and Seelix, Gaeta and helo walked in, coming to check cally was feeling alright.
Cally and Crash pulled apart when they heard the door, but not before Seelix saw 2 very red and embarrassed people staring back at her.
“Uhhh I gotta go, hope you feel okay in the morning Cally” Crash said walking towards the door.
“Thanks” she said.
Once Gaeta and Helo had seen she was okay they left Cally and Seelix alone.
“Well? What happened? Where we interrupting something?” she asked sitting down on her bunk, that was opposite cally’s.
Cally blushed beet red “OH MY GOD! We did, didn’t we?” Seelix said grinning from ear to ear.
Cally brought her hand up to her lips, and she could still taste Crash on them, and she grinned at Seelix.
“You might off!!!” she laughed.
“You guys kissed, didn’t you? What was it like?”
“Yeah, oh my god, Van he is an amazing kisser, frak me” Cally said as she couldn’t stop grinning.
“See I told you he liked you” Seelix said proud that she had helped her best friend.
“well we will see tomorrow, if it still holds true, if he talks to me then he does, if he ignores me, then he obviously regrets it” she says getting up and grabbing her pj’s and getting changed at the same time as Seelix.
The girls get into bed and chat some more about how good a kisser Crashdown is before Cally falls asleep dreaming about Crash.
“This was a bad idea,” Seelix muttered
“What are you talking about this was ‘your’ idea”
“Yes, and I am now seeing the error of my ways.” Seelix muttered.
Cally peered around the door into the rec room. “Why?”
“Because-” Seelix said, she didn’t finish her sentence however. Instead she stood still, looking a bit strange, with her mouth open. Cally turned to where Seelix was looking, and then she grinned, and elbowed Seelix in the gut.
“Hi Felix,” Cally said, her voice holding more sweetness than was necessary.
Gaeta could sense it and he looked a little uncertain, “hey Cally…” he said slowly, then his eyes flicked to where Seelix was standing. “Vanessa,” he said before he excused himself and crossed the threshold into the rec room.
