Mission: S01E01 - At the Brink of Night

Danael had just finished his shift, and had practically run back to his quarters to shower and change out of his uniform, before heading to his breakfast with EJ. He'd been thinking about their encounter throughout the rest of his shift, and just couldn't get the man out of his head. Not only was he incredibly handsome, but he was funny, and genuine as well. Turning the last curve before he arrived at EJ's quarters he stopped and made sure his clothes looked presentable. He'd changed into a pair of nice jeans, some high top sneakers in his favorite color, a vibrant blue, and a baby blue tank-top. Suddenly he wondered if that was a bit too casual, but there was nothing to be done about it now, he was already standing practically outside the door. Resolving to just make the best of it he walked up and pressed the door chime, standing and waiting for the other man to answer.

EJ Had been in the shower, getting him self ready for the breakfast with Danael, stepping out of the shower his clothes were on his towel rack a black t-shirt,black jeans and boots lay in his bathroom. In the mirror ethan did his hair. Stepping out of the bathroom he was freshly pressed for his breakfast. Walking up to his door he opened the door to see daneal stood in his door way "Well dont you look perfectly chipper laddie" he said smirking as he stepped out, looking at daneal ethan felt this little flutter somewhere deep in his core "Thank you for getting my delinquent ass back to my quarters i fear had i of actually fallen asleep in sick bay Zeke would have had both of our hides" he said laughing as he motioned for the other to follow him.

Danael had been too busy staring, and didn't respond right away to EJ's comment. "Hmm. Chipper. What?" He said, confusedly piecing together the pieces of what he'd just said. With an abashed grin he shook his head. "Sorry, got a little distracted. You like nice." He said, trying to sound more smooth than he felt. "And you are welcome. It was my pleasure, actually. And you are most likely right. He'd have been pretty steamed. I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell..." he said in answer as he began to walk along the corridor with EJ.

EJ had caught daneal staring at him but played it off "You probably slept less than me last night how is your so happy after such little sleep" ethan said laughing "Dont worry i got distracted my self" he said winking at the young nurse, ethan was feeling a little playful this morning"Well it ws my pleasure to have entered sick bay at the right time and fallen flat on my face so you had to play savior" he said laughing a little as they continued to "Also na im thick skulled me laddie or so me mother tells me" he said as they rounded the corner, clipping daneals hand with his own lingering for a few brief seconds.

"I'm naturally a night person. Always have been. I'm used to operating on little sleep." Danael replied. "Plus I have a reason to be bright eyed and bushy tailed." He added with a grin. Laughing lightly at Ethan's comment about his skull he was just about to say something when he felt their hands touch, and Ethan allowed the touch to linger. He felt his heart race, and a blush burn on his cheeks. Trying to stifle the stupid grin on his face he turned to look at EJ. "Looks like any other skull to me. Maybe just ever so slightly more attractive." He added with a wink of his own.

"Well ive not always been a night person, but for years now it just seems like my body prefers the night" he said laughing as he danced finger over the back of daneals hand, more out of habit like he did with his own hands when he was at the helm station "Aye its a preety attractive noggin at times" he said laughing as they reached the mess hall, he waited for daneal to walk in ahed of him.

Danael walked into the mess hall, thankful that not too many people were there. "I wonder what there is on the menu today." He mused aloud. A few minutes later he had his tray of food, and was waiting for Ethan to get what he wanted. The smell of what he had before him was wonderful, and reminded him he hadn't eaten since two in the morning. Scrambled eggs, with garlic, onions, and peppers, crispy bacon, hashbrowns, and coffee with lots of sugar, and cream, would definitely hit the spot.

Once they were seated, and had begun to eat he looked up, "So, how did you sleep after I do unceremoniously dropped you into your bed? Hopefully you were able to get comfortable with your clothes on." He said. He had wondered if he should have helped him at least take off the shirt, but had been far too nervous to even suggest it.

"I slept ok, first time ive slept uninterupted in a while so thank you" he said smiling at daneal, infront of EJ was a full english breakfast and english breakfast tea to the side of him "How did you sleep?" Ej asked taking a sip from his and shovelling scrambled eggs and a sausage into his mouth. He smiled at the man over from him "Luckily im not on shift for a few hours yet" he said as he swallowed the food in his mouth.

Danael finished chewing the bite he was eating, and followed it with a small drink of the still quite warm coffee. "Haven't been to bed yet. I was on gamma shift last night. It was the last day of my weekly rotation, that one is usually gamma for a new nurse." he said. "But I have the day off, and then go back to Alpha shift tomorrow, so I need to stay awake all day anyway, which should be fun." he said, only slightly sarcastically. "What do you have planned for the rest of the morning?" he asked, tucking back into his food.

The ship's intercom sounded for an immediate summons. "Ensign O'Donoghue to the Bridge please. O'Donoghue to the Bridge" came the Captain's voice. With a little congestive viral infection going around the ship, Fig was a little 'undermanned' when it came to the Bridge. Sorry, Ej thought the Captain to herself. She needed another body at a bridge station and trusted her helmsmen. Arturo was already handling navigation for Shras as he slept. Fig was going to slide EJ into his usual seat at the helm.
