Work Text:

Afternoon light filtered through the windows as Ari stepped into the mess hall, fresh from drills and craving something sweet. The hum of distant conversation filled the room, punctuated by the clatter of trays and a lone hiss from the coffee machine. A corner glowed golden, and Ari paused. There sat the Colonel, fork sinking into a glossy slice of chocolate gateau—cocoa’s rich aroma rising with each bite. He reminded her of her beloved golden, Void: earnest, eyes closed in bliss, and if he had a tail, it would be wagging happily in delight. Across from him, the Commander seemed every bit as feline as her Bombay, Sunny—aloof, mysterious, yet soft when Void was near. The Colonel tapped the Commander and offered a forkful, rich frosting clinging to the tines. The Commander shook her head, lips curving—until her hand rose to his chest, drawing him closer. A quick kiss, then she guided the fork back to his mouth. Ari flicked her eyes away, a faint smile tugging at her lips, chest warming at the sight. Alien invasions could erupt at any moment. And yet, watching her Commander be happy, Ari felt that, for now, all was well.
