The Last Woman

Live a little

The next day Zora woke up in her bed with an unfamiliar weight around her torso.

It took her a long moment to realise that it was Rimmer's arm keeping her in place and close to his own body.

Zora had just enough room to swivel around in his arms and look up at him. She laughed when she realised they were both still in the clothes they were wearing yesterday. For a while, she just stayed there admiring him before deciding to kiss him

"Good morning," She whispered as he groaned and stretched.

"Morning," Rimmer replied softly.

"How are you this morning?" Zora pressed another kiss to his lips gently.

"Perfect."

For a just grinned at him and snuggled back into him feeling a wave of tiredness.
"Can we just stay here all day?" Zora tugged more duvet over her form.

"Mm, I don't see why not," Rimmer shrugged gently and wrapped his arms tighter around Zora. "But I doubt we can survive the whole day with obnoxious united times two galavanting about the ship."

Zora laughed and buried herself in the duvet once again though she wasn't even sure who this bed even belonged to.

"So, if Listy and Cat are obnoxious united...what are we?" Zora quizzed and a small smirk graced her lips as she propped herself up on her elbow. "So awkward sometimes it's painful, united?"

Rimmer snorted and snickered.
"Not exactly where I was going but you're not wrong gorgeous," He replied his hand coming to rest under his chin.

"I never am Arn," Zora smirked kissing him sweetly. "You know me, a fountain of correctness." She declared dramatically throwing an arm up in the air.

"Well, I wouldn't say never."

"Okay name one time I was wrong," Zora challenged, settling back down on the pillow.

"The time you thought it was okay to leave Lister in charge of dinner, the time you let Cat help you with those wires, the time you said you liked me-"

"Uh uh. Nope." Zora clapped a hand over the holograms mouth. "No way am I letting you talk yourself down this morning. The other two I'll give. They were definitely bad decisions but I certainly wasn't wrong on that last one."

"I think I might need a little more...convincing. "

"That can be arranged." She smirked and closed the small space between them again but just as her lips hovered over his and their breath mingled together a slightly obnoxiously loud knock came from the door.

"Whoever the bloody hell it is better have a good reason or will suffer the consequences," Zora half yelled at the door. Rimmer laughed beneath her though it soon stopped at the sudden blaring alarms.

The door finally slid open to reveal a nervous-looking Lister, Cat and Debbie. Zora jumped to her feet and Rimmer scrambled out of bed.

"What the smeg have you lot done now?" He exclaimed.

"Long story but the ship is kinda gonna self destruct," Lister explained.

"Self destruct!" They yelled.

"What the smeg have you lot been doing? it's barely even 9 am!"

"Doesn't matter now Arn. What matters is not being obliterated before we've even had breakfast!" Zora took off down the hallway towards the bridge. When she arrived she crashed into her other-self.

"What the hell is going on?" Zero threw his hair out of his face scanning the room for a particular button which he slammed his hand on as soon as he found it.
