(Season 2)
The lightest of taps stirred me from my peaceful slumber.
My eyes moved to adjust to the dim brightness as they tried to focus on the big hulking silvery figure looming nonthreateningly above me.
"It's almost time for us to leave" I hear the soft deep voice of a sliver man whisper down to me.
I grumbled something unintelligible and snuggle closer into what must be Leo's chest.
Dion simply chuckles at me and says, "I knew this would happen, that's why I did this 20 minutes earlier. You can sleep for 5 more minutes though."
Bless his alien heart.
But I resisted the sweet temptation to curl back to sleep.
"No, no. I'm up." I stretch and sit up right. "I'm used to having to wake up on a dime. In case of a life ending disaster, I can't afford '5 more minutes'." I say.
"I respect that," Dion tilts his head in affirmation of his words.
We both look at Leo who was still very much deep in sleep, and laugh under our breathes.
"How did none of that wake him?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Dion crawls the remaining distance to the sleeping gold man and planted his lips down on him.
Hard.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't caught completely off guard.
But almost instantly Leo snaps to consciousness and responds, deepening the kiss further.
"Well gawddamn..." I whispered with a low whistle.
"Wakey wakey" Dion teased as he pulls back.
"Fuck you, don't wake me up with the power of love and horny" Leo complains when their lips broke apart, his eyes still closed.
"I'll stop when it ceases to work so effectively."
Leo's hands flail about a bit, as if trying to find something.
When his hands finally find my waist he breathes a low sigh of relief than finally opens his eyes.
"Time to go?" He simply asked.
"Yeeeap." His boyfriend responds.
"Fuck it. We ball." The golden alien says as he fully awakens and finally moves to get up.

Dion was quadruple checking my oxygen tank when Leo clicks on my magnetized force fields to envelope my head and entire hair.
I'd wrestle the thing into a neat bun thanks to the conditioner I'd recently come into contact with.
Dion also told me that if I'd stayed on the surface longer they'd have even brought me hair pins that their people were beginning to replicate.
Granted I'd get my hands on them much faster now that I was going down WITH them.
But getting my hands on hairpins would be a welcome Godsend regardless-
The lightest brush of fingertips glided against my hips, and I had to fight the will of Poseidon not to sing to the high heavens.
But I must've flinched enough to catch someone's attention.
"Oh! Sorry." Leo quickly spoke, "was making sure your belt was alright."
Even though I couldn't see over my shoulder, through the reflection of my ship I saw Dion raise his head at him.
