The Martians [The Martian Fanfiction]

Sol 27

This morning was a little awkward. Mark and I slept in the rover. When I woke up he was holding onto me like a little boy holding his favourite teddy. He must have been so worried about me. He was terrified when he met me in the rover after the airlock flew off the Hab. I thought about wiggling out of his grasp but I would love to see his face when he woke up.

I shut my eyes and snuggled in his chest for warmth. While we had insulation it was too cold as... Well Mars.

"Wake up sleepy head" Marks husky morning voice whispered in my ear. I groaned and rolled out of his grasp.

"5 more minutes..." I murmured covering my face with a blanket from our trip to pathfinder.

"Adams, we don't have time for this morning routine. We have to go fix the Hab. I'll go get your spare suit from in the Hab, okay?"

I nodded and got up "did I look cold last night?" I joked with a smart ass grin.

"...." He blushed "I was um... Worried about you, thought you'd have a nightmare" he lied.

"That's sweet of you, Watney. Now go get me my suit" I laughed.

And with that her nodded "put your old suit on while I open the door. I did as he said and left it on until he returned. He would have to be quick coming back into the rover as I was breathing in carbon dioxide when I had my helmet on.

"So... The Hab airlock kind of flew straight off of the Hab, I think I know how the Hab even got a whole in the first place. While the crew was here we only used airlock 1 as it was more convenient. We put to much stress on the poor girl. Yes she's a girl, deal with it."

"Mark and I are safe. I'm started to question his mental state... He seems stressed, this morning when I woke up he was hugging me. It was the first time I'd woken up so awkwardly... Well apart from that one time in Budapest but that's another story. "

"I'm starting to think that Mark likes me more then just friends and survival buddies."

"Well I should go put my suit on, marks knocking on the door. That means I have 5 minutes to not kill myself."

Putting my heavy suit on I knocked  back as a signal that it was safe for him to enter without killing me.

"Here she is" he smiled flipping his shade up. "You may need you shade today, it's pretty bright out there today, storm free!" He said through the com taking off his helmet once the rover was safe.

I took my toxic space suit off and took my suit from Mark and suiting up. "Ready to go check out the damage I've done?" I smiled.

"It's not your fault, it's no ones" he said seriously before replacing his serious stern face with one of a smile.
