Summary: Developing a concept of privacy is good for you. There are probably better ways than this, though.
There are very few things that can ruin the mood like the [BEEEEEP!] of a console with a new mission in the next room over.
“I swear those things are psychic,” Alec groaned, throwing an arm across his face.
Kami chuckled and cuddled up to him. “Maybe we make them that way.”
He opened one eye to look at the DoSAT technician next to him. “Do you, then?”
“I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself,” she said, and kissed him on his scarred cheek.
Alec was about to banter back when there was a progressively louder jingling noise from outside, which was all the warning he had to yank the blanket up around the two of them. Oh, no.
“Alec!” Kitty said, bursting in. “Did you not hear the console, or—” She froze.
“Can I help you?” he said, staring at her as though nothing was amiss.
“You—this—I—” Kitty croaked.
“Spit it out, Callahan.”
Kitty took a deep breath. “Why am I seeing this oh my gods why are you two in bed Alec you’d better not be naked under there so help me Arceus!”
“Do you not understand what a closed door means, Callahan?” Alec growled.
“What have I done to deserve this?! Why is this happening?” Kitty clapped a hand over her eyes.
Alec sighed, trying to ignore Kami stifling her giggles next to him. “Callahan! We’ve worked in Bad Het before, I assumed you didn’t need an education on the birds and the bloody bees!”
“That’s all theoretical! Not in real life! Not with anyone I know!” She let out a choked scream and stumbled backwards. “Oh, Iau Hauhai’h and all Her kits, I have never once in my life wanted to think about you naked, and now that’s literally all I can think about! It’s a pink elephants situation! Make it stop! Make it stop!”
At this point, Kami was utterly cracking up. Alec sighed and put his head in his hands. “Bleeprin’s on the table in the main room. And next time, Callahan? Knock.”
“Thank you!” Kitty paused. “…and hello, Kami.” She turned around and gently shut the door. There was a muffled scream from outside, and the sound of bells and footsteps rapidly going to find some bleeprin.
Kami buried her face in Alec’s shoulder, tears streaming down her face. “Oh my God…oh my God…that’s the funniest damn thing that’s ever happened to me,” she choked out between gasps of laughter.
“It’s not funny,” Alec said, his head still in his hands.
“It’s extremely funny,” Kami countered. “And she’s learned her lesson.”
“Oh, God, I wish she hadn’t. Not like this.”
“I can’t…stop…laughing,” Kami wheezed, doubling over. “Oh my God, my stomach hurts.”
“It’s not funny,” Alec said again, sounding miserable.
“Yeah, it is,” Kami said, wiping a tear of mirth from her eye. “And you learned a lesson, too.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Next time, Alec…lock the damn door.”
