Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang spent an hour on making a detailed report and then after submitting it to the his commanding officer, Dalia, he went to get some sleep. However, his destination was not within the confounds of Camp Ragnarok.

He used his communicator and dialed Amelia, who happened to be as eager as he was and picked up the call in a blink. She spoke in a shy voice, “Hello.”

The youngster could not help but smile when he heard this conservative tone, he replied, “Hello, love. Did you miss me?”

He did not have any scientific explanation on how to justify this unconsciously cheesy behavior of his, but he liked it. Amelia replied, “Yes and no.”

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow as he watched her face in the hologram, and said, “Oh, so playing mysterious, are we?”

The girl stuck out her tongue, and the boy asked, “What was your room number?”

The command base looked small on the surface, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. The military made all the personnel quarters under the ground. Well, it was to optimize the usage of a structure as a bunker at the same time as a military facility.

Amelia replied, “B-17, why do you ask?” she was unsure of his intentions.

Shi Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, “Just asking. Okay, I will contact you once I have finished the report brief with my superior. Give me twenty minutes.”

Amelia nodded with a sweet smile on her face, she was not mad at him when she recalled all the things that happened in the battlefield. She was most happy about their tag team coordination and solving five shamanti warriors in just three minutes. That was not something that could have been achieved, without quick thinking, and complete trust.

While the girl was lost in fresh nostalgia, Shi Lang came to Dalia’s cabin and asked her, “Madam, when can we perform the procedure?”

Dalia was busy dissecting the Flame Leopard and without lifting her head she said, “Tomorrow, now go date, leave me alone.”

Shi Lang smiled sheepishly and saluted her before leaving. Dalia raised her head to look at his receding silhouette and shook her head as she mumbled, “It is good to be young.”

The boy rushed through the camp maze, and got inside the command outpost building under the keen eyes of the frontier forces, Shi Lang was not wearing his mask now, he was dressed in the common training gear, a black t-shirt and a black cargo pants with boots on it.

He did not interact with anyone and using his COMM ID, he got in the accommodation area, and made his way to the room number told by Amelia. He stood in front of the door, and knocked at the metallic surface twice to attract a soft response from the inside.

“Coming.” said a feminine voice, which belonged to Amelia.

A few seconds later, the door slid open and Shi Lang found himself standing in front of a Amelia, who was dressed in a white silk pajamas, with her hair spread over her shoulder like a shawl. The girl saw Shi Lang standing in front of her and was shocked stiff. She did not expect him to come in here.

She regained her composure and peeked her head out of the threshold and checked if anyone was paying attention to her spot on both sides. After confirming that no one was there, she grabbed Shi Lang by the collar of his shirt and jousted him inside the room, then with a quick press of the buzzer switch on the side panel, closed the door.

Shi Lang did not expect such a reaction from her and stumbled inside. He asked, “What happened?”

Amelia replied with furrowed brows, “How would I explain your presence here, if someone was to see you?”

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and said, “Baby, you do realize that I am your fiancee? Also, were you not the one to hug me so tight in front of everyone when I had come here four days ago?”

A faint blush emerged at the bottom of her neck and Amelia did not know what to say to his words. To cover her embarrassment she walked up to Shi Lang and punched him in his guts. The boy had quick reflexes and caught her fist before it could leave any damage, he gave her a swirl and made it so that her back was facing him and pulled her closer in his embrace.

The girl was shocked and he was smug about it. Before Amelia could process any of this, Shi Lang placed his chin over her shoulder and said, “I have to spar with Tiberius in the morning, do not injure me, or what if I lost to him?”

Amelia replied, “You will not lose to him.” her voice was calm and soft, she did not put any resistance as the boy held her in his warm embrace. She was overwhelmed by the security she felt in his arms.

Shi Lang asked her again, “How do you know, that I will not lose?”

Amelia scoffed and said, “That guy has sub-par skills. His weaknesses are so repetitive that if you used a little of your intelligence, then you will be having him walk away with a dirty floor.”

Hearing her words, a chuckle escaped his lips and said, “You have become so much haughty after joining the frontier.”

Amelia also chuckled and asked, “So why are you here again?” although she hid it from Shi Lang, her voice was filled with a lot of anticipation. She could not pinpoint it but her stomach felt like it was flooded with butterflies.

Shi Lang pecked the top of her ear gently and said, “I will be spending my night today with you. I have to undergo some special procedure tomorrow, and after that I will not have much time.”

Amelia stiffened up like a block of stone. She did not know what to say to him. She wanted for this to happen one day but she was not ready to do it yet. She spoke up with a stammer, “Lang, I… can… you know..”

Shi Lang found her behavior odd and said, “What happened? Are you feeling okay? Shall we get you to the infirmary?”

Amelia shook her head, but a blush was creeping up to the root of her ears. Shi Lang turned her over and the girl evaded his gaze, he placed the back of his forehead over her forehead and asked, “You seem a little hot. What happened? Are you alright?”

He began to worry thinking that her health was not right. Amelia caught a sight of his anxious expression and felt guilty. She said in a low voice, “Can we just hug each other tonight, I am not ready for it yet.”

Shi Lang was able to hear very little sounds very clearly, so how could he miss this? He froze in his position. His eyes locked with Amelia’s face, the girl sensed his intense gaze and turned her face away, but when she sensed that the boy was still not saying anything, she thought he was disappointed with her, she turned to look at him, and said, “I am sorry.”

Shi Lang snapped out of his daze and took her into his embrace, then he whispered, “Amy, I came here to spend a night with you, sleep with you in my arms, but not to do anything obscene. We are not yet ready for it. Our relationship is not past that point. I like you and I love spending time with you, do not worry, I will do just as you said, hold you in my arms as we sleep, and not do anything bad.”

Amelia was surprised by his words and raised her gaze to match his and then subconsciously, the two people kissed each other.

…

The couple did not know when they ended up in the bed amidst their kissing and cuddling. They were like two pages stuck together with strong adhesive. In the morning, they woke up when Shi Lang’s communicator vibrated like the world has came to an end. He peeked through his squinted eyes and found that it was a message bomb from Major Tiberius and sighed.

Shi Lang replied for the other guy to wait for fifteen minutes. He gazed at the girl sleeping in his arms, with a serene expression and a smile crept up his lips. He caressed her face gently, but it still made the girl wake up. She opened her eyes and smiled as she said, “Good morning.”

“Good Morning, my love.” said Shi Lang as he leaned in to kiss her lips gently. Amelia reciprocated his kiss silently.

After breaking from the kiss the young boy stated, “Amy, I need to go and clean up the floor, someone is making it dirty.”

The girl let out a chuckle and said, “Go easy on him, he is still my CO.”

Shi Lang winked at her and the two people got up from the bed.
