Kiss Ficlet Meme

From azephirin:

Comment with a fandom and two characters, and any prompt you'd like to give. I'll tell you about a time when they kissed. (No LOTR unless it involves at least one hobbit OC and/or interspecies; otherwise, any pairing and fandom I've ever written is fair game.)

(I borrowed the caveat and switched in an appropriate fandom.)

One of my fave rare pairs!

[A/N: I hope you don't mind genderswap -- I thought of this and suddenly ended up with the mental image of Hikari with her sword.]

Leonard watches Sulu watching the mouth of the cave, her hair and her katana gleaming in the whitehot light from outside, her fist resting on her hip. He watches her pace back and forth, and bites back everything he wants to say about how she should rest and keep out from the bitterly bright light, take some water and give him a turn keeping watch, because he's said it before and because the Romulans might be close enough to overhear, and because right now the best help he can be to her is to keep his trap shut and conserve his own energy.

At length, Sulu steps and scrambles back to them, to Leonard and to Matthews, who's still stunned. "I need to take a look around," she whispers, carefully lifting the canteen so it doesn't slosh. "You'll be all right, won't you?"

"You can't go out there!" Leonard hisses, feeling the dam crack. "If you don't roast--"

"I know the risks," she says, almost mildly but not tonelessly, not as if she doesn't care. She just knows. Leonard looks at her, her inky hair and her gentle eyes and the petal pink of her bottom lip, and crushes down the impulse to scold till she relents, to say he should be the one to go.

Sulu smiles, and tips forward to give Leonard a kiss as sweet as water, her mouth soft and tender on his. He gasps, and keeps his hands still, and kisses her until she pulls away smiling. "For luck," she whispers as she stands up over him, a slender woman with a bright sword.

Oh cool! I love the idea of Bones with a Sulu of either gender. :)
