    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    “One room.” The motel owner, an old, short, and grotesque-looking woman with a thick accent, says.

    “One room? Clear another one out then?” You insist, mildly threateningly. The woman’s eyes glaze over as she blinks. She’s not moved.

    “There are two beds; who cares?” Sevika grumbles, clearly over your antics.

    You shoot a glare in her direction, lip forming into a scowl. “I’m not sharing a room with you; you look like you snore.”

    She tells you something along the lines of go fuck or kill yourself (you weren’t really listening) before pushing past you and replacing the room keys on the counter with a stack of silver cogs.

    --- OR ---

    You're forced to go on a business trip with your least favorite coworker and share a room with her. Now you can't sleep.

    Summary

    From across the bar, her eyes caught the light as she looked up and over at the bartender. Underneath them was a storm, and it brewed every night. You'd follow them as she drank whiskey, neat; watching women, bottle girls or patrons she found attractive. Not like that was any of your business, though. You could've gave her a run for her money, with the way your eyes could wander.

    Her existence to you was a passing thing, turbulent, unstable. But it simmers just enough, her presence suffocating, but never truly dominant. Perhaps that's why she glares, the bartender's hand trembling slightly as her fingertips brush his when she takes the glass herself. She wants you, someone- to know she was there. In the way storms do, too. Dampness to the ground, coolness in the morning, branches snapped, trees fallen. All you can do is wake up and idly process the aftermath.

    You're chasing the storm. Her name is Sevika.
