"Funny. I thought the doctor was always the last to know. Loophole. When a person picks a dare, you can dare them to tell you the truth about something." Faith answered as she ran the devise over Larkin's head. He should have a full head of hair in the morning...or so. Faith lightly giggled. "It's no secret. If it was then I shouldn't know about it."

Larkin smiled as she answered his question about the loophole and ran the follicle stimulator over his head. He looked into her eyes and chuckled. He was really enjoying this visit he had smiled more here with her than he has in a year.
"Decided I need hair huh? Wonderful! I dare you to tell me the truth about what your feelng, right now, this instant." Larkin said with a playful and whistful smile. Looks like he would be waking up with a head full of hair. He thought about taking Faiths hands in his own, and even reached for them but held back put his hands back at his side.

Why oh why did I tell him the loophole?
"What I'm feeling?" Faith took a little breath. "Stupidity toward me at letting you in on the loophole, Happy, contented, and curious." This instant was basically it. Of course, depending on what happens or doesn't happen Faith could feel many more and different ways. Actually, being a gal one could feel every emotion all at once. Those were never good times...especially to be around people.
"Eh, yeah. I mean why not? Hair might suit you better, as long as it stays short."

"Curious you say? About what Faith, You've got me intrigued." Larkin asked with a playful smile and a wink. Larkin stopped and looked at Faith and realized for the first time that she really was a beautiful woman. He closed his eyes only for an instant and once more looked at Faith smiling warmly.

"Curious you say? About what Faith, You've got me intrigued."
"Just certain factors." It was unusual still to see Larkin smile as much as he'd been. Not to mention playfulness. And she had caught the hand motion out of the corner of her eye. Not that they were bad things. It just seemed a bit strange to see a sudden change or maybe she just got too used to seeing him the other way.
Although Faith could not read minds she had sensed a change of emotion. It was an involuntary, the sensing of emotion. The closer Faith was with a person; friendship wise and such, not physically; the more there was a chance to pick up a deviation of emotion or a stray thought if she wanted to or not.
"Sometimes I think you forget I'm not fully Human."

"Sometimes I think you forget I'm not fully Human."
He cursed inside his head, she must of picked up on his change of emotion. He had forgot that she was part Betazoid. Oh well, no hiding it now. If asked he would tell, no interrgation required. He could not help but think how incredibly wrong this had the potential to go. Boldly going where no bald man has gone before he thought to himself and chuckled. He felt his face warm up and realzed that he had a light blush upon his cheek. Way to hide that.

"Is there something you want to tell me but aren't?" Faith inquired on a more serious tone than they had been conversing before. Though more serious her voice was still soft and calm. Alright, she couldn't quite place the emotion she had sensed since the strongest one had been happy, light, fun. She saw his face slightly redden. With concern Faith placed a hand to his forehead. Doesn't feel like a fever.

"Is there something you want to tell me but aren't?"
"What me? HA ha ha ha" He laughed nervously. He then went serious and took Faith's hands in his own and looked her in the eyes. He smiled softly and give her hands a tender squeeze. He thuoght to himself well heres the moment of truth hopefully she didn't have her shields up
"Faith...I like you a lot, and uh.....I was uh....oh blast it anyway" Tired of stumbling over his words he gently walked over to Faith and placed an arm behind her back and leaned down and kissed her. As he kissed her her he thought a quick prayer to let this go over well.

Nervousness. What possible reason could he have to be nervous? It was just the two of them. Not exactly strangers; more along the lines of really good friends. A certain puzzlement came from that. Faith didn't have any traps rigged in her quarters that might snatch him up by the ankle, either. He then took her hands in his, and gave them a gentle squeeze. Somehow it felt different than before.
"Faith...I like you a lot, and uh.....I was uh....oh blast it anyway"
Faith was listening and trying to make sense of Larkin's words or rather lack of. A lot of gaps to fill. However before anything else could happen he leaned in and kissed her. It was most definitely a surprise! Not exactly a bad surprise either as Faith slipped her hands up and around Larkin's neck as she returned the kiss. It was rather nice, even if unexpected.
After about a minute or so Faith stopped kissing, and took one step back. She had suddenly become filled with fear, and uncertainty. It took a moment before she found her tongue to speak. "Uh. Hmm...Larkin..." No one said it was the most articulate speech.

After what seemed like a lifetime of a wonderful kiss faith pulled away and took a step back. Larkin's face was beat red, not of anger just blushing badly. He could not help but smile as he looked at Faith. It was a warm smile, a comforting one. Well at least that was his hope, that his smile providing comfort.
"Uh. Hmm...Larkin..."
"Yeah...I know. Uh...surprise! Hope it was a good one, you seemed to have enjoyed that and I enjoyed that....I am going to shut the hell up now because I am embarrasing myself" Said larkin still stammering over his words. He ran a hand over his head, and let out a small gasp as he already felt little hairs. Wow that thing worked quick.

"Hmm? Oh. I...I enjoyed it." Faith paused and looked down. "Very much. It's just..." How to put this delicately? "Um..." Hmm... "I don't..." This was turning out to be harder than she thought. Faith looked back up. "What do you want of me?"
One minute they were the best of friends playing a childish game, and now, now they were... Maybe that was the problem. What were they now? Was the kiss a mistake? A thing of the moment deal? Thoughts? Feelings? Everything just seemed to change. So fast.

"What do you want of me?"
Larkin smiled as he wathed her find the right words. When she finally found them he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was not sure if this going as well as he'd of liked but it was not going bad either, it was settling for middle ground. He would say what he had to and lay his heart out so to speak.
"Well Faith I was....we've been great friends for a long time now. I was...I was wanting to perhaps take a our friendship to the next level. Uh...date..." There it was. He said it, and managede to get through it with out much stammering. The call was now in Faiths court and he hoped it would be returned.

A date?Hadn't seen that one coming. Faith thought to herself. But I should have. She rebuked herself for not paying more and better attention. Maybe he just thought he wanted to date. People do get lonely after a time. After a time?! That was stupid. People get lonely. Period. She had been closet to him sort of before, and after the crises that was totally life changing. Closet female companion.
Faith started to pace back and forth. It was just something she did when she was nervous or in deep thought. Right now it was both. She tapped the side of her forehead lightly with the tips of her fingers on her right hand as she did her pacing. Would there be anything wrong with a date? Maybe not. I do like him...but... Faith released a very light exasperated sigh. She stopped her pacing, and faced Larkin; arms folded across her chest.
"I'm not quite sure. As far as I feel. Yes, I'll admit to enjoying the kiss, but," Faith walked back over to Larkin, and placed her hands on his shoulders. "the very last thing in the world I want to do is cause you pain. What if we started dating and things were a mess? What if we ended up yelling at each other all the time? It sounds nice,"
Faith then rested her head on Larkin's shoulder and lowered her voice. "I'm afraid."

"I'm not quite sure. As far as I feel. Yes, I'll admit to enjoying the kiss, but, the very last thing in the world I want to do is cause you pain. What if we started dating and things were a mess? What if we ended up yelling at each other all the time?''
"You enjoyed the kiss as well, thats great, I did too." He placed his hands over Faith's as they rested on his shoulders. "Faith am I expecting things to be perfect between us if we start dating, no. Will we argue, of course, that is simply something couples do. As for causing me pain, Faith you have taken away much pain that I have had with me. Through this entire mess you were there for me. Now I ask you, let me be there for you." Larkin said as he took her hands and kissed them gently.
"I'm afraid."
Larkin rested his head tenderly against her own and wrapped his arms around her in a comforting tender hug. "Don't be afraid Faith, I will protect you from every thing out here among the stars. You will be safe with me, and if it your heart that you worried about, its in great hands." Larkin said comforting Faith and rubbing her back.

Actually she was not worried about her heart. Frankly she could care less. It was his heart that she was concerned about. At least didn't expect things to be peachy keen. That was good. Faith closed her eyes, and began to rest somewhat easy when Larkin put his arms around her, and started rubbing her back. It did feel nice. "I suppose if you are up for the risk, we could try dating and see how it goes." There was just one thing. "Promise me though we'll take it slow. Baby steps."
