"Well now I know you're actually gonna go through with it, I think this might look kinda sexy." Marcus said with a grin, having looked over the purple sswatches before answering. Then he showed the swatch he had been holding, it was platinum blonde and matched with a blue for a highlight.

Rin smiled and blushed lightly. "I'll do the blonde next time, promise." she said then handed the color swatch to the woman.

About an hour later she was finished. Rin's hair was now I deep purple and she had a fresh hair cut. "what do you think?" she asked as she walked up to Marcus who sat there flipping through a magazine.

Marcus looked depressingly board, flipping through his third magazine when Rin spoke up. He had tried to pay attention at first, amused by the whole situation. But soon got bored of the painstakingly slow process.
"Hm? Well looks better then I thought it would.". He said after studying her hair from where he was lounging with a critical eye. " looks good!"

A slight glare washed over her face as he looked over her with a critical eye. "you better like it, I did this color because you suggested it!" she said with a purposely dramatic huff as she quickly turned and flick her hair in his face. "Let's get outta here." she said swing the door open.

"Oh come ooon, you gotta be thicker skinned then that!". Laughed Marcus as he followed her out, waving in goodbye to the salon ladies who cooed after him. "It looks good relax". He teased, coming up behind her and hanging his arms over her shoulders and resting his chin atop her head. " you look good."

Magical time skip

After their brief vacation Rin and Marcus returned to their duties, millions of miles apart. Months later their paths crossed again when the Battlestar Rin was stationed on was called in to extract Marcus team. The mission went fairly smoothly and they were on their way back to the safe zone. As soon as Rin was off of duty she set out to try and find Marcus.

Marcus and his squad were huddled together in the hanger around the carrier they had been brought in on, along with a few other groups of ground grunts. They had just been brought in from a hot territory, and were still all wired slightly with battle born adrenaline. They were all smudged with dirt and grim, sweat and blood, their weapons still held a bit tightly as they looked around at the strange people and ships with something akin to mistrust.
Marcus was no different from the others in this, standing shoulder to shoulder with a squadmate who was shaking his head back and forth over and over, muttering and hugging himself tightly. Marcus seemed to be talking to him, wiping grim from his face with the back of the hand that he held his helmet in. Even as he talked to the other though his eyes were never still, darting around the hanger as if looking for somewhere to hide, to perch, to take cover. And then he caught sight of a familiar purple head.

Rin had been flying escort for hours. She wasted no time finding Marcus after coming in. Still in her flight suit and helmet in hand she walked towards the group of soldiers. Her walk was brisk yet serious. When she drew closer her eyes locked with Marcus and softened ever so slightly. "I was worried about you." she said to him.

"Hey,". Marcus said with an exhale and a shakey smile. He pulled away from his squad mate and stepped away from the group towards her. " I was worried about you to, ". He said, dropping his helmet to catch Rin in a tight hug. It felt good to see her, like a refreshing breath of air.

Rin wrapped her arms tightly around his shoulders and lifted her feet as he held her up. "I really missed you." she whispered as she buried her face in his neck. She could feel him trembling. She could only imagine what he had been through. It had been some time since they had last spoken and she had begun to wander if he was still alive. As he lowered her back to the ground and she slowly pulled away she moved in and kissed him. Lightly, yet passionately. "I don't think I can go without you again." she said after pulling away.

Marcus kissed her back without hesitation, as if trying to drink in as much of Rin as he could before she pulled away. "Never gonna have to, not if I get a say in it.". Promised Marcus with a small smile, his arms still looped about her waist. It was a promise to her as much as to himself. He had thought the first six months had been hard without her. These last few though had been far worse. That all didn't seem to matter though, not now that she was here.

As much as she wanted to stay in this moment the reality of everything crashed back down on her. While trying to seem as casual as possible she stepped back to arms length. Her body language turned more shut off as she crossed her arms, as if to build a barrier between them. "I should really hit the showers, I've been crammed in that cockpit for hours." she remarked.

Marcus looked at her quizzically, confused by the change in stance and tone. He released her and let his arms fall back to his sides. "Okay?" He said with a frown. "I should get back to my squad then, I'll see you around?" As he asked he leaned down ad picked up his battered helmet, holding it in both hands as he glanced back at his fellow soldiers.

Rin bit her lip and looked around quickly then back to Marcus. "Meet me for dinner tonight in the mess hall, we can catch up then." She said with a smile. Slowly she began to step backwards, fidgeting with her helmet in her hands. "I'll see you then." she said before taking off.

After leaving the hangar she got a shower then rested in her bunk for awhile. Time seemed to drag on nearly painfully. She wanted to be with Marcus so bad but knew she couldn't, not right now. Finally it came time for dinner and she made her way to the mess hall. More quietly and less obviously than usually she made her way in and took a seat at a table near the wall. There she waited.

Marcus watched her go, feeling a bit disappointed in the way that had gone. Eventually though he returned to the others and the next few hours sent by at a snail's pace. They consisted of getting assigned bunks and quarters, getting checked over by the ship's doc, their gear being stashed, and finally dismissal to eat.
Marcus's squad consisted of himself and three others, who all cane into the mess hall dressed in fatigue pants and short sleeved shirts, one of them barefoot and two others wearing matching ball caps. All shared a variety of bandages and bruises but we're considerably more cleaner then they had been upon arrival.
Marcus eased himself away from the group hesitantly upon seeing Rin, saying something to the squad leader before he made his way to her table. The squad sat a little ways away.
"Hey,". He said with a sigh as he sat down.

Rin smiled when she saw Marcus. Her heart beat quicken as it almost always did when she was around him. But this time it was different, she was nervous. "You get settled in?" She asked leaning forward and propping her arms on the table. Legs crossed she tapped her her foot against the table.

"Yeah, D section I think,". Marcus said with a nod, folding his arms on the table top. " course, after they dragged us through every other section. Kinda last minute extraction so things in the squads are a bit chaotic at the moment."

Rin nodded. "I'm in section H." she remarked. Her eyes moved about quickly catching his but not lingering. "It's our job to be on our toes at all times, but it never seems to get easier to completely change direction. You just learn how to deal with it better I guess." she said with a sigh,then continued. "Here a few months back me and Dodger, the guy flying my wing got into -" she was interrupted when a man walked up and hugged her and kissed her cheek. "oh, hey." she stammered. As he took a seat next to Rin his bright eyes looked to Marcus. "John, this is Marcus. An old friend. Marcus, this is John... My boyfriend." she said awkwardly.

"nice to meet you!" John said and reached his hand across to Marcus for him to shake.

Marcus just stared at the offered hand for a minute, as if not sure he had heard her right. "You're boyfriend?" He asked slowly, tearing his attention from the hand to Rin. "Is that what you said?". His voice was thin, as if under a great amount of stress, and a slightly accusatory and confused flicker in his eyes. She had never mentioned a boy friend, not in her lettersor on their vacation, she must have misspoke.

John spoke up. "Yeah, we've been going out a few months now." he slowly retracted his hand and moved his arm to around Rin's shoulders. Rin's eyes were nervous and guilty. Regrets flooded her mind as she considered what she should have done differently. For a moment she locked eyes with Marcus, the feeling of betrayal was more than she could deny. No one could probably tell what was happening, but they could read each other like a book. "John works up on the bridge of the ship." she remarked in an attempt to break the tension. Though only seconds had passed she felt like it had been an hour.
