[IC] Forgotten History

[Rose]

When Marcus got up Rin wiggled her way under the covers and to the back of the bunk just in case. Then she listened carefully to the exchange. Though she could tell it was one of his squad mates there was still the irrational fear that it was John.

"What do you think I want shit head? I want in the damn room. Now move over."

Rin tried to suppress a laugh at the man's interesting nickname for Marcus.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Well you can't. Come back later.". Marcus said with a shrug, leaning against the door frame now. He could hear Rin moving slightly behind him but didn't look back, not wanting to give his squadmate a chance to push past him. " why are you still standing here? Get lost."

[Rose]

"Why can't I come in? I'll only be a minute, I just need to grab something." The man insisted. He didn't seem to be getting the point that he would have already gotten if it had been anyone else.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Cause I said so!". Marcus said in exasperation. " you guys are always doing this to me, now its my turn so go bitch to Kyle or something just go away!" He pulled back then and closed the door with a huff, jamming the chair back under the handle. When certain it was secure he turned back towards Rin with an apologetic shrug. "Not much privacy in squads, sorry"

[Rose]

"OHHHHH! You got a girl in -" Chad began to say loudly then the door was slammed in his face.

Rin was no longer able to hold back her laughter. She clapped a hand over her mouth to try and quiet it. "Don't worry, pilots aren't any better." She said as she patted the bed for him to lay back down. "I think it's soldiers in general, we're annoying motherfuckers." She teased.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus let out a groan of defeat when he heard Chad shouting, rolling his eyes up to the ceiling. "Hes such a pain in the ass.". He muttered before rejoining Rin on the bed. "And a gossip. But there's one in every crowd."

[Rose]

As she snuggled back up to him the smile faded from her face. What if word got out about her and Marcus? That would cause big trouble for her. But it seemed that his squad mates had no idea who he was with so that was a plus. She sighed and try to push the worrisome thoughts out of her head.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus wrapped his arms around her again, deciding against bed covers since she was warmth enough for him. "Have to be anywhere anytime soon?". He asked quietly, not having seen the worried look on her face. But the same concern troubled him, a concern named John

[Rose]

For a minute or two Rin stayed silent. Then finally she reluctantly spoke up. "I'm supposed to meet some people for dinner." she said with a sigh. Softly she nuzzled into his neck, as if she was hiding. The only thing she wanted was to stay right here in bed.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Mkay, well we've still got a few hours then,". Marcus said thoughtfully, tilting his head back for her as he stroked her hair. " Or you could just blow them off and we'll stay in here till tomorrow... " he grinned mischievously down at her with this suggestion,

[Rose]

Rin forced a smile on her face and then it faded. "It's dinner with John and Tess..." she mumbled. This moment was perfect and she didn't want to ruin that but she had to tell him everything. If they were going to be together then they would have to be completely truthful with each other.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus's grin slipped away at the mention of John, shifting awkwardly in the mattress. He was quiet for a bit before asking "are you gonna tell him?"

[Rose]

Rin sat up and propped herself against the opposite end of the bunk, so that they werellooking at each other. "Yes, but I need a little time. He's a really great guy, he deserves to at least be let down easy." she said softly, her voice somewhat timid. "and I don't want him getting mad and telling everyone, that could really mess up my reputation." she explained.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus snorted before he could stop himself. "Reputation.". He muttered. " sorry, sorry your right." He said after a pause, looking down at the sheets ashe picked at them.

Just then the door burst open and in tumbled three rather loud soldiers, Chad among them as well as Marcus's squad leader, Kyle.

[Rose]

The interruption startled Rin and sent her into combat mode. Jerking the blanket up to cover herself and reaching for her gun on the floor. Before she could realize it was his squad mates she was standing, blanket haphazardly covering her, and gun aimed at them. As she realized who they were her hand pulled back the gun but her eyes widened.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Damnit guys!". Shouted Marcus over the cackling rabble, staying in place while Rin jumped up. This was not new to him, his squad was notorious for being jackasses. Having someone with him though did put an uncomfortable spin on it.
" aw take it easy Specs, we just had to see you're new friend!" Kyle grinned broadly as he shrugged off Chad and Casper to get to his feet. His eyes traveled Rin up and down, ending at the gun briefly before returning to her face. The grin turned to a smug expression and he extended a hand. "Hi, I'm Kyle Terra. You're boyfriend's superior officer and better looking friend."

[Rose]

Rin lowered the gun to her side, then dropped it on the bunk behind her. "He's not my -" She started to say out of habit then caught herself. Her eyes briefly darted back in Marcus direction then back to Kyle. "It would have been nice to meet you under different circumstances..." She trailed off after briefly shaking his hand. Trying to keep the cover wrapped around herself she returned to the bunk.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Ah its fine we're pretty informal here." Kyle winked. "Besides we just had to see Specs new buddy. And if you're not dating weeeell,"
"Don't get any ideas Kyle please" sighed Marcus, tugging on his jeans now and coming up beside Rin. "Just keep it in your pants.". He nudged Rin back towards the bed, handing her her clothes as well.
" aw come on Specs relaaaax". drawled Casper from were he was sorawled out on Chad's back, pinning the other effortlessly.

[Rose]

Rin could sense Marcus getting protective. Even around his squad mates he wanted to protect her, and that thought nearly forced a smile upon her face. Taking her clothes she moved back into the bunk and closed the curtains across the opening. Once blocked from the others she quickly got dressed. Emerging fully clothed she looked around at them before sitting on the bunk and putting on her boots. "I guess I should be going." She mumbled to Marcus.

[Thorned Hammer]

Casper snickered as Marcus glared at them before turning to give Rin a hug.
"Do you want me to go with you?". He asked her quietly. He wasn't sure what use he'd provide other than support, but if she needed it he'd be there. All she had to do was ask.
Casper continued to snicker before yelping as Kyle kicked him in the ribs.
" shut up you fucker, they're being all gooey and couply!". Scolded the squad leader.
