Blind Date

[thethirdwonder]

It took everything Cassie had to fight her nerves as she moved through the picture perfect snowy landscape towards the location she'd been told for the blind date. Sure a part of her was excited but mostly she was nervous. Who could Cupid have set her up with? It helped a little that she knew it wasn't Kon. Actually, it helped alot.

Finally, she arrived at the empty hut and, after a deep breath, stuck her head inside. It had been decorated with tasteful silver and blue holiday decorations and in the center of the room was a beautifully set table for two, with another small table nearby with covered trays that she assumed was dinner. It looked...perfectly romantic and Cassie's breath caught in her throat, reminded of Valentine's Day and Kon and... She quickly shook her head to stop that train of thought. If anything, it proved how much she needed this.

Still looking around at the comfortable furnishings of the hut, she took off her coat and boots, revealing a nice dress Donna had helped pick out just for this occasion. Her hair was done up nicely and out of her coat pocket, she pulled out matching shoes for the dress. Once she'd fiddled with everything, peeked under the covers of the dishes and fussed with her hair in a convenient mirror, she settled down onto a couch by the wall to wait, eyes nervously trained on the door.

"We could try something after dinner..." Cassie said in a leading tone, glancing up at him as she spoke with a slightly nervous smile. "I remember something in particular that worked rather well last time..."

Chekov's grin widened. "That sounds good," he said with a small laugh. "I remember it being very good."

"Here's hoping it lives up to what you remember." Cassie teased before tucking into her food to be done quicker.

Chekov just grinned and followed her example, finishing the meal and pushing his plate away slowly. "That was very good."

Cassie daintily wiped her mouth with her napkin before setting it on the table. "It really really was."

Then, hoping she wasn't being too forward, she stood up and took his hand, guiding him to a nearby couch. She'd promised after dinner after all...

Chekov grinned and followed her, dropping into it and pulling her in close to him instead. "This is a very nice set up."

Cassie looked around for a moment before smiling back at him, hands moving to rest on his arms. "Yes, they seem to have thought of everything to make this romantic..." With only a small shy blush, she leaned in to give him a soft kiss. "See?"

Chekov smiled into that kiss and pulled her closer so he could kiss her again.

This was good. This was very good. As she kissed him, Cassie couldn't help noticing just how happy and content she was at this moment. More so then she had been in months.

He slid a hand up to tangle in her hair, smiling against her mouth as he tugged her closer to him.

Gladly moving closer, Cassie brought her arms up around his neck to close the distance even farther till she was almost in his lap. It was...different. Kon was bigger then her and tended to just engulf her in his hold. Chekov was more her size, so it was more of a tangle of limbs then one holding the other.

And it was good, so Cassie quit thinking about it and put all thought into the kiss.

Kissing was good. Chekov definitely liked that. He slid his hand up her spine, tangled gently in the wisps of hair in the back of his neck and made a soft sound.

Cassie shivered happily and broke the kiss to lean their foreheads together. "Have I mentioned yet how I'm glad my date was you?" She said softly, punctuating it with a soft kiss to the end of his nose.

Chekov laughed. "Maybe," he said, pulling her in for another kiss. "But I do not mind hearing it again."
