The basement pool, Tuesday evening

The pool was quiet and deserted when Ivanova padded down, shedding towel and flipflops by the poolside. Being back on the station and the abrupt realisation that soon she'd be heading right back for good had made her appreciate things like a really big pool. She paused for a moment on the end of the highest diving board, savouring the moment, before diving gracefully off. Cannonballs were for later.

[[Pool's open, come join my waterbaby.]]

Maia stood in the doorway entrance of the pool, her breath caught in her throat as she watched Ivanova from the high board. Her eyes stayed on her as she jumped up and then into the dive, she followed her form moving through the water until she surfaced.

Ivanova surfaced, taking off in long easy strokes towards the opposite end of the pool, her back to Maia. She reached the other side, turned, pushed off, and began swimming back. She caught sight of Maia halfway across, pausing for a moment and a grin spreading across her face. She sped up the pace, surfacing by the side of the pool nearest Maia, folding her arms on the cool wet tile.

"Hey."

Maia smiled at her "Hi." She said stepping into the pool area now and laying her towel on the nearest chair. "How's your eye?" Maia siad wincing a little at the sight of it. She felt a little guilty for having been so stupid in the market place.

Ivanova shrugged. "It's not bad. I've had worse. It's going away quite nicely, actually. Edmund gave me an icepack and I took some drugs." Her brow furrowed a bit, concerned. "How about you? How are you doing?"

"I'm alright." She said with a small sad smile. "I'm glad I went with you." She said after a few minutes. She walked over and sat on the edge of the pool next to Ivanova's arms. "Your leaving as soon as graduation is over aren't you?" She said staring off into the pool.

"I have to," Ivanova replied levelly. "I have a job to do. They won't let me stay." She draped her elbow over Maia's knee, floating closer and looking up at her. "I didn't mind that so much before. Now I do."

Maia looked at her and smiled that sad smile again. "I can't come this time can I?" She said, her hand moving idly to play with a strand of Ivanova's hair.

"I'm probably not going back to the station at all," Ivanova replied, leaning into the touch a bit. "I'll be on a ship, a battlecruiser. And battlecruisers are no place for little Maias. As much as I would like it to be."

Maia smiled "No I suppose not, not after just being on the station for the weekend." She enjoyed feeling Ivanova lean into her touches. "Did I thank you yet for saving me?" She said a slight smile playing on her lips. She knew Susan was leaving. It wasn't out of nowhere the way Chiana had left, they had time. They had the rest of the week and she wanted to make the most out of their time left.

"Are you going into battle then?" Maia said in a tight voice.

"I don't know if you did in so many words," Ivanova said with a smirk. "But that thing you did with your tongue while we were, well, that kinda said it for you."

She didn't want to answer her second question. She herself didn't know the answer. Earth wasn't at war. At the moment. That could change. So instead she pushed off a bit from the wall, holding out her hands to Maia. "Come on, swim with me a bit."

Maia blushed slightly at Ivanova's words. "I...well I was very grateful for what you did." She said blushing even more now.

She noticed Ivanova avoid the question and she let it go. Getting into the water slowly she went to Ivanova's outstretched hands and then whispered close to her ear "Well I like what you do with your hands."

"I'm sure you do," Ivanova purred back, her leg bumping and sliding against Maia's underwater as she kicked her feet slowly to stay in place. Said hands were sliding over Maia's waist at the moment as they floated together.

"I loved being with you up there this weekend. Your so...amazing when your working." Maia said, she leaned into Susan a little and kissed her neck very carefully. Her thumbs rubbing her shoulders, little shivers running through her with each of Ivanova's touches.

"I don't recall doing much work when you were around," Ivanova murmured, arching her neck a bit to allow Maia easier access. "You definitely didn't see me at my best . . ." she trailed off for a moment, distracted by Maia. "Professionally speaking."

Her hands were roaming over Maia's back freely now, dipping down to stroke over her thigh.

Maia shivered again against Ivanova's neck, her tongue reaching out for a moment before she closed her mouth onto it in another kiss.

"I think..." Maia said with a slight shiver as she touched her thigh. "I think your...oh...I think your very professional...Susan..." Maia breathed, her fingers tightening on Ivanova's neck for a moment.

"Do you now?" Ivanova purred. Her original plan had been to string Maia along for a bit and then dunk her underwater. This? Was so much more fun. So instead she pressed her leg between Maia's thighs, swaying a little in the water. "Mmm, Maia . . ."

Maia's breath stopped for a moment, she loved feeling Ivanova there. "Stay with me tonight?" She whispered as she moaned a little into Ivanova swaying against her. "And yes..I-I do." Maia whispered, her mouth moving to Susan's, tongue teasing a little before she broke it off with a smirk.

At this point, Ivanova couldn't really say 'no' to an offer like that. She nodded slightly. "I'll stay with you tonight. And every night as long as we have," she murmured. It was hard to kiss her as hard as she wanted to, having nothing to stop them from drifting, but she tried anyways, sending them floating in slow circles as she kissed Maia deeply.
