Seeing that all too familiar armor roaming around base had been like a punch right to the solar plexus. It had made it impossible to breathe or even form coherent thought. That fear had been quickly put to rest though Wash didn't think he'd be able to look at that armor any time soon and not have a shiver crawl up his spine.
Tucker was doing a remarkable job of wiping all thoughts of his former partner right out of his mind.
Deep down, he knew they were both drunk and shouldn't be doing such a rash thing as initiating their first kiss while inebriated. But the sad truth of the matter was, it just felt so...good. The ex-Freelancer didn't realize just how much he'd missed such basic human contact until this very moment.
He'd held himself apart from everyone and everything for so long, he'd forgotten how nice it felt to share a kiss with someone. Wash's eyes drifted shut slowly as he tentatively began to reciprocate.
Almost at a distance, he felt Tucker's hand rise to comb through his hair. Wash probably would have felt rather ashamed of it's sorry state considering he'd pretty much been fighting non-stop for days now with little more than his armor's sanitation devices to keep clean and odor-free. The chemical process did it's job but it left an uncomfortable sort of film on the skin and in the hair.
Yet another reason for them to not do this right now.
"What?" That garnered another befuddled look from the blond.

He doesn't even know himself
