Alexia was the first to stir groan, "god......why did I drink so much." Alexia asked as she grabbed her head. Than everything came rushing back the giggling, the truth spilling and than confessing their love for the other person. "Shit I need to get out of here!" Lexi said to herself truly glad she was dressed already but than realizing that they were in her quarters still.

There was a groan from the couch as Emilia rolled over and promptly fell off onto the floor with a thud, "AH! Oh god... ow.. "

"You okay?" Lexi asked softly mainly because if she talked any louder she felt like her head would explode just from the vibrations of sound.

Emilia groaned face down on the floor, "yeah..." she laid there for a few more minutes before rolling over, "my head hurts."

"Me too......." groan Lexi said with another groan, "so, how much of last night do you remember?"

The tiny brunette thought about it then giggled, causing her to wince and hold her head again, "Ow.. oh.. Lexi." she looked up at her.

{Shit.....she did remember.} Which again made her head hurt, "what do we do about this.......whatever this is or not is."

Emilia hauled herself up by the couch and sighed, "First.. hang over cure... " she looked Lexi over, "You look like crap."

"Thanks......and you're looking just lovely." Lexi said using air quotes around lovely as she tried to keep a straight face.

"I know." she responded as she rested her head on the couch cushion, "Now.. cure my hang over. Please and thanks."

Lexi slowly stood up and walked over to the replicator and order two large coffee's, eggs and greasy hash browns. "This should work......." She said setting them on the coffee table.

Without hesitation, Emilia shoved one of the hash browns in her mouth and sighed before mumbling some sort of approval.

Once her mouth wasn't full of food she rested her head back on the couch and groaned, "I need a long hot bath. But after food." she went back to eating.

Lexi took a second imagining them both in the same hot bath. She didn't realize she was still daydreaming she had her goofy little grin on her face and just staring out into nothing.

Emilia blinked at Lexi when she had no response, not a quip or some sarcastic reply. She waved a hand in front of her face, "Earth to Lexi." then poked her in the side before even giving her a decent chance to snap out of it, "Hey!"

"Err.......what?" Lexi asked looking at Emi.

"Where did you go just then?" Em asked, tilting her head a little at Lexi as she shovelled some egg into her face.

"I rather not say." Lexi said sipping on her coffee and pushing her eggs and hash browns around.

Em observed Lexi curiously for a few moments, "You've never really shied away from sharing before." it was true. For the most part Em was privy to most of what went on in Lexi's head, though last night's revelations cast some doubt on that.

Em was right she never shied away from saying what was on her mind but she did just revealed that she was in love with her close to the first moment they met. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes." replied Emilia. Her voice sounded certain but the moment she said it her stomach did a flip.

"Well.......I was just thinking of being in that hot bath with you." She said blushing a very very deep color of red.

Emilia had to stop and think about that statement. Then she was thinking about it a bit too much.

"Ah..." She was lost and not sure what to say. Em had never been that romantically active. At least not since she went to the Academy. In fact she had barely thought about it. She knew she looked too young for many people and that had been a hindrance to some extent. And aside from classes she had spent most of her time with Lexi all through the Academy.

She caught herself lost in her own thoughts when she glanced at Lexi to find her looking at her strangely with a hint of nervous worry.

Emilia couldn't say a thing as she was hit by a sudden wave of nerves and stomach flips. Her hands were fidgeting with themselves; a habit she thought she had grown out of years ago but she couldn't help but smile at Lexi all the same.

Lexi returned and scooted closer to Em and grabbed her hands and held them in hers. "It's okay to be nervous........I mean to be honest I've been a nervous wreck about this until last night when I spit it out." Bringing one of her hands up she cupped her cheek, "but.......I think it's something we both want." She said leaning in slowly to give her a kiss on the lips.

Emilia closed her eyes when Lexi kissed her and felt some of the tension leave her suddenly.

She let out a breath she had been holding when Lexi pulled back again. She could still feel her gut flipping all over the place but she was definitely a little less nervous.

"Where did.. I mean when?" she asked, both for Lexi and herself. She just couldn't place where things had changed. When they were assigned to different locations she had missed Lexi deeply but had assumed it was due to the fact that she had been her best, in truth only, friend for years.

Had she gone to so much trouble to get assigned to the same ship just because she missed her friend?

"Within the first few months of us meeting.......to be honest. There weren't any sparks I just knew that we would become more and at that time I could just push them down or push them out of the way and it was easier when we weren't seeing each other everyday but now with us serving together again I needed to say something." Lexi said grabbing ahold of her hands again.

Emilia had to smirk at a thought, "We saw each other every day for four years at the Academy. We were roomies!"

"I know......and it was the best four years of my life. But I knew if I said something back than the friendship we've now wouldn't have been this strong......and that's also why I felt like it was okay now to mention it besides from being completely shit faced last night." Lexi added.

Em nodded slowly, taking it all in. It put a new spin on a whole bunch of things in their past. She could spend weeks going through it all again. She looked to Lexi, "Wow.. that whole time. All through those episodes... no wonder you only responded to me."

"Yeah.......I mean there are other reasons why I've only responded to you when I've had my episodes but those reasons I can't even put into words." Lexi said with a small smile glad that Em just didn't get up and leave after all of these confessions.

"Now I want to know." Em shot back then grabbed the remaining hash browns and put them in her face.

"Like I said I can't describe them or put them into words. Wish I could......but I can't." Lexi said with a smile.

Emilia made a slight pout face for a moment, "Is it something to do with.. " she waved her fingers around in a motion as if it would help, "you know.. Wispy... stuff?

"Maybe........" Lexi shrugged she didn't really like talking about that side of her. Even though Star Fleet Medical hasn't forced her into a cell to be studied yet there was still a chance to.

"Right." she probably shouldn't have asked really. Em knew Lexi's aversion to discussing it but she couldn't help her constant curiosity on the subject, "Well... umm.." she toyed with Lexi's fingers...

*beepbeep* "Ensign Hou to Lt Webb."

Emilia groaned and dropped her head on Lexi's shoulder.

Lexi just smiled and lifting her head by her chin, "don't worry we'll continue this later." She said leaning in for another kiss, "plus I should probably be heading into the office as well."

Em nodded and told the Ensign she'd be in soon then went to get cleaned up, still nursing a bit of a headache.
