"I love these skin tight suits, Sousuke."
"So do I, Kurz."
"Huh? Usually, you follow that up with, 'because they are extremely functional.'"
"They are extremely functional, Kurz"
"But, that's not what you said, that's what I said, Sousuke. In fact, when you said, 'So, do I, Kurz', you were looking down at my ass."
"............"
"It's okay to say, 'That skin tight suit makes your ass look good, Kurz.'"
"There isn't any reason to make such a statement, Kurz. It's not relevant to our mission."
"It's relevant to other things, though."
"Kurz?"
"After the mission, I'll teach you some relevance to a statement like that, okay, Sousuke?"
"You are such a pervert! Why can't you think with something beside your dick, Kurz?"
Kurz turned with a smirk and met the scowling face of Mao. "A guy has to leave himself open to every opportunity."
She thumped him hard on the shoulder. "You may be bi, but Sagara isn't."
Kurz wagged a finger at her, eyes sparkling with humor. "You don't know that. He's all about the mission, and he's never taken the time out to explore the nicer aspects of life."
Mao snorted, "I think he is exploring the nicer aspects, with that Chidori girl. You just don't want to see it."
Kurz frowned, but remained unconvinced, "Right now, he's confused, and still asexual. Besides, he's had lots of opportunities to bang Ms. Chidori and he hasn't."
"Neither have you," Mao pointed out, "and you actually tried."
"Not really," Kurz snickered. "She wouldn't still be a virgin if I was really trying."
"You are a pervert!" She thumped him on the shoulder again and left him to consider his next move.
Sousuke had to be taken slowly. He was a man who needed mission specs, and detailed briefings, to eat lunch. Sex wasn't going to be any different. He had to be prepared, Kurz thought.
"Diagrams," Kurz muttered as he dug into his pocket to check his cash. "First we'll get some nice, full color, diagrams of what I want."

"Thank you, Kurz, for showing me this new defensive technique."
"Huh?"
"It's style is very innovative. I would never have considered those moves to incapacitate an enemy."
"Sagara! It isn't-"
"The illustrations are very informative, Kurz. We should show them to the entire team. I'm certain that Mao, especially, would be interested. She is always searching for new battle techniques."
"I really don't think..."
"May I take them, to study further?"
"Sure....." Kurz suddenly grinned and slung an arm over Sousuke's shoulders. "Hey, you know, I could help you perfect this new technique."
Sousuke considered and then shook his head. "I couldn't ask you to take on the training of a rookie. I'm sure our defensive master will be more than willing to assist me."
Kurz grimaced, thinking of the hairy, gorilla of a man, and his ever present, lecherous grin. "You're probably right about that. Still, we're best friends, right? What are best friends for, if they can't help each other out, right Sousuke?"
Sousuke considered and Kurz held his breath.
"You're right," Sousuke replied at last and Kurz let out his held breath. "What time should I be in the training gym for my first lesson?"
"Tonight," Kurz replied as he gave Sousuke a hard hug and then let him go. "Late. After everyone has gone to bed."
Sousuke nodded seriously and said, "Thank you. You are a good friend. You want to save me the embarrassment of making mistakes in front of others."
Kurz blinked, confused, and then chuckled. "Yeah, that's it. Wouldn't want top soldier, Sousuke Sagara to be less than perfect in front of everyone. It'll be our secret, all right?"
"Affirmative," Sousuke replied, looking relieved.
"See you tonight," Kurz said and watched Sousuke return to his duties. He could already feel those hard muscles under his hands, and those lips against his. It was going to be a night to remember, he thought with a satisfied smile.
