“I’d just rather that you didn’t leave my side right now.” Red frowned. “It’s not safe.”

Purple sighed harshly. “Red, for crying out loud, I have my armour on, and it’s not like I’m defenseless. Stop treating me like a smeet!”

“Stop acting like one!” Red snapped. “Pur, your life is in danger and you’re prancing around with your new pet like nothing’s wrong!”

Red’s co-Tallest scowled. “You’re not my superior, Red. We’re equals, and I can do whatever I want on this ship. I don’t have to take orders from you.”

Red sat down at his desk, massaging his temples. “I’m not giving you orders, Purple, I’m trying to keep you safe.”

“Meero isn’t a threat, Red!” Purple snapped.

His eyes narrowing angrily, Red whirled around in his seat and stood, glaring at his co-Tallest. “How do you know?!” Red shouted at him. “For all you know, HE could have written that letter!”

Purple backed up, actual fear showing in his eyes. Red had never been this angry at him before. “He…he wouldn’t do that, Red.” He murmured. “I know he wouldn’t.”

“You’ve known him for less than a week, Purple! How can you be so sure?”

Pur bit his lip for a long moment, then shook his head, turning away and floating towards the door. “I’m going out. I don’t need your approval to date someone, Red. I don’t need your approval for anything.”

“Take a guard with you.” Red snapped, pulling out his logbook as the door slid shut, separating him from Purple for the next few hours.

*

Purple is starting to resent me…he obviously doesn’t understand that I’m trying to help him. And even though I’m the one who wrote the letter, I still hate the fact that Pur trusts that stupid little Invader Meero so much, after only knowing him for a few days. It makes me angry that he’s so trusting…but why doesn’t he trust ME? I’m the one who’s been by his side the longest, and he pushes me away for some stupid soldier he barely knows!!

I hate admitting this, but…

…it hurts.

**************

Purple sat back on the plush couch in one of the private lounges, shaking his head. “I know he has a good reason to be uptight, but I just don’t get why he’s so distrusting of you.”

Meero smirked. “Maybe he’s jealous.”

The Taller Irken burst out into a fit of riotous laughter. When he finally stopped, he wiped tears of mirth from his eyes, shaking his head. He turned and looked at Meero, who quirked an antenna. Purple blinked at him in surprise. “Wait…you were serious?”

“Why else would I have said it?”

Purple’s antennae twitched, his expression one of confusion. “But…he’s my co-ruler!”

Meero chuckled. “So? Does that mean he can’t have feelings for you?”

Pur shifted uncomfortably. “I really don’t think I’m his type.” His antennae drooped a little. “Besides, he gets really impatient with me sometimes.”

The semi-Tall Invader shrugged. “Well, maybe not, then. It doesn’t really matter, though…”

“Why is that?” Purple quirked an antenna.

Meero shifted closer to him, nuzzling his cheek. “Because you have me now.” He kissed Purple softly, reaching up and stroking one of Pur’s antennae, twirling it around his finger, pleased by his Tallest’s gasps of pleasure. He took the antenna into his mouth and sucked it slowly, twisting his tongue around it.

Purple moaned loudly, a warm feeling spreading through him as Meero did things Pur had never experienced before. “Meero…” He purred, wrapping his arms around the shorter Irken’s waist and pulling him into his lap, kissing him softly.

“Shh…” Meero murmured softly, placing a fingertip over Purple’s lips, gently kissing him on the forehead, then brushing his lips gently over Pur’s temple and kissing the base of his antenna. “Just lie back…”

Pur arched and moaned as his officer licked and sucked gently on his throat, brushing his lips across the sensitive skin there. Gasping, Purple held him tighter, his fingers digging into Meero’s back.

“Please…”

**************

Tallest Purple returned to his room very late in the evening, a giddy smile on his face. The smile faded slightly when he saw Red curled up in his bed, and Purple sighed, shaking his head. Could it be possible that Red had…those kind of feelings for him? Pur rolled his eyes and scolded himself for even thinking something so ridiculous. Stripping out of his ceremonial robes and armour, he pulled his sleep robes on and climbed under the blankets, eventually drifting off.

*********

Red woke early in the morning, stretching and yawning, looking down at Purple, who was still sound asleep, his antennae twitching occasionally. Sighing softly, he reached out and ran his fingertips lightly over Pur’s shoulder, frowning suddenly. Leaning closer, he saw several faint marks on Purple’s skin…his eyes turned deep scarlet with rage when he realized what the marks were. Clenching his fists, he rose from Purple’s bed, returning to his own chamber, storming into the bathroom and stripping angrily, flipping the switch to run the gel into the tub. Uttering a frustrated snarl, he slammed his fists down on the smooth counter, his breaths hissing through clenched teeth.

He leaned against the counter until he heard the gel stop running, then sighed heavily, his antennae drooping slightly as he shook his head and climbed into the tub, sinking down into the warm gel, not really feeling any better.

Maybe his whole plan wasn’t so amazing after all.

********

Pur sat up, yawning and scratching the back of his neck, blushing when he remembered how Meero had teased him until he was squirming the night before. He smiled sheepishly, then looked over, surprised that Red wasn’t there next to him. Shrugging, Purple rose to his feet, stretching and arching his lean body, sighing dreamily as thoughts of Meero ran through his head. As he walked towards the bathroom, he caught a glimpse of something on one of the monitors Red had installed for the bathroom cameras. Pur stepped closer, nodding when he saw that his co-Tallest was just taking a bath. He’d probably be back to start bossing him around again in a matter of minutes. Purple rolled his eyes, about to walk away when he noticed that something wasn’t quite right. Red was usually an in-and-out of the gel bath type Irken, it was Purple who liked to take his time. But it looked like Red had just sunk into the gel up to his chin, and he wasn’t moving. Cocking his head, Pur tapped the monitor to see if perhaps it was malfunctioning, but that didn’t seem to be the case. Sitting down at his desk to watch, he tried to figure out why Red was behaving so strangely. Maybe he’d fallen asleep? It was possible. But that possibility was negated when he saw Red move, sitting up in the tub…

…and burying his face in his hands.

Purple frowned in concern. What was wrong with Red? He rose, shaking his head. Probably just a headache.

********

Red floated back into Purple’s room fully dressed in his Tallest robes and armour, his eyes narrowing slightly when he saw Pur sitting on the edge of the bed, doing up the lower part of his robe, still wearing just an undershirt. Red’s fists clenched again when he saw more of those little marks scattered along Purple’s sharply defined collarbone.

“You let him take your armour off, didn’t you?” Red growled, trying to restrain his anger for fear that he’d say something nasty.

Purple jumped, not having realized that Red was in the room. He flushed guiltily, then shook his head and frowned. Why on Irk should he feel guilty? Red wasn’t in charge of what he did. “None of your business, Red,” he snapped.

Scowling, Red turned and floated towards the door. “Fine. I’ll be in the lab helping the scientists with their designs for the voice-automated clothing.”

It wasn’t until a few minutes after Red had left that Purple’s head shot up. “Voice automated WHAT?!”

To Krimzon: mmm, yes, I don’t know if all of us have those wishes, but I certainly wouldn’t mind waking up next to a warm Purple Tallest. I liked Pur’s little moody snap at Red…I figured it went with his character too.
To InvaderMonkey: LOL nah, he’s not a boyfriend thief, he just jumped his place in line *winks* and don’t worry, if I need Nny, I’ll let you know.
To BurningSilence: yeah, it’s hard to hate a nice character. I like that. It’s a great thing to write, especially if you know your audience is rooting for certain characters. And yes, Red is a naughty boy. Hope things are going a little better for you now. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.
To Kharn: sorry I took so long to update…and yeah, Red is such a devious little guy. I love him. And Pur’s cute when he’s oblivious.
To Daaku: Dense? Hmm, yes, that’s a term that describes Purple quite well. *g* And the letter idea was a flash of inspiration from who knows where. I’m glad I got that idea, because it pulled everything together quite nicely.
To raavika: heh, Purple has noooo idea. He’s so cute when he’s clueless. I love that about him. Cluelessness in other characters is usually annoying, but he’s just adorable like that.
To Tama-Sama: Thanks for the review, and stay tuned!
To XxSilentNightRainxX: Glad you liked the chapter, and don’t worry, I’m going to keep up with this one. I really like it.
To VTSFY: You seem to be a new reviewy peep! Welcome! Thanks so much for reviewing, and I’m glad you like my story. It’s great to have another reviewer on board.
To Yaoifanboy: heh…yeah…hotness seems to follow Red and Purple wherever they go…
To Levi: Thanks for reviewing, Ahz. Glad you like.
