Albert Kesler sighed as he looked out the window. "While I understand the logistical operations of the base and how they apply to our deployments, the one thing I will never comprehend is the weather."
There had been a freak blizzard overnight, and so everyone was stuck indoors until snow removal could dig out enough of a path for the base to become functional. The junior officer continued. "...I'm not even sure how this is probable out here, much less possible."
Eugen smiled as she turned over in his bed- She had come to stay the night, just wanting to be held by Albert while she teased him a little. He was still in his black pajamas, while she had put on her dark grey knit sweater. She had declined to put on her skirt or stockings, leaving her in her black panties below her waist and nothing else. "Haha. Weather around here can be more of a matter of feeling than science sometimes. Maybe people just wanted a winter wonderland~"
Albert blinked. "...Are you saying this is some sort of fairyland?"
Prinz Eugen put on her playful smile. "You live on an island of ships that speak and frolic around on their own without a crew or captain to sail them, so... You be the judge~" She sat up in bed. "..May I have your name?"
Albert sat back down on the bed. "I'd like to hold onto it for now."
She scooted behind Albert and hugged him from behind, pressing her chest against his back, and wrapping her bare legs around his waist. "Suit yourself. Maybe you'll feel like finding another way to give it to me someday."
Albert stroked over Prinz Eugen's bare thighs. She did like to leave those uncovered as often as possible. "It's unfortunate that we're trapped, but it's not like I wouldn't mind your company for longer. Are you comfortable?"
She giggled. "Albert is a wonderful space heater. Even though you have to get very close, he's also very warm~"
Albert turned around in Eugen's hug so he could drape his arms around her, and give her a kiss on her nose. "...Snow removal in these conditions can take some time."
Prinz Eugen briefly touched her nose to his, and then smiled. "I knew you'd start thinking of that sort of thing. Don't worry, I'm sure that the commander is also thinking the same thing while keeping his wife warm, or the other way around."
Albert nodded slowly, and he touched his forehead to Eugen's. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Prinz Eugen smiled. "Just what comes natural to you, Leutnant zur See Albert Kesler."
He nodded. "Right now, I'm just Albert."
She mmed. "Being Albert is enough."
He responded by giving her a quick kiss on the lips, then just held her, slowly stroking her long, unbound silver hair. She closed her eyes and gave soft, appreciative noises, resting her head on Albert's shoulder. Charybdis briefly came in to set down breakfast for them, but turned bright red as she saw what was going on. The two, however, ignored her until Hermione gently guided her fellow maid out of the room.
Eugen opened one eye, and smiled. "You'd think they'd get used to seeing this kind of thing."
"Not at this hour." He said. "...I will hold you as long as you require."
Prinz Eugen closed her open eye. "Now, say there was a time I'd say I'd like you to hold me forever. What then?"
He gave a small smile and replied. "The answer remains the same."
Eugen blushed warmly, and remained silent for a little while as Albert held her so close in his arms. "...I'll ask you again, what have I done to deserve being surrounded by people who make me happy?"
He nodded. "My answer is the same. Being Eugen is enough."
She then relaxed, leaning fully against him. Breakfast was still warm- They could stay like this at least bit longer before eating. And after that?
...Snow removal could take a while. And Albert would still be warm.
