Well folks, here we are with part two! Questions are many. What's eating Kryten? Will the new dry goods be alphabetized? Is Lister really allergic to beets? And just why are things so tense between the boys? *glances at rating* Ahem. Well. You can probably guess why. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did writing it!

"I suppose not having sex with a dead man is not exactly the pinnacle of restraint," he had to confess.

Rimmer was confused. Standards? Lister had never shown interest in promotion. "What, because I'm your superior officer? That doesn't get you up the ranks anymore, squire."

Anger swelled in Lister. God, he hated the irresistible goit! "NO! Rimmer, I don't care about smegging officerhood; I don't care about swimming certificates; I don't care about any of that! I care about what I see inside you; inside, like! Beyond the gittishness, beyond the snark!" He leaned in closer, breathing heavily. I love that kind of conflict and resolution, one of Lister's finest qualities. - And squire, mmm, - I've always found that form of address incredibly compelling for some reason.

"Oh..." he said, lamely. "I..." He searched for a reasonable explanation, quickly realizing that, in this instance, there was no such thing. He settled for a smile, striking what he hoped was a macho, yet suitably sexy pose. - laugh out loud, definitely.

Summoning all his willpower, Lister decided to give it one final try. It was just so ingrained in him - you asked. You always asked. Especially with someone like Rimmer, with his unprecedented lack of not just knowledge, but basic understanding of the philosophy (for lack of a better word) of sex. - Something about the way that's phrased is just lovely. :)

Rimmer gulped. Of course, Lister could not make an offer like that without Rimmer thinking of chucking him into the android cleaning dip, clothes and all. Oh, but afterwards... - Hee! That's perfect!

It was definitely enjoyable to read: hot, spicy, and sweet sometimes too. You win! :)

Rimmer's snark really dances the edge between horribly annoying and very sexy, doesn't it?

Oh, the mental image of Lister's antics when nude in the shower just killed me! Pure kahvi goodness.

Awwwww, thanks! :D

Thank you! :D

I just love the way Rimmer's mind just automatically jumps to the idea of Lister wanting to sleep his way to a promotion. Jebus; how desperate would you have to be to sleep your way to becoming a second tech?

I looove Rimmer's final thoughts. Sooo evocative. *enjoys mental images*

Hurrah!
