"No!" Dan says, laughing, secretly a little relieved to be getting away from a lecture on evolution. It's the sort of conversation where Dan will need to ask clarifying question after clarifying question, and each question will make it more clear he doesn't have the faintest idea what he's talking about, which is a bad combination when he's already decided that he isn't open to changing his mind about something.
He nuzzles the tip of his nose into that sensitive spot on Bunny's neck that he's become so skilled at exploiting. "I'm trying to make you fifteen minutes late."
***
It's another two weeks before they get to see each other for any quality time, and as ships in the night between missions that take Bunny to Kilimanjaro and Antarctica and Dan to Haiti and Bolivia they mostly just get some quick kisses in while swapping out their gear. Dan doesn't even get the chance to do the ritual of combing out all the parts on Bunny's fur that are a little hard to reach, which is the best way for both of them to decompress after a mission.
But then they get sent on a mission together, a milk run to rural Louisiana to trap a gator that got its snout into some dangerous magic and started spitting fire all over a trailer park, and they do a brilliant job. It's enough that Dan's able to keep that he's fairly sure Bunny wants to talk to him about something from ruining his good mood. He opens the door to their room here at the Pole and pulls Bunny in with him, closing it behind them before he goes for his also-ritual post-mission shot from the makeshift mini-bar and then flopping onto the bed, snuggling up with a pillow and the comb for Bunny's fur and making come-hither eyes.
"We done good today. Saved a lot of folks. Saved their homes, even."
