"Pop Goes..."
[Andromeda. Beka/Trance. PG-ish. Missing scene from "The Pearls That Were His Eyes". 325-ish words. Bubble bath.]
"Mmm, I like the way the bubbles feel on my skin. Don't you, Beka? Why doesn't the Andromeda have bubble bath?" Trance balanced a soap bubble on her palm, then ever so gently pursed her lips and blew it towards Beka, sitting opposite her, her hands starting to wrinkle from the hot water.
"I'm just glad to get clean. This place makes me feel dirty."
Trance's eyes were wide. "But it's so pretty! And big, and clean, and I bet they clean it every day, like the androids clean Rommie! How can it be dirty?"
"Dirty on the inside, Trance," said Beka with a sigh. "It's probably a good thing you don't understand."
Trance handed her the sweet-smelling bodywash that she'd been using. "Here. So you can smell pretty again."
Beka smiled at her, and slid her hand down to lather her legs. But that wasn't her leg she was touching with her wrinkled hand. All her muscles tightened.
"Ohh, that feels good, Beka. Why did you stop?"
Beka snatched her hand away and started to vigorously shampoo her hair.
"Beka, your hair isn't dirty." Beka shuddered. "And neither are you. Not on this inside, not on the outside. Why won't you believe me?"
Because you are like a child, Trance. A wonderful, intelligent, wise beyond her years child who is far more important to me than any crewmate ever has been. Because you are my lucky charm, my bright-eyed lucky charm. Because your skin is so soft and your hair so bright and your eyes... your eyes...
Trance's eyes were brighter than slipstream in clear space, and darker than (darker than things Beka didn't want to remember) and Beka's hand slipped back to Trance's smooth skin.
"See, Beka? It's all okay. It's all okay, because we'll make it all okay."
Beka's face softened into a smile, and Trance's hand covered hers, and when a rainbow-streaked bubble popped somewhere between them, both women laughed.

The loliness of it was starting to squick me, hence it started to squick Beka too. And then Trance made it all better. :D
