typically male way.

-----------------------------

It was movie night. Trip got there late and took a seat in the back
row next to Malcolm. The armory officer had a big container of popcorn
on his lap. After a few minutes of watching the movie, Trip wondered
who had chosen it; that Bond fellow certainly seemed to be getting a
lot of action. A _lot_. Trip squirmed in his seat and looked to see if
Malcolm was affected, too. He stared in near-rapture at the sight of
Malcolm placing pieces of popcorn in his mouth, and slowly licking his
fingers after every bite. If he hadn't been transfixed by the car
chase on the screen, Trip would have thought he was doing it on
purpose.

Malcolm caught him staring. "What’s wrong?"

Trip gulped. "Do you want the socially acceptable answer or the
truth?"

“The truth.”

"I haven’t had sex in a very long time, and you’re really turning me
on."

"Oh." After a few seconds, Malcolm moved the popcorn, revealing the
bulge in his pants. "Well... do you want to do something about it?"

"Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously. My quarters or yours?"

"Mine are closer." Trip stood up and adjusted himself. He added, "And
bring the popcorn."
