Summary: Answer to the Kisses Sweeter Than Wine Challenge. Something a little silly

"Look, Face, all you have to do is go in there and romance her a little. What's the problem? It's not like you haven't done it
before," Hannibal said in his most patient tone.

"Why me? If all you want is a body, why don't you throw Murdock in there?" Face's voice rose until his normally light
voice almost cracked.

Murdock's words interrupted the standoff. "Colonel, I think I know what the problem is."

"Well?" Hannibal was clearly impatient.

"I think the Faceman's lost his touch."

"Really?" and "Are you CRAZY? Any day of the week..." sounded together.

"Yes and.....yes!"

"Hmmm. You could be onto something here, Captain."

To the Team's delight, Face had turned a delightful pink color.

"That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard!"

"Really? Then prove it!" Hannibal challenged his Lieutenant.

Face set his jaw, thinking furiously.

"Fine!" he snarled. Taking a long step forward, he closed on Hannibal, wrapping his arms around the Colonel's neck.
Before Hannibal could move, Face's lips were locked on his CO's.

When the slight blond moved back, Hannibal unconsiously touched his lips with his fingers.

"Point taken, Lieutenant. In spades. Murdock, you go in. We have something to discuss."
