“Regrets, Malcolm?”
Sitting on the edge of the rumpled bed, I wrap him in my arms, drawing his head to my shoulder. It’s almost an echo of the hours spent in the holding cell yesterday, awaiting execution.
Except this is my bed, my quarters on Enterprise. He came here when he couldn’t sleep, finding me sleepless as well.
“Only regret that it’s my fault that you nearly died there, Jonathan… not for anything we said… or did.”
I’ve only heard him use my name once before - in that cell a moment before he kissed me.
I’ll never tire of it.
