Ephram,

You said there were certain things you couldn't say to me in a semi-public place. This message is private and encrypted. Can you tell me now, or are you still too big a pussy?

Commander Riley, ISS Enterprise

Private to Leonard McCoy

Bones? Are you there?

Riley,

A Commander now? Moving quickly up in the world, aren't we.

Ephram

Ephram,

Yes. First officer, as well. I love how you avoided the question.

Commander Riley

Riley,

Merely making polite conversation.

Kevin, I...am afraid for you. At home, people knew not to harass you, but out on that starship...

Kevin, I want you home. It isn't home with you gone.

Ephram

Ephram,

People here know not to harass me, too. I made sure of that the first time someone did harass me.

Ephram...I'm the first officer of Starfleet's flagship, and well on my way to becoming Captain. Do you think I'd give that up to go be your trophy boy?

Riley

Riley,

Trophy boy? Twenty years, and you think all you are is a trophy boy?

Ephram

Ephram,

What else would I be?

Riley

[erastes_owner]

Riley,

My favorite. The only one who deserves and gets certain things from me.

Ephram

[iss_eyeliner]

Ephram,

And that's different from a trophy boy...how?

Kevin

[erastes_owner]

Riley,

You...you are my weakness.

Ephram

Ephram,

Ephram...oh, shit. Fuck. I can't breathe. I think I'm having a panic attack.

Kevin

Kevin,

This is why you should be here, not panicking light years away.

Ephram

Ephram,

Please don't do this now. I'm scared. Just keep messaging me.

I think I'm dying.

Kevin

[erastes_owner]

Kevin,

What...you...goddamnit.

I want to hold you.

Ephram

[iss_eyeliner]

Ephram,

Okay, I'm imagining you holding me right now and it's calming me down a little. I want you here with me now oh fuck I'm scared. Okay, just keep messaging me. It'll help.

Kevin

[erastes_owner]

Kevin,

Dammit, calm yourself! I can't be there to do it. If I was holding you, I would not let go. I would touch your hair.

Ephram

[iss_eyeliner]

Ephram,

Having your arms around me would make me feel safe even if I was scared. I'd rest against you and lean into your touch.

Okay, I think I'm breathing normally now but my heartrate's still up and my lips and fingers feel kind of tingly. I think I'll be okay though it's just scary.

Kevin
