Title: Voices
Rating: PG
Prompt: #14 - First Sentence - "His feet were already numb. He should have listened."
Pairing: Tucker, Reed friendship; Archer/Reed pre-slash implied
Word Count: 100
Timeline: Season 1 - "Shuttlepod One"
Summary: Seeking one last comfort.

His feet were already numb. He should have listened. His father's voice echoed - '...should have joined the Royal Navy as you were meant to do, Malcolm. None of this Starfleet nonsense.'
"NO!" Malcolm hadn't realized he'd shouted aloud until he felt Trip shaking him, trying to wake him.
“Remind me to thank you if we somehow survive this, Mister Tucker… My father’s voice isn’t the last I want to hear before I die. I was about to tell him to get the hell out of my head.”
His feet were still numb. But maybe he'd hear Jonathan's voice this time.
