Summary: Two rivals meet in the corridor
Author's Notes: Unbeta'ed. Be afraid

***
Of all aboard, he is beginning to believe she is the one who cares for him the most. She goes out of her way to spend time with him, he is sure of it, and her hair always smells so lovely.
He returns her affection naturally and easily, content to let her behaviour guide their interaction. He looks forward to seeing her each day and makes the most of their short time together.
At night, though his own bed is comfortable, he can't help wishing he was in her quarters.
But now there was another - someone else upon whom she sometimes bestowed her warm smile, and a knot of jealousy had formed in his stomach.
***
He has a competitor; he had known this when he had begun to pursue her. Nevertheless, he has decided to plough ahead, hoping now and then to be the recipient of a smile or to make her laugh.
She is the brightest star in his galaxy and when they pass in the corridor, he can sometimes catch the lingering scent of her hair.
Alone in his bed at night, he wishes with all his lonely heart that she will return his affection.
One day he sees her coming towards him in the hall and his heart leaps, but subsides when he sees his opponent with her.
They stop to exchange greetings.
"Hoshi," he says amiably before turning to nod in terse greeting to his rival.
***
Porthos stares at Malcolm balefully, but politely refrains from growling.
