Summary: He'll only say what she already knows.
He runs his left hand down her arm, slowly, his mouth latched on to her collarbone. She only feels his hand, the trail it takes.
She has his clothes off before she can get her own tanks off. He's on top of her in her bunk with the curtain closed, even though no one is due to come in for another hour.
They roll over, so that she's on top, but neither of them really notice. She wants to say something, anything, everything, but she doesn't know what to say that he'll let her take back later. He'll only say what she already knows.
He keeps silent because he doesn't want to give her the satisfaction of knowing that it's only her that he lets on top. She can't let him know that it's never been like this, frak, it'll never be like this.
She can't stay near him afterwards because she'll only want to say something, and she can't say it. Not that. But she knows she will when he looks at her, those blue eyes begging, pleading, maybe empty. He wants her to look at him though, if only to see her face. To see her face before it shows the regret that will be there later.
They put their clothes on slowly, facing away from each other. She moves to leave first because she flies in ten minutes. She looks back, and loses control of her motor skills.
"I love you, Lee."
He looks at her, nods his head. They know he won't say it back. He said it first after all. Still, she leaves the room as Kara when she had come into the room as Starbuck.
