TITLE: Night Watch
AUTHOR: Brit
STATUS:
RATING: R
PAIRING: Harper/Tyr
SUMMARY: Chapter 5 Running Scared
SPOILERS: None that I know of.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Andromeda or any of her characters mentioned in this story. If I did own these two guys I would have a permanent very big grin on my face.
Why did he have to say that to me, why did he mention rape, what does he know? Why kiss me, he is mocking me. His kiss was the final humiliation, and I responded to it. I feel betrayed by him and yet I still love him, still yearn for him. Well Seamus Z you may be a genius but you are also freakin stupid.
I lie on my bed and cry, I cry as I never did for my parents or my cousins, I cry for the end of a way of life, I cry because now I can't stay here with these people that I have come to look on as my friends, my family.
Dylan mentioned that we would be docking at a drift pretty soon, a routine replenishment of supplies. I've made my plans, a list of parts needed, a request that I be the one to go and find them. I'll take the money and run, find myself a job, that won't be hard, there are always jobs for engineers, 'specially those who aren't too choosy about who they work for. I could be away back in space in a matter of hours.
Have data port will travel, for hire one genius engineer, several owners not all of them careful. I can fix things you don't even know are broken yet. On the down side I've got a rubbish immune system but hey you should get a couple of years work out of me before it packs in.
I try to act normally in the days before we dock, I can't avoid him of course but I think I do a fairly good job of appearing to be indifferent to him. He watches me closely to see if I will tell anyone what he did. A couple of times he looks as if he's going to speak to me. I make extra sure that I am never alone with him.
I'm not sure if the others have noticed anything, Trance has asked me a couple of times if I'm feeling ill, I reassure her that I'm fine and she looks at me with a compassion that I'm not worthy of.
Rommie must know, I'm pretty certain she won't say anything, we still go through our little routine, me trying to get in her pants, her knocking me back, it's all an act though, a show put on to deceive.
Beka continues to give me those shrewd looks of hers, sometimes I think she is going to say something but she hasn't yet, well with any luck I'll soon be long gone.
I think Rev suspects something too; funny he is the one that I feel most guilty about deceiving. The being on board that I should hate the most, is one of the ones that I'll miss the most.
As for Dylan, well he's a good guy but hey lets face it, he's High Guard, nearly as self-interested as an uber. He cares about the Commonwealth and Andromeda, not necessarily in that order. I'm the person who keeps his ship sweet and that is the only reason he will miss me when I leave.
Not long now until we reach our destination, I can't remember the last time I slept for more than a couple of hours, I'll be so glad when all this is over.
