Just a little something from Harper's POV
As always I own nothing except…nothing.
Bold are thoughts
Who Does He Think He Is
Why is he so hard to believe? The damn nietszchean thinks he can come in here and pretend to forget everything and get Beka to fall all over him like a love sick pup. Dimmit he's right to. Harper stared at the screen he'd rigged up. Rhade and Beka were on the flight deck talking; mainly Beka was grilling him about his job. Dylan would be down in a few minutes and take them back to the Andromeda. At least there he wouldn't have to watch Beka hanging all over Rhade. Damn nietszchean, why did he have to join us anyway? And why the hell can't he leave Beka alone? He's just like all the other Tyr. He doesn't even want her as a person. He only wants her as a way to pass on his genes then he'll leave like all the others. Damn him.
"Do you have a minute Harper?" Rhade broke in.
Damn netichzean, why can't you just leave? Beka's had enough without you coming along. "Why do you care?"
"Because you seem a little pissed at me for some reason." Damn right. "And I would like to know why."
"Why do you care? You're nietszchean why the hell do you care." Harper blew up fight to keep his voice low so that Beka wouldn't hear. Damn him, why can't he at least get pissed?
"Do you have a problem with me liking Beka?"
"Why the hell would I care?" Of course you bastard.
"Harper, I'm not Tyr. If anything happens between us it will not be just because I want to pass on my genes."
Bull crap. "Yeah right, then why are you asking me this?"
"Because you care about what happens to her and if you have a problem I'll stay away from her."
"Swear on your matriarch."
"I swear on the Matriarch Harper, and if I ever do hurt her I expect you to kill me." Rhade said his voice even.
Almost as if he means it. "If you ever hurt her in any way."
"Harper, I will never betray Beka or you, or anyone on the crew of the Andromeda."
Harper felt relief wash over him. "All right," he turned back to the screen. He's never lied before. "Dylan's here."
They watched as the slipfighter landed and Dylan got out talking got the people. After a few minutes the leader called everyone away as Dylan got back into the slipfighter.
"Maru come." They heard Dylan say.
"Maru here." Beka said.
"Everything's ready for you to come back."
"One our way, Maru out." Beka appeared in the doorway. "Ready to go home boys?"
"Yeah," Harper said, "just don't go crazy on us."
Okay it's a short chapter but I thought you might want to know why Harper's pissed. Review and tell me if I should keep going.
