This may or may not be the last chapter. It depends on how much people like it and how much people beg for more.
Sven had mostly healed, and he was out of the medbay. He was excused from most of his duties, though. Probably because they just wanted to see how he was doing. But now, he just spent time with me in the communications room since he said he had nothing better to do. I looked up outside again. The view again... still amazing as always. I sighed. "Whats wrong, Burt?" Sven asked me. I looked over at him. "You can tell me!"
"Nothing." I answered. "Oh, okay." Sven replied. "I don't believe you." He then almost sounded like he was taunting me. "I said I'm fine." I grumbled a retort.
"Reaaaaallly?"
"Sven, what did I tell you?" I was getting angrier and Sven was seeming more accomplished. "It's funny when you're angry." Sven told me. I let out an angry sigh.
"Whatever you say."
I tried to keep my cool. It was easier to do around Sven rather than other people. Gosh, what was so special about Sven? I don't know, but he was special for sure. I sighed again. "You sigh so much that I think it's how you breath at this poi-"
"SVEN!" I snapped without thinking. Sven flinched, a little startled. I covered my mouth with my hands. Oh lord, what did I just do?
"Sven, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you-" I began.
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to make you so mad." Sven responded with. I looked at him before hearing the door open.
"What's going on? Is Sven being an ass again?" It was Ellie.
"Haha, nope. All good." I said sheepishly. "Okie-dokie then." Ellie left the room, the door shutting behind her. I looked back at Sven. "Well, what now?" I asked, skimming through my computer to check for communication signals. "I dunno." Sven gave an answer. We looked at the view of earth from outside the window. The reflection of earth gleamed in Sven's eyes as I looked back at him. I want that. Was my immediate thought. Wait... what the hell. Was my thought instantly afterwards. That made be realize how much I really love Sven. "The views still amazing.." Sven's tone sounded mesmerized.
"Sven, can I tell you something?" I worked up the courage to say. "Yeah, whats on your mind?" Sven looked back at me. "Hear me out, you're special to me, and that will never change." I started. "Burt, thats really touching..." Sven commented. "You're the only person who lights up my boring life, and without you, I.. I don't know what I'd do." I continued. "What I'm trying to say is..." I got really anxious. Oh boy. "I love you." I tried not to sound too quiet, because there was a chance Sven didn't hear what I had said. "You... you do?" Sven asked. I nodded. "You could've told me ages ago, Burt! I've loved you too!"
Really? He does? I wasn't expecting that! I was still avoiding his gaze, though. I felt him put his hands on my cheeks and turn my face to his. "You don't need to be ashamed about it." Sven told me. I looked at him hopefully. I felt myself cracking a smile. I blinked a few times before Sven pulled himself closer to me and kissed me. I was shocked at first, but I accepted it. Was this really it? Was my dream I've had for years finally coming true? It was, me and Sven were dating.
"Yes! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" I heard a feminine voice. It was Ellie, of course. Sven and I quickly released eachother. "Hey! Leave us alone!" Sven called to her. "Caught you." Ellie mocked. "Oh my god, can't you mind your business for two minutes!?" I was ticked off at Ellie. "Maaayyybe. I've seen enough. Guess I'll leave you two be now." She snickered, leaving the room. "Sometimes I can't stand her." I told Sven. "Me neither." He answered. We looked back at the view of earth and some of the rest of space. "Space is huge and pretty." Sven told me. "I know. But space isn't big enough for my love to you." I told Sven. He smiled at me, and we each looked back at the view.
