I think Gideon's a bit OOC in this chapter...
This is just a filler until the real action starts to happen
Sorry it's been so long :)


Dax went out of the room to find Gideon leaning on the wall further down the corridor, trying to compose himself. Cautiously Dax approached him.

"Gid, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." he practically whispered. When Gideon turned to face him he was no longer crying.

"What to you expect me to say Dax? Do you want me to say that you're apology is accepted? That we can just be friends again and everything's fine?" His voice was as impassive as his face. Dax frowned when he realised that he had truly made a big mistake, it was unfair of him and Luke to keep it from Gideon. He stepped closer to Gideon.

"Gid..."

"Why did you hit me Dax? It's not like you to be violent, and surely you could tell that I was upset?"

"I... I was trying to prove myself to you" Dax now looked thoroughly ashamed. Gideon frowned.

"What do you mean prove yourself to me?"

"Well... coz you're really protective of Luke and you hate it if anyone's mean about him and you get all defensive so I thought that if you knew that I would protect Luke as well as you that maybe you wouldn't mind so much about us loving each other coz I know it bothers you really" Dax finished babbling and looked Gideon straight in the eyes. The blonde was now looking completely astonished.

"You don't need to prove yourself to me Dax. And it doesn't bother me, what bothered me was you two not telling me."

Choosing to ignore the second part of what his friend said Dax replied

"Then how come I don't feel like I'm good enough for you Gid?"

"You are Dax. To tell you truth I owe you. I mean you went to France alone to rescue Luke even though you knew just what Catherine could do. Heck she could've killed you – well she almost did – but you still went and almost single-handedly saved Luke. Of course you're good enough for me"

Dax looked at Gideon from underneath his eye lashes. "You still have a problem about me and Luke though"

"Yeah, but I guess I'll get over myself eventually"

"Why do you have a problem with it then Gid? Other than the fact that we didn't tell you"

"Coz you two will be all lovey-dovey around each other all the time and I don't think I'll be able to stand it coz it's quite gross and slightly pathetic. I mean seriously Dax you're acting like your brain has turned to mush"

smirking Dax replied "Not my brain, my heart"

Gideon rolled his eyes over dramatically, "Does this mean I have to forgive you now?"

"Yes it does"

"Fine then, I forgive you. But be warned if you and Luke are always all over each other I may have to resort to spending more time with the Tellers, and all five of us would hate that"

Dax snorted, "Nahh, they would enjoy tormenting you and me and Luke would enjoy having alone time so really it's only you who would hate it"

"Speak of the devil" Gideon gestured to behind Dax where Luke had almost silently appeared. Dax jumped when Luke slipped his arms around him.

"Oh come on Dax you probably knew he was coming before I did" Gideon scoffed mercilessly. Dax went red. Luke smiled and planted a kiss on his neck. The noisy twin wrinkled his nose.

"Let's go have breakfast"


I hope this is going to get better...
I'll try to make chapter 5 longer
