Drabble Set Seven
Danny:
Yes, I know he's trained for this, okay? That's the problem. Not that he's trained. That I'm not. I had to let him go onto that ship today without me. I wasn't there to watch his back. He didn't seem to care. He was so gung-ho to go, stripping off his shirt, packing up his gear. From my trunk. Off he went, and all I had was his whispers. I needed reassurance that he was still alive. When I asked him if he missed me, it was me telling him not to die because I wasn't where I should've been.
Steve:
I didn't realize how much I'd come to rely on him always being there until suddenly he wasn't. Even if all he's doing is glaring or yelling at me, the fact is that he's there. He's quick to his gun and quicker to move. You know, back when I told him he was the back-up, it was just me not wanting to wait. Now, when I think about those words, I realize it's true. I'd gotten used to going it alone when I had to. Thing is, these days I don't usually have to anymore. So, yeah. I missed him.
