"Happy New Year, Malcolm."
I wasn't sure I'd get to say those words to my armoury officer this year.
It's been a rough year for him, for all of us.
And only in dreams would I have said it here, like this,
entangled in one another's legs... lives... love.
So many skirmishes between death and my warrior, my ship's defender.
So much loneliness, each afraid to reach out to the other,
fearing rejection,
fearing the inappropriate.
So much courage, my Malcolm,
to offer all that I could never ask of you:
yourself...
your strength,
your vulnerability.
"I cherish your gift."
