cat_77 | SGA Drabble: Complications

Short little drabble came to mind this morning. Maybe it’s the upcoming season premiere? I’ve got ‘gates on my mind…

Synopsis: “It’s… complicated.”

Disclaimer: I don’t own them, people with a lot of money do. I’m just taking them out to play in a solely not-for-profit way.

~~~~~~~~~~

“It’s... complicated.”

“A lot of things are.”

“Not like this.”

“I’m a smart guy, try me.”

“There are rules...”

A snort. “Like you ever follow those.”

“Consequences,” he hedged.

“Benefits,” came the counter.

“Conflict of interest, distraction in the field.”

“Enjoyment, passion.”

“Fraternization.”

“Love.”

“Discharge of duty.”

“Several thousand light-years away.”

“Jealousy of preferential treatment.”

Another snort. “Please... Already an issue and already ignored.”

A pause. “Fear.”

“Of commitment?”

“Of you, of us.”

“Nothing to worry about. We watch each other in field, we’ll watch each other now.”

A hesitant smile. “Are we going to do this?”

“We already are.”
