~~~~~~~~~~
“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.”
