    Summary

    “You need me to spell it out for you? Okay. Fine. I hate you. I –” The metal bar digs into his fingers. He squeezes harder. “I should have left you to die. I wish I had, because I will never forgive you. Once we’re back on Earth, I don’t ever want to see you again, if I can help it.”

    The survivors return to Earth, where staying away from Kepler proves harder than Jacobi thought.

    Summary

    At the office, he rations his touches carefully. Jacobi never initiates anything there. He always looks away first when Kepler’s eyes linger on his for too long.
    While in the field, they both know the order of priorities. The job always comes first, any stolen moments for the two of them is a lucky bonus. Several hours unaccounted for, to spend in a hotel room however they see fit, is a luxury.

    Summary

    The doctor’s words echo in Jacobi’s head as he fastens his seatbelt. The engine revs to life, and he casts a sidelong glance at Warren. His eyes are fixed on the road, his jaw set. It’s the white-knuckled death-grip on the wheel that gives him away, though.
    “Hey.”
    “No.”
    “Warren…” Please. I need you.
    “No.”

    They got a life together in the end. It just wasn't long enough.

    Summary

    Kepler is standing in the middle of the hangar bay, keeping his eyes to the floor. Riemann left a couple minutes ago, Young has better things to do, and Jacobi…

    Jacobi is right there.

    Summary

    “Go home, Maxwell. Take an early weekend.” He pauses for a second, then adds, “If you’d like to… see him, you have clearance from me.”
    Maxwell nods, slowly. “Yes, sir.”
    Then she turns and walks out of his office, packs up the computer she just unloaded from her bag, and leaves. Once her footsteps fade away, the only sound left is Kepler’s breathing, slow and perfectly steady.
    It doesn’t hitch as he opens his laptop and pulls up the report template.
