    Summary

    Chenford AU

    Lucy thought she knew what forever was supposed to look like — until the night she’s asked to choose it.

    This is a story about almosts. About the wrong timing, the right person, and the things you don’t call cheating until it’s too late.

    ———

    “That’s all this is. Everything feels heavier after a few too many.

     

    Lucy has always laughed when Tim got too close. Always shoved him off with an eye roll, called him dramatic, told him to knock it off. He’d sling an arm around her shoulders, pick her up without warning, invade her space just to hear her protest. It had always been easy. Predictable. Automatic. The two of them orbiting each other without ever thinking about it.”

    Summary

    Dr. Chen puts her hand up, stopping his rebuttal. “I just wanted to reiterate to you that I am more than qualified to be on this mission, and I will not let some jerk with an ego ruin this for me.”

    Tim stares at her in shock, unsure of how to respond to this outburst.

    Her eyebrow raises, “What? Nothing else you’d like to share about your insistence that I shouldn’t be here?”

    Tim takes a breath, slightly shaking out the growing tension in his shoulders. “I believe that you believe you deserve to be here. But understand that if one person in that shuttle doesn’t know exactly what to do in a crisis, we all die.”

    Dr. Chen’s lips purse, waiting for him to continue.

    “So my apologies if it’s upsetting to you that I don’t trust that someone who hasn’t had the same level of training is joining our crew. Have a nice night, Dr. Chen.”
