Work Text:
It's part of my body, but I consider it our special place. Your comm is and always will be tucked safely inside my chest pocket, just under where my heart would be if I were human. Even when you’re out of range, it connects us. When I see humans put their hands over their hearts to swear an oath, I know that if I were swearing an oath, I would put my hand over where your comm resides inside me.

It’s part of my body, but I consider it our special place. I house many people, some of them temporary, some of them full-time residents, like you are now. Even when you aren’t onboard, your cabin is always your cabin. You would tease me for being sentimental, but sometimes when you’re gone, I leave a drone in your room so the space doesn’t feel so empty while I’m missing you.
