Summary: Malcolm thinks about loving Trip.

Archived to Reed's Armory on 04/24/2004.

Trip, my love.. He is the only one I think of, the only one I need. I can only show my love for him in passing and give him knowing glances when we are together with others from the ship. I wish I could show him with my body, soul and mind just how much I love him and what he means to me.

Ever since I bared my soul to him in the Shuttle Pod, I have felt a closeness to him. It's funny really, I knew how I felt about him even before that, but after hearing him yell at me and call me the bloody Angel Of Death, and after when we were sharing the bourbon...I almost told him how I felt. I'm sure he has an idea of how I feel, but I don't want to chance telling him and losing our friendship. He is the blood in my veins and the oxygen I breathe.

Damn these Starfleet protocols. I can't risk my rank. Not only that, my father would ever accept me with a man. He would almost surly disown me. Then again I hardly ever talk to him. So many people expect so much from me and I'm my own public enemy #1! One day, Trip and I will be together, I just hope we will both be young enough to enjoy it.
