Kerberos flinched backwards, guiltily wincing away from Fangite's torrent of angry words. It...maybe wasn't fair, for him to be so excited about something that would mean uprooting Fangite's entire life, but...God, he desperately wanted the man he loved bakc at his side.

Even though it was his own fault they were separated in the first place.

He took a breath.

"Let me distract you, then," he said. "We can't sleep, but there are a million other things we can do. Let me...let me show you my planet. And then we can find somewhere nice and quiet, and stay here for as long as we can."

He smiled, a little sadly. "I love you, too."
