Fictober 2022/ Prompt #3: “That was not my intention.”

Author's Note: I've always loved Krieg and Crocker, and I wanted to highlight them in this little fic. (Hitchcock/ Krieg ship forever!)

.........

Lieutenant Benjamin Krieg stood at attention before Captain Nathan Bridger, Chief Crocker, and Commander Jonathan Ford in the Briefing Room.

“You wanna tell me just what the hell you were thinking, Lieutenant?” Bridger shouted. He was mad, madder than Krieg had ever seen him. Ben bit his tongue hard to keep his typical smart-alack remark from escaping. It had truly been an innocent prank – just a little something to lighten the mood. Now Ben worried he might be facing a court marshal, or worse.

“I apologize, sir. My efforts were to lift the crew’s spirits. I didn’t mean,” he paused, wincing at the memory. “I never intended for anything disrespectful to take place. Truly.”

Ford scoffed, crossing his arms and shaking his head. “Commander Hitchcock has gone to bat for you more times than I can count, Lieutenant, and this is how you repay her?”

Ben winced visibly. He’d done a lot of sketchy things in his past, some better than others, but he always thought of Katie as one of his bright spots. He knew he was marrying out of his league, and when he thought back on their whirlwind romance and short-lived marriage all he could see were his failures.

He was surprised it had lasted as long as it had.

“I have,” his voice cracked, and he swallowed hard to regain his composure. “I have nothing but the utmost respect for Ka – for Commander Hitchcock. I know you may not believe me,” he said, catching Ford’s expression, “but it’s the truth.” He looked up, meeting Bridger and Crocker’s gaze. “I would never hurt her.”

Crocker heaved a heavy sigh, shaking his head, and looking down at his shoes. Ford’s opinion of Ben was unfavorable, and well-known. But the Captain…

“I had doubts about keeping a divorced couple aboard when I first arrived, Lieutenant, but the two of you seemed capable of handling it.” He looked pensive, drawing his lips into a tight line. “I’ve had other vessels try to poach Commander Hitchcock, but she’s incredibly valuable to this crew. In light of this deep embarrassment, however,” he paused, and Ben couldn’t stop himself as the words tumbled out of him.

“Sir, please don’t send her away. I’ll do anything. Send me instead, but not her. She is valuable – she’s the most valuable person on this ship. She… she doesn’t deserve to be exiled for a stupid stunt on my part. She was never the target, and if I could go back and change it, I would. Katie deserves the best, and SeaQuest is the best. Please.” Ben had never been one to beg, but he was begging now. He’d always hoped one day they could rekindle what they once had, partially because he knew he had her trust, if not her affection. But after today he knew he’d destroyed that, as well.

Ben felt hot tears prick his eyes, and he hated himself for it. He wasn’t crying for himself; he was crying because he’d had a chance at something beautiful and amazing with someone he held dearer than anybody else on this earth, and he’d done what he did best: screwed it up.

He hated himself for it every damn day.

He knew his superior officers could see him struggling to compose himself, but he couldn’t bring himself to feel ashamed. Every fiber of his being was directing that at what he’d done to his ex-wife. “I…,” he tried, shook his head, and wiped his face. He opened his mouth to start again, but Bridger held his hand up, silencing him.

“That’s enough, Ben.” Bridger sighed, looking at Crocker, shaking his head.

“You still love her,” Ford breathed, a look of wonder on his face at the revelation. “Why the hell would you ever divorce her if you still loved her?”

Ben looked up showing his red eyes and tear-stained face. “It’s what she wanted. She wasn’t happy, and nothing I did was helping, so…,” he gestured helplessly. “If you love someone you want them to be happy. Even if it isn’t with you.” He dropped his gaze, swallowing hard.

Bridger nodded, sinking into a chair. “That’ll be all, Commander. The Chief and I can take it from here.” Ford nodded, shutting the door behind him, and Ben waited for the ax to fall. It was coming – he just knew it.

Instead, Crocker moved across the room, wrapping the younger man in a strong hug, clapping him on the back reassuringly. “It’s all right, son,” he said, even though Ben knew it wasn’t. “We’ll figure it out. It’ll be all right.”

Krieg: Lucas has an insanely strong opinion on everything. Go on. Ask him something no one should have an opinion on.

Crocker: What’s the worst multiple of 3?

Lucas: 12, obviously, idiot.

I’d forgotten this lovely scene! “Is this ‘Crash Krieg’? Skipper lets you pilot the seaQuest once and you backed it into a volcano.” “It was uncharted.” “How about when you rolled the launch?” “‘Cuz of a riptide.” “Stuffed the SeaCrab into the shoreline?” “That was a tsunami.”

Hahahaha I forgot this is the episode with the “perfect orange” scene! The payoff is kinda lame (🙄), but this is a lovely scene upon which I have riffed in fanfic. “The ice cream has a half-life of fourteen hundred years!” 😅
