Sai just returned to his and Jeb's quarters after his shift - when Jeb stepped out of the bathroom...
Uh...
And since the Romantium is permeating the atmosphere in the ship, attraction pulled them towards each other.
Like the opposite poles of a (very strong) magnet.
And even though Sai has connection to all the internets and games in the galaxy now, he's still reading a lot of gay romance books. He tasted blood and he wants more.
He really wants to finally - fully - get claimed by Jeb.
And it's time to tell him.
Sai, breathless from kissing Jeb breathless: "Jeb - claim me. Please. Let's finally do it."
But Jeb retreated. Keeping him an armlength away.
Jeb: "Vanië. I can't hurt you. I told you. The... the others told you too."
Sai: "But what does that even mean? We are never going to woohoo? They said it doesn't hurt."
Jeb: "Not them. Vlad isn't that... big..."
Sai: "But Kiyoshi is."
Jeb: "Jack is a werewolf and the Super Soldier. He can take... eh - him. But you..."
Sai: "I will never loose my virginity then?"
Jeb: "There... there is a way. If you'd top me."
Sai: "What are you even saying?! No way! You are the pestle to my mortar! You are supposed to claim me! I'm not that fragile!"
(More in -> this post, under the cut. And -> here)
The Romantium is really giving it's best here, but it seems its labours are lost in space with these two right now. Ever since Sai heard that Jeb does not want to hurt him, he thought that just was some romantic statement - and not some cruicial issues...
Jeb: "Vanië. It's not that I don't want to - I can't. When I wasn't able to rescue - the kids, I was devastated. So broken and ashamed that I hid under that bag for two years. And... and when I heard it was you - you and Jack *Jeb tears up* I swore I'd never let you get hurt again. When I think of - eh 'claiming you', hurting you - he just goes..."
Sai was staring at Jeb. This can't be real.
Well, that definitely blew the poor AC's fuses and it coughed out a last puff of Romantium... There's only so much it can do and Jeb and Sai brought it to its utter limits.
It's physical? Psychosomatic?
Jeb is so traumatized, he really can't claim Sai... isn't physically able to?
Even if he wanted? And Sai can't even tell Jeb how much he hurt him with these words. It would only break him further.
They always say, in space, no one hears you scream...
(I know we have other issues atm, but here you can see how huge Great A'Tuin II is.)
Sai's heart is broken. All hope is gone.
Jeb suggested they could do anything else then, just like before.
But Sai still just stared unbelievingly at him.
Then Jeb cried. And said he was sorry. So, so sorry.
He even said Sai should look for someone else, someone who would make him happy.
But how can he do that? He loves Jeb.
There will never be anyone else than Jeb for Sai.
Dammit. Even Jack got laid - JACK!
And Sai will never know how it is to see the stars.
Like in the books he loves to read.
'The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat'
Rolling in the Deep - Adele
I've always loved this song but just right now I saw the MV for the first time and it's incredible! A piece of art. Totally worth a watch.
Poor Sai, still in shock.
And, as promised, Jack fetching ingredients for the Ambrosia from the fancy fridge in the captain's quarters ^^'
Sai didn't even wanted to ask but any distraction from his misery is welcome right now: "What are you doing here?"
Jack: "Just fetching ingredients for the Ambrosia from the fancy fridge."
Sai: "..."
TMI: While we already know how tall they are, maybe you wondered about their size?
We learned that Jeb has the biggest, followed by Kiyoshi, who's is not that much shorter.
Then, surprisingly (or not, since he's the Super Soldier, after all ^^') Jack.
Then Vlad, Saiwa and Ji Ho.
But even though Ji Ho's is the shortest, they all agree he has the most beautiful of them all. Followed by Sai's :3
