Summary: After the Solidarity's built, Don gets abruptly pulled to be part of the crew as per his work contract. There are seven trips back and forth, nearly seven years of his life down the drain, and it's only during the last one that he realizes he's fallen in love with Judy Robinson.

He lays awake in the retreating darkness chasing thoughts threatening to race from his mind. Wants to go back to sleep. Needs more sleep than one person could hope to recoup in a lifetime.

He wishes she were there.

Tugging the covers over his head and burrowing his face further into the pillow he imagines her with him. He wraps his arm around himself, pretending the warm flesh is hers, pressing her body closer and slows his breath. His muscles constrict and he gives a responding stretch, extending before relaxing again, thinking what it would be like with her there.

Would she be fighting sleep too, turning in his hold under the heat of the blankets to face him, snuggle into him? Or would she be heavily asleep, responding to his touch with dreamy coos? Would she smile as her lips met his, telling him, "five more minutes, I don't want to get up-"

It's something he doesn't know. Can't know.

Not yet anyway.

Judy would tear up at their wedding but Don would actually cry seeing her come down the aisle.

GUYS

[badass-princesses]

Just thinking about how every time when Judy asks Don to do something he doesn’t want to do, all she has to do is look at him, and he’ll do it.

Flipping a tanker for her even though he loses a very comfortable retirement? Done.

Launch himself towards certain death in a thermos? One look from her and he was suited up.

Stop a literal spaceship from taking off because Judy had (legitimate) suspicions about the water? He dropped his lunch and took off running.

Unnecessary analysis under the cut

Not only is he in love with Judy, but he is devoted to her. As we’ve seen with his interactions with all of the Robinsons, his love language is acts of kindness. Helping out the Robinson parents, cheering up Will, saving Penny’s life- they all add up to his way of expressing love for this family.

But Don and Judy’s actions have a deeper undercurrent. Don admired Judy from the start- he respected her brilliance, bravery and selflessness. Judy didn’t trust him, but she did believe in him, and that made Don want to be a less selfish person in season 1. Don craved Judy’s approval, though he didn’t admit it. He wanted to be the good person who she insisted that he was.

I think the craziest part is that Judy doesn’t even know the full extent of the effect she has on Don. She says jump, he says “how high?” And then he complains the whole time. But she wasn’t there for the conversation Don and John had when they were clinging to the scrap of metal, floating around in space. She doesn’t know how much he admires her and her family.

I would pay so much money to see their interactions between S1 and S2, because they definitely lost the easy camaraderie they had, and I wonder if something happened on that planet that affected their relationship. Hell, despite their stilted interactions in S2, he still did whatever she asked him to do. This suggests that no matter what happened, or didn’t happen, Don still maintains that respect for Judy, and a desire for her approval.
