I’m fine. Tired, Malcolm signed back, only a little haltingly. He shrugged and dropped his head back down to dig through his hamper again― more carefully. “When’d you get home?” He craned his neck to see if Eric answered.

Malcolm stared down at the line of candles strewn across his bed, scrubbing a hand over his face. What was he thinking — they hadn’t even kept these traditions when he was a kid… It was harebrained and desperate to think now would be a good time to start.

The door chimed behind him and he told it to open without thinking, then turned to see Eric Falk hovering outside his quarters. He grinned, hoping he didn’t look too tired. “Hey…”

 the five she didn’t

[ PADD MSSG | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FALK, ERIC | 2130 ] Would you mind if I brought you more tea? I found a very fascinating blend that I believe you may appreciate. 

[ PADD MSSG | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FALK, ERIC | 0214 ] Do you sleep, or do you have difficulty as well? 

[ PADD MSSG | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FALK, ERIC | 0241 ] You lost someone. Did you not? I wonder if you would ever speak of it, had I the power to ask. 

[ PADD MSSG | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FALK, ERIC | 0431 ] Why would you ever wish to come to Starfleet? Was this a choice you made for yourself? I cannot imagine any

[ PADD MSSG | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FALK, ERIC | 1702 ] Do you ever feel, as well, as if no one on this ship understands you? I suppose it is more difficult for you than it ever will be for me. 

  the one she did

[ PADD MSSG | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FALK, ERIC | 0931 ] I believe you may have scheduled an ensign for drills the same time she is meant to be on duty with me, sir.

"Stop moving!" (Probably signed)

“Stop signing at me so loudly!” Moby fussed and shoved at him when he got so close. He might have been trying to stitch up her arm, it didn’t mean he couldn’t do it from arm’s length. “Your triage is concerning.” He’s doing just fine.

Avril watched Elizabeth go with the wide eyes and dead stillness of a meerkat on guard. She blinked once, twice, then swiveled her head to Eric and Malcolm. “You didn’t mention your family was from a Hallmark cartoon.”

Her brother scowled at her but spoke to his fiance, squeezing his hand. (Not entirely to feel the ring against his palm.) “Think that means she’s fine.” He glanced toward the kitchen before kissing his cheek quickly. “We both are.”

It was definitely strange to be in such a cozy home. But it was also....nice.

Avril bounced across the couch to lean over the armrest, head lolling back. She shot them impish upside-down grins. “Think she’d spike some of that cocoa for us?”

“You’re sixteen, Av.” He rolled his eyes but couldn’t keep the smile off his face.

Malcolm tilted his head to lean onto the hand on his shoulder, sighing and closing his eyes. He took a moment to just appreciate the touch, then quirked a quick soft smile and shook his head. “Ahh— It’s not... They’re not for people....exactly.” He ducked his head, a wave of uncertainty flooding him.

"Did you just throw a sock ball at me?"

Malcolm looked up from the hamper, blinking stupidly at his roommate. How long had Eric even been home? He groaned, scrubbing at his face. “’Throw’ is a strong word… Didn’t see you there.”
