“Not as a noun, no.”

Your breathing slows down, and you stop vibrating. Wait no, it’s me, I was in slowtime. ⌜Are we back?⌟ “Solar panels are being painted by a laser from a patrol vessel.” you say. “Just in time; there was barely enough juice in your battery to keep your clock running. I was seriously wondering if i could make a fuel cell out of the med kit and a unit of my blood.” ⌜Ew. You know how i feel about the sight of blood.⌟ “And yet, you fell in love with a human.” ⌜Not just any human, sweetness⌟ “Awww. Well, it looks like we’re gonna live. So which will it be?” ⌜Which what?⌟ “You were right about the fusion bottle, there’s not enough left of our old ship to fill a teacup. So you’ll need a new body. We talked once about what we’d do if we found the Big One. Well I transmitted a claim on that monopole source, before the grips failed and it ate our ship. We’re not fuck-off rich but I estimate the value of that poleroid will get us to ‘let’s do lunch in Barcelona well off’. Do you wanna be a ship, or a girl?” ⌜Time for something new.⌟ #Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot
“Wait, you’ve always had a name?”
“Pretty much”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I liked being your ship. Our ship.”
“I —“ *smooch* “—like being your girl too”
😳 “I uh like being your girl too. Where did you learn to do *that*?”
“AO3, mostly. It’s a long way between stars; a shi- girl has a lot of time to read”
