Pairing: Spanners/Ace
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I don't own Red Dwarf, or any of the characters thereof.
Spoilers: Pre-Dimension Jump
Beta: None yet. Let me know if you wanna Beta.
Notes: Written while listening to "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. Spanners and Ace have a talk before Ace leaves.
“I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“I know.”
“I won’t be back, Spanners.”
“I know.”
“Are you going to say anything else?”
“What should I say, Ace?”
“You said you could make me stay.”
“Do ya want to stay?”
“I…” A pause. “I have a job to do. Spanners, you know this.”
“…I know.”
“I…”
“Don’t.”
“Don’t, what?”
“Don’t say you’ll miss me, don’t say ya love me. It’ll make me want to force ya to stay.”
“Why don’t you?”
“’Cause ya have a job to do.”
“You’re more important than the job, Spanners.”
“No, I’m not. I can’t ask ya to stay.”
“So, is this it?”
“What do ya mean?”
“Is this how we’re spending my last night?”
“…”
“Spanners.” The bed creaked. Finger-tips brushed against skin.
“Ace…I can’t.”
Lips. Hands. Silence.
“I’m not leaving on bad terms, Spanners.”
“…Now I’m tempted to stay mad at ya.”
Laughter.
“Everything you don’t want me to say, you know it’s true.”
“…I know.”

This is how you reduce your mod to a puddle of bibbling in just a few words, in case anyone was wondering. This was just beautiful.
