    Summary

    Caleb is back.

    He's sitting next to you. He doesn't say a word though you know your eyes must be searing a hole through his skull. You haven't been able to stop looking at him since he reappeared in your apartment one day, signaling his presence with nothing more than his big pair of boots next to your shoe rack and the pervasive scent of his cologne in the air, strong and cloying.

    Caleb is back and he's wrong. Did Deepspace change him, or did something else?

    Summary

    That sickness. It churned relentlessly in his gut. He flicked, flicked, flicked through the cameras, metal fingertip tapping against the monitor to capture you at every angle. He couldn't bring himself to admit how many times he had zoomed in and brought his hand to the screen in a pathetic gesture just to imagine he could feel the warmth of your cheek against his palm. His reason for life, granted to him by you, stunted and stalled by...well. By his death.

    He's back, now. He'd endured countless horrors and torn open the gates of hell to claw his way back to you. At last, he could return to his purpose. To kneel at your feet and present his neck to your boot. Nod his head yes and bow to your every order. Be right where he belongs. But...

    In his absence, you've started taking care of yourself. Poorly. Very poorly. And you're so fucking stubborn, refuting his help. It makes his jaw hurt with how hard he clenches his teeth.

    This night, though, this blessed, perfect night, you finally let him back in. You finally let him further. It's more than anything he could have ever dreamed. He should know better by now, but you make him so hopeless he can’t help himself. He knows good things for him never last.
