Useless Wish GW Katrina "I wish I was a girl. If I was a girl, maybe Gene would look at me the same way he looks at the women he's dated. The way his eyes light up and seem to devour them. Instead, I get a different one. I won't say it doesn't have love in it, but that's just because he thinks I'm his friend. What brought this up? Well, today Gene was hurt. It's wasn't bad, but it was painful. I could tell just by looking in his eyes. The thing was, he got hurt protecting me. Once again, pirates had attacked, and I had the misfortune to get caught in some crossfire. Stupid, stupid, stupid. So Gene had to protect me rather than himself, and he got caught by a stray. Just a scrape, but he bleed a lot. Once the fight was over, he was fussed over by the girls. Oh, some of it wasn't obvious, but it was fussing, and he loved every minute of it. Of course, I couldn't do anything. If I had fussed over him, he would have got mad. Sometimes that hasn't stopped me yet, but I was so close to breaking down and confessing that I loved him. And I can just see how he would have reacted to that one. That's right. I, Jim Hawking, love Gene Starwind. Not like he would return the feeling. I've seen how he reacts around Fred. Just the though of it weirds him out. I just wish that...." "Jim." I spun around, my hair getting in my eyes. "Um, Gene, I didn't know you were out of Medibay yet.." I find the floor highly interesting. "You recording in your electronic journal?" Duh, as if it wasn't obvious. How can he act so stupid and still be that cute? And I know he's not stupid. "Yah." "It's still recording." "Oops!" I twist to turn off the taping, when there is the sound of rapid movement, and I suddenly found a set of soft lips pressed against mine. They feel so good that I moan, leaning into the kiss for all I'm worth. He pulls back, damn him! Then he whispers, "Gene Starwind loves Jim Hawking." As we lose ourselves in the kiss, I have one last thought. It turns out that wishing I'm a girl is a useless wish. The End I know, lousy. However, this is only my second fic in the OLS fandom, and my first yaoi, so please, go easy.My Favorite Web sites
