Pairing: Male Ryder/Reyes Vidal Word count: 4466 Summary:

You're doing your best, sweetheart.

Jean recovers after almost dying on Meridian. Reyes helps, but he doesn't heal.

The road to recovery is a long road, but the light at the end is always bright. It invites them to keep going.

Excerpt:

You’re doing your best, sweetheart .

Jean sees the note next to a pot of black tea, lukewarm as Reyes brewed it earlier before he left for work. The note is from him; Jean recognizes his writing easily. He smiles. A warmth blooms from his chest.

He sends Reyes an email.

To: Reyes Vidal

From: Jean Ryder

Sweetheart, really?

-Jean

He receives a message right away, and his heart thumps with excitement when he clicks Reyes’ name.

To: Jean Ryder

From: Reyes Vidal

Good morning, sweetheart.

See you tonight. ;)

-R

Jean hasn’t felt this, this...shit what was it, kilig since he was a damn teenager. Like a love struck boy about to have his first kiss, he saves it along with a photo of the note. He needs it when the days turn bad, and he feels the Archon’s breath on his neck, and he is back in Meridian, 2820 not in Kadara Port, 2821, a year and three months later.

Gabriela’s voice rings hollow in his ear, and SAM’s too and he’s bleeding. Fuck , he’s bleeding...

Jean takes the pot of black tea, and sits on the balcony. Govorkam is as warm as the brown of his skin. He needs it, not the cold darkness of Meridian Control.. He reads Reyes’ note over and over again until the words are etched in his mind.

You’re doing your best.

He calls the specialist.
