it was the first time he really showed interest in me, ironically.
i inadvertently bled all over his face, but somehow it brought us closer.
we were laying around together, talking, and i got up, and it splashed onto his eye.
i plopped back down on the bed, he put his arms around me, and we got quite a laugh out of it.
that's how it all started.
i thought it was an unusual way to bond, but i was glad it happened.
i was just visiting, he had been living there, in this space station, for quite a while, so i was apprehensive about getting attached. but he said he had been there long enough, he was getting sick of it.
he said he wanted to come back to earth with me.
