    Summary

    “Purp’s, heh.. Hey…” Red chirps, making direct eye contact. Which was strange, for Red, who usually adverted their eyes away from Purple. Purple never really knew why Red did that.

    Purple turns their head back to look at the crowd of people again, but they adjust and wrap an arm around Red’s back. “Hey, Red.” Purple spoke softly.

    Red shuffles to get more comfortable against Purple. “Heey… Heh, Purp’s, you’re really.. You’re… Mmm…” Red searches for the words, their gaze flicking back and forth on the side profile of Purple. “You’re a good security person, ya’know…” Red rolls onto their side, moving to get up-close and personal with Purple. “Really good.”

    Purple cocks their eyebrow and uses two fingers to push Red’s face back. “Thank you, Red.” Red whines, but lets Purple’s gentle touch guide their face back. “You’re a good captain.” Purple doesn’t truly think Red is a good captain, in fact, Red is quite a shitty captain, but Purple wouldn’t want to break Red’s fragile—currently drunk—heart.

    AKA: Red is stupidly drunk, and just as stupidly bold.

    Summary

    "Like what?" asks Red, unable to suppress the apparent obvious smile in their voice. Obvious, because Red is so painfully obvious. Purple thinks about punching them in the face with the fervor of a raging boar.

    "This is exactly what I was talking about," groans Purple, throwing their hands above their head and letting them rest there. "You're shameless, you're frustrating, you never listen to me—I can't believe I used to have a crush on you."

    Purple spits out this information like it tastes impossible and disgusting, and Red is more than happy to be the one the contempt lands on.

    They turn to Purple abruptly, starstruck and enthralled and bursting with a crawling warmth in the chest area—"You what?!"

    Summary

    "This is a bad idea."

    "And yet! You're here." A pause. "With me," Red adds on. It's an unnecessary clarification.

    Red manages to catch Purple's gaze with an inviting lift to their brow. It's teasing, and silly, and—Purple decides hesitantly but objectively—charming.

    Summary

    Red shoots up with sudden clarity—then, horror. Of the abject sort, most definitely. "Purple, what ar—what are you doing?!"

    "Shut up," Purple hisses, and shoves them back down to garbage covered floor—Red bangs harshly against the metal and cries out in pain. "Shut up, you idiot," Purple continues furiously, their voice wavering unintentionally at the end (it's an embarrassing sliver of emotion that reveals more than they'd like to share with Red), but still—they have never been more sure of what they needed to do right now than they've ever been in their life.

    And this—this was life or death. If Purple couldn't stop the imposter, why would they deserve to live any more than the crewmates whose lives were taken? And if there were imposters still out there, or the mission fails because of the ships lack of maintenance, and the whole crew was generally just doomed?

    Well. If they were losing the whole crew, MIRA might as well lose the whole damn ship—and Purple couldn't think of a greater reward than being the one to take out the Captain.

    or: In the vast chill of space, Purple and Red die together.
