The Galileo is a sight to behold. It feels strange to stand here, on the deck, to feel the newness of this ship. I try not to get too eager, or too upbeat about it. I don’t need help with that. After seeing Verity again, after once again holding him in my arms…it feels as if my feet will never touch the ground again.

We were apart for a long time. While for me, life sort of…was alright, Verity has not had an easy time. I wish he had told me how bad he was. But he didn’t. And that is okay, it was his choice in the end. But now I am here and I want to take care of him. I want to make sure that he is alright. He never takes good care of himself, too selfless to even consider it. And selfishly, I like to be able to provide something for him. Emotional support. An arm to hold onto. A meal. Anything.

I would do anything for him.

So even standing on this beautiful ship, my thoughts go to him. To the man I love, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Who I want to grow old with. Is it strange? To feel so much for one person, to miss them when they are not around? I honestly don’t know. I just feel better when I am in the same room with him. No words or affection needs to be exchanged, I just feel better simply by breathing the same air that he does.

I suppose I am a bit of a romantic on the quiet.

But this is a beautiful ship. And it just happens to hold the love of my life, so…how can I ever complain? I am a very lucky man.
