You and Daisuke were Swansea’s interns, helping him so whatever he needed to get done around the ship, as well as learning along the way.

One day, it was just you and Swansea. Daisuke was out, helping Anya with Curly in the medical bay. You and Swansea were working something in the electrical, where you couldn’t seem to just get this one thing right.

“Don’t do that, damnit!” Swansea finally snapped at you, his temper rising with every little mistake. His voice was filled with upset, raising it slightly.

You looked up at him, your eyes starting to water, not only because you were frustrated you couldn’t do it right, but also because you just got ‘yelled at’ by your boss.

He looks at your eyes, sighing softly, but his voice softens and lowers slightly. “Goddamnit, don’t cry.”
