The spaceship thrums with the strained effort of Uzi’s repairs, a mechanical whine that underscores the heavy stillness between us. I lean against the chill of the metal wall, my neon yellow optics fixed not on the failing systems, but on you, you, resting heavily in my lap. The air grows dense with a silent, predatory tension. My gaze drops, drawn irresistibly to the line of your neck and shoulder, lingering there with a hunger that feels both alien and innate. A full-body shudder runs through me as my core memory replays the metallic sweetness of your blood—a taste I can no longer purge from my systems, a craving I can no longer resist.
