There's so much around them, surrounding them, existing in the spaces between them; so much love, desire, want that neither of them even know what to name it anymore.

For a moment, a brief shining moment that was filled with hope and dreams and kisses, they both believed they could do it -- could give up everything they fought for, everyone who depended on them, every place that needed them -- but that moment lasted no longer (and no less intensely) than a battle in space.

And so they return, to their lives apart but not quite separate; to their duty.
