It's nice, being back beside Manabu, seeing him go from 11 to 8 to 4 on a scale of one to ten in under a minute. In a way, that's why they work so well - Manabu's the only one whose mood swings faster than Brendan's, possibly in several universes. Brendan is most decidedly not a smiley person most of the time, but he grins at his boyfriend like a lovestruck idiot for a moment.
He doesn't quite know what to say in this moment. This is everything he didn't know he wanted: space, a new world, all his old baggage and problems and fuck ups left behind, stars in the sky to match the ones in Manabu's eyes, and it's all so perfect he doesn't dare say anything to ruin the moment, gazing out at the vastness of space for several long moments after they launch.
Usually it took a lot to render him speechless, but frankly he doesn't have words for any of this that would do justice to the rising swell of joy and peace and, despite his determination to stay jaded, wonder.
