"The heart has reasons that reason does not understand." ~ Blaise Pascal --------------------------- A Private Duty by Penumbra (c) 2004 --------------------------- Bashir never imagined experiencing love could be so comprehensive. It's a living thing inside him, testing the boundaries of his mortal shell, its warm essence tingling in his fingertips and clouding his vision. "I don't know what I'd do without you." Love can be a weakness, too, so he doesn't mention it. Garak's lips twitch. "Die a bachelor?" Bashir replies with a grin and touches Garak's naked hip; it's as warm as the feeling blossoming inside him. He's trusting a killer -- a devious, damaged man -- with his love. It doesn't bother him, because trust is love's sacred duty. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
