[TM] 164 - What are you waiting for?
[private]
I’m waiting for the right time to talk to my brother about moving.
I know he’s gonna propose to Addie pretty soon...he knows the ring he wants to give her, he just has to get a chance to buy it. Now me and Jimmy have been together a pretty long time, as far as living side by side...and yes, I may be crazy, but I’m not *that* crazy. I know he’s leaving.
It hurts a little...but he’s leaving. And having Addie for a sister...yeah, that goes a LONG way to soothe the sting. She’s just this amazing person...like the little sister me and Jimmy always wanted when we were kids. I love her as much as he does...I don’t mind the two of them, long as he don’t hog her, know what I mean?
What bothers me most is that I’ve been looking at things...and they don’t seem so bad. Ensign Marley just got sent home a couple weeks ago? He’s got personal quarters at the far end of the station, with this great view of the water. I think it might feel good...having that view.
So I talked to Dr. Weir...she said that it’s gonna stand empty for a while, I can request it if I want it. It’s a great set of rooms...for one person.
Maybe two...if you want to get cozy.
That’s another thing that’s bugging me...I haven’t told him about Heira yet. He knows I’m seeing someone, but I haven’t actually said it out loud yet. It’s this thing...with each other, we know. I’m not Jim, I can’t tell you what you had for breakfast by what size shoe you wear...but I can with Jim. Guess it’s a twin thing.
Still...we talk. But now we’re not. We have separate things...separate lives. We’ve *never* had separate lives before. It’s kind of scary. All my life...I’ve had Jim there, y’know? He loves to mess around about our “age difference”...but it’s always been like that. He’s my big brother.
So even though I’ve been moving my stuff around, thinking about packing and cleaning up Jim’s shit as a hint he needs to get the hell out already...even though I want to make our quarters sort of a wedding present to Jim and Addie when it happens, since it’s big enough for two and all...I’m scared. I don’t want this part of our lives to be over yet, and at the same time...I don’t know. I’m kind of excited for it.
Terrified...but a little excited.
So I’m waiting...maybe less for the right time, and more so that time doesn’t come.
