It was another quiet night on the marauder. The hum of the engine traveling through hyperspace was soothing. Everyone except Tech and Juno was awake. Tech glanced over to her as his whole body started to hurt looking at the way she was sitting. She was half sitting crisscross with her right knee bent as it was holding her datapad as she worked. The dim blue glow shone a halo of light on her face. Tech would never admit that looking at her so enthralled with what she was doing was adorable. The way her tongue braced the seam of her lips as she focused. Her breathing changed when she got to the bottom of a problem. Her smirk in victory after completing another problem set. She and Tech would race to see who could finish a problem set the fastest. She loved the cognitive challenge that came with being precise in calculations but also being efficient to the point she could beat a genetically enhanced clone, whose advantage was intelligence. On nights when they took watch, it was filled with conversation on topics in academia, challenging past thoughts and research. Tech did not want to admit this to Juno, but he enjoyed her company. He admired how she challenged his thinking, their soft debates about various topics. She won't admit to Tech how much she enjoys his company as well. Juno would get this odd feeling in her stomach, and her heart would experience palpitations during some moments, it truly frustrated her how much of an effect Tech had on her.

A furious blush painted her face as she tried to get control of her emotions. The soft smile that crept up onto Tech’s face did not help her situation. She felt her heart do somersaults in her chest, she felt herself becoming hyperfocus on her increased rates of breathing. She started to notice herself zoning out, she could hear the sound of Tech’s voice but she was stuck in her head. Juno was confused about why she felt this way, she knew this was against how she was brought up. It made her very frustrated as she tried to understand her feelings and why they were different with Tech than the rest of the batch. She had theories as to why but there was some solid evidence that would support such a hypothesis but not enough for it truly to be a solid answer to said hypothesis. It was very overwhelming to her, trying to figure out such feelings.

“Juno, is everything alright?” Tech inquired, gently pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She jolted up at the sudden touch. Her gaze met his for a brief moment before her gaze went to her hands. Her heart was doing the same somersaults like they were doing not that long ago. Juno wanted nothing more than to talk but her tongue felt very heavy. Come on Juno! He asked you a question. SAY SOMETHING! Juno wanted nothing more than to say something but she couldn’t. Tech’s eyes softened as he noticed her discomfort. Her eyes wore a panicked expression as her gaze flickered between him and the panels behind him. Her breathing became very uneven. Tech noticed that instead of it getting better, her distress became a lot worse. Tech noted the panic in her eyes as she tried to process all of the things that were happening simultaneously. He set down his datapad on the console in front of him.

This is not the first time this has happened. Juno and Tech have a routine when something like this happens. Juno surged into Tech’s arms, with her forehead pressing into his shoulder. He pulled her tighter to his body, his arms wrapping around her protectively. He gently kissed the crown of her hair.

Tech had noted it had been exactly five minutes and forty-two seconds when Juno’s breathing started to become more regulated like it had been before. Juno’s teary gaze met Tech’s, his eyes full of concern and admiration. He gently brushed away the tears from her face. He leaned to press his forehead to hers gently.

“Just keep breathing love, you are doing so well,” Tech murmured his eyes full of admiration. Juno smiled, sighing contently wrapping her arms around his body.

The air between them changed, there was a magnetic pull between them. Juno felt Tech’s nose brush hers, she felt his breath on her lips as he leaned closer. It felt like an eternity before their lips touched in a gentle kiss. To Tech, she was his sun, providing him with light, warmth, and joy in his life. He loved her. She loved him. It drove Juno a little crazy how much she loved him. But he was her rock, her comfort. She never thought she would ever find this kind of calmness and solitude after her clan abandoned her. But she did. Their lips moved in sync with one another. They were savouring the feeling of each other's presence and touch.

The words ‘I love you’ did not have to be said. They knew in their own way that they loved one another. They didn’t conform to a kind of love that the world would understand and accept. It was a love that they understood together and made it special. Despite their struggles to understand the outside world, they created their own world, one they could fully understand.

Besides, there is more than one way to say ‘I love you’.
