Love is Overrated/ Prologue

Prologue
Two Years Ago, Prime Universe

Malcolm leaned into the kiss, his hands tugging at the other man's shirt to pull him closer. He never thought that something like this could ever happen between them. The security broke the kiss, his lips only inches away from his partner's. "I thoroughly enjoyed that," he murmured, earning a dark chuckle from the other man.

"Me too, Mal," Trip slurred. "We're drunk, ain't we?"

"I think so," Malcolm admitted. "Guess that means we should get drunk more often."

This earned another chuckle from Trip, along with another kiss. "I agree, Mal. Let's say you and I take this to my quarters, hmmm?"

"You have a deal," Malcolm replied. And without another word, he smashed their lips together once more.
