a love that is vaster than the distance between galaxies, brighter than the brightest stars, and anchored as two worlds are anchored by some celestial body so much greater than their own.

I have never seen this love outside of Star Trek though so I have low expectations.... 😭

“What am I doing wrong?” Garak asked sadly.

“You’re doing nothing wrong, she’s just being fussy.”

“She never falls asleep when I hold her, in fact she screams when I try. Why does she like you so much more than me?” Julian chuckled softly, brushing a kiss against the curly hair of their daughter.

“She doesn’t like me more than you Elim.”

“She does!” He retorted fiercely, with a slight pout. Julian just sent him an endearingly amused smile.

“Elim, why do you like to sleep with me?” Garak tilted his head to the side in consideration, this felt like a trap.

“Because you are dear to me?” He guessed. Julian shook his head and smiled.

“Try again, what about sleeping with me have you always liked best?”

“You are warm?” Julian nodded his smile widening.

“I am warm. About ten degrees warmer than a Cardassian. Our daughter is using me as a heating mat, that is the only reason she falls asleep better on me than you.” Garak’s eyes widened in understanding.

“She hasn’t decided that she loves you more simply because you carried her?” This caused Julian to roll his eyes.

“Of course not. She doesn’t understand any of that yet. She just knows that one of us is warmer than the other. That’s all.” Garak nodded and climbed into bed beside him, curling close so he could rest his hand again their daughters back, thumbing the little curls at the base of her skull.
