Summary
Now armed with something to contain Gurathin's leaking fluids, I enter the lab. He accepts the proffered facial tissues with a grateful look, and then proceeds to make a series of somehow even more disgusting noises as he expels his (copious) mucus into sheet after sheet of the thin paper. When he's finally finished, a small mountain of wadded up tissue sits in the bottom of the recycling bin. I discharge one of my energy weapons to incinerate it as a biohazard.
“Woah! Okay, I'm not sure that was entirely necessary…”
“You're sick, Gurathin. Return to your quarters and stop spreading your contaminants across the station.”
–––
Gurathin has a cold. MurderBot is very bravely overcoming the gross, human, fluid-related ick to care for him, while also trying to figure out why it wants to do that in the first place. Emotions ensue (to everyone's great concern / displeasure).

Summary
Why do humans call it a crush, anyway? I’ve seen actual crushing, and it’s not romantic; it’s not even vaguely appealing. In fact, it’s pretty horrific. Same for when humans describe love as “falling” for someone, or say they’re “drowning” in sensation. I remain convinced that most of my Preservation humans are simply too naïve to know what these things actually feel like. But, speaking as someone who has fallen, drowned, and been crushed (although, thankfully not all at once), I can say with authority that being with Gurathin is nothing like that.
- - -
A series of glimpses into Murderbot exploring its sexuality and the experience of shared touch with Gurathin. The first chapter is pretty mild, but the series will earn its explicit rating in later installments. This work lives in the same world as the first work in the series (Virus), but can be read standalone.
