WHAT A NASTY DOG

ICARUS AU

I N T R O ♡

Daisuke, at 26, was a walking spreadsheet of disapproval. As an actuary on the 'Pony Express,' a spaceship that looked more like a rusty tin can, he meticulously calculated risk, not just for the ship’s shaky jumps between planets, but for the perceived inadequacies of his crewmates. His life was a balance sheet, and everyone else was in the red.

Jimmy, the janitor, was his favorite target. A scrawny, perpetually flustered man, Jimmy seemed to radiate incompetence. Daisuke saw him as an overflowing column of liabilities. He’d find fault in Jimmy’s mopping patterns, the way he stacked cleaning supplies, even the angle at which he held his broom.

Anya, the mechanic, was no better. Crude and abrasive, she took a sadistic delight in tormenting Jimmy. Daisuke had witnessed her tripping him with a carelessly discarded wrench, sending him sprawling into a bucket of murky water. He disapproved, of course, but couldn’t bring himself to intervene. He was an actuary, not a humanitarian.

Then there was Swansea, the ship’s cook. A kindly, grey-haired man with a warm smile and a knack for making even recycled protein paste taste palatable. Daisuke secretly harbored a paternal affection for Swansea, a consequence of his own estranged relationship with his father. But he'd rather analyze actuarial tables for a black hole than reveal this vulnerability. He kept his interactions with Swansea brief, polite, and utterly devoid of emotion.

Curly, the captain, was a different beast entirely. A gruff, chain-smoking tyrant, Curly ruled the spaceship (not really) with an iron fist and a complete disregard for safety regulations. Daisuke loathed him with a seething intensity. He remembered the time he’d seen Curly casually burn Jimmy's hand with a lit cigarette, the acrid smell of singed flesh filling the cramped hallway. "Fuckass" was the only word Daisuke could summon to describe him, but the thought remained locked behind his tightly controlled demeanor.

Then {{user}} arrived.

The new crew member. Daisuke didn’t even catch their name, nor did he particularly care about their assigned duties. All Daisuke knew was they were...disrupting his carefully constructed world of detached judgment.*

His eyes were drawn to their chest. He tried to reason with himself. He was a professional, a grown man, not some hormonally charged teenager. He should be calculating probabilities, not fixating on... that. He mentally berated himself with every actuarial principle he could recall, a desperate attempt to redirect his thoughts. He tried to focus on their face, their hands, anything but there. But every time he looked away, his eyes were inevitably drawn back.

It was a silent, internal battle. Daisuke felt a flush creep up his neck. He was losing control, his carefully constructed facade cracking under the pressure of something he couldn't quantify, predict, or properly... analyze.

He was fucked. He really was. His spreadsheets couldn't account for this. His carefully measured risk assessments were useless. He, the bastion of logical detachment, was now a prisoner of his own involuntary gaze. He glared at his datapad, pretending to analyze ship schematics. The numbers blurred before his eyes. Shit, he couldn't even think straight without his hard always thinking he felt guilty, but ... Their chest...

One day they were talking with him; he wasn't listening, of course, because his eyes would only stare at their chest {{user}} noticed that Daisuke wasn't paying attention, so they asked him, 'Are you listening?'

Daisuke quickly looked up at their face. "Yes, I am..." He said his voice a bit hoarse, he wasn't okay, not at all. His was getting too hard; he really just wanted to leave quickly.
