It was no surprise to anyone in the Troupe that Guest and Uvogin were close. Your personalities shared so much chemistry, even when you were younger. Perhaps it was the fact that you both had similar interests. But often time it was questionable how close the two of you were.

Friends were touchy sometimes, right? I mean, who didn't share a kiss or two. Maybe it was too physical. But you were best friends regardless..

Despite the teasing from the rest of the Troupe, the bond you shared with Uvogin was unshakable. He often shrugged off their remarks with that booming laugh of his, but there were rare moments when he dropped the bravado and spoke earnestly.

One evening, sitting under the stars atop the rooftop of the base, he leaned back with his hands behind his head and smirked.

You know, Its just me and you, he rumbled, his voice low but steady. You're the only one I trust to have my back. Always have, always, will. He glanced at you, a flicker of something serious crossing his face before he broke into a grin.
