[a few hours later, in the med bay...]
Grimm: [stirred, groaning as he blinked his eyes, trying to focus] Nnnhh... Where am I...?
Terry: (was sitting in the corner) |-) Zzz...
Grimm: [gasped wen his eyes finally focused n sees Terry at the corner, tries to get out of bed to escape, bt tripped on the blankets n fell] (doh)
Terry: (tired) Huh, who...? Grimm? (yawn)
Grimm: [stumbled abt n hid under the covers instead, evn tho he felt stupid doing tht]
Terry: (came over, slowly lifting the sheets)
Grimm: DON'T...! [tugs the sheet away frm Terry, hiding himself more]
Terry: Grimm, I only-
Grimm: Dont look at me! Go away! I'm a freak!
Terry: :(... Is this why you acted towards me the way you have?
Grimm: [a long pause later] ...I can't... I can't be ur husband, I... I can't give u my seed to make u give me an heir... N... N I'm a freak, there is no way u could even stand looking at me, let alone hv sex with me...
Terry: :( Grimm...
Grimm: U wouldnt understand... how u spent most of ur life being a pure male, only to wake up to find out u got ur dick cut off n modified to be a half-girl to save ur life... Wat kind of life is this... I'd rather die...
Terry: ... (gave him a gentle hug)
Grimm: [flinched at his hug, bt somehow doesnt push him away, bt slowly peeked his head out of the covers]
Terry: ... :) Nothing wrong with being different from others. We're all different...
Grimm: Ur an alien frm another planet. How different can u be?
Terry: (blush) Well, course I can produce babies either from myself or for someone else...
Grimm: [blinked n turned to him] ....Whut?
Terry: I'm... (swallowed) intersex...
Grimm: [a long pause later] ...Ur shitting me, right?
Terry: (shake) Not even a little.
Grimm: Ur not just saying tht to make me feel better, are u?
Terry: I promise you, Grimm, I'm not.
Grimm: I thought... maybe bcoz ur...like me, tht's why ur parents r OK to let u be my wife, n I was worried bcoz I couldn't sire children for u... Its also the reason why I kept rejecting ppl during courting ceremonies, coz I was afraid they would think I'm a freak...
Terry: :( If they did... you don't deserve them. But do you still feel you don't deserve me...?
Grimm: I... I dont knw... I was mad at my dad for trying to matchmake me with ppl evn tho knwing my condition, bt knw tht I knw ur... different, I... I dunno... I've been so mean to u, I probably still dont deserve u
Terry: You'd rather call all this off then...? :( (part of him didn't want to)
Grimm: I...! [hesitated] ...I dunno... I mean I did, bt now... I'm not so sure I still want to...
Terry: ...We'll figure something out... :)
Grimm: [for the first time since they met, he smiled at Terry]
Terry: (blush)
