It was a random place, a random time, and a random object that brought two chubby gay men together on a spaceship bound for a distant planet. They were both engineers, assigned to repair a malfunctioning gravity generator onboard the vessel.
As they worked side by side, their intimacy grew. They would steal glances at each other when they thought the other wasn’t looking, and their hands would brush accidentally as they worked on the same panel.
One night, as they lay in their bunks, they finally confessed their feelings for each other. They had both been afraid to do so, for fear of rejection, but they found comfort in each other’s arms.
Their happiness was short-lived, however, as the gravity generator suddenly malfunctioned again. They rushed to the control room, but it was too late. The ship was spiraling out of control, headed straight for the planet below.
With only moments to spare, the two men sprang into action. They worked tirelessly to repair the generator, even as the ship shook violently around them.
Finally, with a loud hum, the generator came back online. The ship stabilized, and they were able to steer it away from the planet and back on course.
Exhausted and exhilarated, the two men collapsed into each other’s arms. They knew that they had just saved the lives of everyone onboard, and they were grateful to have each other to share the moment with.
As they drifted off to sleep, they knew that their love would survive, even in the cold depths of space. For they were two chubby gay men, united by their passion for each other and their shared mission to explore the unknown.
