[ Hickey wonders if Angelo is even capable of hiding his true feelings so completely. What a surprise that would be.
He can say with certainty that he won't allow his attention to stray off of Angelo, in no small part because it's not as if Angelo has any true competition. Any wandering on Hickey's part would be a product of boredom and idle curiosity, neither of which holds a candle to this relationship and thus can be considered a closed book. Angelo is his favorite, and that position is secure.
In return, ranking as Angelo's favorite should be an easy victory for Hickey. This is true as far as the ship's roster is concerned, but...
My heart belongs to the Captain. ]
You'll need to hide it some if I'm going to secure Tozer's trust. He craves human connection, and he'll be all the more starved for it with the loss of his marines.
[ It's vague, and purposely so. Hickey has already assured Angelo that Tozer is no threat. ]
