Summary
Reading the card at least five times, he is delaying the inevitable of opening what he knows to find in the box. The adage, ‘you can take the boy out of Starfleet, but you can never take Starfleet out of the boy’ bounces about in his head. Taking a deep breath, he opens the box with slightly shaky fingers.
Bright and gaudy against the sterile box, is a Starfleet uniform.

Quickly turning, she holds up her free hand, “I left my rank at the door. I am here merely as a… friend.” Holding out the unopened bottle between them, she smirks, “Especially when there is alcohol to be shared. Call me Kathryn.”

Not wanting to worry her, he lightly kisses her forehead. “You can go back to sleep. I can see myself out.” Untangling himself from her warm body, he sits on the edge and puts his boots on.
“You can stay." Her voice is small, frightened of the repercussions of her decisions.

His head hangs low. “I’m sorry.”
Lifting his chin with the tip of her finger, she shakes her head. “Don’t you dare, not when you have done nothing wrong.” She focuses on his eyes, the warmth replaced with the cold glint of guilt. “She fooled all of us; Vulcans, doctors, and Captains alike.”

Standing at a distance, he simply stares at it in awe. Yes, it's rusted and he'll never be able to start it – let alone drive it – he can't help but feel a buzz of excitement racing through his veins. The 1936 Ford truck has seen better days, but she is a beauty! Taking a few timid steps towards her, he reaches out with shaky fingers, the cool metal just barely under the tips when he hears music coming from the front cab.

Shaking his head, he quickly thinks of another solution. “How about we make a bet? If I win, you cut your hair and keep it for three days. If you win, then I leave your hair alone and will transport down to the surface of the next M-Class with Neelix to find food.” At her silence, he holds his hand out and asks, “Do we have a deal?”
Biting her bottom lip, she slowly says, “It depends… what’s the bet?”

“Do you have any other tattoos?” She barely stops herself from banging her fist against her head. She had, of course, spent some time pondering this question, yet she would have never thought that she would actually ask that question out loud.
He softly laughs under his breath. “No.”
Letting out a breath she didn’t know that she was holding in, she swallows hard before looking back down at the photograph. That could have gone… wrong. She can literally feel him grinning. But so deliciously right.

Summary
Blinking several times to refocus his mind, he decides to stare at the ground as he tries to comprehend everything that B’Elanna is saying about force fields and Sporosistian energy. He does a good job up until the moment Kathryn shifts her hip to the side and kicks up her foot. His brain literally short circuits when she leans her weight on the toe of her boot.
Blatantly following the path up her long legs, he imagines that she is once again blissfully naked in his dark quarters, her breathless sighs charging the air as the tips of his fingers memorize every inch of skin.

Summary
God, I feel awful.
Her muscles ache as if they had been pulled apart one at a time, her head quite literally on the cusp of an explosion. Yet, none of that compares to the pain of emptiness low within her belly.
How could this have happened?

Summary
The shadow now taking the form of a dark figure, hooded and obscured from view, crawls out from his corner in her soul. Closing her eyes, her vision becomes opaque, sinister, as he grins from underneath his hood. You trapped these people so far from home. How selfish of you to carry on a relationship when those around you are suffering.
Hello darkness, my old friend... I was wondering when you were going to make your appearance.

“Call me what you like, Kathryn, but in the end, it’s me who bared Chakotay’s child, not you.”
Not being able to hold in her laughter, Kathryn cackles, “Is this why you brought me here? To have a pissing match over a man? Desperate and pathetic is not a pretty color on you, Seska.”
An ugly shade of puce colors the Cardassian’s cheeks as her own anger boils to the top.

“Then what kind of guy do you expect me to be? And please,” he slides the shot glass over to me, “spare me the Starfleet lingo of describing perfect officer material.”
Annnd, I totally miss the glass. Mainly because the words I was going to start with were ‘loyal’, ‘compassionate’, and ‘not hot pink’. All can be used to describe good officers. “I want us to start our relationship again.” I smirk, “how’s that for Starfleet lingo?” Then I duck down to retrieve the shot glass.

Floating across the room with a large cup of bribery in the form of coffee in his hands, Q tisks, “Oh, come now, Kathy. There is no need to get your Starfleet panties in a twist so early in the morning. I have just come to make you coffee – a well loved concoction, I have heard from many reputable sources – with the hopes of a peace treaty.” Waving the steaming cup under her nose, he offers her the handle.
