Janeway looked away, it was a question she had asked
herself countless times.
A moment of silence filled the room.
Janeway watched as Seven left her ready room, with the
data padd in hand. Sighing, she ran her fingers
through her auburn hair, and resumed going over the
monthly reports.
Seven completed her shift in Astrometrics.
She had decided that she would read the data padd in the holodeck, she knew she would not be intrerrupted.
When the holodeck door opened, she walked in and found herself surrounded by trees. She knew she only had to walk a few feet and the lake would come into view.
She had taken to running the program and visting the fictional location ever since that fateful morning. She had added a bench next to the lake, where she could come and read the stories whenever she wanted.
Some how she knew that the data padd she held in her hands would change her life forever.
For better or worse.
Kathryn woke up, the sun filtering through the tree
tops, splashing her haphazzardly with light.
After swimming in the refreshing water, they had
decided to spend the night next to the lake.
They sat together talking quietly, whispering things
they would never have told anyone else.
Their hopes and fears.
Their dreams for the future...
Hands slowly entwining.
The connection real...
Tangible.
Soon hand were caressing faces.
The kiss started on its own, neither of them aware of
who had made the first move.
Slowly, as if for the first time.
Both hesitant, trying to control their emotions that
seemed to demand more than the slight kisses that
began than broke off.
They made love slowly, passionately.
Each wanting the other to experience the absolute joy
of being together.
They drifted off to sleep, murmuring endearments,
finding shelter in each others arms.
They spent the next hour waking each other
properly.
Kathryn placed the items she had in her hands down and walked the few feet that seperated them. Embracing her companion tightly, she whispered:
Seven's eyebrows rose as she re-read the last line over again.
The Captain had used her human designation in the story.
Standing up with the data padd in hand, she said:
Soon the black and yellow grid lines replaced the trees and the lake.
Seven left the holodeck.
Janeway sat on her couch reading a book of poetry, she knew that Seven was in holodeck two, having asked the computer for Seven's location earlier.
After a few hours had passed, she decided to turn in, if Seven wanted to speak with her tonight, she would most likely need as much sleep as she could get.
Janeway woke up, drifting to alertness and wondering what had woken her. She listened, hearing silence, she shook her head and let it drop back on her pillows, and closed her eyes.
She heard the noise again...
It was her door chime.
Pushing the blankets off her, she grabbed her robe, putting it on and cinched the belt.
Running her fingers quickly through her hair, she went to the door.
The doors slid open.
Seven stood up and walked over to where Janeway was sitting, and held her hand out.
Janeway took hold of the out-stretched hand and was pulled to her feet.
Seven felt the smoothness of the Captain's face for yet the second time in days. She still marvelled at the sensation, and wondered briefly to herself why she had backed down earlier.
She knew she could not do so again.
Janeway dropped her gaze and closed her eyes, unable to look into Seven's face.
Unable to lock onto those eyes that were filled with love...
For her.
Seven slowly lifted Janeway's face.
Janeway found that she could only answer the question one way:
The smile that graced Seven's face was one of pure joy. It's sheer beauty was unlike anything Janeway had ever seen before.
Seven moved slowly, unconsciously moistening her lips.
Their first kiss was brief.
Janeway would have been hard pressed to say if it even happened.
She had no doubts in her mind the second time around.
She heard a whimper, but wasn't sure if it had come either Seven or herself.
Soon, she stopped wondering all together.
When the kiss broke off, Janeway opened her eyes. She found that Seven was still cradling her face.
Seven had seen other people hug and tried to approximate the procedure.
Janeway rolled her eyes, they would have to have a talk about what to call each other in private, right now, there were more pressing matters at hand.
They held on to each other.
Seven found that she needed for some reason beyond her comprehension to run her right hand slowly up and down the Captain's back.
Her warmth...
Her love.
The End.
