*I can feel his eyes on me. They are boring into the back of my neck. I refuse to acknowledge his presence; I don't care if my heart is screaming to turn around. I know he is hurt. Well its not my fault, if his future self hadn't told me then we wouldn't be hear would we? I know its childish of me, Odo can't help having feelings for me. I guess I'm kind of flattered, I mean as far as I know this is the only time Odo has ever had an 'humanoid' emotion.*
*Wait, were did he go? Finally I do turn around Odo is gone. I stand leaving my coffee on the table and scan the promenade for him. Its not fair, he can change shape and disappear into a crowd while must stand here looking oh so obvious.*
"Kira"
*Damn it, would it be too much to ask that I have just one week of peace. Okay I can do this, all I have to do is turn around look him in the eye and tell him I'm not interested. Okay so I might be lying but it will make things so much easier. Yes now just turn, there you go. Look up, come on Kira you're a Star Fleet officer, you have been through dozens of battles. How hard could it be to look the man who has been your best friend for five years, in the eyes? *
"Odo"
*Alright that went well, now tell him that you just want to be friends, come on its not that hard. Oh he looks so lost, like he just told the women he loves how he feels and she's avoiding him. Smile Kira. That's better, lessen the tension. Nice, now tell him.*
"Odo… I think that we should… what I mean to say is that… we've been friends so long…can't we… damn it."
*Not that great a start, but in about an hour you should be able to complete a sentence. He's about to say something.*
"Kira, I think it would be best if we left 'this' alone for now. With all that is going on we need to have clear heads. The last thing we need is to become distracted by our own personal situations."
*Huh, wait what's happening? How dare he, so we're just going to pretend like we, he didn't say anything. Oh come on, we both no he's just afraid. The nerve, using the ships occupation as a way to worm out of his confession. Well I don't care, I mean its not like I had feelings for him anyway.*
"That sounds good to me Odo."
*Smile Kira, pretend like you aren't about to cry. No I am not about to cry, I don't care. Then why does this hurt so much.*
"Kira would you take a walk with me."
"Sure Odo! Where do you want to go?"
* Well I got exactly what I wanted. Then why am I about to cry.*
