Title: Our Man Bashir

Summary: Julian finally told someone that he is in love with Garak. However could Julian tell Garak on how he feels?

Timeline: This takes place right after the episode "Our Man Bashir."

Author's note: There's information on here that's going to be confusing, but it will all come out later on to one-shots that I will write. You will know what I mean. NO FLAMES!

"So, what happened Julian?" Miles O'Brien asked as soon as he saw his friend walking down the promenade as Julian was now redressed in his uniform and not in his tuxedo.

"Miles, I just gotten out of the holodeck and I haven't even written the report yet for Captain Sisko. You don't want to wait until then?" Julian asked with a small smile.

"Of course not, I want to know why Rom has to make a mess in the Defiant main computer system. I'm going to be working overtime now," Miles complained.

Julian laughed, "Why don't you and I have lunch together and I tell you all about it? I was going to check on the infirmary and go back to my quarters to rest, but you keep insisting me on telling you," he said.

Miles looked at him, "Look, if you want to spend alone for the time being you could just tell me," he said.

"No, no! I don't mind at all, Chief. To tell you the truth, I'm famished. I was going to ask Garak to come along with me, but I'm sure his probably resting in his quarters by now after that episode of his," Julian said with a grin as he remembered that he shot him near the neck.

"So, where do you want to go for lunch?" Miles asked slowly.

"How about we have lunch at the Replimat? Right now, I don't even want to see Quark's nor the holodecks," Julian replied.

The two friends entered the Replimat, and right away, Julian saw an empty table and he quickly got to it while Miles got his and Julian's lunches. The two spend so much time together that Miles now practically know what Julian likes to have for lunch.

"So tell me, what happened at the holodeck?" Miles asked as soon as he came back with their lunches.

"Really Miles, are you that intrigued about it?" Julian asked.

"Of course I am! It's not because of the computer maintenance that I have to do tomorrow, but it's also about that power failure that I heard about before your episode happened," Miles said with a grin.

"You've been talking to Eddington, haven't you?" Julian asked with a glare.

"You better believe it," Miles replied with a chuckle as he dug into his food.

Julian was about to say something until he saw someone from the corner of his eyes. He looked up and he saw Garak walking right beside Odo as the two head towards an empty table that was now evacuated.

"Is something wrong Julian?" Miles asked as he saw that his friend hasn't touched his food yet. Julian gestured to Garak and Miles turned to look and he turned back to look at Julian. He frowned, "So? What's wrong with that? It's just Garak and Odo," he said shrugging.

"If only I knew that Garak wanted to have lunch here, I would have asked him myself," Julian said shaking his head as Miles raised an eyebrow, "but no, he agrees to have lunch with me tomorrow since we both thought that we would be resting in our quarters by now," Julian said.

"Look Julian, if you want me to go, I could go. I could ask Garak…" Miles began but was interrupted by Julian.

"No!" Julian hissed at him, "You don't have to go Miles," he said.

"What's going on with you? It's as if you're angry at Garak or jealous at Odo and Garak," Miles said slowly.

Julian shook his head, "It's nothing. It's just a phase that I'm going to right now," he lied.

"Look, I'm your best friend. If you want to tell me something, you could and I promise I won't tell anyone," Miles promised.

Julian looked at him and he looked back at Garak who was talking fondly with Odo as he was a bit disappointed that Garak didn't noticed that he was just a few tables away from him. Julian sighed as he looked back at Miles, "have you've ever thought that Garak is…well, attractive?" Julian asked slowly.

"WHAT!" Miles shrieked earning them a few stares including one particular Cardassian.

Julian glared deathly at him and everyone went back to his/her own doing and Garak returned to his conversation with Odo. "I never told anyone this, but I'm bisexual Miles," Julian said nervously and quietly.

"How did this happen? I mean, how did you know you were attracted to Garak?" Miles asked slowly.

"I'm not sure," Julian said slowly, "I think it happened when he blew his shop and that was when I began to start to worry for him and it developed something more," he explained.

"Did you tell anyone about this?" Miles asked.

"No," Julian replied shaking his head, "I've been hiding out in the holodeck and I somewhat told Quark about it," he said.

"Quark knows? What's been going on with you, Julian? Is that why I haven't been seeing you lately last month?" Miles asked slowly.

Julian fidgeted, "This isn't easy for me, Miles," he began.

"Like hell it isn't! I want to know why my best friend has been keeping secrets from me lately," Miles said angrily.

"You want to know my secrets? Come with me to the holodeck and I'll show you," Julian said and he got up as Miles followed him as well and the two went inside Quark's and unknown to them, Garak was watching the two from the corner of his eye.

Inside the holodeck, Miles whistled at the program that he was now seeing. "You've created this from your fantasy?" He asked as he looked at Julian.

Julian nodded slowly and Miles was about to say something until a holographic Garak came into the living room. "Julian, it's been rather a long time, hasn't it? I thought you wouldn't see me anymore?" The holographic Garak asked as he went towards Julian.

"I just wanted to show Miles something," Julian replied nervously.

"You mean this?" Garak asked and before Julian could protest, Garak kissed him and Julian couldn't do anything about it except kissed back as it had been too long that he had any contact of sort.

"So it is true," Miles whispered and Julian heard him and he broke off the kiss to look at him.

"This is what I'm yearning for from the other Garak, Miles. I'm too afraid to tell him," Julian admitted.

"Julian," Miles began as he took a deep breath before speaking gain. "Look, this is really unhealthy for you. You can't just come in here and expect the other Garak to throw to your arms. You have to tell him," he said.

"You don't disapprove?" Julian asked surprised.

"Of course I do! I don't like Garak at all. In fact, I despise him! However, I will support you because you are my best friend and if pursuing him makes you happy, so be it," Miles said sighing.

"Thank you," Julian said slowly as he deactivated the program and he looked at Miles. "What should I do? Should I tell Garak straightforward on how I feel? I have no idea how to pursue a Cardassian," Julian said.

Miles snorted, "Well, don't look at me. I have no idea how, but I know for one thing, Garak is no woman," he said with a teasing smile.

Julian glared at him, "I know that Miles. Perhaps I should speak to Quark," he said slowly.

"Quark? What does he know?" Miles asked.

"Well, there's a rumor that was going on two years ago that Quark had a thing for a female Cardassian," Julian said with a smile.

Miles laughed, "That's only a rumor!" He exclaimed.

"Well, I'm going to ask him anyway," Julian said and with that, he began to leave the holodeck with Miles at toe.

TBC...

me: One last chapter and after that, I will be writing one-shots on Julian/Garak's relationship starting from the holodeck addiction of Julian's obsession.

Julian: We'll be onto the next chapter soon.

me: Y'know, I wasn't really fond of Julian/Garak pairing until a few days ago. It somewhat changed my mind as I was into Julian/O'Brien instead.

O'Brien: What? I'm married! I'm not homosexual!

me: I know you aren't. This is my first time writing Julian/Garak pairing.

Garak: Review and update.
