Author's Note: This was written to answer a prompt on the LJ st_xi_kink_meme that asked for

"obscure pairings". Well, some of them are more rare than others.

Rated M for Chapter 5. The coupling there IS a bit weird.

1. Pavel Chekov/ Janice Rand: FUN

Pavel is almost 18. Janice is a non-com, she went to Starfleet Technical. She's 20.

They are among the youngest crew members (well, Pavel IS the youngest person aboard ship). They saw each other every day on the bridge, when Janice brought the captain the PADDs he had to sign. Pavel started sending little text messages from his console to Janice' PADD, and after Janice figured out how to do it, she started texting back (she's very clever!).

She calls him Pasha, he calls her Jan. It's great to have somebody who has the same taste in music, anime, and video games. The closest Pasha ever came to insubordination was when Dr. McCoy called that totally awesome song by his favorite Belgian boy group "stupid teeny music". But then, Old People never really understand cool music, not even in Russia.

So, Jan and Pasha meet after shift in his quarters, listen to music, watch holos, play games, eat replicated ice cream, and talk about the future, when Jan will go to the Academy and Pasha will become a captain. And they have lots of sex – because even if the captain and the others sometimes seem to think they're babies, they're not.

For Pasha and Jan, sex is another fun part of the Great Adventure called Life.

They are very young.
