He laughed as she clinked her glass to his. His laugh was infectious and she
found herself laughing as they joked about everything from replicators
to Seven. It was good to hear him laugh.
It was good to hear her laugh. He filled up the champagne glasses and flashed her a smile. She quirked a grin back at him. She loved his
smile. She loved everything about him. To make it simple she was in love with
him.
"You know I'd give a month of replicator rations just
to see you cook…" He loved her smile, he loved everything about her. And for
years he had loved his Captain and friend.
"That can be arranged" she joked. He took her hand and kissed it.
"Goodnight Kathryn, I'd better be going."
"Goodnight Chakotay…" Just as he was about to depart she
grabbed his arm. "Actually, I know how to make this a really good night…" She
pulled him down and kissed him.
"You read my mind Kathryn"
"I'm half Betazoid you know."
"Sure…"
" You know what Chakotay,
just do me a favor… Shut up and kiss me." He complied without any hesitation as
Voyager flew home.
