A/N: someone asked me this question, why dose Q call Jean-Luc mon capitaine? I had to translate that and found out it meant my captain. That sparked this little thing, it's only a little over two hundred words but my point is made!
I stared at Jean-Luc, was he drunk? Surly not, he never lost himself like that before or at least in my presence. I wondered if he had before? Was the stress too much for him sometimes?
"Q, why do you call me Mon capitaine?"
He slurred making me snort, out of all the questions he could have asked me since I had pretty much all the answers he had to ask me that one. He could have asked me if he would make it to his next mission, or if they would beat the borg, if he would see more Q's, and he could have even asked me how long he had to live. But no, once again he astonished me by asking the one thing I didn't expect.
"Why not?"
Jean-luc smiled bitterly before standing and heading my way. He chose my own tactic of closing in on a person's 'personal bubble'. I often did that to him, but having him do that to me... It felt very uncomfortable and strangely I was also very comfortable, why did this man, this mortal affect me so?
"Why my captain, surly there are other things you could chose to call me."
I shivered, his breath hot and smelling of the wine he had consumed tickled my cheek and ear. How did I answer a question I had no answer to?
"Because you're a captain?"
He laughed and shuffled away;
"Are you sure that's all Q? One might think you've a crush on me."
And he promptly passed out on his bed. Of all the things! I huffed;
"Who knows Mon capitaine?"
