Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Author's Note: Garak/Bashir Please don't get mad at me for having Julian like this music, and for making up something about Cardassian music...I live in my own little ignorant Star Trek world and this song reminds me of Elim Garak. It's a fabulous song, look it up!
Julian's ABCs
C is for Cheshire
"What is this song called?" Garak asked, lounging upside-down on one of the beds in the infirmary with his feet against the wall. He rolled his eyes so he could look at Julian, who was staying late completing a medical log on Rom's latest ear infection. They were the only two in the room.
Julian glanced up from his computer console. He had been playing some ancient Earth rock music, one of the many genres he enjoyed from the period. He was playing it because he thought Garak would like it, and so far he had been correct.
"This one is 'All-American Nightmare' by Hinder." Julian answered.
Garak resumed staring at the ceiling. "Oh." He sighed. "I like it."
"As do I." Julian laughed. "Let me play another one that I think you will like." He tapped the console and changed the song that filled the room.
The song started with guitars, followed by a man's voice.
I'm scared to look down...
Never been so high.
Garak flipped his legs over the side of the bed he was lounging on. He sat up, his mouth wide, and Julian could see Garak's lip tremble.
"What's wrong?"
"This sounds like modern Cardassian music, a genre called Red Stone." He looked at Julian. "My personal favorite."
I'm scared to be touched,
I don't like the feel.
Julian laughed. "Well, I'm glad I found something that you enjoy!" He watched Garak's face.
'Cause inside it's raining,
It never lets up.
"Oh yes, my dear doctor. I am too." He let that Cheshire cat grin cross his face, the one that made Julian's heart skip a beat.
I know I'm crazy,
Crazy enough...
