A/N: Another J/C, because these drabbles always seem to gravitate back to them eventually.
Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand, strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance, silver moon sparkling
So kiss me
- 'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None The Richer/New Found Glory
The sun had disappeared nearly an hour ago, but the scattered outdoor lamps and moonlight gave off just enough light for the small crowd that was still milling around to see by. The Indiana crickets chirped, the fireflies flew overhead, and the music had long ago turned into a soft beat.
Janeway looked out over the scenery, smiling softly at the few members of the Voyager crew and their families that hadn't left the reunion yet. Harry and Icheb seemed intent on a game of Kal-toh, in fact she wasn't sure if they'd even moved in the last two hours. Tuvok, her mother, and T'Pel stood near the now empty food table. The Doctor was speaking with Sam and her husband while covertly watching Seven, who held a fast asleep Naomi. Then there was the infamous Voyager couple. Tom had his arms wrapped around B'Elanna as they sat on one of the benches, both grinning happily as they watched Owen cooing at his one year old granddaughter.
A few more of the crew and their family were scattered around outside her mother's house, but most had left just before the sun went down. There was one person she knew hadn't left yet, but she also didn't see him among the others. Apparently he knew where she was though.
"I was beginning to wonder where you disappeared to." His hand came from behind her, holding out a glass of wine which she took as he leaned back against the porch railing so he could see her face.
"I see you found me." She replied, taking a sip of the wine.
The only answer she received was a crooked smile and a glint in his eyes as the moonlight reflected off them. With her own half smile she went back to watching the Voyager family. A few minutes of silence passed before she found herself glancing over, only to find his intense gaze still watching her. Their eyes locked and in the next second he was leaning closer until slowly, almost as if time itself was winding down, she felt his lips ghost over hers.
The fireflies continued to fly overhead, the flickering lights shone around them, and the soft music filled the air. But all she and Chakotay were aware of was the feeling of destiny finally being able to pull them together while they swayed gently in Indiana moonlight.
A/N: So what did you think of this one?
