The next morning Hoshi stretched glad to be back in her own bed. She rolled out of bed and picked up her robe. She couldn't help but get a butterfly like feeling in her stomach at the thought of seeing the Captain. All last night, she had dreamed of him showing up at the door in his skivvies. Not that he needs to know that.

She showered and put her robe back on, wrapping the towel around her hair. She walked back out into the bedroom and gasped. Jon was on the top bunk, fast asleep. She started to wake him but stopped. He looks so peaceful.

Walking over to the bunk she watched him sleep. His hair was tousled, and he had a slight smile on his face. Hoshi grinned in response. OK. Have to do it.

Reaching up she stroked the hair off his face. When she brought her hand down she found green eyes staring back at her.

"Good morning. Again." Jon awoke with a slight headache.

"Good morning, Captain." She reached up, touching the towel on her head in a self-conscious gesture.

"Hoshi, I really think that if we keep meeting like this, you are going to have to call me Jon."

Hoshi laughed. He sat up and put his feet over the end of the bed.

"I suppose I should head back to my quarters. Porthos is probably very upset with me right now."

Hoshi pulled the towel off her head, letting her hair fall loose. Jon stopped talking and walked toward her. He watched her eyes for a moment. Hoshi could feel her heart slamming in her chest. He leaned into her, stopping with his lips just short of hers. Then suddenly he leaned back and said, "Maybe I could borrow my clothes back."

Hoshi, who had not quite left the moment yet, said, "What? Oh yes. I almost forgot."

Jon took them back and slid on the shorts.

Oh wow. They smell like her.

He started to speak but was stopped when Hoshi's comm beeped.

"Tucker to Sato."

"Yes, Commander?" she asked trying to not sound guilty of anything.

"Umm, Hoshi, I don't mean to be rude, but is the Cap'n there?"

Hoshi's face flamed.

"Yes. I'm here Trip." Jon answered, trying not to swear.

"There seems to be a problem, sir. You and Hoshi need to come down to Sickbay as soon as possible. We need to talk."

"Alright then. We'll meet you in 10 minutes. Archer out."
