Title: 10 things I hate about you.
Author: Maria
Summary: B'Elanna reflects on the things she hates most about Tom.
Disclaimer: Voyager belongs to Paramount. "10 Things I Hate About You" belongs
to.....well whoever, not me!
Spoiler Warnings: Minor ones for Drive, Alice and others.
Author's Notes: Hmm, this was inspired as a result of too much revision and
watching Drive one time too many! Don't blame me if it's beyond weird. It's set
early in Drive.

I hate the way that every passing obsession is more important to you than I am. Ohh
No, don't even think about denying it, remember Alice and this stupid race thing
you're blowing off our weekend together for.

I hate the fact that you and I are such a 'mokta'. You are soooo wrong for me.

I hate the way you shut yourself away in the holodeck for hours on end playing out
some immature 'Captain Proton' fantasy.

I hate this self-proclaimed expertise of yours on the Twenteith Century. What is so
fascinating about a 'car' anyway. You get to pilot the Fleet's fastest ship. Right
alongside the Fleet's best engineer. Who needs a holodeck?

I hate it when we argue and lets be honest that happens a lot.

I hate your 'relationship' with Seven of Nine. I HATE the way her tacky, tasteless, waaay too close
fitting 'outfit' has your tongue sticking out a couple of metres. And your excuse that
you're only doing her a favour, 'I know what it's like to have a past.' We all do,
Tom!

I hate the fact that you've seen me at my most vulnerable. I'm not much without my
Klingon side. I would have liked to keep that embarassing little secret to myself. But
then you always could strip me of all my defenses.

I hate the fact that you betrayed the Maquis and that you just can not learn to get
along with Chakotay. Not even after years of practice.

But most of all I hate the way I don't hate you. The way I can't hate you. Not even a
little. Not a single bit. Not at all.

Feedback welcome, of course.
