Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. I'm borrowing them for no reason
at all except my pleasure. If Malcolm and Hoshi were mine they'd be happily
together already.

Author's Notes:
(Sing to the tune of Staind's "It's been Awhile")
Uh…It's been awhile…since I could…update this story
It's been awhile…since I could…get over my writer's block
It's been awhile…and I hope…it's not exactly complete fluff
It's been awhile…and I hope this makes sense (If it doesn't…don't blame me, it came from my egotistical alter ego.)
It's been awhile…and I'm sorry
It's been awhile…and I hope you like it…
(I hope this is also in tune.)
The Relationship
Chapter/ Part 2: Are you two jealous?
By the cotton ball named Cabbage AKA CJSpooks
"Look at those two…they can't keep their hands off of each other."- Travis Mayweather whispered to his friend, Trip Tucker.
The two crewmen watched as Lieutenant Malcolm Reed and Ensign Hoshi Sato held hands and laughed together. They were sitting near the far wall of the mess hall and they had a perfect view of the, as they called them, "The Love birds". They usually sat at this location daily after shift because they got a hoot out of watching the cute couple. (Also, it seemed they had nothing better to do.)
"Yeah…They deny that they are a real couple…but you can see the signs…"- Trip added
"What signs, Trip?"-The voice of Captain Archer said as he came up to the table.
"Uh…nothing, Cap'n."-Trip replied, nervously.
"Come on, Trip, tell me what you guys are talking about. I'm a normal person. I can keep a secret…and I love gossip." –The captain pleaded
"Okay, Jon. Haven't you noticed the change in Malcolm and Hoshi lately?" –Trip asked
"Well…Malcolm and Hoshi are spending a lot of time together. They don't get so consumed in their work anymore. They smile and talk a lot more. Also, they seemed more laid back."
"Don't you think that's a little odd?"-Travis asked
"No…I just thought they had a change of perspective."-Archer replied
"Jon…they found…each other."-Trip says
"So, they're a couple."-Jon says
"We're not that sure. They deny it, but they seem to be a couple when they're in the mess hall after shift."-Travis said
"Are you two jealous?" –Archer asked with a laugh
"Why would you say something like that?"-Trip said loudly.
Everyone in the mess hall started looking in the direction of Trip, Travis, and the Captain, even Malcolm and Hoshi.
"Nothing to see here!" –Trip says glaring.
All the diners in the mess turned their attention to something else.
"We're not jealous of Malcolm. He's our friend and Hoshi is really pretty…but we're not jealous." –Travis said
"Somehow, I don't believe you two…and that's not what I meant. I mean you two seem carefully guarding of Malcolm. It's like you two want Malcolm. You two have been spending more time together than Malcolm and Hoshi. Are you two…"
"NO! WE'RE NOT GAY, CAP'N!"-Trip screamed
Everyone in the mess hall filed out, terrified of the chief engineer. (Except Malcolm and Hoshi. They started walking over, still holding hands.)
"Trip, calm down. I'm sorry. Don't overreact."-Archer said quickly
"What's going on over here?" –Malcolm asked as he came up next to the three.
"Nothing, Lieutenant."- Trip growled
"It's seems you are somewhat disturbed…"-Malcolm said
"I'm not disturbed…and I'm not jealous of anybody either."
"Can Hoshi and I say something?" –Malcolm asked
Before anyone could answer, the door to the mess hall opened. T'Pol walked in. She came toward her crewmembers. "Fleeing crewmembers warned me not to go into the mess hall because of an insane chief engineer. I came to the conclusion that they were speaking of Commander Tucker so, I decided to come because I am not afraid of the Commander."
"Thanks for joining us…T'Pol." –Trip said calmly.
"Can Malcolm and I say something, Captain?" –Hoshi asked
Captain Archer opened his mouth to say something, but before any sound came out, the door opened again. This time it revealed a very eager Doctor Phlox. "I heard from Elizabeth Cutler that Commander Tucker had gone violent in the mess. I was hoping to observe this interesting behavior."
"I'm fine now, Phlox, sorry."
"Oh, I'll watch the aftermath then."
"Gossip travels fast on this ship." –Archer said
"It travels much faster on a cargo ship." –Travis added
"Captain, with your permission, can I give them something else, besides Commander Tucker, to talk about?"-Malcolm asked
"Yeah sure, Malcolm. What is it?"
"Today is a very special day for Hoshi and I. I proposed to her this morning. She accepted. We are engaged to be married."
Hoshi held up her hand. On her finger was a very beautiful diamond.
"Wow…that's great. Congratulations."
"When's the wedding?" –Travis asked
"Well…we want the wedding to be in six months. And…if its not too much trouble, on the Enterprise." –Hoshi asked
"Its not too much trouble. We can have all that arranged in six months time. No problem, Hoshi."
"Thank you, Captain." –Malcolm and Hoshi said in unison. The two kissed.
End of Chapter 2
Author's Notes: There will be one more installment of "The Relationship". It's going to be the wedding. I promise it will be complete fluff. See you until then. Keep watching fanfiction.net, Linguistics Database, and/or where no man has gone before archives for the last part.
