Chakotay felt his arm tighten around something soft. He couldn't tell you what it was, but he was too tired to bother finding out. He sunk back into his pillow and tried to continue to sleep. Again he was bothered by something in the bed next to him. His unsteady mind tried to figure it out piece by piece. Body… it had to be a body. He could tell by he way it responded when he tightened his grip. The body moved closer up against him. Who was it thought? Chakotay squeezed his eyes shut tight and opened them slowly. He smiled warmly when he noticed the auburn hair a few inches from his face.

"How did you get here?" he whispered to himself. Yawning as quietly as he could he carefully removed his arm from around her waist. Gradually, Chakotay moved his legs from the center of the bed to the floor. Still smiling Chakotay ran his hand threw his hair took a seat in a chair next to the bed. Looking around the room Chakotay sensed things were a bit different. For instance, that wasn't his bag on the floor. Or, his closet was on the left side not the right side of the room. In all, it wasn't his room. He would have thought about it some more, but his attentions were drawn towards movement on the bed. Chakotay watched attentively as Kathryn's hand slid over the space where Chakotay was sleeping. Chakotay chuckled softly. She was surveying her options. He watched with wonder as she spread out diagonally on the bed, her bare arm over the side of the bed. It's funny sometimes to wake up next to someone you've known for a good number of years. It's like meeting a whole other person. They've never looked so foreign yet so beautiful. Feeling the need to reach out and touch her, Chakotay cradled the hand she so easily let roll of the side of the bed. He gazed at her hand, as it searched for his to hold. When her hand found his she locked her fingers around it. Chakotay grinned and stroked her hand with his thumb. He almost laughed as he noticed he had never touched a hand so soft or delicate as hers. Chakotay observed her face carefully. He noticed how her lips parted gently as his hand caressed hers. Her eyes fluttered open, and then almost immediately fluttered shut. Then she began to stir. Chakotay sighed; he would have enjoyed sitting there studying her further as she slept. Then again she had to wake sometime. This time when her eyes fluttered open, they stayed open and fixed their gaze on him. For what felt like a lifetime, the two stared at each other. It was Kathryn who smiled first followed by a juvenile grin on Chakotay's face.

"Good morning." She whispered coyly.

"Good morning." Chakotay responded in the same tone of voice. Kathryn closed her eyes leisurely and yawned. When she opened them, she motioned for him the sit on the bed. He willingly moved to sit by her.

"Rough night?" Kathryn asked timidly. Chakotay shook his head.

"Actually, it was very comfortable. I slept well." Chakotay looked down at her.

"Did I wake you?" Chakotay asked. Kathryn shook her head.

"No, you didn't." she lied, but it really didn't matter.

"When did you wake up?" Chakotay shrugged.

"Ten minutes ago." Kathryn nodded and smiled.

"Ten minutes? What did you do for ten minutes in a chair? What ever it was it mustn't have been very entertaining." Chakotay arched an eyebrow.

"I beg to differ, it was very entertaining." Kathryn laughed quietly.

"Then what did you do?" Chakotay stopped smiling and became frightfully serious.

"I watched you sleep." Kathryn didn't answer, but instead studied him, as if she was trying to make sense of the look on his face.

"Like I said, it must not have been very interesting." Chakotay took a deep breath.

"Have I ever told you, that you're very beautiful when you sleep?" Kathryn sat up and leaned against the headboard.

"No, you haven't." Chakotay moved in closer.

"Then maybe I should." Kathryn reacted, moving even closer.

"Maybe you should." Chakotay brushed his lips against her neck and whispered into her ear.

"You're very beautiful when you sleep Kathryn." She shivered, this time not from the cold, or the loneliness, but from anticipation.

"Thank you." She whispered.

"My pleasure." Chakotay responded. Tearing away from her establishing eye contact. Chakotay's lips soon found hers, and savored a long kiss. Again he pulled away from her, searching for permission. It was granted when Kathryn wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face closer to hers.

"Again." She whispered. Chakotay slip her hands down to his waist and rested his hands at the back of her head. Slowly he lowed her body underneath his.

"Again." Chakotay repeated.

"Again." Kathryn nodded and her lips slightly parted at the touch of his.
