"Watch where you're going Paris!" B'Elanna smacked into the cocky little blond, knocking him flat to the ground. Harry laughed at the scene unfolding before him. He was however, very curious as to where the two were hurrying off to. They certainly didn't have a relationship… after all, even he, the fresh out of Fleet grad, could tell that Tom had the hots for the Captain, and B'Elanna had it bad for Commander Chakotay. Or so he thought. He wondered if there was more, that he didn't know. But B'Elanna or Tom certainly would have spilled the beans by now…after all they always sat together at breakfast. Come to think of it, B'Elanna was starting to warm up to Tom… Harry smiled and rolled his eyes.
There was just no way, Tom would be dead if he even dared to ask B'Elanna out on a date. After all it was she who reminded him on a regular basis that he was in fact a pig, scoundrel, rogue, jerk and a host of random Klingon curses all in the same day. Harry stayed put as he watched the exchange between the Lieutenants. They were arguing and pointing fingers in opposite directions of the ship. Then they each turned to the left, nearly running to someone or something, or somewhere. Tom's quarters were to the left… Harry shook his head again and decided it was time to turn in for the night. His imagination was getting the best of him.
As he walked down the corridor, he saw the Captain and Commander, standing side by side, just outside the Commander's quarters. Harry walked by quickly, as it seemed to him they were engrossed in a serious conversation. But as he passed, he slowed down just enough to see that the Captain had tears in her eyes and the Commander had his hand gently stroking her arm as he whispered something quietly to the obviously upset Captain. Harry watched as the Captain nodded her head at the Commander and touched his cheek, walking off as the Commander watched her leave. Harry walked as fast as he could past Chakotay, acting as if he had seen nothing. But as he walked into his quarters that night he could hardly stop from wondering just what was going on. After all the Captain and Commander had been spending an awful lot of time together, from breakfast to dinner, to time at Sandrine's .It left him to ponder what exactly was going on. He decided to leave it till morning, he had an early shift. Then he could ask Tom and B'Elanna some questions. His eyes shut and sleep came quickly to the young ensign.
