Chapter 6
With a few parting shots from Odo's ship the two of them started back to DS9. Odo had just finished plotting in the rest of the course and was about to begin regeneration when he heard Major Kira's strange request.
"Hold me, Odo."
"Major?"
"Hold me."
Put in such simple terms and from such a beautiful woman, how could he refuse, but, "Kira, I need to regenerate."
"I don't mind, Odo."
He moved across to her and did as she asked. After a few moments he turned to her and said, "I can't stay like this much longer."
Kira nodded her head to acknowledge what he had said.
She felt him change into liquid, and rap his substance around her like a blanket. It made her feel safe, and there they slept. Him comforting the one he loved, she being comforted by the one she loved. Only neither of them knew it.
When they finally got back to DS9, Captain Sisko was waiting for them at the airlock. But when only Kira stepped out of the airlock, Sisko began to worry.
"Where's Odo?" he enquired.
"He's safe" she answered.
"Major?"
"He's safe and he's happy. That's all you should care about."
Sisko noticed her glance at the padd in her hand.
"Should I start to look for a new head of security?"
"No, but you should keep 0800 hours free tomorrow morning."
"Why?"
"Because Odo is coming to see you. Remember?"
She handed him the padd. He looked down at it and read,
I am Odo and I will see you 0800 hours tomorrow morning, Captain.
And with that, Sisko handed the padd back to Kira and walked off without another word. He had been a little shocked by what he had read. Kira smirked. Sisko's reaction was just as she had pictured it. As Odo transformed back into him original human state, he saw Kira's face.
"What, may I ask, is so funny Major?"
"Nothing Odo. Nothing at all."
