Chapter 6

Lovers

Odo sat alone at a table staring into space. And when I say he was staring into space, he literally was. I mean like, out the window. He was thinking about his home world, again, when Kira sat down at the table.

" Hey, Odo. Odo. HELLO? Whoo hoo. . . earth to Odo. . ." Kira started waving her hand in front of his face. Odo jumped ten feet in the air and hit his head on the ceiling. Don't ask me how because the ceiling where they were was only eight feet up. Anyways, Kira smiled and laughed. Just as she was about to ask what he was thinking about, a man walked up to their table.

" Can I help you?" Kira asked.

" Don't you remember me? We had a wonderful time talking last night. Actually, I did most of the talking, but no worries. Who is this?" The man stared at Odo with disgust in his eyes.

" I am Odo, Chief of Security on DS9 and . . . " Kira grabbed Odo' s hand and smiled up at the man.

" . . . we are lovers. Right, baby?." The man's mouth hung open. He couldn't believe it. LOVERS? Kira laughed. " Can't you see the fire in his eyes when he looks at me?"

" Excuse me? Fire?"

" Yes. The fire. Can you see? Look in his eyes."

" I don't see any fire. "

" You don't?"

" Nope."

" No? Look again. " Kira stared as well.

Odo was getting uncomfortable. He squirmed in his chair trying to escape but it was no use. Kira was holding him down to tightly. Meanwhile, Kira and the man were still talking.

" Are you absolutely sure you can not see the fire."

" I'm telling you. I don't see it. "

" Geez." Kira leaned back in here chair and rolled her eyes. "Someone needs glasses."

Odo sighed. Now that they were done talking, maybe he could leave. But sadly, no, Kira was not quite finished with him yet.

" Well, it doesn't matter that there isn't any fire even though I was quite positive it was there. All that matters is that we love each other. Right my sweet baby darling Odo?" Before Odo could answer though, Kira grabbed his face and planted a BIG kiss on Odo. The man stared in horror and stalked away. Kira stopped kissing him and took her hand off of Odo's hand.

" Thanks. You really saved me there. That man sure was pretty ugly." Kira got out of her seat and left. Odo wanted to say something to her as she walked off, but by the time he thought of it, she was gone. Odo sighed and was about to start singing. And not because Kira kissed him, he just felt like singing. He opened his mouth but snapped it back closed. Did he really want to do that? Yes. Odo began to sing and while he was singing, Julian walked over to Odo to tell him that Dax needed him, but he jumped on the table with Odo and they sang, sang, sang. Now that was a sight to see.
