J/7 short. Also based on the songs challenge from the Voyager Conspiracy forum. Italicised parts are the lyrics that inspired the story.
Tis PG. Look away now if Janeway/Seven doesn't float your boat. :)
As Chakotay leaves to find another bottle of wine, I suddenly feel your knee underneath the table. This time you don’t move it away. This is new. As spark of hope ignites at the contact and spreads throughout my body. The heat travels to my fingertips which seem now to burn against the cool wine glass and I’m about to say it. This time I really will say it. The temptation is brimming inside me. In fact, want to shout:
He only wants a pretty face by him so how could you want him when you know you could have me.
As my anger subsides, I smile at my own arrogance. I shake my head to clear my thoughts but when I look up I see you’re smiling back.
“I know, and I don’t.”
“What?!”
“I know what he wants. I don’t want him. I just wanted to make sure that I can, indeed, have you.”
“How…. wait… what?!”
“I’ve been waiting for precisely 3.2 years for you to approach me, Kathryn. I felt an appeal to your jealous streak was finally in order. It seems I’ve succeeded. You do need to be more careful in the future about which thoughts you choose to vocalise, however.”
