Last time:

Tuvok opted to sleeping on the sofa.  Even though it was *his* quarters, he didn't trust himself enough to be in the same room, let alone the same bed as Harry. //I wonder if I should let him know I'll be going into pon farr
tomorrow night?//  He mused to himself.  Taking a long hard look at the door to the bedroom, //Nah//

And now:

Room Mates Part Nine

by Christine

"Aaaargh!"  Having had enough, B'Elanna threw the covers off of herself.  She could not believe how loudly the Captain snored. //Damn, I'm surprised she hasn't inhaled the covers yet!//  she angrily mused to herself.  Grabbing her pillow, she made her way to the door and out into the living area.  Growling the whole time, she padded her way to the sofa. //Maybe now I'll finally be able to get some sleep.//

Oblivious to B'Elanna's departure, Kathryn rolled onto her side.  "Oh,
Chakotay!  I never knew you had a tattoo *there*!"  she muttered dreamily in her sleep.

******************

Two hours had passed since he had locked Tom in the bathroom. //I think I've punished him long enough,//  Chakotay thought as he sat up in bed.  Getting out of bed, he walked over to the door to the bathroom.  He keyed in his access code and stood back as the door opened.  To his amazement, Tom had taken up shop in the bathtub. //He looks so cute curled up like that.//

Hearing the door to the bathroom open, Tom remained silent and unmoving.  He had no idea why Chakotay decided to come in, except maybe to relieve himself.

To his surprise, Chakotay softly walked over to where he was lying and
picked him up out of the tub. //The fucker's strong, I'll give him that,//
Tom silently mused.
