the-goofball:Seven inclined her head. “Good night, Captain.” She turned around and started towards the door.“Considering our discussion, you might want to start calling me Kathryn in private.”Stopping and turning halfway back, Seven looked at Janeway. “If you insist I will comply,” she replied. “But to me you will always be my Captain.”Wow, it’s already been over three years since I posted RRIF?And someone just dug out this gifset with a quote and Janeway’s reaction - which is just perfect (errr… the gif, not the quote).To celebrate the three years, I’ll leave a little bit more to read below the cut :o)Seven inclined her head. “Good night, Captain.” She turned around and started towards the door.“Considering our discussion, you might want to start calling me Kathryn in private.”Stopping and turning halfway back, Seven looked at Janeway. “If you insist I will comply,” she replied. “But to me you will always be my Captain.”The way she said ‘my Captain’ made it feel like a caress and Janeway swayed softly on her feet.Seven faced her. “Might I inquire to your plans for dinner tomorrow?”Before Janeway knew it, she stood in front of Seven and smiled broadly at her. “Are you… are you asking me out on a date?”, she wanted to know, feeling almost giddy with excitement.Seven straightened up. “According to my research-“Janeway put a finger on Seven’s mouth and for a moment she was distracted by the feel of the soft lips underneath her finger. Slowly she lifted her gaze and looked back into Seven’s eyes. “Are you asking me out on a date?”Seven gave a curt nod.Janeway smiled and cradled Seven’s face tenderly. “Dinner would be lovely,” she said, before she embraced Seven.There was a slight hesitation, then Seven put her arms around Janeway and pulled her flush against her.Full on body contact. It felt so – perfect.Janeway felt Seven’s rib cage expand and then heard her soft exhale, her arms tightening as she lowered her head beside Janeway’s. Leaning her cheek against Seven’s head, Janeway’s hand started to move on its own volition to the nape of Seven’s neck and her fingers began to stroke the warm and soft skin there.A shiver went through Seven and she lifted her head. Impossible blue eyes bore into Janeway’s.“I need to go,” she said quietly.“I know,” Janeway said with a soft smile. “You have an objective.”“Yes,” Seven replied. “That, however, is not the reason why I need to go.”“What is it then?”Seven reached up, untangled Janeway’s arms from around her neck and stepped back. “Because otherwise I might revert back to when I believed that this pretence about getting to know each other is a waste of time, when you want to have intercourse with the person you desire,” Seven said, still grasping Janeway’s fingers.Apparently, Janeway’s nervous system knew right away what Seven meant, because a surge of passion shot through her while her mind was still processing the words.Janeway tightened her grip on Seven to steady herself. Closing her eyes, she tried to get at least a semblance of control over herself. Then she remembered the feel of the skin underneath her fingertips. Janeway’s mouth went dry and she moistened her lips – which reminded her of Seven’s. She opened her eyes focusing right onto those full lips.“I believe kissing you would be an unwise decision.”Janeway nodded without lifting her eyes. “Yes, it would be. I might want to agree about wasting time and such.”As Janeway looked up into Seven’s eyes, her pupils were wide open, leaving only small slivered blue circles around them.“I really need to go now.” Seven’s tone was low.“I know.” Squeezing her fingers lightly, Janeway stepped back until their fingers parted, sliding against each other. “And as much as I want you – and I really do – I need you to go, for both our sakes.”Seven inclined her head. “Once again, good night, Captain.” Another caress with her voice.Janeway smiled. “Good night, Seven.”This time nothing stopped Seven on the way out and soon Janeway was alone. Alone with her befuddled mind, her whirling emotions and her raging hormones.In a daze she moved towards a chair and let herself fall into it. What had just happened? For months Janeway had reminded herself about the many reasons why she couldn’t and shouldn’t get involved with Seven. After arguing for hours with herself she had finally accepted that it wouldn’t, that it couldn’t ever happen.Had Seven really just barged in here and – Janeway’s gaze flickered to the time piece on the mantle and she snorted softly – in less than an hour had her convinced otherwise? Very efficient, Seven, she thought dryly.All of a sudden she felt exhausted and despite the fact that her mind would most certainly keep her awake for hours, she decided to go to bed.To her surprise, Janeway was asleep in minutes, getting the best rest she’d had in quite some time.In case you’re curious now, here’s the link to the story :o) -- source link
