STAR TREK IMAGINES

Captain Jean-Luc Picard

"Jean-luc! You traitor!"
I chased after him when he snatched my rock samples, four of us had beamed down to the planet and we were having a little competition to see who could get the most samples collected the fastest.
"Cool it you two!"
Lieutenant Commander Denver shouted at us, she had always been a bit of bureaucrat when came it to little away missions, more concerned about getting things done than having any fun while we were doing it.
Jean-Luc handed me back my samples and we gather around Denver.
"Stargazer four to beam up"
I bounced down the steps, handing off my samples to the science officer.
I won our little bet, coming in with 20 different samples, Jean-Luc came in second with 15.
I cringed when Denver interrupted Jean-Luc, congratulating him and ignoring me.
Despite the fact that we don't interact that much, Denver seemed to be extremely jealous whenever he would come near me, she would invent little emergency's that didn't require his attention but insist that they do it together.
It got to a point where I had to go to the captain because she would request that I don't go on away missions.
I hadn't said anything to anybody else though, I don't want to cause more problems.
"The captain is holding a little dinner for us.. senior officers do you want to come with me?"
She paused and looked over her shoulder, clearly trying to make me seem small.
I was about ready to smack her, but there's too many witnesses.
"No thank you, I'm having dinner with y/n tonight and anyway if the captain is holding a little dinner for senior officers then I certainly wouldn't want to go with you"
Jean-Luc grabbed my hand and pulled me forward, we were both cracking up once we were out of ear shot.
"Lieutenant L/n to the bridge"
I sighed as the second the doors to my quarters shut, I got called to the bridge
"Why don't you get dinner started while I go see what the captain wants?"
Jean-luc agreed and I speedily made my way to the bridge.
My guard immediately went up to see Denver standing next to the captain whispering in his ear.
"Commander Denver is accusing you of starting a relationship with a senior officer, and you getting special privileges"
The captain spoke sadly, like he didn't believe her but he had to sound like he did just to keep the peace.
"My relationship with Jean-Luc is purely Platonic, we have dinner in my quarters occasionally because we're good friends and I would never ever use special privileges to try and get ahead"
I explained, exercising my restraint, I should've expected something this petty from her.
"Oh really? What about those little loving glances? Or your little games on away missions? What about all the little touches, hand holding, pecks on the cheek?"
Denver got in my face as she spoke, brushing her spit off my face I opened my mouth to respond when Jean-Luc interrupted.
"I don't recall you being in a position to try and control anyone on board relationships, and even if y/n and I were dating both of us care to much about our jobs to let something like a relationship get in the way"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me away from her, I noticed the captain wave us off as a form of silent dismissal.
Once we got in the door of the turbolift, I broke down in his arms I really didn't care at that point how much of a fool I'm making of myself.
Regardless Jean-luc held onto me and led me to my room, He sat us both down on the edge of my bed and hooked his left arm around my back, and brushed my hair out of my face with his right.
"I'm sorry, she's been doing this for so long I can't take it anymore"
I buried my face in his neck, I'd calmed down substantially now but that underlying stress was still there.
"If you'd said something I could've helped you y/n"
I nodded, pulling away slowly he kept his left arm around me and pulled me down next to him
"Listen whatever happens next, I'll always be there for you but you've got to tell me when somethings wrong"
I agreed
"I will, I just don't want to cause unnecessary problems for everybody just because someone else was being petty"
He rolled over and kissed my forehead, we laid together in a comfortable silence for at least ten minutes until the comm beeped again
"Jean-Luc! Y/n! We need you on the b.. ri.. ge
It's the Fer...engi!"
