Hidden Stars (Kathryn Janeway)

You were quietly sitting in the mess hall, nursing a steaming cup of coffee, desperately trying to conceal your admiration for Captain Kathryn Janeway. As a junior officer aboard the USS Voyager, you were often assigned to the bridge, where Kathryn commanded with poise and authority.

But despite your every effort to keep it a secret, you suspected she knew. You noticed her gentle smiles in your direction, her lingering gazes during briefings, and the subtle nods of encouragement. Yet, you were too afraid to confront the truth.

One quiet evening, as the crew completed their duties and the hum of the warp core echoed through the ship, you decided to take a different route back to your quarters. Lost in your thoughts, you suddenly found yourself outside the captain's ready room.

Curiosity and a wave of courage swelled within you, urging you to knock on the door. With a deep breath, you pushed the button, hearing the distinctive sound of permission to enter.

"Come in," Kathryn's voice called out, her tone warm and welcoming.

Stepping through the door, you saw her seated behind her desk, engrossed in a PADD filled with reports. She looked up, a small smile playing on her lips as she saw you. "Lieutenant, what can I do for you?"

Heart pounding, you stumbled over your words, suddenly unsure of why you had come. "Captain, I... uh... just wanted to check if you needed anything. I mean... if there's anything I can do."

Kathryn raised an eyebrow playfully as she leaned back in her chair. "Is that so? Well, as a matter of fact, I do have a request for you."

Your eyes widened, not expecting her response. "Oh, really? What is it, Captain?"

Kathryn's smile grew wider. "I've been meaning to catch up on some holonovels, but my usual crew for such activities seems to be... incredibly busy lately. Would you care to join me?" She gestured to the empty seat across from her desk.

You couldn't believe your ears. The opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with the captain was beyond your wildest dreams. "I would be honored, Captain."

For the next few hours, you and Kathryn delved into immersive holonovels, exploring different epochs, solving puzzles, and laughing at unexpected twists. The walls around you seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of you lost in the vastness of virtual worlds.

During a particularly suspenseful scene, you glanced over to see Kathryn watching you with soft eyes, her expression filled with something deeper than fleeting friendship. At that moment, all your fear melted away, overwhelmed by the sheer affection in her gaze.

"How did you know?" you whispered, barely audible over the holonovel's soundtrack.

Kathryn paused the program, her full attention now on you. "I've known for some time, my dear. A captain is trained to understand the nuances of her crew, to notice shifts in behavior and subtle changes in dynamics. I've seen the way you look at me with a mixture of admiration and desire."

Heat crept up your neck, but you couldn't look away from her intense gaze, searching for something within you. "I... I didn't want it to be a hindrance, Captain. I didn't want-"

She gently placed her hand on yours, suspending the words in your throat. "You've never hindered me," she assured, her voice gentle, yet resolute. "Your feelings, your presence, have only brightened my days. And I have to confess, I share those feelings."

Your heart sang as her words resonated within you. You had imagined this moment countless times, but never in your wildest dreams did you think it would become a reality.

In that quiet, private space, the bond between you grew stronger. There were no longer unspoken words or unrequited feelings. There was only Kathryn, and you, united by the stars that graced the infinite expanse of space.

As the holographic stars blinked into existence around you within the holodeck, your spirits soared. In this moment, you knew that love could navigate the darkest voids, and that together, you would navigate the eons of the Delta Quadrant and beyond.
