Staring out at the endless expanse of stars, you found solace on the observation deck of the USS Voyager. Those countless shimmering specks represented not just the vastness of space, but also the secret you had been carrying since the beginning of your journey.
You and Captain Kathryn Janeway had been inseparable ever since your arrival on Voyager. Eventually, the chemistry between you both evolved into something deeper, and a romance had blossomed. However, your unknown secret was preventing you from fully embracing the relationship.
Kathryn joined you on the observation deck, her mere presence sending a warm shiver down your spine. She leaned against the railing but kept a respectful distance, allowing you space to gather your thoughts.
"Something on your mind, (Y/N)?" Kathryn asked softly, her tone filled with concern.
You took a deep breath, gathering your courage. "Yes, Kathryn. There's something I need to tell you. Something I should have shared a long time ago."
The captain's blue eyes searched yours, filled with curiosity mixed with a hint of worry. She gestured for you to continue, her trust evident in her gaze.
"I'm not from the same time as you all," you finally confessed, your voice barely above a whisper.
Kathryn's brows furrowed in confusion for a moment before realization dawned on her face. "You're a time traveler?"
You nodded, relief flooding through you as the weight of your secret lifted. "Yes, I am. Before I joined Voyager, I was pulled out of my own timeline and sent back to the 24th century."
"Sent back?" Kathryn's voice wavered, her curiosity turning to concern.
"Temporal anomalies. They're unstable where I come from. I was caught in one and ended up here," you explained, walking closer to Kathryn while avoiding her piercing gaze.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? We could've tried to find a way to send you back to your own time," Kathryn said, her voice tinged with sadness.
A tremor ran through your body as you reached out and gently took Kathryn's hand. "Because I didn't want to jeopardize what we have. I didn't want you to see me as someone who might disappear at any moment. I wanted to give you stability, happiness."
Kathryn's grip tightened around your hand, anchoring you to the present. "You don't get to decide what's best for me, (Y/N). We're in this journey together, and that means facing challenges and uncertainties side by side. Don't shut me out because of fears that might never materialize."
Tears welled up in your eyes, your emotions threatening to overwhelm you. "I'm sorry, Kathryn. I've been a fool. I should have trusted you with the truth from the start."
Kathryn took a step closer, her other hand reaching out to wipe away a stray tear trailing down your cheek. "No more hiding secrets, (Y/N). We'll face whatever comes our way, one day at a time."
The honesty in Kathryn's voice filled you with renewed hope. You rested your head against her shoulder, finding comfort in her warmth. "Thank you for understanding, Kathryn."
She held you close, her embrace a testament to her unwavering support. "Always, my love. Now, let's find a way to navigate through this space-time conundrum together."
As the two of you stood wrapped in each other's arms, staring out at the cosmos, you couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and excitement. You had finally shared your secret with the woman you loved, and together, you would face the unknown, seeking a future where love and understanding triumphed over temporal discrepancies.
In the vastness of space, with Voyager as your beacon of hope, you knew that the stars held infinite possibilities, and finally, you were ready to embrace them with Kathryn by your side.
