STAR TREK IMAGINES

Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Jean-luc sank further down into the comfy chair he'd settled into, beach waves crashing behind him as ambient noise as he reread another one of his volumes of classic literature.
Settled into the couch on the opposite side of him, with the next volume of classics, you pulled your glass to your lips taking a small sip of the cool liquid.
Vacation had been treating you both kindly, the small villa that had been gifted to you for the month was far enough away from most people that you both had the rare gift of silence.
The sun was beginning to set, the sky stained pinks and oranges.
"Are you tired darling?"
Jean-luc gently asked, noticing you rub your eyes.
"A little bit, we have been traveling all day"
For many years the ruler of the planet Endosia had a sort of obsession over the aesthetic of the 1950s, she along with the villa, gifted us a 1954 white corvette to travel in.
Setting his book down on the ground, Jean-Luc crossed over to your couch, letting you wrap your arms around his shoulders you pulled yourself up half way before quietly asking
"What shall we do tomorrow angel?"
"I have several ideas darling, but you'll find out tomorrow"
You whined, pressing a kiss to his cheek before dramatically throwing your legs over the side of the couch, walking toward the bedroom with your arms thrown around each other.

The next morning, You woke up to a knock on the door. You sped up towards the door, seeing a delivery man through the window.
"Here you go, have a nice day"
The postman passed a package almost as long as your torso to you, before bouncing down the stairs.
You returned back to your room, Jean-Luc was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.
Setting the package down on the edge of the bed, you joined him, wrapping your arms around his waist. Nestling against his neck, Jean-luc turned around returning the action.
"Who was at the door darling?"
"Delivery man, thought you'd want to open it too"
"Mmhm"
Jean-luc gently pulled you away, only so he could press kisses from your lips to your collarbone. You stayed in this position for awhile, savoring each other's presence.
Finally parting, you linked your hand with his before sitting down on the edge of the bed.
Ripping open the box, you gasped as you pulled a dress from the box, a letter falling out in the process.
"Dearest Y/n, and Jean-Luc
        I'm pleased to invite you both to a gala we're holding tonight, enclosed is a dress and suit for you both please enjoy we hope to see you there at 7 in the town hall"
Jean-Luc read it before pulling a suit out of the bottom as well.
You were listening but your eyes were taken up with the dress you held against you, the golden shimmery fabric caught the light in a beautiful way, the skirt just barely touched the floor, pearls cascaded down the back and wrapped around the front forming a silhouette on the dress.
"It's still early darling, shall I get breakfast?"
You nodded before grabbing hangers for both of your clothes.

The beginnings of evening had settled now, Jean-Luc was absorbed in his book once again and you'd been listening to a radio show that was played exclusively on planet, when you noticed the time.
"Crap, we've got to go honey"
He let out his own exclamation before following you up the stairs.
It took a collective 20 minutes before you were dressed and in the car, you were still fixing your hair and adjusting your makeup.
Jean-Luc was driving extra carefully, keeping an eye on you and the road.
"You look stunning darling"
Jean-Luc stated, as he pulled into a space, finally taking his hand off the wheel, wrapping one arm around your waist and the other came to rest on your cheek, pulling you into a kiss.
"I'm so glad to have met you, my angel"
You whispered the last part, a little smile playing on your lips.
You both noticed someone waving to your car, Jean-Luc laughed quietly before climbing out of the car, you followed suit, seeing a woman with 2 security officers standing on the stairs.
Jean-Luc linked his arm with yours, squeezing your hand.
Kira was delighted to see you both, she and her security officers both welcomed you inside warmly.
"Did you notice that man over there?"
Jean-Luc motioned to a man standing next to the door, with a giant scar over his eye.
"He's certainly noticed you"
Jean-Luc pulled your chair out for you.
"We had a little argument back when I was in the academy"
"You didn't-"
"Oh no, he's had that scar forever, but one of us didn't really fight fair last time"
"Not That you're one to hold a grudge"
Jean-luc smiled, before Kira loudly tapped her glass calling the rooms attention.
Jean-Luc and you spent the rest of the night side by side, a sense of pure joy coursed through you, telling stories with the man you loved.
The golden light from the chandelier in the center of the room bathed the room, an orchestra at the other end playing just loud enough that you couldn't ignore the music but could still hear everyone.
The night was winding down, Jean-Luc had pulled you outside, the music could still be heard but now out of view of the others, Jean-Luc let his guard fall and was as affectionate as usual.
Slowly swaying in a circle, Jean-Luc opened his mouth to speak when the man from earlier suddenly burst through the door to the terrace.
"You!"
Jean-Luc protectively pushed you behind him, the man threw himself at Jean-Luc, his hand reaching for his throat.
Grabbing the man's arms, you struggled but he threw his arm back, hitting you in the jaw so hard you stumbled backwards. The man was coming after you, reaching back the first thing that lifted was the stool, that previously held your drinks. You broke it over his head, he stumbled over his own feet. Opening the door, Kira and her security both stood, having heard the commotion.
Suddenly, after a loud thunk and a descending scream, Jean-Luc emerged, pointing outside.
"You're gonna need a doctor for him"

The worst of his injuries was a busted lip, but no one seemed to be angry at him, instead you both sat outside, an orange shock blanket wrapped around you.
Jean-Luc seemed deep in thought, before he fished the small box out of his pocket.
"Well, since nothings been according to plan today, I might as well just ask"
Popping open the box, You gasped at the silver ring in the box, a red and blue gemstone in the center.
"Will you marry me, my darling?"
"Of course, angel"
