Disclaimer: Why write original fic when Tom and Harry already exist?
Paramount owns Star Trek.

Many thanks to my B'Elanna-muse, who is much nicer than Harry and lets
me write the occasional thing about her that isn't completely praising
her to the skies. --No, Harry, I did *not* just say you were a
freaking egotist. Well, yes, I *may* have implied it....

"Harry?" B'Elanna stepped into Harry's Starfleet-issue apartment, just
down the road from her own, and waited for an answer. There was none
forthcoming. However, walking to the bedroom, she saw him lying fast
asleep in bed, and smiled. She'd just wait for him to wake up - he
really was gorgeous when he was asleep.

After a few moments she walked back out into the lounge. There was a
stray PADD on the coffee table; she picked it up, and was about to put
it into a drawer when the contents caught her eye.


'Hey, Har.

God, you are sexy, you know that? You should wear that shirt more
often. Say, for dinner tomorrow? I'll be in my hotel room at 1900.

xox, Tom.'


She swallowed heavily. Tom Paris. That *bastard*! He hadn't even
*been* here since they got back from the Delta Quadrant, and he was
making moves on Harry? He had *no right*!

She set the PADD down angrily, debating whether or not to confront
Harry with it. This wasn't the plan - he was supposed to fall for
*her*, dammit!

A beep startled her, and she spun around. It was coming from his
console, logged into a chatroom similar to the one they'd used on
Voyager. She went over to see what it meant--

--and growled. "Hell of a time to say hi, Paris," she muttered.
Impulsively, she sat down and hit reply.

'Harry's in bed,' she typed, a vicious smile on her freshly
lip-sticked mouth.

'Who r u then?' came the reply.

'His girlfriend. Megan.' She waited for his reaction, wishing she
could see the look on that smug bastard's face. It didn't come. A
moment after she sent the message, he had logged off.

She smirked, stood, and stalked out of Harry Kim's fashionable
Starfleet-issue apartment.
