Harry Kim and Tom Paris were on there way for some holodeck time they had won playing pool. They were having an interesting conversation about Harry. . . it seems Harry was lusting over someone AGAIN!

"Come on Harry!" Tom said, then saw that people were looking at them as they passed and decided to lower his voice. "I can see that look in your eyes. You always get it that look when your lusting over someone!"

"I wouldn't call it lusting every time, Tom," Harry commented drily to his friend. "Well, except with Seven, but I also liked her for who she was, not only her personal appearance," Harry finally admitted.

"Well, who is it now? A hologram, an ex-Borg, the wrong twin, a girl from a xena-phobic species, what else?" Tom wondered

"If you really want to know you have to promise not to freak and run down the corridor screaming like a mad man and hate me," Harry said looking into Tom's eyes.

"Harry I'm your friend; you can trust me," Tom said sincerely.

"Well. . ." Harry started out. "Another guy. . . I met him a long time ago and our friendship grew to love." Hoping he didn't give away too much to Tom.

"Well who is it?!" Tom said sounding like a little kid "Do I know him? Tell me!!" They were standing outside the holodeck now and Tom was putting in a program that would take them to a local cadet bar he used to go to.

"Well, Tom you do know him. . ." Harry said hesitantly. "I know you probably don't, but. . . I love you, Tom" Harry said, waiting for Tom to laugh in his face.

At those words Tom froze and looked at Harry. Realizing they were standing outside the holodeck, he told the computer to play the simulation and they entered. "Well, what do you know. All this time I was worried you would deny me if i told you," Tom said

"Oh, Tom," Harry said sounding like he was going to cry.

"Hey, wanna play a game?" Tom said with a seductive smile on his face.

"Like what?" Harry said sounding puzzled

"Humor me. . ." Tom said, laughing at the look on Harry's face.
