The BLTS Archive- Missing Scene: Cathexis by Joanne Collins (luchenbackoutlaw@gmail.com) --- Siubhan wrote (on the C/P list): >You know, someone has to write a missing scene from that episode >where Chakotay takes over Tom's body, has him strip off all his >clothes, run his hands all over his naked body, then masturbate :D Okay, I'll have a try at it...kind of. This story is kind of inspired by my P/K story True Love Call ;-). **Chakotay. //Tom. DISCLAIMER: Everything you recognise belongs to Paramount/Viacom. They keep refusing to come up with an arrangement about Tom or Chakotay . All original ideas and characters are the sole property of the author. ASC archive: Yes. BLTS: Yes. R'Rain's archive: Yes. Anywhere else (except personal use, sharing with friends, etc): Ask first! I'll probably say yes. Once again, this is all Siubhan's fault. Well, okay, I probably helped . --- Tom didn't want to stay in Sickbay. It wasn't as if he *were* sick, but The Doctor and Captain Janeway insisted he stay overnight, "just in case". "Just in case I get bored out of my skull?" he asked himself. Gods this was *so* depressing. Just because he couldn't remember doing something that the sensors said he *had*, he was now under some kind of house arrest, stuck in Sickbay with The Doctor (who had seemed almost *relieved* when Tom deactivated him after five hands of poker), Kes (who was off duty), and an unconscious Chakotay. "So you think you'd be able to think of something better to do if Chakotay was awake and aware?" Tom asked himself. Oh, he *could* think of things to do if Chakotay was awake, but if Chakotay were awake, he'd never have the chance to do them. Tom sighed, and looked over at Chakotay, lying helpless on the biobed, "Yeah, if he were awake, I could go over there, kiss those *lips*, stroke that body, make him moan and shiver for me. Then we'd be back in the Alpha Quadrant. He doesn't want me, he never did. Those kisses back in the Maquis weren't a prelude to *anything*. Hell, he probably does that with *all* the new recruits," he finished bitterly, deciding to turn in, as there wasn't much else he could do. Tom lay in the darkness, half-asleep. He began to softly move one of his hands over his cheek. **Yes, that's right, Tom. \\Who are you? **Does it matter? \\I guess not. I guess you're the alien? **You *could* say that.... Now, unbutton your gown. \\What now? **Put your hand under the gown. Do whatever feels good. Tom caressed a nipple with his fingers, moaning softly. **Take off your gown, and your underwear. \\Sure, why not. I guess this means we're having sex. **Yeah, I guess it does. Does that bother you? \\No, not really. You aren't Chakotay... **..... \\What? **I...didn't recognise the reference, that's all. \\Chakotay's the man over there. Tom made a gesture with his hand towards the other occupied bed. **Handsome specimen. \\And he wouldn't touch me with a ten-foot pole. **And you'd like him to touch you with a ten-foot pole, whatever that is? \\Not exactly. Close enough. **What exactly would you like him to do? \\I'd like him to treat me like I was human. That would be a start. Then, maybe, I'd like him to kiss me, caress my body, make love to me more completely than I've ever been made love to before. \\Wishful thinking. He'd never look twice at me, of course. If he's interested in *anyone*, it's B'Elanna or Captain Janeway. **He's an idiot. \\Thanks. Wish you could tell him that. Hey, maybe you could go into *his* mind...oh, no, he's in a coma. Ah well. **Not possible, then? \\No. **Well, then, seeing that you *are* naked...why don't we...take advantage of that? \\ Good idea. Mmmmm. **What are you doing? \\Stroking my chest. It feels good. **It does. \\Wait till you feel *this*. Ahhhhh. **What-what's *that*? \\I'm stroking my penis. **That feels *really* good. \\You're telling me? **Tom...speed up. \\Okay.... Oh, gods, yes, Chakotay....aaahhh! **Wow. \\ You liked that? **Did you? \\Oh, *yes*. Sorry I called Chakotay's name at the end. **That's all right. You obviously have deep feelings for the man. \\I think I'm in love with him. I just wish... **Don't give up hope, Tom. You never know. \\ Great as that was...I need some sleep. **Goodnight, Tom. \\Goodnight. Thank you. **...Goodbye Tom. --- The next day, Tom discovered that the alien presence had been Chakotay. He couldn't face the Commander, so he hid out in his quarters. The door chime rang, and Tom was shocked to see the Commander. "Commander...I..." "What? Do you want me to treat me like you're human? Do you want me to kiss you? Do you want me to caress your body? Do you want me to make love to you more completely than you've ever been made love to before?" "Chakotay, you know that if I'd had any idea..." "If you'd had any idea it was me, I'd never have known how you felt about me." "Getting a good laugh, Chakotay? Or do you want to have sex again, face to face this time?" "Tom...no. I'm not laughing at you. I'm *glad* you told me. I want to treat you like you're human. I apologise if you think I haven't been. I want to kiss you, I want to caress your body, and I *definitely* want to make love to you more completely than you've ever been made love to before." "Really?" "Really. If you do want me?" "You need to ask after last night?" "I guess not," and the older man closed the distance between them, gathering Tom into his arms. --- The End
