Eye Contact

by Karin

She was sitting in her chair, he next to her. Nothing was going on the bridge. Nothing? Yes, on the surface. But deeper down the air was humbling with electricity. And in the center of this was the pair in the middle.
She's watching his face while he's working. Her instincts kicked in and the moment he looked up, her eyes were on her work. Now he watches her. Another change. His tattooed head bending over a PADD. Suddenly she spoke: �Chakotay?" He looked up. Their eyes met. Silence again. Slowly, very slowly their lips reached each other. They kissed.
