I felt slightly nervous as I approached Jim's quarters. He had told me at breakfast that day that he had given me automatic access to his quarters and that we should have dinner together in there later. Now I just had to scan my hand or type in the same code as I used for all the other areas I had access to across the ship. Knowing Jim, that was a huge sign of trust and a huge step forward in our relationship, it was even bigger than saying 'I love you' to each other. As far as I knew, not even his best friends had that kind of access, though I had it on good authority that Bones sometimes used his CMO override to get in there.
Stopping outside the door, I took a deep breath and reached out to lay my hand on the scanner, but stopped right before it touched the surface. Then I shook my head. If it wasn't true, nothing would happen, Jim wouldn't know someone had tried to gain access to his rooms unless he specifically searched the logs, but why would he do that. So, I pressed my hand to it.
The usual sound of the door unlocking could be heard and then it slid to the side. I blinked and my heart rate sped up. I managed to step inside before the door could close again. The room was the same as before, Jim's uniform scattered in a path towards the bathroom, empty coffee cups next to the replicator, a few PADDs lying around. I don't know why I had expected it to be different.
But then I heard something I had never heard before. A male voice was singing acapella. I looked around but it didn't look like Jim had put any music on. But as I walked further into the room, I realised the voice was Jim's and it was coming from the bathroom. I stepped carefully closer, listening intently.
He was good. Really good. His voice could melt me on any given day, but his singing was even better. I could listen to this all day.
I opened the bathroom door and stepped inside. He was in the sonic shower, voice echoing around the room in soothing notes. I didn't recognize the song, but it sounded like some of the old music he liked.
Jim didn't notice me standing there, leaning against the door, arms crossed over my chest until he switched the shower off and turned around.
"Hi, how long have you been standing there?" A blush crept down from his face to his chest.
"Long enough to know you have a career to fall back on should this Captain-lark not work out. You're really good."
He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, stepping closer to me. "You have heart-eyes."
"As I said, you're good."
He walked even closer and I pushed myself off from the wall. He grabbed my waist and pulled me close, planting his lips to mine for a moment. Then he looked straight into my eyes. "If you tell anyone, I will have to kill you."
"Deal." I slid my hands across his shoulders and buried my fingers in his post-shower mess of a hair. "But I'm going to need you to sing to me now."
He seemed to consider but was quick to call it a deal. "I see you came in without problems?"
I hummed and leaned my forehead against his. "Going to sneak in on you singing in the shower all the time now."
"When are you giving me automatic access to your quarters?"
I kissed him quickly. "Thought my quarters were too small for you. I'm just a lowly lieutenant after all. Besides, you've had access to my quarters for some time now, Captain. I thought you had already figured that out, and that you just like using the doorbell."
He leaned his head back and looked at me. "You are a devious little thing."
"And you love it."
"That I do." Then he leaned in and finally gave me a proper kiss.
