Warnings: They ARE naked, tho i don't go into detail and nothing happens... but they ARE naked, so... PG-13. P/K

Disclaimer: Paramount won't be particularly bothered by this. Paramount would have serious problems proving that most of my stories are completely ripped off. Voyager? Didn't they launch that at mars or something?

The Lake

Harry sighed, staring at the lake. It was beautiful, of course. Sunrising over the water; air arm, and fragrant with the scent of crushed pine needles. The water would be warm, too.

"Come on, Harry," Tom called out from where he stood on a large diving rock. The pilot hurled himself into the water head first, naked body tinted red and orange with the brilliant colors of the sunrise.

Harry slowly stripped off his uniform. You'd think this would be easier, but it wasn't. He knew what was going to happen, and he STILL had trouble relaxing. Harry climbed to the top of the rock, and stood looking down at his friend for a moment. Tom was treading water below him, and the crystal clear water hid nothing of his long, tanned limbs.

Harry dove cleanly, and even though he couldn't see the other man, he knew he was following the progress of his body through the water. He always did, lingering a little other hips and rear, the way Harry liked him to.

He swam all the way to the bottom of the lake and hovered there for a moment, eyes closed. He sighed, finally, bubbles floating to the surface in the wake of a few strong kicks. He came up right next to Tom, who immediately wrapped both arms around the younger man and started nuzzling his neck.

Harry's eyes snapped open and his brain kicked in for the morning by expressing the opinion that if he was going to insist on ignoring his hormones while he was awake, he could at least get it right in his dreams!
