Paramount owns the characters but not my thoughts.
Tom Paris smiled sheepishly. He wasn't exactly comfortable, hell he'd been in trouble before, just not for something like this. He risked a glance at B'Elanna, she looked equally uncomfortable. He looked back at the Commander and Captain. Their expressions were completely different. While they both were looking serious, the Commander had a sparkle in his eyes. Chakotay found the whole ridiculously-embarrassing situation hysterical (Tom would have too, if it had been someone else). One could never tell with the Captain.
Janeway looked up from the report. How did one punish someone for being caught in a *compromising position* in the Jeffrey tubes. Tom and B'Elanna had decided to use the Jeffrey tube in section 4 of deck 7 for a little lovemaking. Only they'd gotten a little loud and a team from engineering was sent to investigate. Everybody had been embarrassed, only Ensign Schmidt, a bit of a prude, had been offended by the sight of two of Voyager's senior officers caught *in the act* and *au natural.* Tom had remarked that Schmidt, prude or not, couldn't keep his eyes off of B'Elanna as she had dressed. Tom had nearly decked him.
Janeway wouldn't have done anything except advise the pair to be more careful, but Ensign Schmidt had filed a report and a complaint.
She put on her best poker face and looked at the pair. She had never seen Tom look so embarrassed before. "Lieutenants, as members of the senior staff I would expect you to be more discrete. Loss of one day's replicator rations. Dismissed."
Tom grinned at B'Elanna, "Yes, Captain." They'd gotten off light.
After they had left, the Captain turned to her First Officer and laughed. "Do me a favor, quietly give one of them a set of sensors. I don't need to go through this again. And Commander wipe that smirk off your face, this was serious." They both started laughing. "And while you're getting them a set--maybe we need one too. Computer engage lock, emergency override only." She snaked her arm around his neck and kissed him.
As he pulled down the zipper on her jumpsuit, he muttered, "I doubt Ensign Schmidt would approve."
