Jealous!Picard, even in a platonic setting, would be interesting. Because Picard would deny it to anyone and especially to himself that he was feeling jealous in regards to Q.

And I think especially late in/after TNG it would kind of make sense for him even if only in the sense that it must certainly be good for ones ego to know/feel that you are the (relucant depending on interpretation) Favorite of a godlike entity who ‘chose’ you amongst literally billions and billions of other beings in all of time and space.

But also can you imagine Qs incredibly pleased reaction at finding out despite how Picard might try to hide it to finding out?

#I mean just imagine Q paying a few visits to another starship captain #and Picard finding out and Q has just not visited in a while and he should feel good about Q having 'moved on'#but he doesn't #but then Q comes to visit him and in a tone that Picard had hoped would come out as bored but actually ends up betraying him #he asks Q why he shows up here when he clearly has found himself anothere favorite toy #Qs grin at being able to tell what Picards tone and posture means #Picard would be annoyed/not really like Qs jealousy #but Q would love to have to have this kind of 'proof' that this friendship/relationship is going both ways #and that there is at least a small part of Picard that likes knowing he is Qs Favorite
