Picard in TNG, especially early to mid TNG, would be so mortified if anyone were to tell him that he would end up with Q.

Just imagine Picard meeting some entity that knows Picard from the future and just got a bit confused when travelling through time (they are just trying to get the hang of it, ok? It’s hard figuring this kind of stuff out by yourself) and ended up there.

They are just kind of confused as to why Picard is alone because usually Q is never too far away from him. Not really noticing at first how uncomfortable everyone, and especially Picard, is getting by their rambling and the implications behind their words about just what Picards life could become in the future, they suddenly stop themselves.

“Oh, oh, you are still mortal right now? I... I see. Well, just forget everything I just said. And .. pleased don’t tell Q? Anyway, see you in a couple thousand years for our first meeting.”

And they are gone.

No one is allowed to even mention or acknowledge that anything even close to this encounter has ever happened.

#it would be even worse than if someoen would have told him that he was going to get married to Deannas mother #because hey at least on Betazed they (hopefully) can get a divorce sooner or later #and he would and oculd find away to avoid her #with Q?#Good luck pal #Also think that for a good part of TNG Picard would not really view Q as someone capable of seeing anyone #especially a human #as something closes to an equal and would only see any future relations between them as #Q treating him as his favorite toy at the best of times #and as TNG would progress he would not see it as that bad #but still be doubtful that Q even in the far future #would treat him with anything more than smug condescension and childish affection #which wold not really be the case #although maybe it would come of as it a bit because Q does not really know how to translate Q feelings and what he wants into an interpersol #relationship with a human
