#obviously the point of 'change of heart' is that worf will do anything for jadzia but uhh why put it that way

[trillscienceofficer]

one thing I'm kind of ??? in the characterization of both Jadzia and B'Elanna is that they obviously both enjoy a workout and are competitive when it comes to sports etc (B'Elanna playing hoverball even with a broken ankle and Jadzia always sparring with Worf even if she loses over and over) but then when their respective boyfriend/husband make a suggestion of taking a vacation (either on the holodeck, like in the case of Tom and B'Elanna in iirc "Waking Moments", or real, in the case of Worf and Jadzia in "Change of Heart") both Jadzia and B'Elanna seems to be like 'ew not a vacation with physical activity, what about something more relaxing'. And obviously it's very possible to like both a working out routine and chilling on a stress-free vacation but I can't help but notice how their characterizations have to be bent in order to fit better the mold of heterosexual dynamics where the girlfriend/wife is the fun police. To be particularly uncharitable, you get to be 'fun' and 'one of the guys' only when outside of a formal relationship otherwise you're a bit of a nag

Julian Bashir X Reader

Angry Julian. Arguing for the tight Julian. Defying authority because their idiot's and he let's them know that Julian. You loved the man already, but this took the cherry. Of course, when people wound you up with their bill suit you let them know it. Kia Winn was especially aware of this. Dukat also.

Every damn time he did it stirred something within you. Normally, he was an adorable cutiepie whom you adored. But when the man wanted to he could be a sexy and irresistible fireball. And another one of these moments hadn't long passed. 

By now, the entire DS9 crew knew, without a shadow of a doubt, your feelings for him. Garak was painstakingly trying to hint it to Julian all the time, Jadzia was trying to get you to tell him all the time and let'snot even get started on Quark. And Vic! 

When you met Vic, he did that thing and you faceplanted his bar.

"The reason, as I've told you a million times, is because I'm very me. I'm not special, I'm not beautiful and I'm not like other girls. I mean, look at Leeta. And Dax. And bloody Kira. Am I someone who compares with them? No. I'm just me. I'm not good at much. Other than my job and running." You huffed to Vic.

"Oh, come on. You're a doll. Sure you're not like the other girls, you're unique. You're you. You got an amazing heart, I've heard great things about you're security abilities and you're beautiful." He replied.

"Heard things? Hah. I do my job, to protect this station and the people on it." You groaned.

"Most of the time going against the Starfleet rules, I hear." He smirked.

"Sometimes the rules are too restrictive and people deserve protection. I'm not going to leave or turn a cheek just because Starfleet think it's too much or would rather have less trouble from others. Good people deserve help."

"Not to mention the Klingons." He mentioned.

"How do you know about that?"

"Prince Charming." 

"Anyway, you guys need to get off my back." You finalised. 

It wasn't until the Heist that anything happened. Of course, you were still teased. But once you showed up in your dress, a long tight fit dress, slit up the leg, sleeves off the shoulders and sweetheart neckline... his eyes couldn't look anywhere else but you. Of course, you were here to start a fight if needed, so he wasn't expecting this. A gentlemen approached you before you could sit and you were astonished. Julian's eyes tore absolute daggers into his back until the Heist was complete. 

"I take it you guys did good." You laughed, reaching into your skirt and taking out an extendable baton and a replicated gun." That's a fake, of course. Mostly for show."

"Wow. You would have been a good plan B." Vic laughed.

"A fight in a place like this would be hard without the proper equipment." You shrugged.

"No, you look amazing." Miles chuckled." Every man noticed you."

"Drew more attention away from what we were doing." Kassidy smirked.

"Even I must admit you look very pleasant in that dress." Worf added.

"No. She looks magnificent." Julian corrected.

The room silenced, especially you. You didn't no how to react. When the room changed back to Vic's, he went over to sing, whilst the rest of you sat at the bar to listen. At one point Nog nudged you. You frowned at him as he nodded his head for you to look behind you. Julian was looking at you.

"How about a dance to give him a push?" Nog jumped up. You shot back round to face him.

"What?" You asked, being dragged up by Nog. 

"Dance." He sighed, moving you into form.

"Yes, I heard you. I dont know how to dance." You huffed.

"That's alright, I can show you." Julian's voice intercepted.

"Oh, Christ." You murdered.

Julian quickly stole you from Nog and put you into better form and led you in a slow dance to Vic's song. You felt both embarrassed because you had no idea what your were doing, and also because others were watching. You didn't know what to do. 

"I have a small confession to make." Julian finally spoke.

'Oh, yeah?" You replied, gulping down your worry.

"I've been meaning to tell you this for years, but I've been a bit afraid to say anything. But, seeing you tonight, I need you to know how I feel." 

"What is so different about me now than usual?" You frowned.

"You came to a criminal place where men jump at women like you and I'm not going to keep my distance anymore. The longer I act a chicken, the quicker someone else can come in and not be and you're gone." 

"You're forgetting an important problem in that logic." 

"Hardly, I'm genetically enhanced. I can't miss much."

"Pfft. Obviously. But other guys can try, but they won't be you." 

"Changelings?" He said. Then stopped." Hold on."

"You're too cute." 

"That's what Garak's been on about."

"Besides, I've known you long enough to know the difference between you and a fake." 

That would have been a good way to seal a kiss in if your heels that you were certainly not used to didn't give way beneath you. You didn't fall, but you did really hurt your ankle.

"Well, at least I got a doctor." Then there was the kiss.
