A question answered from Chakotay's POV.
Paramount owns Voyager; I don't. Enough said.
"What do you want from me?" you asked once.
I didn't answer you. You couldn't have handled the answer then. I had pondered the question for months, years, even before you asked.
Companionship that chases away loneliness, I have. Friendship that brings out my best and worst, I have. Conflict that hones, I have. Challenges that strengthen, I have.
Someone I am willing to die for, I have. Someone I can be myself with, I have. Someone who can be herself with me, I have.
I have everything I could ever want from you but one: your love.
