Hold Me
Rated K
My head hurts
The doctor sees no cause,
Except maybe stress
After a long day fighting
Borg, Hirogen, Kazon…
I feel as though my brain will explode.
There is one thing I want most,
For you to hold me, Chakotay
And give me support,
Encouragement,
And most of all,
Your love
That’s all I want
From you, Chakotay
For you to hold me, love me,
And ease away my pain
When you embrace me
I feel the pain of my head ease,
My neck and shoulders relax
So please, Chakotay, hold me
Make my heartache vanish
Even for a moment.

Let Me Hold You
By Elorie Alton
Author's note: Mriana's drabble "Hold Me" inspired me to write one from Chakotay's point of view. I thought hers needed a companion. Thanks Mriana for the inspiration.
Rated K
On the bridge you seem regal, untouchable, appearing to have total control.
But I know you do not.
There is the slight tremor of your hands, the damp sheen on your brow and your top lip is pale.
I can see the signs of your agony, your headache.
I would rather bare the pain myself, than see it in your eyes.
My heart suffers, ‘Please Kathryn, let me comfort you.’
I watch you retreat until the door of the ready room closes behind you.
Then I receive your message and my heart soars.
“I need you Chakotay, please hold me.”
