A lot of daforge fanfics have Data going on a date or getting hit on while Geordi’s pining and writhing with jealousy but have we all forgotten that random storyline in Phantasms where Ensign Tyler has an obvious crush on Geordi, and Data is weirdly intense about it. Like:

SIR????

DATA HE IS CLEARLY NOT INTERESTED? CAN YOU COOL IT DOWN A NOTCH???

Can’t stop thinking about Geordi’s intense need for structure and the ability to anticipate needs on his romantic relationships.

His failed date with a real actual other person being an indicator of what he thinks he needs to do and to be. His process is very I’m abc she’s xyz so I should do this intense/shortsighted at best creepy/controlling at worst Thing.

It seems like Geordi can only handle being in a relationship if things are predictable and have controllable variables, case and point Leah Brahms on the holodeck.

He made her more predictable, because he’s uncomfortable with what he can’t predict, with the unexpected. It’s why he sucks so incredibly bad at real life romance because that’s what most real relationships are made out of.

But you know who is predictable and structured and thinks the world of him already? Frickin DATA!

He knows where he stands with Data, Geordi understands Data in a way similar to how Deanna and Wesley understand him (psst, it’s the autism). But Geordi has the added benefit of literally knowing how Data works on a technical level, he and Crusher work in tandem whenever Data is hurt.

He literally sees Data in a way nobody else does, Data actually glows for Geordi in a way no one else can see. Geordi may not always be able to fully predict what’ll happen to Data, but he’s the best at estimating how Data would respond.

Geordi knows him, knows he feels even if Data is constantly in denial about it. In a way he never seems to connect with anybody else, not anybody flesh and blood. Geordi is noticeably attracted to women who are like Data and all I can think is “You fool! Data’s literally right there stop being So Goddamn Weird around that woman and go vibe with your robot bf!”

Anyway, Geordi is either bi/gay or demiromantic or both and pretty much never pieces it together fully and it drives me INSANE

[p-s-art]

I always pictured their little maintenance appointments like getting your hair cut. Data chats, Geordi listens, and they both look forward to it though neither ever mentions that they do.
