#worf/garak

[vexingvorta]

This fic was born from a conversation in a discord I'm in- its my first ship fic, and I'm really proud of it! (It tracks that my first fic is a rarepair but shhhhhh-)

All was quiet. Pleasantly, peacefully quiet aside from the repeated tap, tap, tapping of metal needles clicking together to weave what would likely become yet another blanket.

Really, Worf didn't mind the sound. It faded into the background, a peaceful metronome that, in a way, aided his meditative focus.

Or.. it would. If the person holding those needles didn't insist on speaking every five minutes.

"What are your thoughts on dinner tomorrow? There's this new- oh, right, my deepest apologies, my dear. I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age."

Worf didn't need to turn around to know that there was a wide, coy grin on Garaks face as he spoke. This was the third time tonight his meditation had been interrupted. Worf didn't bother to reply, and Garak went quiet again. Just as Worfs mind began to drift again, however, Garak began speaking again.

"Will dear Alexander be visiting again any time soon? He's quite a good conversationalist you know, patient and a wonderful listener- it's so difficult to find anyone- oh, yes, I apologize. I'll be quiet now."

Garak was indeed, not quiet for very long before he spoke up again, the passive aggressive nature of his talking becoming intentionally more blatant with each phrase.

"My, it *is* quite chilly in here- Worf, dear, did you tamper with the environmental controls again?"

Worf still, stubbornly, did not look at his lover.

"It is eighty-five degrees in here." Worf finally spoke, trying to ignore the agitated twitch in his eyelid.

Garak only smirked. Finally, he was getting somewhere.

"Are you quite sure? Because it is absolutely frigid; i fear i may perish should i attempt to sleep alone. Perhaps we should call in Mr O'Brien, have him make sure everything is in working order-"

Worf whipped around to face Garak, mouth set in a firm scowl when he saw the coy grin on the others face.

"You are doing this on purpose!" He accused, to which Garak simply fluttered his eyelashes in a show of innocence, "my dear i have absolutely no idea what you are referring to-"

"You are intentionally interrupting my nightly meditation- which you do, every time i agree to share quarters with you."

Garak inclined his head, staring challengingly at his lover.

"Now why would I ever do such a thing?"

The silence hung heavily in the air between them, until finally, Worf let out a defeated sigh and stood.

"You are menace."

"And yet you still agree to visit my quarters." Garak said with a self-satisfied grin, pulling out the drawer of his bedside table to set the knitting needles and yarn inside. He shut it and moved into a more comfortable position, lifting the blankets in a quiet invitation for Worf to join him.

A warrior knows how to choose his battles. Knows when one is a lost cause. It is this knowledge that pushed Worf to finally climb under the covers, knowing that he would know no peace until he did.

Garak, satisfied with the outcome, leaned over to press a kiss to his lovers lips- which Worf reciprocated readily.

"Computer, lights off." Worf demanded, relaxing minutely when the room went dark and he felt the weight of his lover settle against his chest.

Garak was becoming increasingly stubborn about having Worf in his quarters at night- though he'd visit Worf on the defiant, he refused to spend the night there. He wanted to share a bed, and the bunked shelves on the defiant were barely big enough for one person, let alone two.

"You are becoming spoiled." Worf muttered, fingers absently threading through Garaks dark hair. He only got a small hum in response as the Cardassian began to doze off, lulled by the others warm body and gentle hand.

It wasn't long before Worf fell asleep too, dreams filled with glorious battles and a beloved Cardassian at his side.

so i have this mug and my wife hates it. she says it's hideous

but Quark is an acquired taste.

I shared this photo with my friends' group chat with the comment "It's a Quark Mug kind of day" and one of them asked "Why don't you drink from it every day?" and i responded saying I only have one so I don't want to break Quark.

today my friend dm'd me and said i have a package. i had no idea what it was. turns out it was more friends for quark

How we thought Martok would be: infuriating AF, basically Kruge II.

How Martok actually was: ultimate hype man who rambled about the songs that should be sung about Worf and acknowledged that Garak facing his claustrophobia took the same level of courage as going into battle.
