Dukat cards his fingers through Weyounâs hair. âItâs not your fault. I wouldnât trust him either, if heâd done all that stuff to me.â
âIs that so,â Dukat says, smugly, to the implication that he is Weyounâs protector now. He gently pushes Weyoun off of him and flexes showily. His flexing is less than impressive, considering the famine made everyone weak. âBig strong man here to protect you.â He does not mention that Garak is the real protector, seeing as how he can totally kick Dukatâs ass. Â
Weyoun smirks. âVery intimidating,â he says. âIf I was an assassin Iâd run the other way. Or,â he adds, considering, âfall madly in love with you.â Given Garakâs former profession, at least one assassin already has.
He sits up, crossing his legs to sit on the edge of the bed next to Dukat. âI probably should introduce you to Bijun, at least,â he says. âJust keep your hands off, please. I donât care to mix business with my personal life.â This is a blatant lie, considering how he and Dukat first started sleeping together, but the teasing falsehood feels safer than the real reason - he doesnât want to make things worse on Garak by introducing an attractive newcomer for his husband to flirt with.
Dukat laughs. âIâd like to see you as an assassin. Sexy. Deadly. You could drink poison and then make out with with your target, watch them fall to the floor.â He looks over at Weyounâs movement. âLook, donât touch, is that it? I think I can manage. Heâs too young for me, anyway,â Dukat says breezily, ignoring the fact that Bijun is not terribly younger than Damar, whom Dukat has slept with.Â
âWell, introduce us, then,â Dukat says, getting to his feet and waiting expectantly.Â
Weyoun gets up, takes Dukatâs hand and leads him into the other room, where Bijun is still sitting. He clears his throat to announce their presence. âBijun, this is Skrain Dukat, my lover,â he says, indelicately stressing that last word. âHeâs aware of my⊠situation⊠with Damar. Iâm sure we can trust you to be discreet when he visits me at the Castellanâs residence, yes?âÂ
Heâd hate to lose his privileges of visiting with Dukat and Garak thanks to someone elseâs indiscretion - though he realizes with a jolt that he could always simply choose to walk away. Itâs sometimes still a bit of a surprise to remember that heâs not actually under anyone elseâs authority anymore. Damar can command him, but he can always refuse to listen.
Bijun quirks a brow at the word lover. He shifts his gaze to Dukat, leers at him for a moment. He had not missed the way Dukat had looked at him, on the way in. Dukat meets his gaze, flushes slightly, then flicks his eyes away.
Bijun smirks, then turns back to Weyoun. He mimes zipping his lips closed. âI can keep a secret. I know I must have given the opposite impression, but Iâm not keen on losing my job twice in the same week. You can trust me, sir.â
âGood. Thatâs all I ask.â Weyoun waves a hand dismissively. âI donât see the point of adhering to protocol as closely as Damar does. In fact, if you can find the time to be rude to Damar, I encourage it. It will annoy him.â The Vorta smiles sweetly, pleased that his impulse decision is working out so well.
âNow, did Garak invite you to dinner? Youâre welcome to join us, though I donât expect you to stay here if youâd rather leave for the evening.â
