Have you ever had a pet?

Summary:

The Federation encyclopedia defines an Andorian pelt-slug as a flat, flesh-colored creature about as thick as an epidermal layer, covered in densely-curled hair. The Andorian pelt-slug is cold-blooded and ideally needs skin-to-skin contact at all times to achieve the ideal body temperature.

They are not approved on Starfleet vessels.

Work Text:

"If we could all have pets, what would you choose?"

Riker looked at Geordi in surprise. "I do have a pet," he said.

"Since when?"

"Since my first day," Riker said. He glanced around the table. "You didn't know?"

"You do not have a pet," said Beverly.

Slowly, Riker unbuttoned his uniform tunic. He pulled his undershirt up to expose the thick mat of hair on his chest. "It's an Andorian pelt-slug," he said, coaxing the chest hair onto his finger. It slid away from his nipples, leaving him totally waxed. "Pretty cute, huh?"

"I'm gonna be sick," Geordi said.
