garak never broke into bashir’s quarters a day in his goddamn life

look. if garak broke in to his fucking home, why does bashir never comment on this? the same julie b who was going to call the Space Police over garak walking in on him playing video games in a place of public accommodations, didn’t have shit to say about the same dude breaking into the place where he SLEEPS?

maybe. different people are particular about different things. but that’s really beside the point tbh. the fact is that in “cardassians” (2x05) we can literally see that bashir is surprised NOT to find garak asleep beside him, but rather standing at the foot of the bed, fully-dressed, in the middle of the night. at the very least, he reacts with surprise to the empty other side of his bed. and why should his empty bed surprise him, other than that he was expecting someone else to be there? ? ??? ???

bashir makes the connection between garak and the bed once more, when garak says they need to go. bashir looks from garak back over to the empty side again, like “yeah, babe, we could go on a drug fueled 3am field trip to gander at some orphans. OR we could ALSO go the Fuck back to sleep…..”
