My T'hy'la (Spock x Reader)

Chapter 12

~Your POV~

You woke up and sluggishly got ready for work. You left your quarters and debated on talking to Spock before you left but decided not to since he needed to rest. You sat down in your cubicle and found your friend laying her head in her hands.

"Hey, you doing alright there, bud?" You asked with a concerned tone.

"Shh. You're too loud!" She waved her hand at you. You then heard her mumble something about too much alcohol and Scotty.

"Jeez man, how much did you drink?" You asked.

"I don't know, like- five pints I think?"

"And Scotty let you have that much of his whiskey?"

"Yeah, we're friends now I think. He invited me to play poker or something with him and some of his friends... I can't remember which ones though..."

"I think you mean he means Kirk and Bones, it would be Spock also if it wasn't for the fact that he was going through the thing."

"And how do you know that they're going?"

"Spock told me how sometimes they get together to play poker, a lot of times, Spock was the winner."

"So I'm going to be playing with the captain?!" She asked excitedly.

"Yeah, if my suspicions are correct." You replied, making her laugh. "What's so funny?" You asked, confused.

"You know, you're starting to sound like that Vulcan! He's really rubbed off on you!" She pointed out with a goofy smile.

"Well- I do hang around him a lot..." You muttered, slightly embarrassed.

"Oh, come on, (Y/N)! No need to be embarrassed!"

"Alright, let's just get to work." You rolled your eyes. The two of you got back onto your work as you waited for time to slip by, you wanted to go home and check on him, even if he was scared. Slowly, the end of the day drew to a close and you got up to start heading back.

"I'm guessing you're going to go check on him?" Your friend asked.

"Of course I am! I have to make sure he's doing okay!" You responded.

"I know, just be careful, I don't want you getting hurt."

"He's not going to hurt me." You defended.

"Just be careful, yesterday proves that you need to be." She warned.

"Alright, I will. See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." The two of you went on your way to separate places. Once at your destination, you knocked on his door.

"Hey, it's (Y/N), do you mind if I step in?" You asked. You heard a bit of shuffling and the door opened to a very tired Vulcan. His hair was a mess, and he looked paler than usual. His hands were held behind his back.

"Hello, (Y/N). What do you need?" He asked.

"I was just checking up on you." You replied.

"Thank you, but I am well and am capable of taking care of myself." He replied as his shoulders tensed.

"I know that, it's just that you're my boyfriend, and I like to make sure you're okay."

"Thanks for your concern, but there is no need for that, besides, you being here risks yourself getting hurt by my hands, so I'd suggest that you take your leave." He said with fear in his voice.

"I understand. Also, I enjoyed your playing last night." You complimented. Instantly, he blushed a light green.

"Um- thank you, I will try to play for you in person after I am done with Pon Farr." He promised.
