Star Trek// Spock x OC -> I'm ready

30// Arrived

Novas POV

After training I took a nice shower which had relaxed my nerves even more. Then I went to help Scotty with the ship, something wasn't quite right with the readings we were getting. Using my ability I hover about a feet above the ground, not quite tall enough to reach this specific panel that needed adjusting. I've been here for a good 30 minutes but surprisingly didn't feel fatigued from using my abilities that long.

"How's it looking Scotty?!" I yell adjusting some wires.

"Yep she's going steady now! Come back down!" Scotty gives me a thumbs up. I land back down and stand still for a second, making sure I didn't strain myself without noticing. After a moment I walk up to Scotty, looking at the monitors reading.

"Steady indeed, I'm glad I could help." I smile and nod.

"I'm glad you can help! Thank you lass!" Scotty pats my back.

"I must excuse myself now, it's almost time to land on New Vulcan." I nod to Scotty before leaving. After calming down and being able to think I've decided to show Spock what I saw. It feels like the right thing to do.

Spock has always told me he admires how easily I express myself. That is true but I feel he has always been more vulnerable with me, trusting me with his past and emotions. It's only right I do the same. I know I can trust him with this. I'm simply not used to being so vulnerable, very few people truly know me. Spock is my bond, I want him to know me. I've always been scared to get close to people but, I don't want to fear that with him. He's so amazing, I'm so lucky that he is my bond. I adore him and everything about him. I feel so at ease around him. It is not him that hinders me. It is only myself and the pain I've experienced. I hope I can move past it soon.

I suddenly feel my heart start to race and a warm feeling spread across my chest. The urge to see Spock became overwhelming and strong as I sped up my pace.

I could feel the determination in my steps as I make my way. Spock wants to see me and I want to see him. The feeling was so pleasant yet urgent. I put in the code for his quarters and walk in. Still deep in thought I pace the floor.

"Nova.." A soft voice cuts through my thoughts. I jump slightly turning to see Spock.

"Oh I didn't realize you were already here darling." I say with a smile. The sight of him instantly soothing me. I sit beside him on the couch.

"How are you feeling?" He asks, his voice was so gentle when he spoke to me. I feel my chest warm.

"I'm feeling much better, how are you feeling?" I ask moving closer to him.

"Hearing that makes me feel good." Spock's eyes soften looking at me, I place my hand on his cheek and watch as he leans into my touch.

"I-if you feel comfortable with seeing what I saw, I would be fine showing you..." Spock puts a hand over mine as I caress his cheek softly with my thumb. "Sometimes it's hard for me to be vulnerable with people because... well I'm Nova Wild, the great warrior. I always feel I'm supposed to be strong and brave, I put on a face so no one has to be scared or concerned. Then there's the thought I need to protect people from Nakunone or m-myself. So I push people away so they can leave me. But I don't have to do that with you my bond..." I look to the side, almost thinking aloud to myself. "The kindest, most resilient, accepting, loving person I know and he turns out to be my bond."
I look back up at Spock, his eyes filled with what I could only describe as adoration. "Honestly the list could go on... You always remind me that I don't have to act strong with you and you never have to feel the same with me. You are my bond and I never want to treat you like you're not. I want us to be one T'hy'la. I want to be one with you." I whisper to him. A feeling flourished inside of us. An admiration and trust for each other. A bright green blush spread across his face.
