Life at the USS Enterprise

Falling in Love

Each day I keep on walking down the halls of the Enterprise to the Dojang, I hear the Crew gossip about Spock and I. Okay first of all, WE NEVER ADMITTED WHAT WE LIKE EACH OTHER!! I mean yes I have a crush on him but its- Its illogical for a Woodland Elf to have a "Social Love Life" .  It was never meant to be. I had eyes on him since the first day I entered this Ship. Bones saw a "spark" (In Chapter 2) about Spock and I when I got VNP, so? That doesn't mean anything but everyone  keeps on telling me to go to him and like . . . you know. It seems like I am going under pressure because everyone wants it to happen already and its been three years! A bloody crush on a Vulcan for three years! Yeah, not that easy to convince.

I walked into the Dojang, seeing no one there. I sighed in relief, happy that no one was there. I took out a katana and started to shadow swordfight then after a while, got to hand to hand for combinations, double blades, anything I can get my hands on to keep this off my mind.

Beep Beep. I picked up my Communicator, "Stryder here."

"Its Kirk Stryder, I wanted to talk to you."

"About?"

"Its about an attack that happened."

I rolled my eyes, knowing what he is really going at, "Nice try Captain." I hung up.

Kirk's POV

It was speaker when I told Styrder "about an attack" then she hung up on me.

"She never does that . . ." I looked over at Uhruha. "Do you know something about this?"

Uhruha spun around in her chair and shrugged, "I know nothing Captain, I wish I knew. She keeps things to herself."

"Vwhat do you expect? She was taken away from her home Mirkwood on vthe Planet Middle Earth and brought to Earth to vbe in Starfleet Academy because of her abilities. She has no vright coming here. She tries to be cheerful but agreeing with Uhruha, she keeps things to herself."

Sulu nodded his head, "But have her heard what the Ship has been talking about her? Rumors. Its terrible."

"What?" Uhruha and I shouted. "Why weren't I informed about this?!"

"I'm her best girl to talk to!"

"And I'm the Captain!!!"

Spock was remaining silent, not saying a word. I looked over at Spock, "Spock why are you remaining quiet? You're the one that always have to say something logical right about now or even a few seconds ago."

Spock said in a monotone, "The ship is talking about Stryder and I getting together . . . We both don't believe in the "Social Love Life" and rather keep things as is."

Uhruha looked over at Spock, "Maybe you should try talking to her. We really haven't heard from her accept only to receive the Captain's messages."

Spock turned his head to me, nodded, letting him walk out in a quick pace.

Spock's POV

This is illogical. Why haven't I seen it earlier? She was remaining quiet within the last week. I didn't see her at the cafeteria at all. Something has gone terribly wrong. Its probably the rumors that are getting to her.

First, I walked to her dorm and knocked on the door, hearing no one so I decided to enter slowly, seeing if she's there. She wasn't. There was everything scattered all over the place. This is NOT like her! She keeps thing well organized! It literary looks like a paper bomb went off. I walked out of her dorm, going to other place she would go- the Dojang.

Stryder's POV

After about an hour since the call from the Captain, I literary broke down in tears, wanting all this pain to go away. Within the last week alone, it just been emptiness inside, no one to talk to really. I just let my tears fall on the mat. I took out a dagger that I always keep with me, looking at it. I heard footsteps coming my way and heard someone enter. I looked up seeing the last expected person I would see at my Dojang- Spock.

"Spock w-what are you doing here?" I sniffled between my crying, hugging my knees into my chest. "You shouldn't be here listening to me crying like a child."

He went over to me wiping away my tears with his sleeve. I looked up at him being surprised. "Why did you-"

"Because I . . . " He look at me.  

"Spock, I have the . . . same . . . Well I uh . . " I started blushing as well in a light purple.

Spocks POV

She looks adorable when she blushes! What am I saying?! I am supposed to be Vulcan! Not supposed to show emotion. Then again, I am 50% human.

I looked over to her seeing a dagger in her hand. Slowly, I place my hand on hers, taking it away from her, dropping it on the floor next to her. She looked up at me, realizing that she didn't notice what just happen. My right hand formed, touching her index and middle fingers with mine, forming a Vulcan kiss. She gave a weak smile at me. "M-Maybe we can make this work," Stryder looks up at me.

I smiled slightly, "We can. Come on, I will lead you to your dorm and help you clean up."

She got up and buried her head into my chest like a little kid would do with their parent when they were upset. I gently patted her head, trying to make her calm down before we both walked out of the Dojang and started to go to her dorm.

"Stryder, you shouldn't have kept this to yourself. You should have talked to Bones, anyone." I spoke to her, wrapping an arm around hers, still comforting her.

She stuttered, "I was afraid. With all the people talking about us and-"

"It does not matter to me. We are there for each other. Who cares of what other people think of us. Most of these people dumped everyone * "

*A/N: This is BEFORE Uhruha and Spock got together then separated

She looked up at me, "Promise?"

"Promise."

We ended at her dorm and opened slide open; she sighed, "I have a lot of cleaning up to do."

"I can help if you want me to . . ."

"That would be great."

We both cleaned up the mess and laid on the bed after it was all done.

Stryder's POV

I laid on the bed sighing, "Tonight I will sleep better."

Spock sat down on the edge of the bed. "Because you got the stress off of your chest."

"That and we are together . . . Right?"

"Yes and just remember who cares about anyone says about us or to you. You are most important to me and I don't want to loose you."

"Your human side is leaking in your Vulcan brain. No wander what you we going through in that brain of yours."

 He gave me "the look" and I just laughed.

BEST DAY EVER!!
