Chekov

Pavel took a deep breath. It was the day before your birthday and he was determined to ask you out. A lump in his throat formed as he stared at you, from your Y/H/C hair to your slender legs. To him, you were a goddess made in Russia, where all the best things were made in his opinion.  You were one of the ship's best communicators, so you usually stayed in the bridge during mission events.

You smiled at him and waved. You weren't very familiar with him, but he seemed kind and he would also stutter everytime he saw you. You didn't know why, but it was adorable.  You also always seemed to catch him taking long glances at you on the bridge.  Like he tries to memorize how you look, it was sweet.

"Y/N...H-Hello. I-I..." Pavel pulled the collar on his uniform.  Hands held behind his back gripping a note and some of Y/F/F.  "Hello Mr. Chekov.  What beings you here today?"  Your melodious voice flowed gently into his ears and he could swear it was an angel speaking.  This only made him even more nervous.

"V-Vell I...I heard zat it vas your 21st b-birthzay!  And uhm I vanted you to have zis!"  He shoved the flowers and the note into your hands quickly and ran off, assumingly, to the bridge.

You blushed lightly and looked at the note, neat cursive placed in the middle of the envelope.

For Y/N's eyes only please.

Curious, you opened envelope, careful not to tear anything.

Dear Y/N,
I wanted to tell you badly that I wanted to go out with you, but anytime I try to speak to you, the words can never come out.  Mr. Sulu told me that sometimes sending notes can help!  I wanted to give you a birthday present that nobody would think of, so if...if you agree to my feelings, please meet me at the holodeck tonight at 8!  I shall be waiting, if you do not come by 9, I will accept how you feel and will not bother you.

                 -Pavel Andreivich Chekov

You giggled softly.  His innocence was quite charming.  You thought about your plans for tonight, Nyota and Dax were supposed to take you out for drinks tonight and some girl time, but once they hear about this little "date" of yours, you knew they would understand and even, daresay, choose every outfit for you.

Tucking the note back into it's envelope, you placed it into your locker and asked a friend to place the flowers into a vase in your room.  Your face shone with the brightest smile ever and there wasn't anything that could bring you down on what could be the best day of your year.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Walking onto the bridge, you noticed it was a bit too dark.  You panicked slightly wondering if you had somehow managed to miss your shift.  Looking around, the lights suddenly flashed on and the whole entire bridge crew and select friends jumped up and greeted you. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N!!!" 

You jumped up startled and clutched your chest in surprise.  "W-Wow guys...you trying to kill me?"  You smiled and walked towards the middle near the Captain's chair.  Kirk grinned and clapped you on the back gently.  "Well it was mostly my idea and Uhura's.  You're always so quiet, yet friendly.  So why not reward you for your good work?"

"Thank you Captain.  I'm touched and Nyota!  You always manage to make things awesome!"  You ran up to her and embraced her tightly.  "Not a problem Y/N.  Anything for my girl!" 

Scotty even came up from engineering, noticing that it was your 21st birthday, you were finally legal to drink.  He was determined to give you your first shot of whiskey with the Doctor on the side, ready with a hangover spray.

The party seemed to go on for a while until you realized it was an hour till 8.  Everyone had gone back to work except for Pavel.  He had special permission from Kirk, since the Captain was a stickler for romance.

You pulled Nyota to the side.  "Nyota...I...I sort of have a date.  With Chekov."  She covered her mouth in excitement and held your hand.  "C'mon, we'll make sure you have the perfect outfit!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
After 20 outfits and 70 different criticisms from Nyota and Dax, you finally had the perfect outfit.  It was a D/L dress that was Y/F/C.  The neckline was a simple sweetheart neckline and Y/H/L hung loosely to frame your face.  It was a simple outfit that didn't overpower anything.

"Thanks guys.  I hope Pavel likes the way I look..."  Dax gave you some Y/F/C heels and smiled naturally.  "Just be yourself, he's a cute kid.  You'll both be fine."

You nodded and let a breath out you didn't realize you were holding.  "Wish me luck."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Pavel waited patiently at the holodeck, a beautiful scenery had been laid out.  It was a beach setting with the sunset occurring and a lone table on the sand covered in rose petals and candles with Y/F/F on two dishes. 

He was dressed in a tux and he fiddled with his thumbs neevously, wondering if he was too overdressed for the occassion.

You lightly stepped into the room, taking in the beautiful scenery.  Holodecks, can't live without them, they always make home feel close, even in space.

He stood up happily.  "Y/N!  You came!"  He took long strodes to get to you quickly.  You took his hand into yours.  "Of course I did!  I...I feel the same way about you Pavel.  It took me a bit longer to realize how I felt, but I really want to give your feelings and my feelings a chance to connect."  He smiled brightly.  "Z-Zen shall we?"

As the night went on, there was dancing, eating and comfortable conversations.  You felt like he was the missing piece of  your life and it was as if his love was your personal security blanket.  Best birthday ever.
