Uhura/Chekov - Beautiful

Chekov straightened his bow tie on his suit. Today was a formal party with the senior staff. It was also the day that Chekov would ask Uhura to marry him. They've been for five years now. Chekov first asking Uhura out the day they left for the five-year mission.

This party was for the end of the five-year mission, so it was the perfect opportunity to propose to Uhura. She was beautiful, caring, and loving. She was the best thing that has ever happened to him.

A knock brought his attention away from his thoughts. He opened the door and Uhura was standing there. She looked stunning in her blue, sparkly dress.

"You ready?" Uhura asked, smiling.

"Yes. What about you, darling?" Chekov asked.

"Of course. Let's go," Uhura replied.

Chekov grabbed Uhura's hand as they walked down the hallway. They entered the room the party was being held in. All of the senior staff were there. A slow song had just started.

Chekov looked at Uhura and offered his hand. "Care to join me for this dance, ma'am?"

Uhura giggled, taking his hand. "Of course, love."

Uhura and Chekov got onto the dance floor and started slow dancing. Chekov spun Uhura around, causing her to giggle. Chekov smiled lovingly at her. They danced for a while before Chekov finally got the courage to propose. Everyone knew that what Chekov was planning.

Chekov made eye contact with Kirk and nodded to him. Kirk nodded back and went to tell the rest of the crew. Once everyone knew, Chekov took Uhura's hands in his and looked into her eyes.

"Uhura, I love you so much. With all my heart. You're the beautiful person I've had the honor of dating and I want to spend all my life with you. I want you to stay in my life forever." At this time, Uhura was crying. "So, if you would please say yes. Would you do the honors of marrying me, Nyota?"

Uhura nodded. "Yes, Chekov, yes. I would love to marry you!"

Chekov slid the ring on and he pulled her into a kiss, holding her tightly. Everyone started clapping and cheering.

Chekov woke up suddenly. He sighed and looked over to his side. Uhura laid there, snuggled up to him and sound asleep. They've only been dating for three years at this point and there wasn't an end in sight. Chekov sighed softly and kissed Uhura's forehead. He thought of the ring he had on his nightstand. It had a good band and red rubies on it. He had planned on proposing soon, but he didn't know when exactly to do it. He sighed again and closed his eyes, hoping to fall back to sleep soon.
