Spock's Heart (Spock X Reader) (#Wattys2018)

In the Eyes of the Man at Work -34-

~They just started with the settlement! God, what is taking them so long? I have plans!~

Q paced back and forth in the small white room he created as he thought to himself. His boots created music as he walked across the plain floor.

He stared at a corner of the room for a split second before a majestic throne took form. Q sighed as he sat down gently.

~I must see what will happen after my plans takes form...Its....killing me.~

He thought with a smirk.

Q held out his hand as a Champagne Flute appeared. He took a sip from it as he leaned back into the chair.

~It'll come...sooner or later...It'll come....~

<<Time Skip brought to you by my lack of creativity>>

You seemed to be the first to form back on the Enterprise.

Watching the others form in front of you gave you a sense of completion. The deal had been made, no one was hurt, and everyone was back to where they needed to be.

As you were cleared to leave, you stepped out the doors and headed into the hallway, but you were stopped.

A strong hand had grabbed your arm in a way that showed the person meant no harm.

You turned around to see the tall Vulcan once more

"Spock? Is there something you need?" You asked in a curious way.

"Yes. I was wondering if you would like to join me-" He paused for a second to see if your expression changed at all, but continued after it hadn't.

"-in a game of chess?"

You smiled after he finished.

"Well....Mr. Spock. I didnt take you as a man who liked going on dates," you said teasingly to see what his reaction would be.

His eyebrow raised slightly.

"Well...Y/N," He started as he mocked the way you talked, "I never said it was a date, but...if you wish to call it that, I would have no problem with it."

You smiled and took his hand, which he found very odd, as you nodded.

"I will call it that," you said while grinning.

As you both walked hand in hand, you reached the cafeteria. This place was where Jim and Spock would play chess...well, Spock would play chess, and Jim would just lose.

You weren't going to lie to yourself. You knew you would lose to Spock, but being with him gave you joy. More then joy. It was pure happiness.

Spock tapped a button on the table that made the five different layers of the board build up.

As he set the pieces, he could help but glance at you every-so-often, but what he didn't know was that you noticed.

You smirked as you watched him place each piece down.

"So...Mr. Spock," you started to break the silence, "How long have you been playing Chess?"

"My whole life I suppose."

"Even as a child?"

"Yes. For Vulcan, knowing how to play chess is like human children knowing how to pick up a pencil."

You scoffed playfully.

"So you are saying Vulcans are smarter then us just because you know how to play chess basically as soon as you are born?"

"Yes. We all have known that since our alliance."

You were prepared to fight back, but ended it since you knew he was right...like always.

He set the pieces.

Spock played black, and you played white. You knew he did this on purpose so that you could go first and have a slight advantage.

You took you turn, and already, you could tell Spock was planning the entire game out. His eyes glanced around the board multiple times until he made his move.

<<TIME SKIP TO AFTER THE GAME>>

"Why do you think I cheated?"

"You are a Vulcan. That is cheating," you said jokingly while trying to keep a straight face.

Spock stood up and held out his hand to help you.

"Alright, next time we play, I will make sure I'm no longer a Vulcan."

You were a little amazed at the fact he made a joke, but you couldnt think of anything else to do but smile.

You stepped forward and hugged him. His perfect posture making it a little difficult.

Spock wheezed slightly at the sudden impact of you, but quickly managed to wrap his stiff around around you as well.

As you back away, you smiled again and walked off.

Spocks POV

Spock looked at you, amazed, but didn't show it on his face.

He looked down at his chest, wishing your warmth was still there. While placing his arms around his midsection, he noticed your scent was still in the air and smiled slightly at it.

"Y/N..." was all he said as he stood where you were for a couple minutes.
