Might I Add? (Uhura/Sulu Fanfic)

3. Sorrowful Days

Uhura laid in bed, her eyes wide open. Sulu stayed over, laying next to her. He was laying right next to her, in the exact same position as her. They were both staring at the roof, hands clasped over their chests.

Uhura just needed a comforting presence and Sulu was the only one who Uhura could think of. Scotty would've been the second option since Uhura has been friends with him for a while, but she had known Sulu longer. They had sat there all night, quiet.

They had fallen asleep and when they had woken up, Uhura was cuddled against Sulu and Sulu had an arm around Uhura. They had stayed like that for a few hours before Uhura rolled onto her back. But she didn't go very far.

Eventually, Sulu spoke up, "I have to go pick up Demora. She's supposed to come around midday."

Uhura turned to face Sulu. "Do you want me to come with you?"

"Sure. Demora seemed to like you the last time you came," Sulu said.

Uhura rolled to her side, looking at Sulu. "You know, I love Demora. She's adorable and the most amazing little girl I've ever met."

Sulu looked at Uhura, smirking. "Are you trying to make me feel better?"

Uhura laughed. "You're the one who's supposed to be making me feel better, not the other way around."

Sulu smiled and left out a breathy laugh. "We should go soon. She'll be here soon."

Uhura got up and started getting dressed. Uhura turned around to look for a shirt when she saw Sulu. He was only wearing pants and was in the middle of pulling on his shirt. Sulu was quite toned. He had a few abs showing. Uhura looked away as soon as Sulu pulled on his shirt. Uhura grabbed a t-shirt and pulled it on.

Together, they walked out of Uhura's quarters. Uhura's arms were tucked in Sulu's inner elbow. They talked quietly on the way to the transporter room. By the time they got there, Demora was about to transported here.

Uhura unhooked her arm from Sulu's arm but stood close to him. A few minutes later, Demora appeared. She smiled and ran for Sulu. He bent over and picked her up. She hugged Sulu with all her might, giggling.

Uhura watched, a soft smile on playing on her lips. Demora was adorable and her giggle was the cutest. She looked exactly like Sulu and had the same exact smile as him.

Sulu turned towards Uhura, smiling. "This is Uhura. Do you remember her?"

Demora nodded shyly and hid her face. Sulu smiled and mouthed 'I'm sorry.'

"Demora, it's fine. You met Uhura before. You don't need to be shy," Sulu said, bouncing Demora up and down softly.

"Can we go, Daddy? I'm tired," Demora said.

The three of them walked to Sulu's quarters. As soon as they got to Sulu's room, Demora slipped from Sulu's grip and ran over to the couch. She leaped onto the couch and sat down, bouncing up and down.

"Daddy, daddy, can we watch a movie?" Demora asked.

"Sure, darling. What do you want to see?" Sulu asked.

"Can we watch the Lion King?" Demora asked.

Sulu smiled and shook his head. "Of course, darling. Just let me find it."

Uhura sat on the other side of the couch. She smiled awkwardly at Demora. After a few seconds, Demora smiled back. Sulu came back a moments later, the movie in hand. He started playing and sat down in between Demora and Uhura. He wrapped an arm around both of them.

Demora instantly cuddled up against Sulu, her legs lying across one of Sulu's legs. The movie played and they all relaxed. It was great to spend time with Sulu.
