Friends with Benefits - Spock

MateaPejic hope this meets your expectations. Sorry for the delay!

You were a problem solver. It wasn't an official job, but that's what everyone on the Enterprise called you. You had a unique way of looking at things and often came up with solutions no one else had thought of. As such, you spent a lot of time with Kirk, Bones, Scotty and Spock and were often privy to information you otherwise wouldn't be. When you weren't busy trying to solve everyone else's problems, you worked in the science department investigating flora from different planets. 

Lately everyone seemed to be having more issues than usual so you'd been spending even more of your time with the officers. Today however was a long overdue day off and you'd been spending it curled up in your quarters reading. Deciding you needed to get out for awhile, you went to get something to eat. You grabbed your food and were making your way to a table when someone stopped you. 

"Hey, Y/N," the brunette said. You'd seen her around before but couldn't recall her name at the moment. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure," you answered with a frown. 

"What's going on with you and Captain Kirk?" She smirked as she asked the question. 

You raised your brows in annoyance. "We're friends."

Another woman came to stand near her and you shifted your gaze between the two of them. "Just friends? Or friends with benefits?" the brunette asked with a chuckle.

Now your patience was gone. "I already answered your question and I fail to see how that's any of your business or concern. Now if you'll excuse me," you said and turned to continue your journey to a table. The petty gossip amongst the crew had always annoyed you.

"I'm sure she's 'just friends' with Scotty and McCoy as well," the woman's friend giggled. 

Your steps halted for a moment.

"Don't forget Spock," the brunette said. 

"Oh, please. Like he'd loosen up enough to be intimate with anyone," the other replied. 

You slammed your tray onto the nearest table and did your best to ignore them. Though you made sure to sit where you could keep an eye on them. As you ate you watched them sit with other crew members and laugh with an occasional glance in your direction. You barely acknowledged your friends as they sat at your table. 

Finally, you glanced around at them to find them lost in conversation. "How long has this been going on?" you asked and they all turned to look at you. 

"What?" McCoy asked, his brow furrowed.

You pointed across the room to the two women with your fork. "That."

You might not have noticed it, but you knew Kirk would have. It was just how he was. You watched as everyone but Spock looked uncomfortable. He just studied you with a frown. Kirk and Bones exchanged a look and shifted in their seats while Scotty rubbed a hand across the back of his neck. 

"Well, lass...the thing is..." Scotty started and trailed off.

You scoffed in disbelief and put your fork down. "Seriously? You all knew and you didn't say anything?"

Picking up from your voice that you were more annoyed than angry, Kirk grinned at you. "What were you going to do about it?" He shrugged. "And it's not like any of us minded being paired with you."

"Maybe I don't want to be paired with you. Did you ever think of that?" Kirk frowned, looking almost hurt and you laughed.

"Forgive the interruption, but could someone explain to me what it is precisely that you are discussing?" Spock asked. He briefly glanced around the table before his eyes settled back on you.

Your lips twisted into a smirk. This should be interesting. The other three men turned to you and you shook your head. "Oh, no. You explain it. Consider it your punishment for not mentioning it before."

Kirk sighed and leaned forward. "Okay, Spock. See the thing is...Well, sometimes when...People have been..." He stopped and leaned back. "Nope. Can't do it."

"What Kirk is tryin' to say is that people assume that the lass has..." Scotty cut off and turned to look at McCoy. "Bones?"

You leaned back in your chair with your arms crossed over your chest smirking in amusement.

McCoy groaned then muttered something under his breath as he ran a hand down his face. "Look, Spock. There's no delicate way to say this, but there are rumors going around the ship that Y/N is sleeping with us."

Spock arched a brow. "That is illogical. The Lieutenant has her own quarters."

You snorted a laugh and Spock gave a little smirk you're certain no one but you saw. He knew perfectly well what they were getting at.

"Don't be dense, Spock," Kirk snapped. "They think she's having sex with the three of us."

"But there are four of us, Captain," Spock corrected.

"Yeah, they don't think she's doing anything with you, Spock," McCoy said sourly.

"I see," Spock said as he pushed his chair back from the table and glanced around the room before making a beeline to the women in question.

"What's he doin'?" Scotty asked surprised.

You shook your head. "I have no idea. Let's go find out."

The four of you stood a short distance away as Spock got the attention of the table where the women sat. "Excuse me, but it has come to my attention that you believe Lieutenant Y/L/N has been having intimate relations with the Captain, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Scott. I feel it is my duty to inform you that this conclusion is illogical. Ms. Y/L/N is my fiancee and spends the evenings with me. Therefore she does not have the time to entertain another man, let alone three."

Everyone at the table gaped at him with wide eyes while you chuckled. 

"Fiancee? Since when?" Kirk asked quietly. 

You held up your hand to show him the ring. "Last night. He proposed on the observation deck."

"When were you planning on telling us, lass?" Scotty asked with a frown. 

"At dinner. You three don't have to know everything about our relationship, you know," you said as you frowned right back.

Bones snorted beside you. "Oh we know. You didn't even tell us you were dating for six months."

Someone cleared their throat and you turned away from your friends to find Spock standing in front of you with a smile. Leaning forward, he captured your lips with his. You were stunned for a second and then returned the gesture eagerly. "What was that for?" you asked as he pulled away. Spock had never been one for public displays or declarations.

"I believe the crew members were having difficulty accepting that we are indeed in a relationship."

You shook your head and grasped Spock's arm to pull him from the room. His public display deserved a reward in your opinion. You glanced over your shoulder to Kirk. "Spock is suddenly not feeling well, Captain. He'll be taking the rest of the day off."
