Might I Add? (Uhura/Sulu Fanfic)

7. What's It Gonna Be?

Uhura left later that night. Sulu felt her lack of presence, but he didn't need to be clingy. Clingy wasn't a good quality to have. Especially if you haven't really made things official with the person.

As Sulu laid in his bed, he could still smell Uhura. The bed felt empty without her. Sulu's life wouldn't be the same without her.

Sulu laid there, looking at the empty spot next to him. Sulu rolled over and closed his eyes. He needed sleep more than anything. There was an important meeting the next day that Sulu had to attend. He couldn't be falling asleep in the middle of it.

Sulu woke up before his alarm. He got up and got dressed. Sulu grabbed a small breakfast before heading out. Uhura joined him on the way to the turbo lift.

"Good morning, Nyota," Sulu greeted.

Uhura flashed a smile at Sulu. "Good morning, Hikaru. Are you going to the meeting this morning?"

"Of course," Sulu answered. "And you?"

"Yes," Uhura replied as they got on the turbo lift. "Can I have a bite?"

Sulu nodded and Uhura took a bite. Uhura quickly kissed Sulu's cheek before pulling away.

Sulu laughed. "You missed."

"Oh really?" Uhura said, smiling.

"Mhmm," Sulu hummed as he leaned down and kissed Uhura, wrapping an arm around her waist. Uhura wrapped her arms around Sulu's neck and buried her fingers in his hair. It was sweet and tender.

Uhura pulled away as the doors opened. Uhura sent Sulu a smile and a wink before walking away. Sulu smiled and chuckled to himself. Sulu sat beside Uhura at the meeting table. Sulu immediately placed a hand on Uhura's leg. She entangled her fingers with Sulu's.

Everyone joined the two and the meeting started. It was long and boring. Uhura squeezed Sulu's hand and rested her head on Sulu's shoulder.

The meeting when on for a few hours. When it ended, Uhura and Sulu went to REC Room Three. They sat at their usual spot on the couch. Uhura looked over the table, smiling at the pictures.

There was one where Sulu had taken a picture of Uhura at a cafe somewhere. Uhura had a giddy smile on her face as she sipped her tea. She looked in utter bliss. That picture was taken the summer before Uhura's sophomore year.

"We've spent a lot of time together," Uhura muttered.

Sulu hummed. "Of course we have. We've been best friends forever."

Uhura looked up at Sulu. "Do you want to spend the rest of our lives together?"

Sulu cracked a smile at her. "Sure, darling."

Sulu kissed Uhura. She placed a hand on his cheek and kissed back. Sulu wrapped his arms around Uhura's waist. Uhura placed her hand on Sulu's shoulder. Sulu pulled Uhura closer, deepening the kiss.

Uhura pulled back and meet Sulu's gaze. "What are we, Sulu?"

"You could be my girlfriend if you want," Sulu asked.

Uhura pecked Sulu's lips. "Of course."

Hours later, Sulu and Uhura were laying in bed. Sulu was tracing Uhura's body with his fingers, taking in every part of her body.

Sulu gently kissed Uhura's shoulder. Uhura moved her head and buried her head in Sulu's chest. Sulu wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer.

Uhura began to run her hands over Sulu's chest. "So what are we going to tell everyone?"

"Nothing, for now, I guess," Sulu murmured. "Just see how it goes. Sound okay?"
