Might I Add? (Uhura/Sulu Fanfic)

9. Announcement

Sulu sat at a table with his friends. All of their lunches lined up and they could finally eat together. Uhura sat next to him, her hand placed on his leg. Sulu's hand was resting on top of it, gently holding it. They still hadn't told their friends, though Chekov had already figured it out.

Sulu glanced over at Uhura. She smiled at him and looked away. Sulu gently squeezed Uhura's hand and kept eating. Uhura rested her head on Sulu's shoulder. Scotty gave them a strange look but kept eating. McCoy squinted at them but shrugged it off.

Lunch ended too soon and everyone returned to their stations. Uhura and Sulu left together, hand in hand. They went to the bridge, letting go of each other's hands before the doors slid open.

Uhura and Sulu went to their respective stations. Uhura sat in her chair, working quietly. She was translating something. She loved her job. Uhura loved languages so much.

Uhura looked up from her PADD. Sulu was facing his station, working away. Uhura loved him so much. She was so glad that she had met him at the Academy. He was her best friend and her boyfriend.

Uhura returned to her work. She finished the assignment she was given and started another. She had finished three when her shift ended. She walked off the bridge at the same time as Kirk. When the doors closed, Kirk turned to Uhura.

"Are you and Sulu dating?" Kirk asked.

"What's it to ya?" Uhura asked.

Kirk crossed his arms. "I need to know."

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do."

Uhura finally looked at Sulu. "Are you getting money out of it?"

"Maybe," Kirk said. "Okay, fine. I'm getting money out of it. Are you dating Sulu or not?"

Uhura looked away. "Yes, I am."

"How long?"

"About a month or so."

"Why didn't you tell anyway?"

The doors opened and a few crew members joined Uhura and Kirk. They nodded to Uhura and Kirk. Uhura didn't answer until her crewmates left.

"We didn't want anyone to know yet," Uhura replied. "Don't tell anyone, please. We don't want it to be a huge thing."

"I won't," Kirk said. "I promise."

Uhura gave Kirk a look before getting off the turbo lift. She returned to her quarters. She made herself some food before sitting down on her couch. She heard an alert on her PADD. She sighed and set her plate to the side. She got up to grab it. Last time she saw it, it was in her room.

It was sitting on the nightstand next to Uhura's bed. She grabbed it and turned it on, seeing a message from Sulu.

'What are you doing tonight? Do you want to come over?' - Sulu

'Most definitely. I'll be over soon.' - Uhura

Uhura left her room and headed out. She greeted some friends on the way to Sulu's. She walked into his room confidently. He was sitting on the couch, eating an enchilada.

Uhura sat next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder. "That smells amazing."

"Do you want some?" Sulu asked.

Uhura shook her head. "I already ate."

"Too bad." Sulu took a bite. "It's delicious. Anita made it."

Uhura took the fork from Sulu's hand. "If Anita made it, then I have to have some.'

Anita was a friend of Sulu and Uhura's and she made the best enchiladas. She made good food in general. Whenever Uhura was hungry and didn't want to make anything, She went over to Anita's. She was always happy to make something for her friends.

Sulu got up and washed his dishes. He returned shortly afterward and sat next to Uhura. He took her hand in his and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Want to stay here tonight?" Sulu asked.

Uhura nodded. "I'll stay. It's been a while since I stayed over."

"What do you want to do?" Sulu asked.

"We could invite some people over," Uhura suggested. "Play some card games, hang out."

"Sure," Sulu said. "Maybe Scotty and Chekov?"

"Definitely."

Sulu reached over and grabbed his PADD. He texted Scotty and Chekov before setting his PADD down.

"You know, I told Kirk about us," Uhura commented.

"Really?"

Uhura nodded. "He wanted to know. Should we tell Chekov and Scotty?"

Sulu nodded, thinking and rubbing his chin. "I think we should. It's about time. We've been dating for a while now so it seems like about time."

Uhura looked up at Sulu. "I love you, Hikaru."

Sulu smirked. "I love you too, Nyota."

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Me too."

They sat in a comfortable silence until Scotty and Chekov came. Sulu and Uhura invited them in when open arms and they sat around the table. They started playing cards after a while of talking. After a few games, Uhura and Sulu shared a look.

"We've got an announcement," Uhura announced.

"Are you pregnant?" Scotty asked. He then got really excited. "Can I be the godfather?"

Uhura laughed and rolled her eyes. "No, I'm not pregnant." Uhura took Sulu's hand. "We're dating."

Chekov and Scotty gasped, faking surprise.

"Really?" Chekov sarcastically exclaimed. "That's surprising."

"You guys knew?" Sulu asked.

"Of course," Scotty answered. "It was pretty obvious."

Uhura and Sulu shared another look and shrugged it off. They spent hours playing and talking. The fun ended too soon and the two guests left. Uhura crashed in Sulu's bed. Sulu came in not too long afterward and laid next to Uhura, wrapping his arms around her. They both fell asleep peacefully.
