The Vulcan Cinnamon Roll (Spock x reader)

Chapter 1: intro

Walking down the corridor reading the acquired data of the last mission on your PADD you went to your station to assist the science officers with making reports on the data. You had quite many reports due in a few days, but luckily you only had a few reports left to write as you spent a few nights writing them. Walking to your station you set your PADD down and began typing away as you were focused on the task at hand.

You looked at the time.

'11:48'

Another 12 minutes and you could go to the mess hall and meet with Tilly and Michael. Luckily you had lunch at the same time as your friends today, you weren't in the mood to sit alone. Because then you wouldn't 'take a break' from your work, you'd just grab your PADD with you to continue with your reports instead of taking a moment to relax. Afterwards you would regret not taking a moment to rest as you would return to your shared quarters more exhausted than usual.

'11:59'

Finishing up on you report you began walking to the mess hall and went to replicator. You grabbed some food and a drink and scanned the room for your friends. You began walking to their table as usual and listened to the conversation Michael and Tilly were having.

"So I wasn't really sure how to approach Mr. Stamets," Tilly said as she flickered her eyes over the room to search for said person, "after messing up on the formula...again."

Michael chuckled as she saw the redhead lowkey panicking. "Relax Tilly, I'm sure he'll go easy on you, after all, he's become quite a jolly person, no?"

The redhead slowly nodded her head in agreement. "I guess so... That doesn't make it any easier though..." She pouted while eating some baked potatoes.

"So," Burnham looked at you as she spoke, "anything interesting happen in the past four hours, (y/n)?"

"Nope, just reports, reports and reports... though the data was quite interestin- "

Michael gave a small smile as she raised her hand to stop you from continuing as you had a habit of losing yourself in your scientific explanations. You guiltily smiled as you shut your mouth. Tilly laughed at Michael's reaction and ended almost choking on her potatoes. Oh Tilly...

As lunchtime ended you walked back to your station to complete your work. Greeting your fellow science officers, you continued your report. Next to your station was Kyle Marsh, a guy that graduated the same year as you. He became a friend after being stationed next to you. It was nice having someone to talk to while at work even though the two of you didn't say much, as the both of you were generally quiet people and too focused on your work.

After your shift you thought of reading a book after taking a shower. You were almost done with your reports which meant more free time, which meant more reading. When you were done with you shower you saw a notification on your PADD. From Tilly.

[Tilly]: (Y/n), there's something I want to talk about.

[Tilly]: I forgot to bring it up at lunch.

You were worried what kind of problem your favourite redhead would have but that worry vanished when you saw her third message.

[Tilly]: You know that guy that works next to your station... Anything interesting happen with him?

Tilly thought of finding a guy for you since no one's ever caught your eye and vice versa. You thought it was nice of her but you just weren't interested in anyone at the moment.

[y/n]: Tillyyyyy, you know there isn't anything thereee... by the way... you got your eye on someone?

You thought of firing her question back at her, which most of the time works because then she begins talking about herself, so you won't have to. You saw her typing her message.

After talking for hours, you decided to get some rest. As you said goodbye to Tilly, you went to bed and read a bit of your book before falling asleep.
