Star Trek Imagines (Reader-Inserts) Part Two

AOS/TOS/SNW. Spock - Hot Chocolate

"You've never had hot chocolate?" you exclaimed to your boyfriend, who was being told all about various winter activities you used to do on Earth—including drinking hot chocolate.

Spock raised an eyebrow. "No. I grew up on Vulcan, where it was quite warm. And while my mother was human, she never introduced me to this hot chocolate. When I moved to Earth to attend the academy, the climate, too, was warm."

You huffed in disbelief, even though it made perfect sense. You always loved hot chocolate and it just wouldn't do that Spock had never had any. "Well, that's about to change."

You smiled and went to the replicator in your quarters. You got him a cup of hot chocolate and returned to the couch where he was sitting. "Here."

Spock looked at the cup suspiciously. "Is this not simply pure chocolate with milk?"

"Yes."

"So is it not just warm chocolate milk?" he asked.

You opened your mouth to protest, then realized he was kind of right. You laughed. "Well, yeah, but no. It's different! Trust me, it's really good."

"It seems unhealthy to drink something with so much sugar and little nutritional value," Spock argued, taking in the smell of the drink.

You rolled your eyes. "It isn't meant to be healthy, Spock. It's meant to be a treat."

"Hm." He sniffed it again and looked at you.

You smiled hopefully at him and waited.

Spock relented and took a sip of the drink. His brow knitted together slightly.

"Well?" you prompted.

"It is not was I was expecting," he admitted, taking another sip.

You laughed. "Do you like it?"

"It is enjoyable," Spock replied with a nod.

You grinned. "I told you!"

"It is very different than any Vulcan drink. And it is quite sweet. But it is quite flavourful, and I enjoy the flavour."

"High praise coming from you," you teased. You kissed his cheek softly. "Well, I'm glad you like it! And thank you for trying it."

Spock dipped his head and smiled slightly. "I saw how much you enjoy the drink and how much you wanted me to enjoy it with you. While its sweetness may take some getting used to, I am happy to enjoy the occasional mug of hot chocolate with you."

You smiled at him. "I appreciate that, Spock. Thank you."

"You are most welcome." He took another sip of the drink and his smile widened.
