Chapter Text
You waited impatiently as Spock contacted the Captain, this was the second stealth mission you had done, and the first with Spock, which only made it worse. Your feelings for Spock were, confusing, to say the least. You weren’t even sure how much he could feel, and if he would feel anything for you.
Shaking yourself our of your thoughts, you tried to concentrate, this was not the time to start day dreaming, especially about one of your commanding officers. You turned and looked back at Spock, hearing the Captain speak to the two of you through your coms one more time.
“Okay guys, just get the weapon, get back to the storage bay and we’ll beam you out of there, we wont be able to communicate with either of you until then, try to get in and out before they detect you” Jim’s voice was quiet in your ear as you and Spock hid behind large crates.
“Yes Captain” Spock returned before looking at you, giving you the signal to move with him.
Staying crouched you hid behind a wall, listening and checking for any enemies, hearing nothing, you quickly, and quietly made your way down the ship corridor. At the end of the hallway you were faced with two separate hallways “Which way is it?” you asked checking behind you.
“I’m not sure” seeing you give him a questioning look he looks back down at his scanner “There is too much interference from their engines, I can’t get a clear signal”
“Okay. You take right, I’ll take left” you suggested.
“No, that would be too much of a risk, we should stay together” he thought to himself for a moment “I believe the weapons bay is on the right side of the ship, we’ll go there first”
As he continued down the hallway you followed quickly behind, a short time later finding yourselves outside the weapons bay. Carefully, you headed inside, looking for the weapon. A small bomb these aliens had been devising, small enough to go undetected, big enough explosion to destroy a large ship. Luckily there was only one so far. After finding it you made you way back out and down the same hall.
You didn’t get far before a loud siren sounded “They’ve detected us!” Spock yelled. The sound of running and shouting could be heard behind you.
When you got back to the split corridors, you heard more men running towards you from the way you needed to go. Looking at each other, you both silently made the decision to run down the left side hallway. About halfway down the hall you were suddenly pulled by your arm to the left.
“Wha-”
“Quiet”
Spock had pulled you into a small open space hidden just enough by storage crates. Hearing the aliens running by shouting, you both held your breath, fazers in hand, prepared to fight if needed.
As a large group passed, you turned to ask Spock what to do, but you were silenced when you realized just how small the space was. Your bodies were pressed against each other, so close that when Spock turned to speak to you as well, your faces were so close you swore you felt his lips brush yours. Such a faint feeling, like a light breeze touching your face, you weren’t sure if it actually happened.
Spock was silenced by the sudden realization as well. You two stayed in this position for a moment before you choked out a whisper “Should we move?”
Spock swallowed, unsure of why he was being so affected by the close proximity of your bodies, and lips. “No” he answered quickly “I hear more coming”
You turned your face slightly to listen, as well as to not be so close to your commanding officer, hoping he didn’t notice the red flush crawling across your face. You could hear a group slowly coming closer. As you waited, breath hitched, for them to pass. Spock was staring at the side of your face, unsure of why he couldn’t look away. He had never been this close to you before, he had never seen the imperfections on your face, the small freckles and scars, unnoticeable from afar.
After the second group passed you turned to look at Spock again, forgetting briefly how close your faces were, startled again by the closeness as your noses brushed, your lips too close for comfort.
“We go on three” Spock whispered, trying not to react to the fact that as he spoke, his lips brushed ever-so-lightly against your cheek, right next to your lips. He desperately tired to ignore the sudden urge to kiss you, something he had never thought of doing before, well, never thought of doing so fervently. He had always been attracted to you, but tried to ignore it, afraid that he might become emotionally compromised getting involved with you.
He could feel your heart pounding against his chest, unaware that it was because of him, not the fact that you were on an enemy ship. His lips were so close, part of you was waiting for him to kiss you, something you had found yourself day-dreaming about before, but the other part of you knew that he wasn’t going to, he probably didn’t want to, and now, in the midst of an enemy ship, was not the time to begin day dreaming.
“One” your heart began pounding harder, his lips brushed against your cheek “Two” your grip tightened around your fazer, his lips moving ever so slightly brushing lightly against your own “Three” you both slid out, much more gracefully that would seem possible, before running down the hall, towards the beam point.
Hearing shouting from behind you, you knew that you had been seen. Both of your turned firing your fazers down the hall at the oncoming enemies. Rushing into the storage room, you turned, firing your gun at the door pad, stopping it from being opened.
“Spock to the bridge two to beam up!” he shouted through his coms as the aliens began pounding and firing at the door.
“Do you have the weapon Spock?!” Jim asked.
“Yes!”
You and Spock looked at each other as you began to beam, your eyes locked. As the enterprise appeared around you, you looked around, seeing Scotty clap, glad you were successfully beamed out without trouble.
Looking back at Spock, you stared at each other, an almost knowing look in both of your eyes.
“That was a close” Jim said as he entered the room.
“What?” you asked slightly startled, turning and looking at the Captain “Oh, uh, yes I suppose it was”
Jim squinted slightly, looking between the two of you. Something obviously happened while you were out of com range.
Looking back at Spock he was looking at you with a curious look, one you’ve never seen before. Quickly, you left the platform and made your way out of the room, a smile forming on your face.
Spock watched you leave, unaware that a small smile formed on his face as well “Spock?”
Turning to the Captain he rose his brow “Yes Captain?”
“Did something happen down there?”
“I’m not sure what you are eluding to Captain” Spock said as he walked past Jim, leaving the room and a curious Captain behind him.
