Chapter Text
1. - TOYS
Your day was not the most exciting one aboard the Enterprise. Nothing interesting or unusual happened so you spent a more or less boring day behind your console doing nothing else than running regular scans of the core and taking occasional looks at the Chief Engineer.
As always, he has his hands full. Even the obligatory maintenance requires his undivided attention and commitment. His precision and dedication to his work enchanted you initially, however from time to time it came in rather annoying. Whenever he gets to work, it seems like your feelings stop existing out of sudden, even though you are his colleague and a part of his team.
You scoff a little when he walks across you, barely giving you a look. The sound you made however catches his attention and he takes a look at the display in front of you.
“Somethin’ wrong?” he asks, bending over you. You just shake your head.
“Nothing in the warp engine, sir,” you reply bitterly and prepare to run another full scan. He nods and is about to walk away, when he realizes the tone of your voice and turns back to you.
“Yer grumpy, lassie,” he states and you find him so adorable and sloppy at the same time. Oh yes, elegance is not one of his qualities. He is a lovely gentleman, like a big teddy bear.
“I am, yes,” you reply softly even though you wanted to play a bit more offended. Get him to beg you for forgiveness… He takes your hand and strokes it lightly and you cannot hide a sweet smile.
“Tell me,” he whispers. You look up to him and take a deep breath.
“I feel neglected, Mr. Scott. It seems you take more care of the warp core than me.”
He laughs a little and then squeezes your hand in his.
“Oy, me loveliest,” he exclaims, “that might be ‘cause the Enterprise isn’t a strong independent lady. Like yer.”
He boops your nose and you can’t hold back a laugh as well as a blush. That romantic bastard knows very well how to get through to you. He bends over to you and gives you a short kiss on a cheek.
“Hmm, but let’s have some fun, what d'ya say, lass?” he proposes then.
“What do you have in mind?”
“How ‘bout...toys?”
You give him a curious look.
“Your quarters after the shift?”
“Ya bet yer arse, pretty.”

Scotty welcomes you to his place just like many times before and the well-known scent of black tea, leather and greasy clothes hits your nose just as every other time. He gives you a hug and a very long, sweet kiss in which you get completely lost for a moment.
“That was worth waiting for,” you whisper into his mouth sensually. He touches your forehead with his and holds you for a while in silence. It is a beautiful time and you cannot get enough of it. You notice he is unusually silent and you know it is because he does not want to spoil the moment. This sense of romance of his made you fall for him harder than for anyone before.
“Let‘s get ya out of those, what d‘ya say?” he whispers to you and you feel your body shiver as those words slip his tongue. You pull him a little closer.
“Only if you show me the toys you were talking about earlier?”
He smirks at you and then proposes: “Go get ready, I‘ll be right back.”
You blush again and give him a passionate look as you unzip your uniform and get in your tank top underwear and move yourself on top of his messy bedding. He never did his bed but neither did you, so it made you feel at home the first time you spent your night at his quarters.
Comfortable, out of the outer red shirt, you like down and make yourself comfortable in Scotty‘s bed, waiting for him.
He comes back after a few minutes and you have no idea where the hell he‘s been. But you notice he is hiding something behind his back and your curiosity rises. You sit on the bed and he shakes his head lightly. He has that playful, deceitful smile on his face and it makes you even more excited for what he has planned for you.
“Lie down, will ye?” he says and you obey him.
He sits on the bed and leans towards you. Bends over to reach for a kiss, but stops right before your lips touch. He starts laughing and before you are able to realize what is going on, he takes out a tiny toy car and uses your chest as a racing track.
You stare at him for a moment and then burst out into a cheerful laughter. He is just too sweet, you can‘t help yourself and wrap your hand around his neck.
“You silly nanny,” you whisper into his ear. You can feel his hold tightening, pulling you closer to him. Feeling his warmth, scent of his body and his deep heartbeat makes you relaxed. It does not take you long to fall asleep in his embrace.
