Prompt: Spock, McCoy, Uhura - The Past
Aftereffects
″It was not an event that the Doctor nor I engaged in purposefully, Nyota. It is not something that will reoccur. I do not understand your persistence in discussing the matter.″ Though his voice revealed nothing more than a faint curiosity, Nyota could sense faint tremors of guilt, fear, and frustration in the back of her mind.

″It was an... affecting circumstance. It does not mean that my admiration for you is-″
Nyota cut him off. ″I know, Spock. Believe me, I know.″
Spock opened his mouth to speak again, but closed it again when Nyota continued.
″I can tell that you desire Leonard, Spock.″ Nyota tapped a finger to her temple. Before Spock can respond, she held that finger up towards him with a shushing gesture. ″And I can understand why. I can also tell that he desires you as well.″ This time, she motioned towards her eyes and her heart. ″It's okay, Spock.″
″You... would not object to the Doctor and I...″ Spock was, uncharacteristically, lost for words.

Spock raised an eyebrow at her, sensing the truth in her words. ″Fascinating.″
