A.N.-This goes out to MizC, and her wonderful story "A Good Sketch." We both agree that Chekov is adorable. Also, I am a sucker for puns.
Disclaimer-I don't own Star Trek XI, but I would be happy were anyone to give me my very own Chekov.

I.
Music fills the room
Bass pumping loudly as his heart
He pauses on the floor
Taking seconds of second-guessing
Steels himself
And approaches her.
Her face is bored for a while
His earnestness draws her out, makes her laugh
She put her hand on his
But she forgot to warn him
Until her smile collapsed
As he did shortly after
How was he to know she had a boyfriend?
II.
It was worth it, he thinks.
He can't quite bring himself to care
About the bruises twinging all over
Because his hand is still warm
And he can still see her smile
And when his mentor asks
He proclaims victory.

So viele thanks to MizC for giving this her stamp of approval and helping it sound better. Please review!
