Summary: It was a simple word. And yet, when used in a certain manner, in a certain tone, it could be laden with meaning.

Written for the Spock/Uhura Prompt: "Stay" over at the Spock_Uhura LJ community.


"Stay."

By definition, it meant to spend a length time in a place, in a situation, or with a person or group. It was a simple word. A common word. And yet, when used in a certain manner, in a certain tone, it could be laden with meaning.

Both of them stood before the open door. Neither moved. Neither spoke. They regarded one another.

The single uttered word stood in between them. Hanging.

Her eyes sought his. Questioning. Why?

"Stay," he repeated quietly, carefully.

His voice was without inflection. His eyes, however, spoke volumes. Stay with me.

She smiled softly and set her bag back on the floor.

And the door slid closed.
