Hey guys, Oracle here! Sorry I dropped off the radar for a bit. For a while there, it seemed like some higher power had decided to make my life as horrendously difficult as possible. -_-; Right now I'm waiting on my school to tell me if I've made it in to the second year of my course, and the waiting is KILLING ME!

As an alternative to ripping my own hair out, I decided to post some fanfiction. xD These are going to be a series of one shots, some of which might be a little AU, but nothing too heinous, I don't think. No worries, 'Fixing her heart ...' and the sequel to 'Whatever you do ...' are in the works! Like I said, I've had a little bit of a fanfiction writer's block going on, but I will try. Without further ado, or bitching from me, enjoy. :)

When Nyota figured out how Jim and Spock felt about each other, and that they'd been dancing around the issue for months, she wasn't as surprised as she figured she should have been. She did, however, have one question. The xenolinguist looked at her ex as the two sat in her room, and she gave him a critical look. "Doesn't it bother you, though?".

"To what are you referring?".

"When he flirts with all those women. Doesn't it bother you?".

"To be bothered by it would be illogical.".

"Oh, don't give me that. You just told me you're in love with your very male Captain, and now you're pulling this 'Illogical' crap?".

Spock placed his mug of herbal tea on the table the two were sitting at, and glanced at his hands as though he were thinking of an appropriate answer. He looked at his ex girlfriend turned closest friend, and seemed to decide that to try talking his way out of this would be futile.

"You are correct, Nyota. And in answer to your question, yes, Jim's flirtations did bother me.".

"That's better. So, what changed?"

"Time, and the realization that flirting is in Jim's nature. He really cannot help it. However, since discovering how it affected me, he has made efforts to refrain from flirting.", Spock explained. He'd have to pry it out of her with a crow bar, but Nyota had to admit that by doing so, Jim had earned some serious 'best friend' brownie points in her book.

'Which, knowing Kirk, he'll probably need to cash in sooner rather than later.', she thought to herself.

"Well, at least he's showing some maturity. If I were you though, I'd have blown a gasket when that Andosian princess started flirting with him at the meeting last night.", Nyota conceded. She still didn't like Kirk, per say, but Spock loved him and she loved Spock, so she'd deal.

"I confess, the thought did occur.", Spock admitted. "However, it is in situations such as those where I remind myself that he will not be leaving with them, but with me."

Nyota laughed at that as she read between the lines. She was happy Spock was embracing the human side of himself, and that he was happier because of it and Kirk. The following week, however, she saw that Spock was still learning to practice what he preached when an female scientist began flirting Jim while off planet. Though he would deny it with his last breath, Nyota read it on his face clear as day when he moved to 'alert the Captain to some interesting finds', effectively interrupting the woman's attempts.

She bit her tongue to stop herself from laughing when she read and translated Spock's facial expression as he lead Jim away. 'He loves me, he loves you not. So back the hell off, bitch.' _

Hah... I love the idea of a subtly jealous Spock. xD And Uhura would probably be a really cool best friend. Hope you enjoyed it.
Until next time! (L)
