So Contagious
ScottyOC One Shot
She works in Sick Bay. He works in Engineering. She is a head Nurse. He is a Superior officer. They run into each other, all Hell breaks loose.
"What the devil!" Both of them exclaimed at the same time, both having Irish accents and using the same dialect. They stared at each other, before a grin broke across Scotty's face.
"Sorry, lass. I didn't mean te run inte ya." Scotty apologized, helping the girl up.
"Mea name's Megan." Megan curtsied politely to him and smiled.
"Ah, yer the Head Nurse in Dr. Bones's Sick Bay." Scotty recalled. "Oh, curse my impoliteness. Mea name's Montgomery Scott, but ya can call mea Monty or Scotty."
"Scotty, where 'ave I heard that name before? Ah, the Superior Engineer, the Master of Dilithium!" Megan smiled brighter and looked straight into Scotty's blue eyes.
"Master of Dilithium? Hm, thank ye fer the new nickname I've never heard." Scotty muttered.
"Well, Scotty, how's 'bout we go te lunch together?" Megan asked.
"That'd be wonderful." Scotty replied.
Three months later...
"Scotty, stay alive, please." Nurse Megan began to cry, holding Scotty's paling and slowly losing grip hand.
"Why should I stay alive, Meggy? I'm nothin' to ya, except a friend of course." Scotty coughed and heaved, blood splattering on a napkin. Blood was all over the bed, pillows, floor, and...Megan. Scotty wanted nothing more than to die. He'd gotten into a fight with Megan's boyfriend after he called her such names no boyfriend should ever call their supposed-to-be-rightfully-respected girlfriend. Now he's gotten blood all over her, all because he loved her and wanted to just protect her for the rest of his, Jim's, McCoy's, Uhura's, Spock's, his engineering crew's and, of course, her life.
"Don't. Please, I want you to be here! I need you to be here with mea!" She paused, unassure of how to say the next sentence. Finally, after much anticipation of the other nurses and Doctor McCoy, she said it. "I love you, Montgomery Scott." Scotty stopped breathing, his heartbeat escalated, and his eyes went wide.
"I love you too, Megan Morgan." Scotty kissed Megan, her eyes immediately fluttering closed. They felt that little spark of love turn into a raging fire in their veins. From then on, after Scotty was allowed to leave the Sick Bay but only if he came back for examinations, which, his truly, did for him, Scotty's kissed became...so contagious.
