AN: I've never done a story comprised of drabbles, so here we go. These are in no particular order. Enjoy! I do not own Star Trek and I am not paid for any of this. As such, scathing or belittling reviews will be promptly deleted.

She dreams of him, up ahead in the distance, walking among other people—other Starfleet officers and lieutenants and cadets— and calls him over and over again, but he never turns.
Nyota wakes in tears. Frustrated, heartbroken. In reality, it's been three weeks since he ended it.
A few nights later, she has another dream. He opens the door to his home and tells her, "I'll be back" and she sits there, waiting.
He never returns.
Yet another dream finds her trying to get up the stairs to her bedroom where she knows he is there, but every time she tries to climb up to make it to him, something stops her—her foot catches in a crack; her mother calls her to help in the kitchen; she gets caught up chasing after the dog she had a child.
Then one night, her dreams take a turn for the best. She dreams he is there, finally, with her in her dorm room in James Hall.
"Stay here, with me. Please," she murmurs against the soft cotton of his uniform. "I just…I just want to stay right here with you."
In just her dreams, she can feel the realness of his arms tightening around her. "Nyota," he sighs, "you have always been illogical when it comes to you and I."
