AN: I set this sometime after the first movie. Good ol fluff – hope you like it

The Enterprise's reconnaissance mission on the planet Caldura was not going at all as planned. The Caldurans were proving to be difficult in every sense of the word, the ship's air conditioning had gone on the fritz, and half of the crew had come down with an itchy rash in reaction to Caldura's higher chlorine levels in the air. Everyone on The Enterprise was irritable and tired. Kirk had lost the remnants of his patience and energy dealing with the Calduran elders for the day and had delegated the job to Spock, whose Vulcan patience of iron was proving once again useful.

But Uhura knew the signs: the miniscule clenching of his jaw, the tiniest furrow of his eyebrows. Spock was stressed. And she knew exactly what to do about it.

Spock unlocked the door to his quarters, leaning against it as he closed it. His eyes felt tired and strained, his head hurt, and his shoulders were tight. Dismissing these annoyances as human weakness, Spock turned to go shower.

"Ashayam," came the soft voice. Spock froze, turning to find Uhura seated cross-legged on his bed.

"Spock, come here," she commanded gently. He obeyed, allowing her to pull him into an embrace. Spock closed his eyes as he felt her sweet breath against his ear, inhaling her warm scent.

"Ashayam, you need to relax. Do you feel how tight you are right now?"

He gave a slight grumble.

"Nyota, this mission outplays my current physical state. I need only to maintain my health to work."

"No, k'diwa, you need to take care of yourself for the sake of your happiness. How can you work if you're exhausted?"
"Nyota, you know very well that I…"

Her kisses traveled down his ear to his temple. Spock stopped talking.

"You need to relax….." she sighed into his neck. Spock gave a low moan in response.

"And you know what I'm going to do for you, my darling?"

"What will you do, k'diwa?"

"You're going to get a spa day"

Spock tilted his head back to look at her, one eyebrow raised quizzically.

"A…spa day?"
"Yup…you're going to love it"
