Chapter 3
Chekov lay on his bed weeping. After Sulu left Rec room, without Chekov giving an explanation to what really happened, Sulu left. Which made Pavel feel like the worst person in the world.
There was a knock on the door. Chekov didn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment.
"Chekov? Are you in there?" It was Scotty.
"Come in Scotty."
Scotty along with Kirk, McCoy, Spock, and Uhura walked in. Chekov sighed. Great more people to ask me what the hell I did to Sulu.
Uhura came over and grabbed Chekov in a sister-like hug. Before Chekov knew it, he was crying into her shoulder.
"Oh Chekov, we came to hear your side of the story." She said gently.
"Pavel, call me Pavel." He said. He took a deep breath and collapsed onto of his bed and began,
"When I got up today I walked out of my quarters I walked into the Rec room to get Breakfast. However, when I got there, this weird girl was standing against a table. I had never seen her before, she was wearing a red uniform, not that that makes a difference. She knew my name. 'Chekov' she called. I walked towards her. I blanked out during the conversation, all I can remember from it is that she wanted Sulu out of my life and she wanted to take his place. I told her no and that I would never love anyone except Hikaru. She got angry at this and kept telling me, 'I was making a mistake.' She tried to kiss me, and wrapped her strong arms around my neck. After that, a nurse walked up to her and kicked her in the stomach. I ran into Conference room from there. I hid under the table and cried. I was there for at least an hour, when I finally left, I walked to my quarters, sure enough the girl who I didn't want to see at all, was there, sitting on my bed. I immediately left and went to the Rec room; she followed me. I turned around and faced her. Before I could even say anything she immediately wrapped her arms around my waist; I struggled to escape her grasp, but she was too strong. When she kissed me I attempted to escape by using my hands, and pushing against her shoulders. That when Hikaru, McCoy and Scotty walked in, it couldn't have been worse timing."

"There, now you all know the whole story. The only I want though is my beloved Sulu, but he'll never talk to me again." As Chekov started to cry again, he reached into his bedside table and pulled out a blue velvet box, "And to think-I probably will never be able to give him this."
When the others realised that it was an engagement ring box that Chekov pulled out, they realised how heart broken Chekov was, and that Sulu may never forgive him. All of them exchanged looks of shock.
As Chekov continued crying, Scotty picked up the box and looked at the ring inside. It was a mid-sized silver ring that was made up of twisted lines
"Chekov don't give up. You came this far and you need to keep going." Scotty said, "Now I want you to go to his quarters, tell him your side of the story, and get down on one knee and ask him to spend the rest of his life with you."
Chekov stopped crying into his pillow, grabbed the box from Scotty, and gave the five of them a big smile and left.

As Chekov walked through the decks on the ship, he hoped he would find Sulu in his quarters. He stopped when he got to Sulu's quarters. He knew the code to get in, because Sulu gave it to him when they became close friends; but after what happened in the Rec room, Chekov felt like he needed to ask to come in, rather than just walk in.
He took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" He heard a dull, quiet voice say.
"It's Pavel. May I come in Sulu?" Chekov asked.
There was a long silence. Just as Chekov was about to walk away, there was some footsteps, and the door opened with a whoosh. Sulu stood in the doorway, his face was still wet with tears, and his eyes were red.
"Why are you here?" He asked dully, with a sadness in his voice.
"I came to tell you my side of the story, and that I didn't cheat on you and that I still love you." He said as he put the small box into his pants pocket.
Sulu motioned with his hands for Chekov to enter.
Sulu sat down on a white loveseat on the opposite wall of his bed.
Chekov stood awkwardly in the middle of the room.

"You can sit down." Sulu said, and motioned for Pavel to sit beside him.
Chekov sat.
"I'm willing to hear your side of the story Pavel."
"Okay. This is what happened."

When Chekov finished telling the story, Sulu felt like the biggest moron in the world.
"Pavel, I'm sorry I accused you of cheating on me."
"That's okay." Chekov said, "Besides I've got a question to ask you."
Sulu had a confused look on his face.
"Hikaru, let me explain," Chekov began, "I love you, I love you 'till the end of the world. I would never hurt you and if I did I would apologize, and I would never forgive myself if I did. When we started dating, I had never been happier-"
"Pav, where are you going with this?" Sulu asked.
"Please, let me finish." Chekov said, and grabbed Sulu's hand in between his own. Sulu nodded.
"Until today, I never knew what it was like to be heart broken; or what it was like to lose something you love and need. Karu, all I mean by this is that I don't want to let you go, and that I want you to be mine forever." Chekov finished as he reached into his pocket and grabbed the tiny blue velvet box in his pocket.

As he slid off the side of the loveseat and onto the floor, he opened the box and got on one knee. He could see the confusion fade from Sulu's face, as it turned into shock and he eyes grew tears.
"Hikaru, will you marry me." Pavel asked.
At this point, Sulu burst into tears and kneeled down beside his boyfriend.
"Yes, of course I will Pav." Sulu said.
Chekov grinned because he was so glad to see his boyfriend agree to marry him.
Chekov slid the ring into Sulu's finger, and Chekov, in one single movement, grabbed his fiancée by the shoulders and pulled Sulu on top of himself, and gave him a peck on the lips.
"Wow, where did you get so strong?"
Chekov grinned and chuckled at this, and just gave his fiancée a good, long, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Two minutes later, exhausted and out of breath, they finally broke the kiss. Sulu continued to kiss Pavel's cheek, the corner of his lips, and down his neck, and rested his nose in between Pavel's collarbone and his neck. With Sulu's neck exposed, Chekov kissed down the edge of Hikaru's neck until there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" They both answered.
"It's Kirk, along with Uhura, Spock, Scotty, and McCoy." Kirk said.
"Come in." Sulu said.
The 5 of them walked in and saw the two of them, Sulu on top of Chekov, and clearly more in love than ever.
"Guys, Hikaru and I are getting married." Chekov said, in his adorable Russian accent.
