What Would You Do If…

Chapter 4

"I knew you would end up in a bar with me eventually, Spock. Sooner than I thought though." Kirk stated happily, as he downed his drink.

"You did not give me much choice, Jim." Spock answered almost depressingly.

"Well I noticed you are a little… off. And your girlfriend has seemed a bit cranky for the past couple a days, so what's up?"

Spock slightly lowered his eyes from Kirk's, he was not inclined to speak of personal matters with Kirk or anyone, especially when it came to matters of Nyota. But since the night Spock turned her game on her she had not been too pleased and hadn't asked another one of her questions. Nyota wasn't stern with Spock, but she wasn't as affectionate either. Which Spock was sorely missing.

"Come on, Spock. Don't be shy, you can tell. I promise I won't tell anyone." Kirk reassured.

Spock sighed and raised his eyes back up to Kirk. "I do not know if you are aware of the game that most females like to play, where they ask random, hypothetical, absurd questions?" Spock asked tentatively.

"Of course I know that game!" Kirk exclaimed. "That's the game that women usually start off with, 'What would you do if…' and then add some dumb ass random as hell question that usually makes the guy go 'What?!'"

"Yes, exactly. You seem very acquainted with the game." Spock said, relieved that Kirk knew the game he was referring to because he really didn't want to elaborate the details to Kirk.

"Yeah unfortunately I am very familiar with that torture game." Kirk said exasperated. "Wait, Uhura has been playing that game with you?"

"Indeed, she has." Spock answered.

"Oh my God that must be so funny! Of all people to play that game with, she does it with you! I can only imagine how you answer those questions!" Kirk was laughing ruefully.

"I don't understand." Spock began. "Just moments ago, you called the game the 'torture game' yet you find it amusing that I'm playing it?"

"Because Spock, outta all the races in the universe I thought the one male race that didn't need to endure that game would be Vulcans. Because you guys are too logical for that crap, then again if you're dealing with a human woman then that goes out the window." Kirk answered, still chuckling. "So tell me what kind of questions Uhura's been asking!"

That's what Spock was afraid of, he refused to share such details with Kirk, especially seeing as how one of those questions pertained to Kirk. "No." He answered.

"Aw come on Spock!" Kirk whined.

"I said, no." Spock repeated.

"Then what's the point in us talking about this?"

"You are the one who inquired. That does not mean I need to share all the details with you."

"Fine." Kirk sighed. "At least tell me what the problem is then. I mean you must be making Uhura happy with playing her game."

"Yes, she was. I believe she was having a little too much fun at my expense. So in my… frustration… I retaliated." Spock lowered his eyes again slowly.

"What kinda retaliation?" Kirk asked cautiously.

"I asked her a random inquiry of my own." Spock answered.

"So typical. Women love to play the game with us but when we try and play, they get antsy about it." Kirk huffed. "But wait I still feel like I'm missing something. Usually they just go right back to asking their ridiculous questions after letting you know that it's one sided. From the way you're making it seem, she stopped asking you the questions and is pissed off about something more."

"Well…" Spock began. "When I asked my inquiry, I asked in a inopportune time that got her… flustered. Although I must admit I was quite satisfied with the result, at the time."

"Inopportune time? Flustered?" Kirk still felt like he was missing something. "Wait… did you ask your question during an… intimate moment?"

Yet again Spock's gaze fell, but there was hint of smile on his lips. That's all Kirk needed.

"OH MY GOD! That's genius!" Kirk yelled a little too loudly.

"Jim, please lower the volume of your voice."

"I'm sorry, I can't help it. Hell, why didn't I think of doing that when a chick asked me those stupid questions? But of course you would think of doing something like that, you're practically a computer." Kirk was actually proud of Spock. "I don't believe in the whole history of the universe has any man gave a woman an appropriate dose of her on medicine, when it comes to their insane game."

Spock raised his eyebrow. "Although I appreciate your enthusiasm to my tactic, I do believe I am the one who has ultimately lost. She hasn't been hostile towards me, but she hasn't been quite affectionate either."

"Oh, she's holding out on you. See now that's just wrong, she asked for it." Kirk shook his head.

"I am not certain on how to proceed with her." Spock said.

"Don't worry you're a genius, you'll figure it out," Spock was always annoyed whenever Kirk said that to him, as if being a genius would just solve everything. "But if I were you I would find some way to keep getting back at her, even at the risk of no nookie. But I can be minutely vindictive." Kirk smiled.

Spock shook his head slightly. "Jim you can be an enigma at times. Sometimes you are insufferable, other times tolerable. And occasionally you mange both at the same time."

"Oh Spock, I've grown attached to you too." Kirk said in a teasing tone.

Spock just sighed with an ever so slight smile. And Kirk just laughed asking the bartender for another round of drinks.

***

Nyota was looking for Spock. She wanted to apologize for the way she was acting for the past couple of days. She was thrown off by the reverse of her game and didn't know how to handle it, especially in the intimate setting they were in when he reversed it. She was mad at first that Spock turned the game on her, but at the same time she knew he was right about the whole double standard thing. Plus despite herself, Nyota had to admit it was clever and amusing the way Spock went about it.

Nyota spotted Spock Standing underneath a tree on the campus lawn, looking across at the San Francisco Bridge. She quickly walked over to him.

"Hey." Nyota greeted softly.

"Hello." Spock greeted back just as softly.

Nyota got closer to Spock and snaked her arms around his slender waist, in a hug. Spock responded and snaked his arms around her as well.

"I'm sorry for the way I've been acting." Nyota apologized.

"Apology, is not needed." Spock responded.

Nyota held him tighter. "I was just so thrown off. But I have to admit you were clever in the way you went about it." Nyota complimented. She could feel the vibration of a quick exhale in his chest that indicated a slight laugh. "Plus you're right about the whole double standard thing. Women prefer the game to be one sided, which isn't exactly fair. So I want to let you know that if you want to play along you can."

Spock pulled slightly away from Nyota so that he could look into her face. "You actually want me to participate in your game, as well?" Spock asked slightly shocked, he thought she would want to cancel the game all together.

"Yeah. I'm sure you can come up with random, hypothetical, absurd questions of your own to ask me. Besides the whole purpose of the game is for humorous entertainment value. And I'm sure you'll humor me when you begin to ask questions. Just promise me you won't ask one when we're… intimate again." She slightly giggled the last part.

Spock pressed his forehead to Nyota's. "I surely will not." He promised.

"Good." Nyota smiled. She drew her arms around his neck and placed a light but passionate kiss to his lips. "So, want to make up for the past couple of days?" She asked seductively, biting her bottom lip.

"Very much so." Spock answered in a low almost purr like voice.

With that they headed to their quarters. I sure hope I won't regret letting Spock play along. Nyota thought to herself.

Next chapter, Spock's questions. Chapter 5 coming soon...
