I woke up the next morning cuddled up against Hikaru, face buried in his neck. His arms were wrapped tightly around me and he was smiling down at me lovingly, stroking my hair gently. His smile brightened when he noticed me waking up.
"Good Morning darling." He whispered lovingly, kissing me gently. I smiled up at him as I kissed him back, pulling him closer as I woke up more.
"Good morning." I murmured before grinning. "I can get used to vaking up this vay." I glanced at the time before sighing. I had to be up on the bridge soon but I didn't want to move. I was so comfortable in his arms and it finally felt like my life wasn't shattering around me.
He noticed my sigh and kissed my forehead. "I am going to be on the bridge with you darling. Then we can get dinner at the mess hall and come back here to eat it. Make a date of it." I smiled and snuggled closer to him.
"That sounds like a brilliant plan." I was still a little worried about what was happening between us but I was hopeful about the future. I smiled and kissed him gently before getting out of the bed and heading towards the bathroom. "See you on the bridge?" I asked over my shoulder at him. He smiled from the bed and nodded.
I went into the bathroom and got dressed, hearing Hikaru leave the room. I hummed as I finished getting ready before heading to the bridge. Jim was already on the bridge when I got there and they gave me a worried look but I smiled and nodded at them, letting them know everything was okay.
I sat down and started working, waiting for Hikaru slightly excitedly. I had just seen him but I wanted to see him again. I guess that's what love does to someone.
My breath caught in my throat and tears welled in my eyes as Hikaru exited the lift onto the bridge with kiss reddened lips, his hair messed up as if someone ran their hands through it, and his clothing in slight dishevelment. It happened again.
Jim noticed the tears in my eyes and stiffened immediately, turning to look at Hikaru. He immediately commed Bones before standing up and intersecting Sulu. "Lieutenant Sulu, CMO McCoy will be up in a minute to escort you to medical. You will be excused from duty today until you are sorted out." He ordered in his Captain's voice.
Before Hikaru could argue Bones exited the lift, immediately putting his hand on Hikaru's shoulder and leading him back to the lift. I wiped at my eyes furiously, trying to stop the tears. I was terrified. I couldn't understand why someone would want to do something like this to us.
Jim excused me from duty as I couldn't focus through my tears. As I was leaving my replacement came up onto the bridge. I didn't notice the satisfied smirk on her face as she took my seat or the pleased look she got when she noticed my pain. I didn't notice but Spock, ever observant did and though he didn't quite understand what it was about he made a mental note to mention it to Jim.
I retreated quickly to my room and threw myself down onto my bed; the very place Hikaru and I were cuddling just a half hour before. Tears stung my eyes as I fought back sobs. I didn't blame Hikaru this time; I knew it wasn't his fault. He was as much a victim of this as I was. He just didn't suffer through it like I was as he had no memory.
I cursed as I sat up, wiping my eyes and stealing my resolve. I would figure out who was doing this to us if it was the last thing I did. I knew without a doubt that the cause of this was me. Somebody was out to get me but hurting the person I loved in the process. That in turn hurt me more.
I clenched my hands in anger, the pain finally fading slightly. I would deal with people hurting me all they wanted, I had put up with it all my life for being smarter than others but I would not allow the people I cared about to be hurt, especially not because of me. I would find out who was doing this and I would make them suffer.
