Written for the Uhura, Gaila, resolves to make it up to Gaila challange at bridge2sickbay.
and thank you so much to Banbi-V and Trekkie2. You guys are amazing :)
It was her fault. Or, to be more specific, Gaila blamed her. At the time, running Kirk off had seemed like the no brainer thing to do. However, there were implications. Gaila and Kirk had broken up not long afterword, and ever since, Gaila had been in something of a romantic slump. Uhura knew that it wasn't that Gaila didn't want to be in a relationsip, but it seemed that the guys Gaila was noticing latley seemed to be unavailable and Uhura couldn't shake the feeling that this was somehow her fault.
As she walked into the mess hall next to her sullen, taciturn friend, Uhura resolved for what seemed like the thousandth time to make it up to her. The question was - how?
Then she noticed the lone, red - clad figure, holding a sandwitch, staring at Gaila with a look of pure adoration, and an idea came to her. She racked her brain, and remembered him giving Gaila the same look every day as they walked into the mess for lunch, but as far as she knew, Gaila didn't know he existed.
With that thought in mind, she made her way over to the person in question, noting the shocked look of something akin to horror he shot her. Still, she didn't stop until the two of them had reached his table.
"Hey" she said, her voice bright as she sat down, and he managed to reciprocate the greeting.
"Gaila, this is Montgomery Scott."
"Ye can call me Scotty. Everyone else does." He said, smiling at her, and Gaila smiled back.
A few weeks later, when they became officially a couple, Uhura congratulated herself on a job well done.
Hopefully you enjoyed :) and remember, reviews make me happy :)
