First Kiss

"I swear, I saw them kissing." Everyone around the table stared at Sulu like he had grow another head.

"Define kissin'." Scott lowered the fork and raised both of his eyebrows.

"What?" Sulu asked with a perplexed face.

"Well buddy, you just said that saw them kissin'... in the bridge. But we're talkin' 'bout Spock and the Captain here." Scott shrugged his shoulders and everyone agreed with him. "Maybe you should explain what exactly did you see." Sulu blushed a nice shade of red while everybody at that table in the mess hall looked at him.

"Well... They were touching hands." Said the pilot, flushing a little more. All the officers around him blinked while Scott frowned.

"Touchin' hands." Was the unbelievable tone said by the Scottish. "Well... In my conception, touchin' hands means nothing." Everybody agreed with the engineer and Sulu got a little more pink until a snort coming from Uhura followed by a roll of her eyes got everyone attention.

"In Vulcan's culture, touching hands is the same as a kiss, petting is like a foreplay and so on. But I'm sure that whatever Sulu saw was a accident."

"One time makes a accident." Sulu defended himself. "Three times, for me, is purposeful."

"Mayve zey didn't know what zey were doin'." Checov added his two cents.

"I'm sure Spock knew what he was doing." Uhura rolled her eyes once more. "Or did you all forgot how he is sensitive about touch?"

"Mayve ze Keptin didn't know what he was doin'."

"But Spock knew and he would have told Kirk about that or at least asked him to stop." Sulu commented and everyone around the table made a positive sign with their head.

"Okay, it seems we're goin' nowhere with this." Scott pushed his plate away from him and crossed his arms over the table. "Maybe we should ask someone close to the Captain if they know somethin'."

"And you're thinking about who? Dr. McCoy?" Uhura arched both her eyebrows. "I don't think he knows something, or we would have heard the screams from the bridge." Everybody laughed thinking about the scene with the Captain telling his best friend about Spock and him and the good doctor yelling at Jim about craziness and threatening him with hypos and a strait jacket.

"No." Scott glanced in the replicators direction where a brunette with short hair and using the security uniform was.

"She would never open her mouth. That girl is better to keep a secret than a high security safe." Uhura smirked when she followed Scott's glance and saw Selece finishing to order her lunch to the replicator.

"She'll talk to me." Scott blinked one eye to Nyota and got up from his chair, going to Selece and stopping beside her. "So... How are you?" Gray eyes raised to look at the Scottish and dark slim eyebrows arched.

"Fine."

"Good." Silence came after his answer and meanwhile Selece finished to order her food and grab it, starting to look for a available table. Scott followed her like a fateful dog and sat beside her while she watched his acts with a distrustful look.

"Really, Scott, what do you want?"

"What make you think that I want somethin'?"

"You're following me like a lost puppy, you want something." Selece gave her sandwich a bite. "If this is about the override code that I put in the security room so you would stop going there with your dates..." She glared at him. For five times in the last year she caught Scott lip locked with some beautiful Ensign in the security room because, accord to him, it's very far away from curious eyes. Obviously it would be far away from others eyes, it was the security room, the place itself was Enterprise's eyes and ears. Everything that happened in the ship passed by there. The only problem was that Scott forgot that the room also had eyes and Selece wasn't happy to found out about his night encounters in there.

"I thought you've got over that." He smiled lopsided and her glared intensified.

"You can't get over about someone using your work space as a love hotel."

"Okay, I said sorry before and I'm sayin' again. Happy?"

"No." She kept looking at him with distrustful in her eyes and Scott gave a nervous grin before take a deep breath and open his mouth to ask what he really wanted.

"Are the Captain and Mr. Spock together?" Selece blinked repeatedly and frowned.

"Together? Well, they work together..."

"No... Together as a couple." She blinked again and looked around the mess hall searching for the origin of that conversation. The Captain and his First Officer weren't present at the moment, but she saw a table where Uhura, Sulu, Checov and company were looking at them with expectation on their face.

"Why do you ask that?" She turned her attention back to Scott.

"Sulu saw them kissing in the bridge." Selece's eyebrows raised so much that almost lost itself under her fringe.

"Lip lock with tongue kissing?" That was hard to believe. Never in a billion of years Spock would allow the Captain to make such a public display of affection. The Vulcan would probably nerve pinch Kirk again before anything happens, with them being or not lovers.

"No... Vulcan kisses according to Nyota." Vulcan kisses, the kind that only involve hands. That was hard to believe too.

"Maybe it was a accident?"

"One time is a accident... Sulu said they touched three times."

"Kirk is stupid." Now was Scott turn to raise his eyebrows. Everybody in that ship had a certain degree of respect about the Captain, even Uhura who started her relationship with him with the wrong foot, but Selece and McCoy were the only one that insulted Jim in public and weren't punished for that. Maybe because they really didn't mean it and half of the time both were being driven crazy by worry over the lad. "Maybe he though it was nothing to touch Spock, though that was only a friendship gesture and Mr. Spock is too polite to tell the Captain off." At least it was what she believed, or hoped that that was the explanation for what happened.

"So you don't know anythin'."

"Even if I knew something, do you think I would be telling you bunch of gossipers? Really, Scott." Scott gave her a large innocent smile that wasn't convincing at all and got up from the table, giving her a mock salute while she rolled her eyes and watched him going back to his friends. Really, if Jim finally got in Spock pants she would be the first to know by only looking at the Captain. So nothing happened... until that night.

It was the Gamma shift and she was the only one left in the security room because, really, in the middle of the night with only a skeleton crew working nothing big was suppose to happen. This was what she thought until the camera from one of the turbo lifts caught a curious scene. Spock and the Captain had just entered the lift and Jim was smiling that smile that always said he was up to something. The Vulcan was more rigid than a board and Selece could swear she saw a nervous tick under his left eye. Kirk smile became a smirk and then the impossible happened: he touched Spock.

It was something minimal, almost imperceptible if it wasn't for the camera's high quality of image. Jim was caressing Spock palm with the tips of his fingers and that made the First Officer freeze on the spot. Selece frowned, giving a zoom on the duo and saw that Spock eyes seemed to darken only with the touch. Jim took a step closer to his first in command, with the smirk still on place, and intensified the caressing. Something akin to a tremor ran Spock's body and suddenly he took his hand from Jim's and pressed the emergency button in the turbo lift.

There was a stop in the lift and seconds after that Spock turned to Kirk and grabbed the front of the Captain's shirt. Selece moved on her chair, thinking that the worst was about to happen and Kirk would be nerve pinched and marooned to a star to never come back when Spock pushed him against the turbo lift wall. She was about to call others security guards to go with her to save their Captain from a enraged First Officer when the unthinkable happened. Spock kissed Jim.

And no, it wasn't a Vulcan kiss. It was a very Terran kiss with lots of lips, tongues and hands going everywhere. Selece's eyes went large with what she was seeing and blinked a lot of times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. But you can't be delirious when you see a Vulcan molesting a human to the point where this same human knees turn into jelly. The hands were still everywhere and when Spock's long fingers found a way under Kirk's shirt Selece thought that was the time to put a stop on that.

With a big smirk she grabbed her communicator and dialed the Commander's frequency and saw through the camera that both had stopped when Spock's comm started to glow. Jim said something to the -half-Vulcan, probably telling him to ignore the call, and pulled him for another kiss. Selece didn't give up, only called again and was in the fourth time that Spock finally answered and by his tone he wasn't so happy about the interruption like Jim's face showed on the screen.

"Yes Lieutenant?"

"Commander." She said very sweetly. "Must I remind you that this ship has eyes and ears?" Kirk confused expression showed through the camera and Spock raised one eyebrow, probably he didn't understand her too.

"Lieutenant, I believe that it doesn't matter how many times the Captain and Mr. Scott like to refer to this ship as a lady, a real living person, I don't think that this is sufficiently to grow any kind of sensitivity organs in it." Jim laughed and Selece rolled her eyes.

"Of course not Mr. Spock. But as a Senior Security Officer is my duty to tell you that this was a figure of speech and also that a turbo lift has cameras too." She heard Jim curse through the comm. "So if you want to molest the Captain be my guest, but I would like for you to do this in your private quarters. Also, you're holding a essential way of transportation in the ship because you can't control your hormones. So if you please could press that button again..." She really gained the day when she saw Jim blush beautifully and a tinge of green paint the tips of Spock's ears.

"Of course Lieutenant." The half-Vulcan pressed the emergency button and the turbo lift started to move again.

"Thank you for your time boys. Have fun and be safe!" Kirk cursed again, flushing a little more and the green on Spock's ears went to his cheeks. Selece smirked more and cut the call, watching when seconds later the lift's door opened and both got out of it faster than they could. Through the cameras in the corridor she saw them going into the Captain's room and smiled a little more. Well, usually nothing fun happens in the Gamma shift, but with Jim as Captain there were always a first time.

Her smile became mischievous when she rewound the footage and edited only the part about the kiss. With the smile still on her face she attached the scene in her e-mail and send it to McCoy personal mail, getting back to work in that boring night. However, ten minutes later a familiar scream that came through the comm made her laugh.

"DAMN IT SELECE!"
