These are some different one shots. I really like doing these, it gives me a chance to experiment with the other characters I don't write as much. Tell me how I did!
Kirk liked the night because it meant time to play. Free to goof around and go have some fun. Hanging with friends and partying until dawn. Nighttime was time for the wild life. But as soon as the sun came up, he returned to his position as the responsible captain of the starship Enterprise. That is… until the moon rose and then the story changed.
Bones liked the night because it meant he got a break. Usually. Unless some idiot got himself into another scrape and he was left working all hours of the night cleaning it up. He also liked the night because then sickbay was peaceful. Monitors beeped, the lights were dimmed and patients slept peacefully on their way to recovery. He liked the feeling of fulfillment the night gave. The feeling of working hard throughout the day and then receiving the gratification of a good days' work at the end.
Spock liked the night because the stars rose. He did not care for sleep, he needed little of that. He liked the night because then it was time to work. Observing stars and charting constellations. Or if stargazing did not fit his mood, he worked quietly in the lab. No one was there to bother him and the quiet humming of evening was peaceful.
Uhura liked the night because then he could be with her. During the day, they went their separate ways. Never admitting, never letting on that there might be something there. But then at night, when they would sit quietly together in the darkness, gazing out at the stars, him holding her close, it was like a whole new world.
Scotty liked the night because that's when he considered the Enterprise to be at her true beauty. Her bright form cutting the way through the darkness as they charted their way onto places unknown.
Chekov liked the night because then he got to spend some time writing letters to home. The other crew members teased him. There wasn't a post office in space, didn't he know that? But Chekov knew and still he wrote.
Sulu liked the night because, well, Sulu liked to sleep.
