Yes Man - Antares 59
Nyota is taking good care of Spock and he has decided to let her.
Then let me blow your body dry
Kiss the tears from your sexy eyes
And as our passion begins to rise
We'll lay hypnotized by the pleasure inside
If you just say yes...
Say Yes
Song by The Whispers

"Nyota, do you know geological technician Fisher?" Spock asked out of nowhere. He and Nyota were lying in bed and feeling very relaxed as sweat cooled on their bodies after their "massage".
"Who?" Uhura asked with a drowsy voice.
"Technician Fisher?" he repeated.
"Fisher? Oh, the tech who witnessed my um... incident with that communications chief?"
"Yes, that is the one."
"Well sure, we were on that way mission together and he had to pull me off that jerk. I think I gave him a black eye. I guess I owe him an apology and a thank you. I'm glad you reminded me."
Spock was not glad he reminded her about Fisher but he continued. "And that is all you know of him?"
"Should I know more?"
"No..." Spock hesitated. "I was angry with you and Fisher, that is what caused the incident earlier," he said finally.
"Angry with me and Fisher? Why?"
"In the dream, it was Fisher who challenged me for you, and I ordered his execution."
"What? That's what your dream was about?"
"Yes." Spock was ashamed of his behavior in the dream even though logically he knew it was not reality. "I have behaved disgracefully and I apologize."
"Spock I don't have to tell you how illogical this all is? It was a dream. It was not real and it certainly was not you doing those things. I'm sure Fisher is alive and well in both this dimension and the other one. Well, maybe not in that one, you know how that ship is. But you didn't hurt Fisher or me."
"But I wanted to," he confessed.
"In a dream! Do you know, that after the Captain let Khan and his people go scot-free I was pissed off at him? They held us hostage and nearly killed us all and he just let them go! And I hated Lieutenant McGivers for her betrayal. It took me a long time to get over those feelings and stop dreaming of doing her grievous bodily harm. It's natural to feel angry after a traumatic event or when someone hurts you."
"But you and Fisher did not hurt me."
"But to your dream self we did. Look, you're having these dreams because you're sick with a virus. Normally you sleep a few hours at night and are back to work. I should have realized something was very wrong when you were sleeping so much. I should have taken better care of you," Nyota said in apology.
"It is not your duty to take care of me. I am an adult and I can take care of myself."
"Since you're sick, I'm going to let this nonsense slide. But you listen to me, Mister. We are a bonded pair. If you're sick then I'm sick, and if you need help then I'm here to help you. I'm your wife. Don't shut me out. Please?"
"I am sorry to disappoint you."
"You don't disappoint, not as long as you don't push me away okay?"
"Yes Aduna."
"So," she said thoughtfully. "Me and Fisher?" She made a frowning face of distaste. "He's not even my type."
"I did not know you had a type."
"Well, I do. My type is a tall drop dead gorgeous Vulcan with a stubborn streak."
"Ah, then it is a good thing you seduced me." Spock said without a hint of humility.
"So you admit you're stubborn?"
"So you admit you seduced me?" he shot back.
"I didn't seduce you."
"You did Aduna, but I am not complaining."
Uhura sat up enough to lean over and pin Spock's shoulders down on the bed. She looked at him pointedly, "You better not Mister. Not when I brought my A-game."
"Ah, I did not realize this was a sport."
"Not a sport but it does require a degree of physicality and you know I'm very competitive. I play to win."
"And what did you win?"
She bend her head down to gently kiss his lips and then say, "You. You challenged me, you know. You said you would not be able to relax and so I had to prove you wrong."
"You were right Aduna."
"Spock, you should record that and play it back every time I tell you something."
"I do not think a recording will be necessary, I have perfect recall."
"Good. You better recall this moment."
"I will. I will recall it and cherish it forever."
"Awwe." She swiped the sweat-dampened strand of hair from his brow.
"Spock, when I said I was in this with you and that when you're sick I am too, I really mean that."
"I know you believe it."
"I don't just "believe it", it's true. You didn't cause those telepathic incidents all by yourself. I had a hand in it too. I seduced you in the lab and caused you to drop your defenses. And even that dream you had, it was the thought of me betraying you that made you so angry. Just like on that colony it was the thought of someone touching me without YOUR permission that made me so angry. Whatever it is that's happening to you, it's happening to me too. So you are not alone okay? And don't apologize for needing me to care for you. That's not something extra I do. That is my duty as your wife just as you have your duty to me as a husband."
"Yes Aduna," Spock said agreeing with her and feeling duly chastised.
Uhura reseted her head on his shoulder again. "Hmm. Your agreeing with me has left me at a loss for words. I think this is the most productive conversation we've had in a long time."
"Yes Aduna," he agreed.
After a while she asked, "Are you still relaxed?"
"Yes Aduna."
"You want to go for round two?" she asked while she leisurely rubbed his legs with her feet.
"Yes Aduna."
"Good answer," she said bringing her A-game back into play.
