Nice To See You Awake

(Rewrite of the FFT scene with Uhura leaning over Scotty in Sickbay.)

His Scottish brogue warms my heart and causes my loins to ache. I've wanted him for years and now he lays before me unconscious from bumping his head. The feel of his body is driving me insane, but I must ignore it. I can't let my passions interfere with our current mission, yet I can't resist running my hands along his burly chest.

Too bad we're in Sickbay or I would bring him back to consciousness with sweet kisses on his warm moist lips.

"Hi ya, Suga!" I try to soothe him with a smile as he slowly awakens. I was glad to see his beautiful eyes open again. "Nice to see ya with us again."

"Uhura, I had the strangest dream. I dreamt a madman had taken over the Enterprise!" he exclaimed.

"My dear Scotty, he isn't a madman," I inform him as I caressed his face lovingly.

"He's not?" He looks shocked by my statement.

"Sybok's put us in touch with feelings we've always been afraid to express," I gaze at him longingly and start to kiss him.

"I... er..." he wiggles out of my arms and quickly gets off the bio-bed, "have to get back to the transporter."

"But there's so much I want to tell you," I insist as I try to get him to relax again, but he just squirms away from me again. "After this is over, have dinner with me."

"Maybe when I'm a wee bit stronger, me lass," he replies on the way to the doors of Sickbay. "Fer I dinna think I can take it in my present condition," he turned and touched my cheek gently, "but we still 'ave plans to 'ave shore leave together. I 'aven't fergotten that."

I smile as I watch him leave and once again find myself alone, but this time I have a date with destiny when this mission is finished.
