What Would You Do If…
Chapter 2
It was the morning after Nyota initiated her game. Her eyes fluttered open as she began to wake from her contented sleep and she moved slightly to make an attempt to get up. A smile graced her lips as she felt Spock holding onto her tighter as he felt her stir.
"I do not wish you to leave this bed quite yet," Spock said in a deep raspy voice against her ear. It made Nyota quiver slightly as it always did.
"Yes, Commander." Nyota obediently stayed right where she was, caressing the hairs on the back of Spock's hand.
Suddenly, but not unpleasantly Nyota shifted and turned to face him on the bed. She pressed her lips to his and he immediately responded, pulling her body closer up against the length of his. She racked her fingers through his hair pulling him in closer, as the kiss got deeper.
Unexpectedly a new question for her game popped into her head. Oh he is not going to appreciate me stopping this, to ask my question She thought amusingly. She pulled reluctantly away from his warm lips and looked at him in his questioning eyes.
"What would you do if…" Nyota began "I just got up without putting on my clothes and walked right out the door heading for the bridge?" God I'm awful She thought.
Spock shook his head almost vigorously and blinked once, hard. "What?!" he said in the most confused voice she had ever heard Spock use. It almost made her laugh.
"What would you do?" Nyota pressed.
"Rest assure if I saw you make any attempts towards the exit without your clothing I would not allow you to step one foot out that entrance, let alone seemingly finding your tread all the way to the bridge where all our mostly male colleges can behold you at their leisure. Further more if you are having any urges of doing so, I warn you to rethink that prospect because I will not be gentle on how I retrieve you." Spock answered quickly, efficiently, and almost… emotionally.
Nyota burst out into a fit out laughter, she loved his answer! Dare she think it, in his response she had detected the jealous rage Spock would have if any of the men on the ship witnessed her nudity. A vision Spock refused to imagine.
"Oh Spock, do you really think I would do that?" Nyota asked rhetorically. "Like I said, random, hypothetical, absurd. I have no wish for any other man to look at me naked but you, Love." She finished, as she held the side of Spock's face to comfort whatever anxiety she may have caused him, with such a thought.
"Duly noted," Spock began " It surely should never come to pass." That was Spock's way of saying, You better not want anyone to look at you naked.
Nyota just giggled at him, but there was a glint in her eyes that made Spock tense quickly as if getting ready for something. Nyota bolted out of the bed towards the exit, but Spock was much faster and grabbed her by the hips and easily threw her over his shoulder. She yelped when he did so, and playfully tried to struggle from his secure grip.
"I informed you that this would occur, Lieutenant," Spock said calmly with an almost mischievous tone to his voice, while walking towards the bathroom. "Now you will suffer the consequences."
Spock closed the bathroom door behind them, the sound of Nyota's squeals and laughter could be heard from behind the closed door. Yes, she would suffer the consequences and she would love every second of it.

Later that day on the bridge, things were uneventful and running smoothly. Soon in a couple a days the Enterprise crew would be returning to Earth for a month's shore leave. The crew was missing home to say the least, but they all knew soon enough that after being on Earth for a while they would miss the home of the Enterprise.
"Uhura, I believe you can go on your break in five minutes," Captain Kirk informed her, as he turned the captain's chair towards her.
"Thanks, Kirk." Nyota replied, she was still not quite used to calling Kirk "Captain" mostly because she knew he enjoyed hearing her say it, way too much for her liking.
She turned back to her station imputing a few things before it was time for her break. Just then a diabolical question enters her mind. Damn I really am horrible, Nyota thought. She leans her chair slightly closer towards her right.
"A question has come to mind," Nyota says to Spock in hushed tone so no one else would overhear.
"Lieutenant, this is hardly the time or the place to discuss such things," Spock said in an equally hushed tone.
"Remember," Nyota informed. "Random. And as I recall you did confirm that you would be up for this at anytime." She finished with a slight smirk, she knew Spock wouldn't back down.
With a sigh Spock spoke again. "Proceed."
"What would you do if…" Her smile was too devilish for Spock's liking. "If I got up, went over to Kirk and started to kiss him?"
"What?!" Spock exclaimed almost too loudly.
Nyota struggled to keep in her laughter. "What would you do?"
"Seeing as how we are in a professional environment my logic would inform me to do nothing and let the scene… play out until someone else like the Captain put a stop to it," Spock inhaled deeply, as if to calm himself. "But I highly doubt that our Captain would be so quick to dismiss you. So personally… I would have the urge to immediately detach you away from him and regrettably deliver another nerve pinch to the Captain." Spock finished looking slightly weary from answering.
Nyota felt a little bad looking at the weary expression in his eyes, but she had to admit his answer was funny. The thought of Spock giving a nerve pinch to Kirk again only this time out of jealously made it considerably funnier than the last time the act was performed.
"I certainly hope these questions of yours are truly hypothetical," Spock said looking at Nyota as if he wanted to seek some sort of revenge on her for asking such a question, in such an environment.
She smiled softly, warmly at the perturbed Vulcan and placed her hand on his knee lightly and discreetly. "You know they are," Nyota answered.
Indeed Spock did know, but that didn't make the questions any less unnerving. The corners of his lips tugged slightly upwards in response.
Nyota gave one last fleeting smile before she stood to go on her break, but she was still feeling mischievous. Spock watched as she got up, expecting her to leave the bridge but he saw that she was walking in the opposite direction towards the Captain's chair.
Spock's eyes widened slightly seeing where she was heading, but as soon as his blood was beginning to race, and as soon as she was directly in back of the Captain's chair Nyota sharply changed her direction back towards the exit of the bridge. She threw Spock a dazzling smile over her shoulder that only he saw.
She is fond of toying with me. I will punish her for that. Spock thought to himself. Before he turned back to his station he caught Kirk's confused glare.
Kirk apparently noticed last minute, Nyota's close proximity to his chair before she left out the exit. Was she coming to tell me something? Kirk thought bewildered. "What was that about?" Kirk asked Spock.
"I don't believe I know exactly what you're referring to, Captain," Spock answered with a smile in his eyes at the even deeper confusion of his Captain. With that Spock returned to his duties.
Those two are so weird, no wonder they're getting it on with each other. Kirk thought to himself still confused but already moving on.

Spock could eat breakfast anytime of the day. He preferred the typical contents of breakfast foods more so than any other meal of the day. Even back on Vulcan, however illogical he had a certain preference for breakfast. Even being the vegetarian that he was, when he came to earth he realized he enjoyed some animal by-products, his favorite… egg.
Nyota was in his quarters preparing dinner, rather breakfast for Spock. She knew that he was probably less than pleased with her today for her random questions, so she decided to make up for it by cooking him breakfast for dinner. She threw the fine chopped vegetables of tomato, onion, and scallion into the pan that already had vegetable oil coating it, before she began to beat the three eggs and pour them into the pan as well.
She looked over at Spock briefly in the living room. He was watching a movie on the broad monitor from the twenty-first century, Slumdog Millionaire. Nyota smiled and turned back to her cooking. She had suggested he watched all the different films that have won the Oscars. Not a lot a people knew but Nyota was a big movie buff. And she thought that this would be a good way to introduce Spock to full length Earth cinema. So far he'd been receiving this particular film well.
"Fascinating," Spock began. "To see India in such a time when it was still a young country from Independence trying to develop itself industrially. They had such a long way to go, that it affected some of their people from knowing history of their own country." He finished, his eyes still glued to the monitor when he directed the statement to Nyota.
"I know, it crazy how Earth back then on a whole had so many issues with itself and still had a terribly long way to go to reach what we have achieved now," Nyota responded. "I admit I'm slightly ashamed of mankind for taking so long to get their head out their asses long enough to advance the way we have, we should have achieved this earlier. Even now we can be such an… illogical race."
Spock's lips went upward slightly, eyes still on the monitor. "Are you actually acknowledging humanity's irrational nature, and how it can be counterproductive at times?"
"Don't get too cocky about your Vulcan heritage," Nyota snapped but there was laughter in her eyes, Spock saw as he turned his head to look at her. "You're half human, remember that."
Spock said nothing and continued to view the film, the slight smile still on his lips. A moment later he spoke again. "Indeed you have chosen a fine film for me to witness, Nyota." He said with an even yet teasing tone, still trying to get at her with their pervious comments.
"Shut up Spock, keep watching the film." Nyota could have sworn she heard a low laugh from him. Just then a new random question hit her. Since he wants to be cocky, I'll get him back for it right now, Nyota thought.
She placed his large omelet on a plate before garnishing it with some African seasoning that he had grown to enjoy, then placed diced fruit off at the side and walked towards him. Spock saw her arriving and immediately walked over to the table where she was about to place his food. He still had a good view of the film from the table, so his eyes were still focused on the monitor.
"What would you do if…" Nyota's voice snapped Spock's attention to her immediately. "I threw your food out in the disposal, even though I have already prepared it?" She finished, eyes challenging.
"What?" Spock asked in hush disbelief, he was looking at the plate in Nyota's hand that she was deliberately not placing on the table.
"What would you do?" Nyota had a wide closed smile on her face.
"First, please don't that," Spock began. "I will not begin to describe how much I wish you not to do that. Secondly, I have oddly been looking forward to this dish, for I have not had eggs in quite some time. And thirdly, I would be highly displeased with you, and would simply leave to the cafeteria for substance while contemplating your actions." Spock finished stiffly. It seemed that it wasn't only male humans that got cranky when they were hungry.
Nyota giggled and placed the plate in front of Spock. "Easy Vulcan, I'm not evil. I know you love vegetable omelets, and I haven't seen you eat in a while," Nyota kissed his cheek.
"I do believe your questions are becoming more, cynical." Spock stated, taking up his fork to begin eating.
Nyota teasingly pulled his plate away from his fork slightly. Spock raised his eyebrow. "Nyota." Spock warned. She slid the plate back with a chuckle as she went into the kitchen to retrieve her own dinner to join him.
Indeed I will punish her soon, Spock thought as he began to eat his breakfast.
