The library was empty, just two men stood at the front desk. Everyone had left the small run down place half an hour ago. With just ten minutes till closing it was just about time for the staff to go home as well. Well all except for one Vulcan who seemed to like to stay hours after the little library had closed.
"Do you ever get out of this place?" Doctor Leonard McCoy rose an eyebrow as he looked up at his Vulcan friend.
"Of course. When I am off work I go home to my apartment." Spock answered as he re-stocked a shelf with new books that had arrived to the library that day.
"That's not what I meant." Leonard sighed and grabbed a book from the Vulcan's hand. "I meant do you ever go out and have any fun? It seems every time I come in here you're always working."
The Vulcan paused and glanced down, "This is fun to me."
His answer was met by an eye roll from the doctor, "You need to get out more. How about you close down a bit early and come to get a drink with me. My friend runs a small coffee shop just down the street."
Spock glanced down at the pile of brand new books and sighed. "Leonard, I really need to get these books organized."
The older man was tired of his friend excuses. It was time to use force, he grabbed the Vulcan by the sleeve of his blue sweater and pulled him towards to door. "I'll come help you organize them tomorrow. C'mon you need a break from all these dusty old books."
"Wait Leonard-" Spock was quickly cut off by his friend.
"No excuses!"
The Vulcan let a small sigh fall from his lips as he glanced back at the un-organized pile of books that would be left there till tomorrow morning.
The day had been going by slowly for James T. Kirk. There had only been a few customers come through and hardly anyone he could flirt with besides his coworker Nyota Uhara.
Jim groaned and pushed himself up onto the counter, "We still have an hour before closing!"
"Get off the counter! Our customers get their drinks off there!" Nyota slapped the blonde haired man upside the head.
"You're no fun. Anyone ever tell you that?" Jim slipped himself off the counter and stood behind the cash register once again.
The slender woman rolled her eyes and walked to the back room ignoring what her coworker had said.
Jim slid a hand through his hair and glanced up as the bell at the door went off signaling customers had come. A grin spread across Jim's face as he saw who it was, "Hey there Bones! Haven't seen you come in for a while!"
"I've been busy. I actually have a real career unlike a certain someone I know." Leonard lead the way up to the counter and smiled.
Jim chuckled and rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah." Jim paused to take a look at the taller man standing behind Leonard. Finally someone he could flirt with. " Whose this cutie you brought with you?" the man gave a wink to the Vulcan standing behind his friend.
The dark haired man turned to look back at the quiet Vulcan whose cheeks had flushed a light shade of green. "Oh this is Spock. He's a friend, he works just down the street at the library."
"Haven't seen you around before." The blonde haired man gave a polite smile.
Spock stayed silent and stared down at his feet.
"He doesn't get out much." Leonard spoke up for him.
"Hm, well anyways what can I get you two?" Jim tilted his head to the side as he asked.
"The normal" answered Leonard as the Vulcan's eyes scanned across the menu above.
It took just a few moments before the Vulcan spoke up, "A small green tea for me."
"Coming right up." Jim grinned at Spock and gave him yet another wink.
It took just a few minutes before Jim had their drinks for them. "Here you guys are." Jim made sure his hand brushed up against the Vulcan's as he handed the taller man his tea. A soft blush crossed the Vulcan's cheeks as he looked away and just nodded to the man as a thanks.
"How much do we owe you?" Leonard spoke up.
Jim smiled and glanced up at his dark haired friend, "Nothing it's on the house tonight."
Surprised by his friends answer Leonard slipped a few one dollar bills into the tip jar. "Alright then. Thanks Jim."
"Anytime," Jim gave a polite smile, then glanced back over at the Vulcan, "Come back soon."
Leonard rolled his eyes and shot Jim a small glare that seemed to say 'stop flirting'.
A chuckle passed through the blonde haired mans lips he watched as the two dark haired men walked towards the door, "Have a nice night!" he shouted before they walked out.
"Were those customers?" Nyota stuck her head out from the back room.
"Yeah." Jim grinned and nodded, "It was just Bones and a Vulcan friend."
"A Vulcan?" Nyota's eyebrows raised in surprise. Vulcans were hardly seen on Earth, it was very rare to see one just walk into your shop.
Jim nodded in response, "Perhaps today wasn't such a waist of a day like I thought."
Nyota gave another classic roll of her eyes. "Get back to work, there are still forty-five minutes till closing time."
"Yes m'am." Jim gave a smirk and turned back around to his cash register, waiting for more customers that probably wouldn't come.
