"Take out your PADDs. Today you will be tested on the knowledge that you've acquired this month." Spock paces through his lecture hall with his hands behind his back.
I've been here for two months now. The few times Spock has been in the cafeteria, I sat with him. We've gotten the chance to play chess together four times within this time period. Getting to know him more will not be easy. Yet, I have an idea of how to do this and it relates to how well I do on this exam.
"Are we seriously have a pop-exam right now?" Gaila whispers to me.
"Cadet Gaila, this is not an appropriate time to be conversing. You are about to start your exam."
"Sorry Professor." Gaila eyes me before she returns to looking forward.
"The test will start in approximately 10 seconds." He waits for a bit. "3…2….1 You may begin."
I'm walking through the hallway dragging my feet and sweating profusely. I finished all my classes today including my combat class that I just came from. I fought so much with my instructor that I feel as though I'm about to vomit. I reach for the door to the clinic and throw my self over to the side of the door so the doctor can see me.
"Oh bejeezes. Look at you!" The doctor runs over to me and lifts my arm around his head. I read his name tag.
'Doctor Leonard Mccoy'
"What on God's name did you do to yourself?" He says as he lifts me onto a bed.
"Only combat, Doctor Mccoy."
"Please, call me Bones." He says to me. "Now you stay right here and I'll be back with some pills for nausea." He says as he leaves.
I look over to my side and I see Chekov twirling around in one of the doctor's chairs. As Bones walks away I can see Chekov's eyes linger on his butt. He now notices that I see him. I think he was actually trying to hide from me.
'Points for Nyota: 1. Points for Chekov: 0'
"Hello Uhura!" He says to me while he scratches his head.
"Chekov, what are you doing here?" I ask him, while I'm laying on my side.
"Well, you see. I took on a part-time internship here at the clinic." He avoids my eyes.
"An internship? Chekov, you don't have any interest in being a doctor!" I tell him. He says nothing, but looks down at his lap. I stare at him.
"Its him isn't it?" I ask. Chekov's about to open his mouth, when instead the door opens. Professor Spock walks through. First he only notices and greets Chekov. He then turns to see me.
"Cadet Uhura." He stops in front of my bed and stares at me. "You are ill." His eyebrows burrow. This is what I would consider a "No shit Spock" moment. At this point in time, Bones comes back with the medicine.
"Would you look this! We've got a whole party now! Look at this pointy eared mongrel here!" He points to Spock. He turns to me. "Take this sweetie." He says as he hands me the pills. "Chekov! Get me some water!" Chekov gets off his stool quickly to fetch what Bones needs.
"Doctor, I assure you that it is not necessary to call me such offensive things relating to my heritage."
"You know I'm just messing with ya Spock." He punches Spock's shoulder playfully and the professor visibly stiffens. "You're here for your check-up, I presume."
"Yes Doctor." Spock looks more comfortable now that Bones's hand is off of him.
"Sit on the recliner next to Uhura and I'll be back with ya." Bones says and walks away. Spock goes to sit on the recliner bed that's next to mine.
"Here's your water Uhura!" Chekov says to me as he hands me the water. "We'll talk later." He says to me and goes to follow Bones.
"Hello Professor." I say to Spock.
"Cadet." he says without looking at me.
"Did you grade our exams, yet?"
"I did."
"Can you tell me how I did?"
"No."
"Why not?" I ask him.
"It would be unfair to do so."
"Ah, that makes sense."
"So you're here for your check up?" I ask him.
"Yes."
"Do you think you are healthy?"
"So far I've had no physical ailments so I would assume so."
"What are you planning on doing after your checkup?" I have to keep the conversation going.
"I am meeting with the Commander in Chief," He says.
"Oh really? Why?" I ask him.
"That is information that I will not share with you."
"Hmm. Is it against regulations?" I ask. He turns to look at me.
"No."
"Then you can tell me!" I've gotten really good at this. He looks as though he's debating with himself on whether or not he should tell me. He finally looks up and back over to me.
"A student is attempting to become my assistant." He says.
"Do you know who it is?" I question him. I can see disappointment in his eyes. Was he hoping it was me?
"Not of yet."
"Oh, well who was your last assistant?"
"I've never had a student assistant during my career as a Professor."
"How can that be?" I ask.
"Students that I've taught in the past consider my work to be immensely difficult. Moreover, in a more social aspect, students who converse with me tend to become very emotional.
"But you're so likeable!"
"Likeable?" He does the thing I love most. He tilts his head to the side, making him look like an adorable puppy.
"Oh! Come on! People never told you that you're likeable? I mean you're so intelligent. You're mysterious. Your lack of understanding for human slang is adorably hilarious. You're fun and let's not forget, extremely hot." I put my hand over my mouth and I feel myself blushing. I didn't mean to let that last part slip.
"I assure you, my body temperature is completely-" Spock is interrupted by Bones. Who based on his expression seems to have heard the last part of our conversation. He's smirking and has a raised eyebrow. Chekov is standing behind him.
"Well, well, well, look at you two love birds hitting it off! I should you have in here together more often." Spock's head turns towards him. His lips are pursed together.
"Doctor, I do not understand your accusations." Bones walks over to Spock and puts his hands on the Vulcan's shoulder. Spock stiffens once again.
"Man you seriously need to get laid." Bones tells him. I can't help but let out a stifle of laughter. This doctor has officially been added to my list of favorite people. Spock shoots his head towards me and I instantly change my expression. He didn't really send me a glare. He sort of sent me a 'I don't understand what you people are talking about and I feel like a victim' face,which I must admit is very adorable. Bones turns to Chekov, who's face instantly reddens when Bones looks at him.
"Chekov, your shift is over for today. Thanks for your help bud." He pats Chekov on the head, which causes the younger boy to look like a ripe tomato. "You can return to your dorm too Uhura. That's only if you feel up to it." He turns to me.
"Thank you so much Doctor!" I say as I get out of bed. I can see Bones sit by Spock's bed.
"Looks like you're stuck with me buddy!" He says to him. Spock looks miserable.
"Bye Bones! By Professor" The doctor waves at me and the professor gives me a simple nod. Chekov and I turn to leave together. We exit the clinic and walk through the halls of Starfleet.
"So, how about that Doctor huh?" I say to Chekov. I can see his cheeks turn pink. Chekov turns to me and unleashes a shit-load of information.
"I know what you're gonna say! You think that he's straight but he's not!"
"That wasn't what I was going to say…. But are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm sure. He's not gay either, but bisexual. I have proof." His face gets redder. I come to a halt.
"Proof?" I ask him.
"Yes, proof." He tells me in response. He has a habit of looking down at the floor when talking about things that embarrass him. I also notice that his foot is shuffling the ground.
"Spill." I demand. He sighs.
"I know, because I saw" he stops and looks into my eyes to ensure that he can trust me. "I saw him with someone."
"Oh. Okay." I smile.
"You don't want to know more?"
"All I know is that you like him and that's all that matters." I wrap my arm around his shoulder. "I support you."
"And I support you and Meester Spock." Chekov smirks at me. I blush. Suddenly my eyes widen.
"Oh! That reminds me! I gotta go! You go hang with Gaila in our dorm and I'll be back in a half hour!" I give him a kiss on the cheek and run away, leaving him with an expression of bafflement. I'm glad that he and Gaila get along now, but I can't trust that she wont make him uncomfortable while I'm not there.
'Oh well...'
I'm walking down the hallway to my destination, when I overhear Professor Spock talking with the Captain-in-Chief.
'So must he must have finished his check up in enough time." I think to myself.
"I think its even more essential for you to have an assistant, now that I've given you the title of Commander." I hear the Chief tell Spock.
'Spock's a commander now? Why does that make him even sexier?'
"When will I meet him?" Spock responds to the Chief.
"She should be here, right about now." He says as I turn into the doorway. "Commander Spock, Nyota Uhura." The chief gestures towards me. Spock's overall expression doesn't change, but eyes do show a sense of surprise. Confidently, I stride over to the commander and hold out my hand.
"I believe we already met." I tell him as I look into his eyes.
"You are less ill, than when we last met Cadet." His lips are slightly turned upwards. I can see a glisten in his eyes as he looks down towards me. We stay looking at each other until the Chief interrupts us.
"Ahem."We turn to look at him at the same time. "Cadet Uhura, as you well may know. You are qualified to be Spock's assistant, because of your credentials. You are the student with the highest average in his class and the first student to gain a one-hundred percent on his exam."
'A hundred percent?!" I try not to act extremely giddy out of happiness.
"You also know seventy percent of the languages that exist here on Starfleet. I'm sure Spock can help you learn the last thirty percent. Moreover, you may be used to calling him Professor. His new title is Commander." The chief pauses and hands me a paper. "Those are the guidelines of being a teacher's assistant."
"So its official?" I ask.
"It's official." He says.
"Thank you very much!" I exclaim much more loudly then I expected.
"You are very welcome. You two will report back to me in another two months about your progress." Spock nods to the Chief and we both turn to leave. I stop and turn to Spock outside of the Chief's office and smirk.
"Look's like you're stuck with me Commander."
