PROMPT: 92: All That I Have
WARNINGS: Chekov's accent, Scotty's accent, slash, some swearing, mean aliens and lots and lots of fluff. Oh, and Cupcake gets a few aneurisms towards the end, but its all in good fun. I think.
AU: I don't know any actual planets from Star Trek, so I'm totally making this one up. Sorry.
Note: Yes, the title is from A Very Potter Musical. Darren Criss is a god in my eyes, thanks. Also, there may be some references from that same musical. Notice them.
It couldn't possibly get any worse than it was.
On an off-chance that he and Pavel would be sent anywhere, they had to go to the warring planet that just didn't trust any newcomers? And then thrown in jail for no reason? They weren't even put in the same cell!
"The Cap'n better get us out of 'ere soon," Scotty mumbled, dropping to the cold, stone floor in agony of being in this miserable situation.
From one side, his companion hummed lightly to himself. Scotty shot a look to him, "How can you be so perky, Mr. Chekov?" he snapped.
"What vrong vith you, sir?" Chekov asked.
"I'm in a rage!" Scotty hissed.
Pavel backed up a little, but then thought better of it and sat on his knees, crawling over to the barred wall between them. "I know zis is a bad situassion, Meester Scott… but I hawe faith zat ze Keptin and Commander Spock vill get us out of here…"
"But putting us down here in the first place, lad?" Scotty asked, turning to his younger companion.
"Da, zat vas qvite stupid… but zey meant no harm in doing it…" Chekov said, "Maybe zey sought zat zey vere more peaceful now?" he added, looking around the cell. "Ze rainbow zat velcomed our ship might hawe meant somesing different, now zat I sink of it…"
Scotty rolled his eyes and turned away from the other human to sulk and stare at the stone wall on the other side of him. His companion wasn't really seeing the gravity of the situation at all, and Scotty really just wanted to complain. But to pull the younger male along with him? Probably not the best idea if he wanted keep the one friend he had pulled along with him on this mission…
Chekov saw the look on Scotty's face as he pulled into himself and sighed, shaking his head. "You don't have to be alone, Scotty," he whispered, his face going in between the bars so Scotty would (maybe) hear him.
Scotty looked back at him, "You just don't understand, Pavel—"
"But I do!" Chekov insisted, glaring at the older male, "You're here vith me, Scotty."
Scotty's eyes widened. The boy was so insistent in his wording that Scotty didn't answer.
"Nossing's going to bring us down because of zat," Chekov continued. Then he blushed, his voice lowering, "'Cause nosing can keep me from lowing you…"
Scotty's eyes widened as wide as they could go, "Pavel… you…?"
"It's true," Pavel replied, looking off to the side. "All I had to do vas look in your eyes… and I… I realized zat I lowed you… for… for a vhile now…"
Scotty was at full flush as he turned around, still sitting, and faced the younger male. "Pavel… why didnae ya tell me? I would have never even allowed ya ta come here. Nor would I have just yelled at ya…"
Pavel clicked his tongue, "I vas scared of vhat you might hawe said. But it's no matter now. You hawe to know zat you're not alone, and that I lowe you, and that ze keptin and Mr. Spock vill hawe us back on ze ship soon."
And with that, Scotty didn't feel so alone, and he felt a bit happier for being stuck in a cell. But Chekov was right in the end: Kirk came to the rescue, they were returned to the Enterprise in one piece… and there might have been a few times where Scotty and Chekov gave Cupcake an aneurism when he found them making out in odd corners of the hull.
RIP Cupcake.
