WARNINGS: Chekov's accent, Scotty's accent, slash, uke!Scotty, a little master/slave thing, and swearing. Minor fluff, but in the mirror!verse, that really doesn't exist, now, does it. Oh, and hinted sexy times.
AU: mirror!verse, but not quite as some remember it, because, come on, this is La Princesse Morte's writing we're talking about. Oh, and Spock/Uhura never happened.
This was really odd. Scratch that. It was so odd that poor Scotty couldn't understand a thing that was happening. Perhaps this was another dimension, as his captain was wearing a gold sash with his sleeves having been cut off. (Then again, most of the women were wearing miniskirts and bare midrifts. It was frightening to the recently out-of-the-closet Scotsman.)
The people who had come with him through the… whatever were looking at their new attire with fear and just a little bit of awkward staring at Uhura, who was trying her hardest to cover her stomach. McCoy looked fairly normal, and Scotty did as well. It was just Uhura's midrift and the Captain's… fabulous… attire that the others had to deal with.
But apparently, to the mirror!Enterprise's crew, everything was fine. (Though, mirror!Cupcake was looking less like a mean bully on a playground and more like a drag queen. Well… it was the mirror!universe, as McCoy had pointed out, especially when First Officer Spock came to (mercilessly flirt with?) fetch the Captain out of the transporter room with a full mustache and goatee.)
With Kirk and Uhura being whisked out of the room, a young man from the Medical Bay whisked McCoy out of the room next, and Scotty was left to figure what just happened. This best thing he could do was avoid this reverse personality crew members that Scotty thought he had known from his universe, but that would be hard, as the major research station was up on the Bridge.
So Scotty braved the opposite personalities of the mirror!Enterprise, keeping his head down, which was, apparently, normal for him in this world. When he got to the bridge, however, he noticed that Kirk had not been whisked away up there. Uhura gave the engineer a 'help me' look as she sat down at her spot and was instantly hit on by several other officers, both male and female. Scotty shrugged and ducked into a spot on the outside rim. From the corner of his eye, he saw the beautiful shape of one Pavel Chekov.
Back in his own dimension, Pavel was the quirky yet sweet Russian navigator. Scotty hated what mirror!Pavel would be like. Scotty couldn't help but take a look. Pavel here in the mirror!universe looked like he did back in Scotty's dimension. He had the same mop of dark-blond curls and the green-brown eyes. He wore a normal yellow shirt and the pants everyone was issued onboard the Enterprise. But there was an evil glint in his eye as he stared right at Scotty.
What the hell was going on aboard this ship? Were people actually open about their crushes or something? First Spock and the Captain, then all these other officers and Uhura, and… oh gosh. Did this mean that mirror!Chekov and mirror!Scotty…
Why wasn't this his dimension instead? And why did Scotty come here again? Oh right… right. Scotty turned back to the computer and logged in, hoping mirror!Scotty had the same passcode. Thank goodness he did. Looking over the weather patterns, he saw that the ion storms had some weird composition of gas and dust that must have made the transporter go wonky.
He only needed the exact same storm to happen and they could get back. Only problem? That storm had stopped.
"Vhat are you doing, Scotty?" a delectable, Russian-accented voice said in the Scotsman's ear.
Scotty jumped to see that Chekov had gotten up from whatever he had been doing and was basically mere centimeters from Scotty, making his heart explode in rhythm.
"Uhm…" how was mirror!Scotty supposed to act? "That was… a pretty weird storm, don't ya think?"
"Oh, aye," the other replied, having the audacity to sit on Scotty's lap. Just what was going on this side of the ion storm? He proceeded to put his knee right up against the other male's groin, pushing a little bit and making Scotty's head get a little hazy. "Pretty veird, by ze vay you just vent passed me vissout asserting your claim to me."
What? Scotty managed to think through the arousal haze. Chekov grinned, slowly piecing things together. "Usually I hawe to try harder zan zat, Master Scott…"
Right in front of the others? Oh, wow… Scotty thought.
"Zat vas qvite a storm, if ze flame has been put out between you and me, sir," Chekov crooned, kissing the other man's collarbone and biting a little, which made Scotty whine just a tad. Apparently, Scotty was supposed to be… stronger when around the younger male. That wasn't happening right this second.
Chekov glanced up at Scotty and put a firm hand on his shoulder, "You must be ze ozer Scotty…" he said, his hazel eyes twinkling. "Meester Spock told me somesing vas off about you four vhen you came back from zat planet." He got off the older male, and, noticing the tent, pulled the other male up from his spot. "Before ve get you back, zough, zere is zat little problem zere ve should take care of," he added, winking and pulling Scotty out to find an empty room.
When Scotty, Uhura, McCoy and Kirk were returned (all with crazy stories of the mirror!universe and its inhabitants), Scotty couldn't keep a straight face around his own dimension's Chekov. After the brief stint in an empty room, he wasn't sure what was going on in either dimension.
But, deciding to take things slow, he finally had the guts to ask Chekov to have a cup of coffee with him (although, you couldn't really call replicator coffee coffee), and they talked about what they were both so interested in: transwarp theory. Scotty got over the mirror!universe trip when he saw the laughter and innocence again in his own dimension's Chekov. Though he had liked what had transpired between himself and mirror!Chekov, he really just wanted to get to know his own Pavel before they tried anything quite like that.
