20. Drink

Sometimes after particularly stressful events, some of the crew would gather together for a night of drinking and socializing. Being professionals in their work, most were usually responsible with how much alcohol they consumed although there were the few that sometimes had too much. But it was usually fun and a good way to unwind. But this time around Scotty suggested that they as a small group should get together and relax.

This is how Jim, Spock, Harry, Uhura, McCoy, Chekov, Sulu and Scotty found themselves in a rec room sitting around a table chatting, drinks in hand. Topics were light and kept them entertained. Of course nothing was as entertaining as watching Scotty and Chekov debate on their eternal rivalry of scotch and vodka. Luckily Sulu and Uhura were able to keep their significant others from causing too much harm to the other.

McCoy smirked, "You're both crazy. Whiskey is the nectar of the gods and there ain't no arguing about it."

Both Scotsman and Russian immediately teamed up to counter McCoy turning the debate into a three way battle. Jim laughed, second beer in hand, while Spock merely sipped his water listening with half an ear. Harry just grinned, his own beer resting in hand and barely touched. Sulu noticed, nudging the English wizard, "You've barely sipped your beer. What's up?"

"Nothing, I'm just too amused by them to really bother. Plus I fear I might snort it out of my nose if they keep going," Harry chuckled, Uhura's giggling joining him.

"That would be a sight to see! Just like back in grade school," Jim snickered before gulping down another mouth full. Spock raised an eyebrow, "I still do not understand why humans feel the need to consume large quantities of alcoholic beverages that impairs their reasoning and judgment."

"Dammit Spock! Don't start on that again!" McCoy barked looking up from his heated argument with Chekov and Scotty. Shaking her head, Uhura explained gently, "It's just a way for us to relax Spock. A nice way to unwind and release the stress from our day."

"Yeah since sex is out of the question… well, at least for some of us," Jim grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.

Uhura threw a pretzel at him, "Pig!"

Harry burst into laughter hanging onto Sulu as the helmsman tried to control his snickering, but not truly succeeding. Before long the rest of them followed with the exception of Spock as he never laughed. But he cracked a rare smile, infected by the good mood. And why shouldn't they be? This was the first time since the Gorn incident that Harry laughed and smiled like he meant it. It was relieving to see that their plan worked and that the young doctor seemed to be slowly getting better; overcoming whatever haunted him from that incident.

"You lot are completely and utterly insane," Harry chuckled able to catch his breath.

Scotty smiled, "Aye lad and you wouldn't have us any other way." They were treated to a warm smile that lit up bottle green eyes, their depths holding affection and fondness. Softly he murmured, "No, I wouldn't."

Just a quick clarification, Julia Richards whom was mentioned in the previous chapter is from Harry's current life. She has nothing to do with the past or wizarding world. She's his psychologist in the ST time line and someone he met through his professor while he was in college to become a doctor. Someone was a bit confused by that so I thought I would explain. I suppose it made sense in my head since I'm writing it and while I'm good at giving as much information I can so that readers may understand, sometimes I slip. So I apologize.

Anyway, please review! Thanks!
