A/N: Holy shit, sorry this took so long to update guys and thank you for not only being patient but sticking with me as well. Between work, personal bullshit, and having to buy a new computer (laptops are so expensive Q~Q ) I've been all over the place. But, I really tried to push myself to get this chapter posted before July and unfortunately, this chapter didn't go well at all. I actually ended up deleting most of it because it was just that bad; I'd just rather give you guys a chapter that's actually good even if I have to take a bit more time. This chapter is short because of that, it has scenes I actually liked and didn't delete, and I think it turned out to be a nice fluffy chapter. I plan to write one-shots from this fandom and others to help get my creative juices flowing, as I do believe that's my problem, and will post them as they are written.

July also happens to be my birth month! I'll hopefully be able to get at least three chapters done for this month, I will defiantly be doing a birthday special. I will not be posting the week of the 6th as I will be out on vacation but, I promise to come back with at least one chapter done to post right away for you guys.

As always, constrictive criticism and comments are welcome~ Make sure to leave a comment about anything you'd like to see in future chapters

I am currently taking fanfic requests, details on my profile.


"Izzy," Scotty loudly said while shaking her shoulder, "You've got to get up or you're going to be late."

"Five more minutes," Izanna said with a yawn.

"You don't bloody have five minutes."

Izanna's eyes flew open, "Shit." Hurtling out of bed she ran around the room, stripping of her pajamas and throwing on her uniform.

"Late night?" Scotty asked, closing his eyes.

"Yeah, I was up with Nyota," she replied, "I'm decent."

"Relationship problems?" Scotty inquired, leading the way out of her cabin and to the Engineering deck.

"You've noticed."

"Everyone's fucking noticed. It's hard not to with them giving each other the cold shoulder."

"I think this is the worst fight they've ever been in."

"Do you think they'll..." Scotty asked, trailing off.

"Honestly, I have no idea," Izanna sighed, "Awkward timing too, I feel bad whenever I mention my relationship."

"Can't blame you for wanting to talk about it."

"No, but I still feel bad."

They let the subject drop as they entered the Engineering deck and got straight to work.

"Alright everybody, let's get this damn show on the road," Scotty called out.

Izanna took up a station by her science officers, looking over their shoulders to make sure everything was good to go before focusing on her station and waiting for the signal to start the experiment; a message from the computer relayed, telling them estimated time was fourteen hours. She groaned, half-dead on her feet as it is, she knew this shift was going to feel way longer than it actually was.

OoOoO

Bones walked into Jim's quarters, he let out a light sigh as he sat down, his friends around the table giving questioning looks.

"I thought you were suppose to spend time with Izzy tonight," Jim said.

"I was, but she's out cold and she hasn't been sleeping this week so I just left her to sleep," he replied.

"She hasn't been eating either and when I tried to get her to eat she bloody well snapped at me," Scotty said.

"She did eat thought right?" Bones asked.

"Begrudgingly and not much."

"This woman is going to be the death of me," Bones sighed, murmurers of agreement were let out around the table. "Thanks guys."

Nearly two hours later Bones was being hailed by Izanna, answering it Izanna's voice was just barley heard.

"Where are you?" she asked.

Bones nearly winced at how utterly exhausted she sounded, "I'm in Jim's quarters. I saw you sleeping and after you didn't respond I left."

"Oh," she said softly, "I'm awake now."

"You should go back to sleep," Bones stated.

"Yeah. Fine. Whatever," Izanna snapped at him and hung up before he got the chance to reply.

"I'm going to go see her," Bones said, quickly leaving the room.

OoOoO

Bones didn't bother ringing, knowing she wouldn't let him in. He found her sitting with her back against her headboard writing up reports. Toeing off his shoes he walked over and took her work away, placing it on her desk.

"Give it back Len," Izanna said.

"No, you're overworking yourself and you need to sleep."

"I'm fine, now give it back."

"Bullshit."

Tossing a glare his way she got off the bed and went to move around him, only to be picked up and be set back down on the bed.

"Len, I have work to do."

"As both your boyfriend and doctor, I'm saying you need to sleep."

"Which I will do when I'm done," she growled, trying to sit up.

"No, you'll do it now," Bones growled right back, shoving her down. "You've been doing three different jobs and that experiment all week, you overbooked yourself and you damn well know it."

"I did not, I'm doing just fine."

"Bullshit."

"Let me up."

"No."

"Fine," she snapped, "Get out so I can sleep then."

"No," he repeated, taking off his shirt and pants before putting them on a nearby chair.

"W-what are you doing?" she asked with wide eyes as a blush spread across her face.

"Making sure you actually sleep," he said climbing under the covers, "Now go change out of your uniform."

"Oh," was all she said, unsure whether to be relived or not.

She could feel his gaze burning into her back as she changed, her face turning an alarming shade of red when she remember the shirt she'd been wearing for pajamas was one she had snatch from his room when he wasn't looking. To exhausted to rummage through her drawers to find a different shirt she just put on his, which was followed by a loud sigh as she didn't have pajama pants or shorts. Muttering, fuck it, to herself and removing her bra she joined him on the bed. Bones raised an eyebrow at her but made no comment and called for the lights to be shut off.

"Come here," Bones said.

It was said so softly Izanna almost missed it and scooted closer to him. She let out a squeak at suddenly being pulled down into his chest, flushing red as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head and whispering a goodnight; huffing out a goodnight back at him she squirmed around until she was comfortable, falling asleep shortly there after with Bones lightly running his fingers through her hair.
