Let It Out- Spock

You smiled wide as you raised your glass in celebration of your captain's birthday. Friends and crewmen alike stood shoulder to shoulder as the festivities began which consisted of drinking, standing around, and talking.

You watched with reserved indignation as Spock and Nyota spoke. You don't mean to be the protective type but you would just hate to see all the progress you made with the Vulcan relationship wise get blown away with her perfect eyelashes. You noticed Bones look at them for a moment but then pretended to act like nothing happened once Spock looked at him. The doctor then made eye contact with you, giving you a knowing look before making quick work of the distance between you, as if he was eager to talk about something.

To your astonishment, when you signed up as a nurse to the man, you didn't take him for the gossiping type. Oh how you were wrong. It was invented by him. So when he happened upon you and Spock in a deep conversation, on accident, he pulled you aside later wanting to know everything. After who knows how many times you begged, Bones promised not to say a word. Thus seeing him with an eager expression made complete sense, though you still roll your eyes.

"Before you say a thing: no, I have not spoken to him since he attempted to save me. And yes, I am a bit bitter about the whole "Vulcan tracking device" thing." You took a sip of your tart drink, looking sideways at Bones. "Though not as bitter as I thought I would be. I'm just-"

"Worried he'll go back to her. I read that from a mile away." He snorted as he took another drink, his cheeky grin making you a bit unsettled.

"Since you know so much, why don't you tell me what you are obviously hiding from me?"

Bones downed the rest of his class, setting it on a table behind him, leaning against it with his arm. "That's for me to know and you to find out, sister."

You rolled your eyes again. Bones has been practically a Brother to you since you joined. But when it comes to moments like this, you just wished he was your brother and not your senior officer, that way you could get your answer in a more sibling like manner.

"Fine, keep your secrets. I just don't want to-" You stopped when you unwillingly watched Uhura kiss Spock on the cheek.

Your own cheeks burned and you clenched your fist, positive you drew blood. Had Bones not rested his hand on your shoulder, you would have made a fool of yourself.

"Cool the jets, spit fire, she's just thanking him." His soft tone did nothing for your raging heart.

"Yeah. I'll keep telling myself that."

Bones folded his arms. "Ok. Out with it. Why are you acting like someone pissed in your drink?"

You snorted, putting down said drink on the table, turning away from Spock and Uhura. "Spock has been keeping secrets from me. And I have a feeling you know what they are. Just before we went on this last mission he refused to talk about Ambassador Spock or the whole thing with Uhura. I thought we were close enough for that much at least." You pinched the bridge of your nose. "Not that I was hoping I was the reason they broke up, just that I wanted to make sure that his sudden turn of attention towards me was not just to get over her." You let out a sigh. "We are friends. We established that. But I guess I had read him wrong."

Bones looked behind you as if making sure no one was paying attention. "Alright, I'll admit. I know a thing or two going on in his illogical head of his. Just don't beat yourself up over from something you may have misread from an emotionless Vulcan. The poor guy has so much going on right now I'm surprised he hasn't punched Jim yet." He laughed to himself as you turned around to find Spock talking with Scotty, Uhura nowhere to be seen. "He scared me with the whole "follow in my old self's footsteps" thing."
