Summary: stuck in a cave, Spock accidentally touches a statue despite readers warnings and quickly learns it's an Orion mating statue, sex ensues
🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛
“No!” (Name) Hissed out as he looked at the destroyed entrance of the cave that he was studying before Starfleet and did what they always did, ruined things.
The Orion stared at the crumbled stones and rubble before turning to look at Spock with a glare “can't you just listen?! You Starfleet always act like you know better than anyone else!” He hissed out and Spock just stared back at him “I told you don't shoot all recklessly, we weren't even on the offence and your people just started attacking!”
“Ones to assume when we see Orion pirates that it is for a fight” Spock said simply and (name) glared at him, if looks could kill this Vulcan would be long dead but (name) just sighed “well, between your team and my team we shouldn't be here more than a few hours... So get comfy”
The two sat at separate sides of the cave which wasn't speaking much while (name) looked at a statue “do you ever know what this is, Vulcan?” He asked the other who stared back “we were curious about the historical meaning behind this artifact” Spock said simply and (name) huffed “so star fleet can take credit for Orion scientists work? Typical”
“There are no Orion scientists” Spock said simply, a tiny shred of snark in his tone before standing and investigating the statue, deeming it safe before touching “DONT TOUCH THAT!” (Name) Yelled panicked as the Vulcan touched a flower peice only to have it “bloom” in a way and spray a pollen like substance in the air “cover your mouth!” (Name) Pulled him away but the two got a bit in their systems.
“Shit... This... This is an Orion sex statue... Lovers would use it to rekindle their love” (name) managed while a red blush covered the Orion's face “fuck....” (Name) Mumbled and the sensation of warmth flooding his being and his cock strained against his pants and looked at the Vulcan who was hardly any better, barely keeping himself together but the green blush gave it away “how do we.. how do we reverse the affects”
“You're going to hate it...” (Name) Mumbled and looked away uncomfortable and Spock tilted his head before coming to the realization.
“I am not a fan of hijinks”
“I'm not joking, treat this like a Vulcan Pon farr... Ahn! Shit... If we don't do this it will only get worse!” (Name) Moaned at the seam of his pants pressing against his cock, subconsciously humping the floor and Spock wouldn't deny... The sight was one to behold.
An Orion was known to be attractive, the male being no exception with his sweat glistened skin and bedroom eyes.
“Fine...”
Spock leaned against the wall of the cave and let out low gasps and soft pants while (name) sucked his cock, the pale cock having a pretty green hue at the end and was heavy on his tongue. (Name) Slowly stroked his own cock, the Vulcans right leg over (name)s shoulder “pull off... I-im climaxing...” (Name) Did not listen, in fact he decided that was a challenge and pushed the cock deeper down his throat, this nose pressing against the Vulcans black pubes. He rubbed his thigh before practically fucking his throat with the others cock and removed his hand to grope the others ass cheek “m-move your mouth!” Spock tried to push him only to push the Omega back, ending with him on his back and Spock practically sitting on his face and cock still in mouth.
He couldn't move away fast enough when the cum shot put and filled (name)s mouth and covered his face “I told you to remove yourself...!” Spock hissed and (name) grinned “and I thought I made it clear I don't care...” He said with a playful snark to his tone and manhandled the Vulcan so be was sitting in his lap, (name)s fat cock rubbing between the others cheeks before Spock looked down at him “such intimate touching... I can feel all your emotions... You're so loud” he mumbled while (name) kissed up his neck and Adams apple before sucking and nibbling “what else do you sense, pretty?” (Name) Flirted and Spock didn't know if it was the aphrodisiac or the other just being himself but the term made his hips twitch slightly.
“you... You know” Spock managed to speak out and (name) hummed “I felt it... The pull” (name) was annoyed with the federation uniform shirt and tugged it off the other without a care “the statue... Only affects those who are bound by souls and its purpose is to bring two souls together... Bound them by body and mind”
“Are you upset that your soulmate is an Orion?” (Name) Asked and licked the others nipple, slightly hairy chest not phasing the Orion in the slightest “no, I am not” Spock spoke honestly “are you upset your t'hy'la is a Starfleet officer?” He mumbled and (name) rubbed his cock against the others hole, slightly gaping from the Orion playing with it “i am not, pretty Vulcan” Spock was a bit stunned at the fact this Orion knew his language fluently before (name) pushed his cock into the others ass and slowly sunk him down to the hilt, admiring the slight bulge in his abdomen. Spock was shaking, legs spasming slightly while he leaned forward and pressed himself fully against (name).
“Fuck!” (Name) Was a little surprised at the Vulcan swearing but groped his ass cheeks and soothed him “relax... Deep breaths..?”
“S-spock...”
“(Name)..”
“Noted... Please move” Spock managed and (name) grinned at him “I'll start slow, don't wanna break that delicate Starfleet bod of yours”
“I can assure you, I am anything but delicate”
“I'll keep that in mind..” (name) said before thrusting upwards and into the Vulcan, the pollen heavy and making the black haired man feel so needy and unable to control himself while trying to match his thrusts but (name)s hips were much stronger than his and he could barely sit up.
He eventually just let the Orion man use him like a sex sleeve as he slowly sped up, hitting Spock's prostate and kissing him sloppily “I-im close...” Spock managed and (name) grinned and continued his actions, moving his hips to press exclusively against the others prostate and it didn't take long until Spock came on (name)a chest and (name) pulled out and came on the Vulcans back.
“My mother always told me how everyone had a fated pair, someone who even across the cosmos would share the same soul as one's self... I never really cared for it but I must say, I'm not angry” (name) said simply and helped Spock dress, the man keeping a deadpan expression but god his hips hurt.
“I hold no negative emotions to this situation, though I am not too fond of that statue”
“Well don't go touching things without a mask! You should know better, mr Starfleet” the Orion switched to Vulcan at the end and Spock turned to look at him a little surprised “you speak my language?”
“I do, I speak over 46 languages” (name) said before helping him stand up “being a scientist means having to read a lot of text... You also meet a lot of people in space” (name) said simply and Spock wouldn't deny the fact his soulmate was seemingly equal levels of intelligence as him was incredibly attractive.
“I have some things I have to take care of before I am able to see you again but here” (name) handed the Vulcan an ornate dagger “this is a promise of return, I need one year to finish what I need to do... If I fail to return you may use this dagger to remove my heart”
“Spock! We're almost there!” A voice called and the two looked to the rubble that was moving and (name) kissed him softly before looking at him “one year from this moment... Meet me at starbase six at a restaurant called the astra...”
“Understood.”
And after that, Spock silently waited as both teams freed them and he just had to wait.
A whole year.
He looked at the dagger in his hand, his Orion was a little rusty but he managed to make out the inscription “(name), Tendi....”

Summary: reader leaves everything he knows for Spock, Spock wants reader to not be so sad even if he's not talking about it but it's hard when his crew keep treating his man like a monster
🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛
Spock stared at the dagger in his hands, ornate and frankly too beautiful to be something to kill and all his thoughts wandered to the handsome Orion who touched him like he was a treasure to be kept safe.
It was strange being the one in this position, the one being courted.
He didn't know what to do, now to approach this but he knew someone may have the answers.
Pike stared at the dagger carefully and Una hummed “its beautiful... It must have been important to him” she said softly and Spock kept a face of indifference “did he say what he needed to do?”
“He did not” Spock said simply “he claimed to be an Orion scientist and he was quite knowledgeable in many languages, he was fluent in my mother tongue after all” this caught their attention fully “what will you do after the year?” Pike asked honestly and Spock didn't have an answer but a small human part of him wanted him to be with him.
He wondered where the handsome Orion was, what he was doing at this moment.
(Name) Was quiet on the ship as his crew mates chatted and drank around him, the young man staring out the window with an unreadable expression “why are you so upset?” Astrea asked her brother while taking a seat beside him and (name) sighed “I met my fated mate” he said simply and the woman looked at him wide eyed “who?! Are they on this ship?” She asked seriously with a sparkle in her eye, the idea of her brother finding love filled her with pure happiness.
(Name) Sighed and fidgeted “the Vulcan in the cave” he mumbled and the woman froze “Your fucking with me, right?” She asked him and (name) shook his head before being dragged off by his sister into their shared space “so what do you intend on doing?” She asked Seriously and (name) sighed “I told him I would see him in one year, gives me eno---””enough time to see my baby?” She mumbled and (name) nodded with a small smile “of course...”
(Name) Hated pirating, hated having to hurt people but he had to do what was needed to clear his sister's debt.
He needed to keep his family safe, at all costs.
“A VULCAN?!” His mother practically screamed and (name) sighed “yes, a Vulcan” he said simply and his mother sighed “absolutely not, you are to marry an Orion”
“Nope”
“Excuse me?”
“I said no, I'm not doing that and if you try and force me im leaving” he said coldly to the woman who blinked slowly “I can't believe you, do you know how Vulcans let alone Starfleet act!”
“I do, I don't intend on joining Starfleet, I just want to be with the person the universe made for me”
“If you do this, you are dead to me”
“Astrea... I hope you can forgive me” (name) said simply and his sister nodded, it hurt but she knew (name) was in love.
She just hoped they could see each other again when all goes well.
And that's how the brilliant Orion scientist ended up working solo, a small ship of just him and himself alone and a hand drawn picture of his soulmate something that reminded him to keep going and kept him from losing his mind.
He ended up on a small planet, he was an Orion yes but he didn't dress like one... If anything he looked like an archaeologist and in a way he was.
If an archaeologist broke knee caps and kicked people off cliffs and such.
But he did it for good!
He was trying to change his ways, for Spock.
And for him...
It was nice not being seen as the bad guy all the time.
(Name) Flipped a Romulam and knocked him out before taking an artifact from his hands, breaking his fingers in the process before running down the halls of the ancient ruins and taking out anyone in his way, keeping the artifact intact.
He had to at least take out 20 of these guys before he made it back the the village, a bit bruised and sweaty before phasers were pointed at him by Starfleet “drop it pirate!” A woman yelled and (name) froze at the security officer or Captain-- he wasn't sure what Starfleet called their crew... He was still trying to learn that “whoa! I'm not a pirate!” He said incredulously and the woman huffed “please, I know a pirate anywhere”
“Please, he's not a pirate! He helped us!” the village leader said seriously and the Orion man let out a breath when she put her phaser away “thank you...”
“No, thank you! If you hadn't been here, they would have left with our stone of life!” The barely three foot pig looking man said and (name) nodded “and thank you for fixing up my ship... I know it took quite a beating”
“So you were actually helping” the brunette woman said and behind her was a man in a gold shirt and a woman with a gold jacket “yeah... I'm a scientist and Archeology enthusiast so when they told me the issue I offered a trade” be examined and the leader of the village smiled “trade is important to Orion! It shows respect!”
“it does... Now if you all don't mind, I have to go!”
“Wait!” Their captain said and (name) turned to look at him curiously “yes, Starfleet captain?”
“Where ya headed?”
“Starbase six, I have a date with destiny one may say”
“...want a ride? Least we can do since you did our job for us”
“... Fuck it, you're probably faster”
(Name) Kept his ship under lock and key when docking into the Enterprise, nervous about all the... Uniforms.
He knew how these guys were towards his people.
“Star base six is only an hour away, we're going there ourselves” a young cadet said, named Uhura if he remembered “really?”
“Yeah, a lieutenant is meeting up with his soulmate”
“What's his name?”
“Spock? Why?”
“...could you call him here, please”
“Wait... Are you (name)?!” She asked incredulously and (name) nodded “I am” he said softly and shook the woman's hand, pleased she didn't recoil when he offered it “pleased to meet you”
“What's going on?” A woman in a white uniform asked and (name) looked up to see her and... “Starlight” (name) mumbled and Spock looked at him with that adorable unreadable expression and apparently (name) moved too fast because half of the ship was pointing a gun at him “fucking typical...” He said quietly, anger building in his chest and feeling a little humiliated but spock simply took his hands, frowning slightly at the negative emotions the other was feeling.
“Stand down” he commanded and everyone hesitated but did as asked and looked up at (name) “shall we talk in private?”
“That's (name)?! He did not tell me that his soulmate was a smoke show!” Chapel said while she sat at the bar with Erika, Uhura and La’an “he seems pretty nice, Spock mentioned once that he was fluent in a lot of alien languages” the cadet said casually while eating a few strawberries and the two hummed “he told me that the guy was an Orion scientist... I have never heard of that in my life and I have seen a lot” Erika huffed a laugh and the group nodded.
“Well as long as he makes Spock happy, right?” Chapel's words spoke clearly and the others nodded “I don't trust him though... Orion have never been trustworthy”
(Name) Looked around Spock's quarters, from what he learned about Vulcan during the last year and how they decorated... It was quite cute, seeing his soulmate decorating like an old lady.
“I wasn't expecting to see you, they politely offered me a ride to star base six... I had a while and and everything-- if I'm going to be honest, I felt like I didn't deserve to see you” (name) murmured and Spocks eyebrows furrowed “why do you believe you didn't deserve to see me?”
“I- I'm not the same person as a year ago, I'm not even sure I'm someone who deserves to be even looked at by you... You're this beautiful pacifist who chooses communication and just two hours ago I cracked a Romulans jaw...”
“But did you kill him?”
“N-no?”
“How many lives have you taken?”
“Eighty six...before I was permitted to finally become a scientist I had to be a pirate- I hated it, I tried to stun them but when I did I would be forced to kill them...” (Name) Managed to speak out, it was hard to talk about this stuff in front of people... Back home, it was difficult to talk about feelings without looks, he was a child of the syndicate for God's sake!
“You killed because you were forced to... Because it was expected of you but if given the option you would let them live... You are not the monster you believe you are... You want redemption, yes?”
“More than anything”
“Then prove it, work for it”
“I'm not sure how to, where do I even start?”
“Join me, join Starfleet and work to be the change you want in the world”
“Do... Do you think Starfleet would want someone like me?” He wasn't immune to Orion racism, hell what just happened made him feel like an idiot to even be here.
“Change can only happen when both parties take the first step... However it will go, know that I will be by your side” Spock said simply and (name) looked at him “and you still want me?”
“I do”
Spock surprised (name) when he linked fingers with him, index and middle and the Orion smiled softly “Vulcan kissing... I have been trying to learn more about Vulcans this past year, you guys are really cool...” (name) mumbled and Spock raised an eyebrow “what have you been learning with?”
And that's how they ended up in (name)s small ship, not enough for a full crew but could easily fit five people and (name) brought him to the green man's bedroom where Spock saw scrolls and books along with a pad that had Vulcan literature on it “I didn't want to do anything that could be seen as disrespectful to you, I tried to keep from touching you when I saw you because I know you're sensitive to that... Didn't want to make you uncomfortable” Spock found himself appreciating the sentiment and (name) sat on his bed shyly and Spock took the opportunity to gently trace the tips of his fingers up the others neck and tilting his head upwards “your touch doesn't make me uncomfortable”
(Name) Was blue screening at the pretty man before him and gingerly held Spock's hips and rubbed into his hips with his thumbs “I know our first meeting was... Less than formal but I do want to pursue proper Vulcan and Orion courting with you...”
“I accept your offer, I know little of Orion courting rituals so please explain them to me”
(Name) Beamed and wasted no time pulling out Orion books and explaining things to the Vulcan who gave his full attention to him, enjoying the sound of his voice.
The two sat in there for hours before they were called by Pike to come to his office and (name) seemed nervous, he was always nervous with Starfleet.... He was used to seeing them as enemies so it was like being in the lion's den. (Name) Kept professional for Spock, he had a feeling the man wasn't fond of PDA... From what he gathered most Vulcans didn't enjoy it.
(Name) Stared at the captain and his right hand, back straight and keeping calm and confident “who would have thought that the Orion pirate would be our very own Spock's soulmate”
“Scientist.” (Name) Said back bluntly and the two looked confused “I'm an Orion scientist, I was doing research when we got trapped in that cave” (name)s words were firm and serious while Una looked confused “there aren't Orion scientists though?”
“Who do you think builds the ships?”
That made them pause and think for a second and (name) just stared “I see... Well, into the elephant in the room”
What the fuck what an elephant? (Name) Looked around and tried to figure out what could be an elephant and Spock looked to him “it's a metaphor for an unspoken yet important topic that one or many wish to discuss”
“Ah”
“As we were saying, you two are bound by the universe... How do you wish to proceed? If you guys do decide to go with this, you are entitled to a larger living quarters” Pike explained and (name) glanced at his boyfriend? Yeah, that sounded nice who spoke up “we are pursuing this relationship, he will be my life partner and be by my side till one of us or both of us dies” Una watched as (Name) melted a little at his words, clearly the two were in love despite only meeting once but that's how soul bonds work... Once you meet your soulmate, there was no going back.
No one could change or replace your soulmate and you would long for them and in some cases get sick.
“I also believe (name) would be immensely valuable to the crew with his linguistics skills, he can speak over forty languages and is knowledgeable in ships as well as combat”
“Have you considered joining Starfleet?”
“I have but... I don't want to be separated from Spock but... I want to do good”
“Well... Perhaps you can work on officially with Starfleet, your skills being praised by spock speaks volumes”
“I have a condition...”
“Oh?”
“Please get your crew to not draw weapons at me, that was deeply humiliating”
“They WHAT”
(Name) Was pleased to be brought to their new quarters, allowed to keep his ship on board and brought his belongings to their shared quarters and strangely enough... It felt natural.
Like it was always like this.
The space was meant to accomodate a small family, (name) looking around while Spock watched quietly, almost admiring him.
Spock learned that despite being... (Name), he was strangely domestic, liking quiet and calm much to the Vulcans appreciation and he even made more attempts to be home on time while (name) studied Starfleet topics, dinner before them, a fusion of Vulcan and Orion.
And that's when he remembered what Chapel called him, the few who didn't discriminate against (name) and actually made efforts to befriend him, she told him it was a human term of endearment but it would be more romantic in Vulcan...
“Thank you sa-adun'a” Spock said simply and sat down to eat while (name) choked on his food and Spock tilted his head “is something ailing you?”
“Spock, my stars and moon... Do you understand what you called me?”
“i called you my male wife, I was told it was a human phrase of endearment”
“Its-- it's something like that, it has a more... Its-- “ he fumbled to speak “it's a phrase for a devoted husband who acts more like the ideal wife than a husband”
“But are you not?”
And (name) halted, thinking... He made dinners and assisted the other with issues and translations... He cleaned and fuck he was a male wife.
“Damn it...”
(Name) Ultimately refused to join Starfleet when he learned that he would have to be seperated from Starfleet and that's when Spock brought up an opportunity.
“Teacher?”
“Kindergarten, you want to help? Help children become functional members of society”
He had the skills and the ability to do so, now focusing on getting a degree in teaching to be able to accomplish this task but... The blow up was astounding.
He was fully aware that many... Many people on board didn't like him well specifically where he came from.
“The first step for change is effort from both sides... I'll take the first step” he mumbled while he studied late into the night, mumbling to himself before his husband stepped out from the bedroom, hair disheveled “Ashayam, I require your presence in bed or I will as Lieutenant La’an says often “drag you” if needed” Spock's words were a threat and a promise and (name) sighed and stood before walking to his boyfriend, touching his waist before being brought to bed, Spock surprisingly been attentive to (name)s needs while (name) cuddled him, kissing his shoulder.
Spock loved feeling his emotions, he never spoke of it but the Orion knew he did (the two had a lengthy conversation and (name) was happy to let the other in his head but warned that what he would see mat make him look at him different) and Spock often soothed the stress and helped his beloved relax as they fell asleep.
Though there was a thought (name) regularly had.
One that Spock couldn't fix... (Name) Constantly replayed the fight in his head, every day.
Spock knew he didn't regret it, he saw the flashes of memories and felt the anger and pain while he slept and gripped his beloved tighter, letting himself be held with so much care and for a moment Spock let himself be more human, even if he struggled.
(Name) Sat in the lounge with Uhura while he taught her Orion, the young woman facianted by the alphabet “youre missing a few letters, so those sounds not exist in the Orion language?”
“Nope, they don't- I actually had to teach myself to make those sounds, it wasn't easy”
“Hey, you're Spock's pirate boyfriend, right?” a voice spoke and (name) looked up to see a few cadets and stared “not a pirate but yes I'm Spock's boyfriend” he said looking at them and resting his chin on his fingers that were crossed together “is there something I can help you?” he asked and the guy glanced at another cadet “just know, none of us want a pirate as our kids teachers”
(Name) Just stared, refusing to let them feel like they won but the constant prejudice... It fucking hurt.
(Name) Stood and wandered off, a bored expression on his face but Uhura knew the other was upset.
So she did something about it.
She fucking told on them.
Pike had never felt more ashamed of his crew, watching Spock sit before him silently seething and it was honestly terrifying as those cadets were in Science, and worked with them regularly.
He was fully aware of (name)s struggle with Starfleet, it was hard for the Orion to relax outside of their room and even when they were alone he was still on edge, Spock wasn't stupid to the fact (name) quite literally gave up everything to be with him. (Name) Wanted to do good and be better but he couldn't even breathe without someone looking at him.
And Spock? He could only understand to an extent, facing backlash for his half human origins but he couldn't even grasp what (name) must face when he's not present.
He finally connected eyes with Pike, eyes filled intent on both ends and the captain spoke “on behalf of Starfleet-- I'm so sorry this behaviour is despicable and frankly I'm horrified at this”
“Do not apologize to me, I am not the one who deserves an apology” Spock said and realized he didn't know where (name) was or how he was coping.
(Name) Sat in his ship, a sense of grounding at the familiar surroundings... He could pretend to be back on Orion... That he was seeing his niece, how was Astrea-- did she have a safe birth? What did she name the baby? Did the baby look like her?
What would Asrea do in a situation like this?
Probably kick their asses honestly but (name) didn't want to cause more problems for Spock, the man was busy as it was.
Knock knock
“It's me, La’an...” A woman's voice called and (name) looked a bit confused but pushed a button and let her aboard his ship, standing and walking towards the door and the woman stepped in, looking around “I'm not good at this comforting stuff but I know what it feels like to be judged on something out of your control now” she stepped up and looked up at him “would you like to spar, to get the anger out?”
“... Fuck it sure”
Spock searched for his beloved high and low before seeing him fight La’an in the combat ring and the Orion seemed to be teaching her Orion combat techniques and she in return teaching him Starfleet, the Orion moving strategically and with a skill that surprised Spock and honestly made him a bit more attracted.
(Name) Eventually pinned the Lieutenant and Spock felt a strange feeling in his chest, a feeling he didn't like at all.
(Name) Helped her up before glancing over and smiling at his boyfriend, wandering towards him “hello you, is it your lunch already?” (Name) Asked and tried to resist touching the pretty Vulcan but his hands subconsciously went to the others and linked index fingers and Spock noted that the Orion was incredibly happy when making eye contact with him but there was a festering upset beneath that concerned the black haired man.
“It is, I have come to collect you” Spock lied and (name) smiled and turned to La’an “we should do this again, been a while since I had an opponent that could almost take me down”
“Next time I'll take you down, don't you worry (name)” that was the first time she called him that, by his name.
(Name) Smiled softly before letting Spock bring him to their quarters where a simple meal was prepared, (name)s joy spiking when he saw this “these... These are Orion foods!” He beamed, vegan meals of course for the Vulcan but Orion none the less. (Name) Turned and kissed Spock gently, hand on the others perfectly straight back “you're too good for me...”
“shall we eat?”
(Name) Was happily eating his food before Spock spoke “I was informed of what happened in the Lounge” his words made (name) halt “I'm used to it, Orion's have a reputation after all...”
“Though it happening on this ship, with my subordinates is completely unacceptable and it will be handled" (name) knew there was no arguing with the other “I just don't want to cause trouble for you”
“The only thing causing me trouble is you neglecting to tell me when you are being harassed, I expect none of this if you want the relationship to succeed” Spock said seriously and stared down (name) who nodded sheepishly “now, outside that situation how have you spent your time today?”
“Studying, I made friends with Uhura and you saw the training... I saw the blush by the way” (name) teased and Spock scoffed a little “I don't know what you're referring to”
“Suuuure... Don't worry I find it attractive when you work, seeing you focused and in charge is very attractive” (name) said back with a soft smile, linking their two fingers together and the Vulcan kept composure but (name) knew he was flattered.
(Name) Sat in Pikes office while the man looked defeated “I wish this was the only time I would have to apologize to you on behalf of Starfleet” the man said exasperated and (name) shrugged “not the first time, definitely won't be the last” the man seemed used to it “I don't expect them to warm up to me overnight or even a few months..”
“But to blatantly disrespect and criminalize you like that is horrific and goes against everything we stand for especially with what we learned about your efforts of preserving and saving historical artifacts, why didn't you tell us you recovered that Vulcan temple?”
This caught Spock's attention fully and (name) shrugged “I don't believe doing things for good should be done for favor or attention... I did it because it needed to be done” he said simply and the others looked at him “I mean if you had the chance to help someone, why wouldn't you?”
“I suppose your right”
“Now, if you are all done with this may I go? I have my exam in two days and I want to be sharp as a whip for it”
“Of course, you may go” Una said softly and (name) wandered out to go study much to his boyfriend's joy.
Though that was a lie.
(Name) Was learning about Vulcan engagements, he didn't want to propose just yet... Too soon but he wanted to be prepared.
“Engagement necklace...” He looked at it and hummed “I could make that” he said simply and thought about a material he could use to forge it before settling on the dagger, the one he gave to Spock as a promise.
Spock was working quite late tonight...
Growing up on Orion taught him many skills and forging was one, the man ending up in the weapons repair space and began constricting the necklace and looked at the knife he kept on him and the gemstone on the bottom and removed it before using the opal like Jewel to chip it into the pointed diamond shape of the necklace.
It took hours and hours but he had something he was proud of.
A perfect blend of Orion metals and Vulcan design... In four months he would propose to him and he hoped Spock would say yes!
Spock was silent as he worked, the rest of the science team nervous at how he was behaving... He was always quiet but this was a type of quiet they weren't used to, this was a disappointing and angry quiet. Spock tried to keep his emotions in check, dispelling any anger but seeing the two who blatantly disrespected his mate like that made him have to search deep within himself to not let his emotions get the better of him.
He knew the captain and first had a talk with them and by how sheepish they seemed, the two probably laid into the cadets and probably got threatened with removal for such actions but it didn't feel like enough for Spock “mr. Spock..” one of them spoke up, quiet and sheepish and the Vulcan snapped his attention to them and stared silently and they sighed “w-were sorr--""words mean nothing to me. Better yourselves mentally and emotionally and then apologize” he snapped and the two cadets in question shrunk a bit “you joined Starfleet to unite planets and bring peace yet you spout hate and racism that I do not tolerate, until I see change please keep conversation professional.”
That hurt to hear from the person whom you admired the most and the two felt like crying but held it together.
