Surprise!

@virtu-s Here is a little birthday gift for Aurora! I hope you like it and it fits her!

Enjoy

„Sir your delivery has arrived.“

“Thanks Chief, to the bridge please.”

“Aye Sir!”

Pike smirked lightly than entered his quarters. He found Aurora on the couch, reading a book.

“Up Cinderella, I´ve got something for you.” Chris didn´t wait for her answer, grabbed her arm and guided her out of the room.

“I´m not in the mood for birthday presents. “ She twisted her eyes. “Anyway I don´t want them and you know that!”

“Yes, Yes I know but I found the perfect one so please, just this time.” His hand on her back they entered the turbolift.

“I was perfectly fine with the beautiful bouquet of daffodils you give me in the morning.”

“Yeah but I guess you like this one even more.” He smiled at her. “It´s just arrived, had a long journey and waits on the bridge. In my opinion it talks too much and it´s Captain was too willing to leave it here for a few days.”

“What?”

The door opened and they stepped upon the bridge.

“And I bet she refused to wear the ribbon I handed her.”

“It was a screaming pink, glittering monstrosity made of tulle.” The commando chair turned around and Aurora made an unexpected funny noise. “You didn´t really think that I put it on my head.”

“For me?” Pike raised is eyebrows.

“Certainly not, pumpkin.” She tilted her head slightly to the side.

“Angelina!” On Auroras face spread out the brightest smile since weeks. “That’s not true?”

“Oh it is.” The Betazoid woman, dressed in gold, ranked as Commander raise from the chair, her smile as bright as the one in the face of her long missed friend.

And how she missed her. Five years of unsteady and rare subspace communication let her fear that their friendship would get through it and now she was standing right in front of her, that imperturbable optimistic view in her black eyes and an aura around her that let Aurora guess she was the Captain of this ship, not the wonderful, lovely man next to her.

“Can I get a hug or will you continue staring at me?”

Still speechless Aurora stepped forward, throw her arms around her and closed her eyes as Angelina replied the gesture in the same warmly way.

“Happy Birthday Rora.”

******

Many years ago, the same date

Splashing footsteps, followed by a funny curse get Auroras attention to her left side.

“Okay, if this is the result of a little malfunction in the weather control systems, I don´t be keen to know what happened if it fault out completely.”

“I like the rain.”

“Oh me too, but I don´t like thunderstorms.” She jerked as the next thunder rumbled through the sky, leaving Aurora a little smirking. “Damn, that was loud.” The woman, Aurora guessed she must be at her age smiled at her. Even in the twilight she recognized her completely black eyes. “Hey, did we know each other?”

“Not personally I guess, but you are in my astrophysics class.”

“Oh yes.” Her eyes brightened. “You´re Aurora Desruisseaux.”

A little impressed about the flawless pronunciation of her name Aurora nodded. “Angelina, right?”

“Angelina Devereaux.” Ah, that explained a lot. “How about.” She pointed over her shoulder. “It´s almost five o´clock, let´s have a tea together.”

Ten minutes later the two women warmed her cold hands on her teacups, already involved in a conversation like two old friends.

“Oh wow, linguistics!” Angelina face showed totally impression. “I´m so bad in learning foreign languages, I still stuck at French.”

“If you into it, it comes with itself.”

“Oh no, I believe you must have some talent for that especially for that amount of languages!”

“Thank you.” Aurora was sure she was getting blushed. “What´s your major subject?”

“Space technology and astronomy.” She smiled a little shy. “Don´t reveal it but I think my place is in the commando chair of a spaceship.”

“I don´t know you very well but something tells me that you will end up there.”

“That´s nice from you.” Angelina leaned back in her chair. “The first Betazoid to command a Starfleet Ship.”

“I bet that only makes you better in it.”

“And I bet you ask yourself since I stepped beside you if I read in your mind?”

“I didn´t.” Aurora shrugged on shoulder. “Okay, maybe a little bit. I never meat a Betazoid before, I mean personally.”

“It´s okay, really.” Angelina smiled and Aurora felt a tone of stones felt from her heart. “I would do the same and to answer your question, which I have looked at the tip of your nose by the way, I didn´t read your mind, just your feelings, but that’s something I couldn´t control.”

“And?” “Your nervous, like everyone that I meet here but you not afraid of me.”

“Why should I be afraid?”

“I have no idea.” She smiled a little sadly. “But that’s the normal reaction when I meet people, they forced themselves through some not binding word and then bring as much as room between me and them as it is still politely.”

“That´s mean.” And absolutely incomprehensible. “I find it fascinating.”

“Yeah.” She looked up as something catches her attention. Aurora turned around and starts smiling.

“Are you following me pumpkin?”

Aurora’s eyes got bigger as she heard that nickname that Chris hated so much, turned around and stared at her new friend.

“What?” Angelina stared back.

“Oh no, that’s you?” She pointed at her, trying her best to hold herself together.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Pike got Angelina a funny look before he leans toward Aurora to place a shortly kiss on her lips. “I hoped I didn´t see you till Monday.”

“I hoped for Tuesday.”

Both smiling brightly and Aurora was still amazed about the situation she found herself in.

“That´s unbelievable!” She shocked her head. “That is the girl that you told me about?” “Did you tell me now that Christopher Pike is your boyfriend? I mean there is no needs for this you’re both feelings are talking for you.”

“Yeah.” Chris curled his nose. “Are you two friends?”

“Since an hour or so.” Angelina stood up, still smirking at Chris. “You never told me that you have such a wonderful girlfriend.”

“I was sure you know it.” He squinted at her. “You mostly now everything.”

“I´m just pretending to know everything.”

“Oh that’s gold.” Aurora grabbed his hand. “Why did she call you pumpkin?”

“I don´t want to talk about it.”

“Please, make it my birthday present!”

“It´s your birthday?” Angelina tore her eyes, than looked form Aurora to Chris. “So I´m crashing your date right now?”

“No you didn´t! Stay!”

Chris wanted to appeal but as he saw the look on Auroras face, he bited his tough. That glimmer in her eyes, in both of their eyes makes him instantly clear that he had no chance against this newly growing friendship and by knowing both women it was clear that it was destiny that they met.

“The hell I do!” The Betazoid smiled bright. “But I have a propose. You and I have breakfast together, tomorrow and you two know have your date.”

“I would like that.” Aurora raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”

“Of course.” She pointed at Chris umbrella. “Can I borrow that?”

Pike handed it to her, his silent Thank you in his mind.

“I wish you both a lovely evening.”

Aurora got up and hugged her new friend shortly.

“Happy Birthday Aurora.”

Then with a smile and a wink Angelina disappeared and Aurora was sure that she found a friend for life.

*****

Now

“It´s so good to see you.” Aurora glanced at Angelina. “It was so long ago.”

“Feels a lifetime ago.” The Commander looked around, than squinted at Chris. Aurora knew what comes next, what has to come.

“Don´t say it!”

“Orange.” There was an evil grin on her lips. Aurora giggled already.

“Somehow I know it was a mistake to invite you.” Pike twisted his eyes. “It should have made me wonder that Captain Roberts was nearly happy to get you of his ship a few days.”

“You´re still on the Atlantis?” Aurora pushed Chris softly away. They two could make enough fun of each other later. “I am and I stay there a much longer than I have planned it.”

“Sir, hails form Captain Roberts.”

“On the screen.” Pike turned around, a look at Devereaux. “Already longing?”

She woman shrugged her shoulder than she also turned around.

“Chris, sorry for the interrupt.”

“No problem Charles, what can we do for you?”

“Is my Fist Officer in reach?”

“Sir?” Angelina smiled at him.

“Ah Devereaux.” He seemed a little embarrassed but only for trained eyes. “When is my appointment with Dr. Simpson.”

“Midday Sir.”

“Yeah right.” He nodded. “He´s

“His wife had a boy a week ago, his name is Tobias and I stored a baby blanked at your ready room.”

“Oh yes, thank you.”

“I have been admitted Lt. Commander Johnson to everything that’s in need till the next days and wrote it down on a PADD placed on your desk.”

“Good Commander, thanks again. Then I could only wish you a nice spare time.”

“Thank you Sir.”

“I want her back Chris.”

“Oh you get her back Charles.”

Than the screen turned black and Aurora gazed at her friend. She knew the symptoms, even the Captain hided it nearly perfectly. Alzheimer´s disease.

“When?”

“Four weeks.” The Betazoid smiled a little gloomy. “It was diagnostic a year ago. But he accepted it very well, planed a long vacation together with his daughter. He made his peace about it and asked everyone to do the same. Only jokes about it are allowed on board.”

“What means.” Chris placed a hand on her shoulder.

“After my return to the Atlantis I get promoted to Captain and took over the command.”

“And that’s mention by you in a subordinate clause.” Aurora nudged her. “Why didn´t tell you?”

“It´s your birthday, it should be about you, not about me!” Angelina looked at her. “So, we talk about later!” She made a movement that made clear, she didn´t want to talk about it anymore. “First, I want to know what´s up in your life and do not think of dropping something! And I must see that ship!”

“Your released from your duties today Commander.” Chris smiled at Aurora. “Enjoy your day.”

Before he knew what happened Aurora throw her arms around him and hold him tight.

“That was the best gift ever.” She placed a kiss upon his cheek. “Thank you so much.” “I hoped you like it.”

He released her and the two women turned around to leave the bridge, arm in arm, like only one day has passed by not five years.

“Commanders be decent.”

“Shut up pumpkin.” Angelina looked back.

“For the next day´s it´s Captain pumpkin to you!” He winked at her. “And just for the protocol I burned that shirt, long ago!”

“Did you know that he never allow me to call him that nickname?” Aurora threw a hand kiss towards him.

“I had a clue.” Still over her shoulder she looked at him and he knew what come and hoped he still was able to do it.

Did you screw up the surprise party?

I didn´t but if you couldn´t distracted her for the next two hours it will be screwed up.

That should be no problem.

Good.

I´m impressed you still know how to do it.

I got a good teacher.

Smooth talker.

Let us stay to pumpkin.

They winked at each other.

“You know it is unfair when you do this?” Aurora laid her head on Angelina´s shoulder.

“Yeah but you such an incorrigible sniffing nose that we have no other way.”

“Okay I got the message.” She laid an arm around her. “So, how do we start?”

“It´s almost teatime and I´m so hungry.”

“Good, mess hall.”

Kuwabara in Trek!AU

My friend, the lovely @ladygreyfist, has given me permission to post this art, and I shall, along with the lovely “drabbles” (more like paragraphs) I wrote about the adventures of Ensign Kazuma Kuwabara, the new nurse in Starfleet Medical, joining the crew of the Enterprise.

Here are some of his few interactions with Doctor McCoy, Commander Spock, and Captain Kirk.

This is (technically) my first foray into published YYH fic (despite being a long term fan) so I hope I’ve done it justice.

McCoy

"Boy, you look more like a red shirt than a nurse with those muscles! What do you do, weight lift aliens?!"

"Uh no, Doctor McCoy," he said, face flushed with heat, hand on the back of his neck, "I don't do anything special."

He continued, ignoring the jab about being in security. "Besides, I like working in medical anyway. I like people better when they're alive."

The boy's eyes flickered for a split second before he caught McCoy’s own with a smile, eliminating the shadow. If McCoy was not accustomed to picking the subtlest of signs from his captain and the first officer, he too would not have noticed it. His new nurse was shaping to be an interesting individual.

"I do too," the doctor said, a quiver of understanding running between them, a hand patting a shoulder. His palm was met with bulging and compact muscles. Wow, was his nurse built! His muscles were almost as dense as Spock's!

Spock

"You must be Ensign Kuwabara, correct?"

The ensign turned at the sound of the first officer's voice, back straightening in respect. "Yes, sir. Kazuma Kuwabara reporting for duty, sir."

Kazuma inhaled, slow, aware of the scrutiny of those analytical, Vulcan eyes on him. Commander Spock was one of the best officers in the fleet and Kazuma was blessed to be given the opportunity of doing a good job among the best and brightest. He had hoped to meet expectations. He was capable of good work, after all, he was not Kazuma Kuwabara for nothing.

Spock did not say anything, just took in the ensign before him. If it weren't for the blue shirt wrapped tightly over defined muscles, Spock would have assumed the ensign was instead destined to be a security officer. But such contradictions were common among the crew of the Enterprise -- Lieutenant Sulu also presented a talent for security and was an accomplished botanist worthy of the sciences division. But he was their best pilot. Starfleet's brightest tended to be full of multi-talented individuals with a wide variety of skills and interests.

"Doctor McCoy is expecting you in Sickbay at 1400. The yeoman here will show you your quarters."

The ensign nodded, eyes gleaming. "I'm glad to be here, sir. I hope to serve Starfleet, the Enterprise, and Captain Kirk well."

Spock returned the gesture, hands clasped behind his back in his familiar pose. "I hope the same, ensign. There will be plenty of opportunities to do so."

Then, the first officer walked off, the voices of the yeoman and the ensign fading as they headed deeper into the ship.

Kirk

"Wow, ensign," Jim huffed, as the younger officer pulled him up to his feet with a firm, strong grip. "That was impressive."

He wiped his palm on his red pants, taking in the shining sweat of the taller man in front of him.

"You sure you aren't posted in security?" He said, a teasing smile and twinkle in his eye.

Kazuma's heart was pounding but he wasn't sure if it were for the fight itself or for the obvious praise his captain bestowed upon him. That infamous Kirk smile that could calm tensions between worlds was aimed at him, and he found his hand creeping up into the nape of his neck. "Nah, I've just been good at fighting my whole life. No big deal."

"Oh?" The captain said, walking over to the bench to pick up his towel. "I'd say you're better than a majority of my security officers here. That goes without saying. It wasn't notated on your official record."

Kazuma followed, wiping his own towel across his face. "I try not to advertise it much, Captain. I'm here to help people, not hurt others."

He watched as Captain Kirk sat down, his own muscles rippling in the light of their spar. The towel traveled down his shoulder, down the length of his arm.

"Well, you can certainly do good protecting people as a security officer." Kazuma knew this, had heard this plenty of times from friends back home, to his academy roommate, even his from his advisors and professors. They all believed he was suited to security. Perhaps they took in his tall, strong stature and defined muscles as an easy answer or how well he could hold up in a fight. But the truth was, he's always only fought to protect people if it was the last resort.

His hands tightened over the ends of his towel, which was draped over his shoulders. "Yes, but I'd ultimately hurt them in the end, Captain. I have too much strength sometimes."

Jim's towel fell to his lap with a wet flop, as he peered up into the ensign's face. "Ah," he said, nodding. "I think I understand."

Kazuma's eyes narrowed slightly, a stubborn willfulness blooming in them. His hands clutched the ends tighter. "Do you?"

Jim flashed another smile, more tender and sympathetic. "Where great power, comes responsibility. It's easier to control yourself when you're doing something else, isn't it, ensign?"

Kazuma blinked. "That's one way of looking at it, sir."

And just like that, it was as if the accusation did not exist at all.

"Well, it'll be good for Doctor McCoy. He tends to get into trouble that we never expect. It'd be good for someone like you to watch out for him."

Kazuma's hands fell to his sides, eyes wide. "Sir?"

The captain threw his head back, his laughter filling the air between them, masking the noise of the other gym goers going about their exercises. It was a calming, soothing tone, and Kazuma's chest felt warm but also tight.

"You'll see, Ensign, once you get acquainted on the ship."
