I don't own Star Trek

Warning: Even though McCoy was taking care of Spock, because urg...he was throwing up his brain and heart, Kirk was more focused on staying away from Sadie. Now that Uhura had made Spock admit his feelings, it was the visiting officers job to get the captain to do so.)

No Thank You

Part Seven: McCoy

It was McCoy's job to be with Spock the day he threw up his brain and heart. Something happened in that room, because every day after that, the two couldn't stand each other. They became snarky, and always had opposing views on everything. And when you traced it back it all began the day Spock threw up his heart and brain. Of course, no one traced it back, so aside from Spock going through turmoil, it was a regular day.

Except he was avoiding Science Officer Sadie with a passion.

Kirk had heard from Chekov that Uhura and Sadie had come up with some sort of plot to rid Spock and Kirk of their manliness. By making them admit their feelings.

Of course, she found him, because being smart sometimes means being smarter than other people. Mainly Captain Kirk.

She had him trapped at a table in an empty mess hall before he could even make up an excuse.

"Though I truly doubt you follow it, there is a rule about fraternization between a captain and any other crew mate. Of course I'm sure that Sp-"

"I'm aware of the rule," Kirk said. He would flirt his way out of this situation if he had to. "But you aren't one of my crew mates dear."

Sadie just glared. "One, I'm at least a good 10 years older than you kiddo. Two, I'm not at all interested in someone like you. And three, I wasn't done talking." she had a 'interrupt me again and I'll castrate you' look in her eyes, so Kirk kept his mouth shut. "Now, Spock probably believes you should follow this rule, and that's probably the biggest thing standing in the way of you two getting together."

"Oh, well let me just go fire him so we can screw." Kirk said a little pissed off.

"I didn't say that. But what I'm saying is that the two of you are so incredibly different that you could either be perfect together or completely destroy each other. Like an unmovable object, and an unstoppable force. And they two of you have to figure out if it works or it doesn't. But hurry up with it. From what I've heard, everyone can see that the two of you have something. There are even bets on when the two of you are going to get together. So really, get on with it." With that she stood up. "I have stuff to do, so," she did this little wave, "see you later."

Spock was better and back to work. Sadie and Aalaa were dropped at their base, and slowly everything was drifting back to normal. Things were awkward between everyone, but they were all professionals, so they ignored it. And even though Chekov and Spock wouldn't look each other in the eye, Uhura was all huffy at Scotty, and McCoy and Spock were constantly disagreeing, everything seemed to be just fine. Kirk decided to ignore what Sadie said, because not much seemed to change between him and his First Officer. Then one night he was in his quarters, and there was a knock at the door. It was Spock.

"I would like to speak with you Captain."
