Summary: Leonard is easy to read; Nyota can tell at a glance when he needs comforting. For
igrockspock.
The moment Nyota saw him, sitting on the edge of their bed with his shoulders hunched, his hair disheveled, she knew. No need to ask, What’s wrong? She just knew.
Wordlessly, she unzipped her uniform and wriggled out of it. After removing her boots, she climbed up behind him on the bed and leaned against his bare back, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck.
For some time, they were quiet, simply breathing together. Then, slowly, he straightened, leaning back into her embrace. She kissed his cheek and stroked him over the heart.
“Haven’t found the cure yet.”
“You will.”
