[Butterflies and Hurricanes Verse - New Beginnings]

So much had happened in the past few weeks that participating in an ordinary training mission felt a little surreal. Of course, Nyota had graduated recently enough that being on the instructor's side of the exercise felt new, but she was more than comfortable with the leadership role. Just as if nothing had really changed John would be there at ( Read more... )

"Oh, Hello!" He was sitting in the communication room, reading through the transmissions being filtered through to the bridge. Everything they saw, he would see it too, if not more. They tried to weed out the minor stuff so the bridge would have what they needed. That kiss? Definitely unexpected but very pleasant and welcomed.

It hadn't been long since they've gotten back together. Their parting was... not good on any terms. They both had grown increasingly paranoid of being caught, and he started to worry of losing his job and reputation which reflected in their time together. He was distancing himself from her as much as he tried to deny it. Also, he was starting to feel pressure from his family, despite them still being in Scotland, but they didn't know Nyota was his student, and he couldn't put that drama on her. The break up was nasty and just a week before the Narada events took place, which didn't make things any better.

"Just fine," she replied gently, running a hand through his hair. Even if they weren't being as secretive now as they were before, as soon as the students showed up they'd have to act professional.

"I slept... a little." He smiled at her, leaning into her touch. "You know I don't like being on ships. First few nights are the worst." One would think complete darkness would allow him to sleep very well, but the foreign bed, the hums of the engine, it unsettled him initially.

"Oh, here." He hands her his PADD, which gave another recount of the communication used during the Narada incident. "You and Commander Spock are mentioned in this analysis. Thought you might like to read. A really good analysis of the situation from a communication frame of mind."

She didn't talk much about what happened during her time on the Enterprise and all that had happened, and he never pressured her to. John knew well enough when she'd talk about it, she'd talk about it.

It wasn't all that unusual to have trouble sleeping on ships - Nyota didn't find it all that easy herself - but she still worried about his sleeping habits. "I guess I'll just have to make sure you sleep tonight," she teased gently, a small hint of mischief in her eyes as she took the PADD from him ( ... )
