As Spock gazed at Nyota in surprised wonderment, it was as if he were seeing her loveliness for the first time, which was puzzling, bringing as it did the thrill of a newly discovered delight.
Her curve-hugging dress was black and sleeveless, leaving her shoulders to gleam in the fading light of transitioning twilight to rising moonlight. The latter glinted off her shimmering tresses, which fell in a single braid across one shoulder. The k'lar necklace she wore nestled most tantalizingly in the hollow between her full breasts.

"Glad you like it, Imzadi," she whispered with a warm glow in her eyes.

Her refreshing scent, which he knew was lightly sprayed behind her ears, at her elbows, and at her throat wafted on the light breeze.

She waved a mischievous farewell to McCoy and Kirk with a laughing comment: "Poor Leonard. He's Casanova's sidekick again."

"Make that alleged," was Spock's rejoinder.

Nyota's laugh rippled again.

Fellow shipmates were eyeing them with curiosity and pleased acknowledgement from across the aisle. Nyota smiled and waved hello. Several were holding old-style opera glasses to watch the audience before the actual performance started.

The seats were plush. The performers were colorfully and richly garbed. Even the tuning of the orchestra was melodic, though at some venues it had a tendency to sound more like squawking avians.

Nyota rested one elegant gloved hand on the arm rest between them. She noticed Spock noticing the audience giving them the eagle eye. Spock made it a point to present his most dignified demeanor.

/Don't pay them any mind,/ she sent an assuring thought his way, /Once the music starts, they'll be too enthralled in the magnificent performance./

Spock, trying to be unobtrusive, rested a hand on the arm rest as well. She moved hers to clasp his lightly.

He couldn't resist the welcome feel of her cool soft touch. A second after and he laced his fingers through hers and squeezed gently.

Her sense and her eyes both shone with intense gladness at the gesture.

As the performers sang, he couldn't help comparing the soprano's to Nyota's rich, golden tones when she sang with as much feeling as the virtuoso singing the aria.

As he glanced at her often during the performance, he saw her eyes closed in happiness. He wrapped her pleasure around them both.

During the intermission, friends and acquaintances came over to enthuse most volubly over the beauty and the poignancy of the voices and the plot.

She joined in with the rest, her eloquent gestures drawing her audience in, as always. It all held quite a ... breathless charm.

"That," Spock observed later, as he watched her brush out her hair, "was one of the most pleasurable evenings at the opera I've spent. The company's reputation is definitely well-deserved."

"Oh, yes," Nyota agreed, "I've been looking forward to this evening for quite some time! Could you undo this for me?" She asked, per usual.

He moved to unclasp her necklace, his fingers lingering and brushing lightly from the nape of her neck, across her shoulders and down her back. Happy chills were left in the wake of the caresses.

She nodded her thanks, put the necklace away and then spun to seize him tightly in a warm embrace. She beamed as he encircled her waist.
Spock continued: "I must admit, a great proportion of my enjoyment came from observing how much you enjoyed the entire show. When I chanced to glance over, you had your eyes closed, better to enjoy the complete aural experience, no doubt."

She trailed little kisses from his aristocratic brow to his li

 

Very beautifully done!

Spock and Nyota definitely make a great couple and their evening was just amazing.

Nicely done piece of mush, Jade. More than anything, I enjoyed your description of Nyota, how she was perceived by others, and how Spock saw her during the performance. The opera setting was original and fun and something I can see both Spock and Nyota enjoying together.

 

brodiew -- hi!!! The opera is a nice, classy setting, isn't it?

Yes, those very details I enjoyed writing--writing of others' perceptions illuminates a character as much but differently from first person. The lovableness comes out in the latter; in the former, how deeply appreciated and cherished.
