    by WarmNyota -- Jim and Nyota on a mission.

    Disclaimer: Borrowing with affection.

    This was gratifying on so many, many levels.

    ~~~~~~!!

    The Captain glowered at the officious Prefector. The research/science colony had just been approved six months ago and already the Sector's Prefector and other insular types were protesting, making silly unfounded claims that they were insurrectionists.

    "You're not as stupid as you sound." Jim was saying. "No one could be that assinine. You're tangling yourself up in all kinds of contradictions. Best to just quit while you have a semblance of credibility."

    Uhura, at the other end of the table wanted to roll her eyes and throw up her hands in resignation, as an officer, officially. Instead as herself--a lady with humor and appreciation of honesty, she disguised a laugh as a discreet cough. If he hadn't said that, she would have.

    From the very first moment he had flirted with her, she had pegged him as a typical guy on the make.

    Then she'd seen him under pressure and known he was something special indeed, a leader who would inspire loyalty and admiration in those who were under his command.

    Now, she knew him to be pure and unashamed Correllian through and through.

    And it was at that precise instance that she started to love him as a brother.


    ****

    After the proceedings, Jim caught up with her in the cafe across from the conference room. She was enjoying a frosty milk shake with a large helping of fried potatoes and a smothered steak with grilled onions. He ordered the same.

    "Was the entire meeting recorded precisely? I wouldn't want there to be a word left out, even accidentally." Jim questioned her.

    "Of course. Encrypted and ready to send to Fleet."

    "I have a feeling this Prefector will be encouraged to resign."

    "Hmm! Or voted out with a no-confidence sign tacked to his rear."

    They shared a laugh.

    "Off the record, I was tickled and gratified by what you said in the meeting. Not exactly per diplomatic protocol, but sometimes, most of the time, the candid way is just so a breath of fresh air."

    Jim winked. "Happy to oblige."

    As great as it was that Jim so succinctly put the Prefector in his place - which was fantastic [face_mischief] :p - I truly loved Nyota's reflecting on how her relationship with Kirk has grown over the years. To have come so far, and to have found such a meaningful partnership is a beautiful thing, and you perfectly captured that here! [face_love] [face_love]

    Well done! =D==D=
