A little boring isn't all that bad

Scotty x Reader

Request: “Are you SURE I can’t punch him in the face?” “Yes.” “What if I just break his nose a little?”

Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott has worked with many people through the years. He’s had his fair share of boneheads, may it be teachers that wouldn’t believe in him or his ideas or subordinates who liked to doubt every single one of his decisions.

He’s worked with lots of people. Some of them he liked and some of them he even fancied and when he meets you for the first time, it’s not that special, at least he’d like to think of it that way.

You’re one of hundreds of newbies that have stepped out of the academy and onto their respective Ships. You’re smart, but that’s no surprise. You wouldn’t be on the Enterprise of all ships if it were different. And Scotty likes to make sure that he doesn’t have to work with more boneheads than necessary as long as he is the Chief Engineer.

What makes you stand out from the others, perhaps, is the smile edged on your face as you walk through the hallways. It’s bright and inviting and as you talk to one of your peers, he can see that it’s infective.

Maybe you like new beginnings.

Two months into their mission and three extremely annoying and nerve wracking training courses with the newbies later he realizes that your smile is a permanent feature.

He’s seen you jump out of your room in the middle of the gamma shift for a night training - you had smiled at him, hair disheveled, wearing your shirt the wrong way.

He’s seen you wobble down the catwalk with a hand pressed to a deep cut on your arm. The smile is there, shaky maybe, but still edged onto your lips.

And he can’t help to be intrigued.

But he’s the Chief Engineer and he tries not to pry into the lives of the ones that work under him. He’s never liked it when people tried to do that with him either.

It’s not until five months into their mission that he learns one important clue.

.

It’s time for a shore leave. Everyone is buzzing with excitement and as he walks down the catwalk for a last check-up, he runs into you.

The smile on your face has light up, something he hasn’t even thought to be possible. You’re practically beaming right now.

“Excited to go on a break?” He asks and your head bobs up and down as you nod.

“I’m meeting up with my significant other,” you ramble as you walk alongside him, “Haven’t seen him in months. Are you meeting family too? I’ve heard Dr. McCoy’s meeting some closer family members. Apparently he’s almost happy today.”

He listens to you talk and feels the weight of disappointment settle in his guts, surprising him with how much he must have hoped for a chance with you.

He forces himself to make small talk with you, ask you questions, smiles at you. He doesn’t want you to notice anything. It’s not your fault that he’s managed to develop a crush on you.

He can only hope that your partner knows how lucky they are to be the one who sets a smile like that on your lips.

.

He makes it his mission to not spend his break in misery.

He goes out with Keenser and drinks until he no longer cares about the brightness of your smile.

But the next day when he walks out of the little apartment they’ve given him during shore leave, he walks into you. And your smile is gone.

Your eyes are red, your face is pale and your lips are stretched into a wobbly line as if you might start to cry again.

And he knows that not even the shower he’s had has taken away all of last nights smell, that his hair looks like he’s been standing too close to an explosion and his shirt is wrinkled at best, but he can’t just let you walk away when you’re looking like this.

“Hey,” he puts a hand on your shoulder and faces the insecurity in your wide eyes, “Do you want to talk about it?”

You break out in tears instead and he holds you in the small, unlit hallway as you sob, unable to speak.

.

And later, when he’s managed to get you to eat and drink something - fruits and a cup of tea, even though he would have liked something stronger instead - you start to speak, unable to stop.

It all ends in a broken relationship, a broken promise, a broken trust. And tears. Lots and lots of tears.

He lets out a breath that sounds more like a heavy sigh.

“I’ll punch him in the face,” he declares and it doesn’t matter that the person of question is a highly trained security officer, he’s still pretty handy when he wants to be.

You laugh. It’s short and a little bit strained, but it’s the first step back to that bright smile on your face.

“You can’t punch him in the face.”

“But are you SURE I can’t punch him in the face?”

“Yes.”

“What if I just break his nose a little?”

You laugh again, louder this time and you stretch out one hand and rest it on his shoulder and he would be lying if this simple touch didn’t mean the world to him.

“No, Mr. Scott, you can’t even break his nose a little.”

“That is boring,” he tells you with a smile that you reciprocate.

And maybe it is boring, how you sit in his room in shared silence for a while, how you move on to spend your shore leave in that same shared sense of quiet comfiness, but he’s happy and as he sees that smile on your face grow and light up again, he knows you’re happy too.

How foolish of him to think that any other person but you yourself could put that smile on your face.

But as shore leave ends and everyone moves to get back on the ship, your paths cross more often than they used to.

And when your hand slips into his one day and he feels your smile on his lips, he thinks, that maybe, just maybe, a little bit boring isn’t all that bad.

Act my Age - part 11

Scotty x reader - masterlist

“Lieutenant Y/N!” Lieutenant Parks slips out of the group of security officers leaving mess hall to greet you when you enter. She slaps you on the shoulder softly, her own laid-back version of a hug. “I met Haylee this morning. Tayla told her that she’s allowed to work on the samples.”

“Oh yes, and she’s doing great. T’Leer had to keep an eye on her in med-bay to make sure she’s not back to work before her arm’s completely healed but the progress she made in one day is astonishing. You’re fine as well, I assume?”

Parks laughs. “Still a bit rattled from the crash, but Haylee has offered to teach me a bit of piloting to get over it. I’m sleeping a lot better since I understand what she did and why it worked out.”

“That’s good to hear. I don’t want to keep you from your work, but after our success, Spock has asked me to plan the next mission, with the outcome of an intact shuttle, preferably. So far I only know that we will have to bring supplies down to a colony and the Captain wants to go with us. I could use a security officer I can trust.”

Parks is unable to hide the proud smile and bids you goodbye with another clap on your back.

You get yourself lunch, walking over the back of mess hall where the tables have emptied again. The new samples keep you at work longer, but you don’t mind the distraction.

It has been four days now since you’ve come back and so far you haven’t seen or heard anything from Mr. Scott.

Figures, you think, and bite into the sandwich you’ve replicated, chewing carefully.

Yes, it hurts. But as your brother had assured you, heartbreak won’t kill you if you don’t let it.

Doesn’t mean you wouldn’t like to have your brother’s company now, or that of any other friend.

“Is that seat taken?”

You shake your head before looking up and freeze when you do so.

Mr. Scott smiles down at you gingerly, waiting for you to take back the offer.

You sigh and wave your hand and he sits down across from you, putting his tablet down in front of him.

You look down at the content of his plate and wish you could smile as easily as you would have a week ago. The two of you have ordered the same things. The Sandwich of the day and a cup of strong black tea.

“I’ve heard ye’ve made some interestin’ discoveries about anaerobic bacteria this month, is that right?”

You put down your sandwich, looking at him for a long moment, before speaking.

“Why are you doing this?”

He looks down at his still untouched sandwich before looking at you again, as if he had to break eye contact to gather his courage.

“Because I’m a stubborn old man who has no idea how to properly flirt with tha’ new science officer who is too smart and too cute to be interested in him.”

“What?” You suddenly find it very difficult to breathe, yet speak.

“Ye asked me what I would have done if I would have been in yer position. It took me one day to find the answer, one more to be able to confess my wrongdoings to my friends and two more to gather the courage to try and set this thing between us right. To ask for a second chance.”

“And what’s the answer?”

There’s a smile on his lips, a small, hesitant one, but it’s there.

“I have done exactly the same. I have seen all those details hinting towards a truth I did not want to see because the truth I’ve managed to make myself believe meant that I could see ye every week and talk to ye about something I know everything about. That wasnae really fair to ye, I guess because I could stay in my comfort zone while pulling ye out of yers.”

“And what are you planning to do now?” You ask, breathless and knowing you will have to go over his words a few more times for the bubbles in your stomach to calm down.

“Well…” he looks down at his plate one more time, “I thought it’s time that I got out of my comfort zone and let ye explore yers. Ask ye… well, ask ye if you’d like to call me Montgomery…” His voice breaks when he says his name and he has to say it again, cracking a smile at himself.

“And if ye want, I’d like to take ye out on a date. I can offer ye the observation deck or the cozy inside of a Jeffries tube.”

“I liked our study dates,” you tell him, pausing before adding his name, “Montgomery.”

“Ye did?”

“You’re a good teacher.”

“I heard ye’re one as well.”

“Are you asking me to teach you Science?”

“Should I?” He smiles, you smile. Who would have thought it could be so easy…

-Weeks later -

“There’s something I have to ask you,” you mumble before moving your hands over the desk, zooming in a particular set of bacteria, “Do I know the friends you talked to about, well, us?”

He looks up from the PADD you’ve given him to jot down everything.

“Well, I’m sure ye know Kirk and I did see ye talking to McCoy.”

“You’ve talked to the Captain… about us?”

He looks surprised.

“Well, I guess he’s more my friend that he’s my Captain. Besides, he said he had told ye to tell me everything, so… ye talked to him about us too, right?”

“I didn’t… I meant… He…”

Montgomery gives you one of that smiles that tells you he’s trying very hard not to laugh at you.

“On the other hand, I have to ask ye if you’ve told your boss that me meeting you here has a whole different meaning now.”

“If you think I told Commander Spock that you’re using these lessons as an excuse to kiss me, you’re wrong.”

“But you told him we’re in a relationship?”

“I told him that I did not find you irritating anymore. Which was a mistake, I think.”

“Hey!” He lunges forward, dropping the PADD on the desk and catching you easily, despite your efforts to get away.

He kisses you, sloppily at first, because he’s teasing you, but it grows softer as soon as he realizes you’re not planning to go anywhere.

You move your arms, sling one around his shoulders to pull him towards you, pressing yourself into him to enjoy his warmth and closure, when the door swishes open with that familiar sound.

“Yuk, you’re disgusting!”

You pull back to glare at your brother, Montgomery’s head leaning against your shoulder. His own shoulders are shaking, telling you that he’s not ashamed, but trying to hide his laughter.

“You know, you should really learn what the word privacy means.”

He grins. “And I’ve just come to tell you that Spock is looking for you. I figured you didn’t want him to find you making out with the Chief Engineer, but hey, I’ll just go back to work and mind my business, you know.”

“Thank you,” you grumble, slipping out of Montgomery’s embrace who’s calmed down enough to look back at your brother.

“You know, you’re my boss and all,” he says and you turn around to look at him, still standing in the doorway, hands now put on his hips as he tries to look more intimidating, “But you should know that I’m watching you. In case you hurt her and all.”

“Oh Gosh, just leave,” you tell him, “You’re embarrassing yourself.”

He sticks his tongue out at you before turning and leaving and you sigh when Montgomery leans forward, slinging an arm around you and pulling you close.

“You know, sometimes I’m wondering if he really is the older twin.” He mumbles into your hair and kisses your temple.

“He’s not the only one who does not act his age.”
