A/N: READ IF UNFAMILIAR WITH STAR TREK. If not, skip this note. 

Basically there is a spaceship called the USS Enterprise.

-James T. Kirk (Jonghyun) is Captain of this ship.

-Spock (Minho) is the First Commander, or XO. He is Vulcan (pointy ears, green blood, black hair and eyes). Vulcans are touch-telepaths, i.e. if you touch them or vice versa, they can read your mind. They are also known to be outwardly unemotional (i.e. best pokerfaces ever) and have a penchant for all things logical. 

-Nyota Uhura (Key) is the Communications Officer (i.e, s/he knows a lot of alien languages and can translate for people who don't speak alien languages). 

-'Bones' McCoy (Onew/Jinki) is the Chief Medical Officer. He is Kirk's best friend. 

-Pavel Chekov (Taemin) is the ship's navigator (he sets the course for wherever the ship is going). He had a Russian accent in the movie but Tae is Korean, so I'm just going to use a lot of Korean words.  

 

"So Onew-hyung..."

 

"Yes?"

 

"I... Need your help."

 

"What with?"

 

"I... Have come to a realization."

 

"...of...?"

 

"I... Am in love."

 

"Oh? With whom?"

 

"Minho.

 

"Onew-Hyung?

 

"Hyung stop laughing it's not funny! I need your help here!"

 

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH THE INFAMOUS KIM JONGHYUN, IN LOVE WITH MINHO? THE VULCAN?" 

 

"HYUNG!

 

"...Hyung I swear if you keep laughing I'll remove every single chicken dish on the replicators' menu. And I'll use my captain's

override code."

 

"..."

 

"Thank you."

 

"You're mean."

 

"So are you. Well? Can you help?"

 

"What? Oh. Er. No."

 

"What!? Hyuuuuung!"

 

"Mianhae, I really can't help you that much. He's distant with everybody; I suppose I could suggest you give him a present or spend

time with him, but I don't even know what his hobbies are."

 

"He likes playing chess." Jonghyun blurts without thinking, earning him a look from his CMO and best friend.

 

"...How do you even know that?"

 

"I saw it once... Never mind, hyung. Thanks anyway, I guess. Bye!"

 

"Bye... Please don't take away my chicken!"

 

"I won't."

 

(Whirr...click.)

 

"DAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHH IN LOVE WITH A VULCAN. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY!"

 

(Grr...)

 

"Jonghyun."

 

"What- oh, hi Key. What up?"

 

"He plays three dimensional chess, his favourite dishes are plomeek soup and salad, he likes tieguanyin tea when Vulcan tea is unavailable, his favourite color is blue but he likes green, too, even though he insists having a favourite anything is 'illogical'."

 

"Wha- how do you know these things!?"

 

"I'm his best friend, you idiot. You could have come to me if you wanted help, instead of the useless chicken maniac in that room." The communications officer points to the shut door behind Jonghyun. 

 

"...oh."

 

"Anyway, I just thought you should know. Also, Jonghyun?"

 

"Yes?"

 

"Vulcans mate for life. If you break his heart, I'll break you so hard your own mother won't recognize you, Captain or not."

 

"...Understood, Lieutenant. Thank you." 

 

Key speculates him for several moments. "Good day, Captain. Oh, hello, Minho!" 

 

---

 

"Captain on the bridge!" 

 

"Thanks, Tae. Good morning, people!" 

 

"Good day, Captain. Here is the schedule for today. May I also suggest you actually begin signing the numerous documents that await you within the next 1.367 hours?" 

 

"Alright, alright Minho-ssi, I'll get to it soon." I'll get to them when I die, heheheh. 

 

"By the way, how 'bout a game or two of chess tonight?"

 

Silence on the bridge, as the entire present crew turns slowly to stare at him, incredulous.

 

"That would be... acceptable, yes."
 

"Great! Your place at 6? Mine is too messy." 

 

"Affirmative."

 

"Awesome." He glances at Taemin, whose mouth hangs open. The navigator immediately whips back around, pretending he didn't just get caught staring. 

 

---

 

"Captain."

 

"What? -Oh! It's my turn? Sorry, I was distracted." Distracted by your beautiful self. Dammit, I think I'm hyperventilating from him talking to me. Get yourself together, idiot!

 

"Captain..."

 

"Jonghyun, Minho. We're off-duty."

 

"...Jonghyun. If you are tired, I am amenable to continuing the game another time."

 

"No! No, I'm fine." You know what else is fine? YOUR FACE! It's daaaamn fine!

 

"Very well. It is, indeed, your move."

 

"Okay."

 

"I must admit, Captain-"

 

"Jonghyun."

 

"-Jonghyun, that you are a rather skilled player." 

 

Jonghyun's head jerks up in surprise. "I'm a better player than expected?" 

 

"No; it is illogical to expect anything from a opponent against whom one has never played before." 

 

The Captain peers at him. "Shut up. Didn't expect I would be this good, did you?" A few seconds more pass, then: "Wait. Did you just pay me a compliment?"

 

"I merely stated an observation, Jonghyun." 

 

He totally did! Man, look at that blush! He can be so cute! And now he's blushing even more. I want to kiss him so badly...

 

"Also, Jonghyun."

 

"Yes?"

 

"Checkmate." 

 

"...!" 

 

"...Indeed."

 

"Anyway," Jonghyun gets to his feet after helping Minho put the pieces away, "I should get to bed; it's probably late." I should get to bed before I jump you now that the miserable excuse for a distraction is over. He pats the Vulcan's shoulder, grins. "Good game, though. I'd love to do it again some time." He turns for the door. 

 

"Jonghyun." Oh, no. What did I mess up now?

 

"Ye- unf!" 

 

"..." 

 

"..."

 

"..."

 

"Minho..."

 

"Jonghyun..."

 

"You have- ahh- you have no idea how long I've wanted to do this..."

 

"I believe... the correct phrase would be 'that is my line'."

 

"What? Whatever, don't stop- hey! Get back here and kiss me!"

 

"Vulcans mate for life, Jonghyun."

 

"I know."

 

"You are sure you want this?"

 

"Yes, I'm sure. I- actually, I-"

 

"You love me."

 

"Ye- wait. How do you know this!?"

 

"Need I remind you that Vulcans are touch-telepaths? You may not have noticed it, but during the entire game your bare foot was in direct contact with mine. Furthermore, Vulcans have superior hearing. I heard you speak with Jinki-ssi, as I was next door. I would have liked to inform you that I return your sentiments, but the oppurtinity never occurred."

 

"...Oh."

 

The corners of Minho's mouth twitches in what would have been a full-blown grin on a human. "I love you too, t'hy'la." 

 

"Well what are you waiting for? Kiss me already, Commander!"

 

"Yes sir!"

 

---

 

"Ne, jagiya?" 

 

"Yes, Tae?" 

 

"Do you think the Captain and Minho-ssi are ing right now?"

 

Key spits his drink across the table. "Taemin!"

 

"Yes, jagiya?" 

 

"...Nothing." 

 

A/N: AAAAAAAAAAAND DONE! Tell me what you thought? Gomawo! *90 degree bow* There may or may not be an epilogue. Or other fics set in the same 'verse. In any case I have to go make dinner now. 

 

*Minho called Jjong t'hy'la. (According to the many fics I've read) It means something like 'friend, brother, lover'. Basically, he called him the love of his life. D'awwww~~~
