Are You Crazy - Scotty

Scotty pulled his coat closer, tightening his scarf with his other hand. "Why does it have to be so bloody cold all the time?" He muttered under his breath.

Suddenly the sound of a large door opening and closing echoed throughout the bunker. Slowly, Scotty stood and reached for the closest heavy object, brandishing it as a weapon. Knowing that his little creature friend wouldn't be strong enough to open one of the outside doors, he had to be sure it wasn't some unwanted guest.

Scotty peeked his head around the open door of his workroom, looking out into the long cold hallway. He saw a petite figure bend down to brush snow off their clothes and stomp it off their shoes. But when they stood, Scotty about dropped the pipe he was holding. Beautiful is not a strong enough word to describe the woman who dropped her thick, fuzzy, snow-covered hood. Suddenly coming to his senses, Scotty's eyes widened and he rushed to go sit back down at his work table, acting like nothing happened.

You rubbed your gloved hands together, blowing warm air into them in hopes of gaining some kind of feeling. You were sent here to help a Starfleet engineer with whatever it was he needed help with. You pulled the short end of the stick when it came to assignments. You thought your sister's boyfriend would be able to pull some strings to get you on the Enterprise with her but Vulcan's have a hard time with family favors. So now you have been sent to the far reaches of space to babysit a Scotish loner.

Your head snapped up when you hear the sound of something moving down the hall. You take note one of the doors standing wide open. That must be where he his. But just to be careful, you whip out your phaser and set it to the lowest stun setting. Once you got closer to the open door you closed your eyes and took a deep breath. Thinking better than just walking in, guns a blazing, you held the phaser behind your back and knocked with your free hand.

"Mr. Scott? I, uh, don't mean to startle you but, uh..." You slowly made your way into the room, spying a man covered in various pieces of clothing sitting with his back to you. You jumped when he turned around, opening his arms out wide with a smile pulling at his face.

"Lassie! Welcome to my ice box of solitude! I have my wee gremlin friend around here somewhere." He mumbled the last part under his breath.

You raised an eyebrow in confusion but smiled sweetly as you disarmed your phasor with one hand behind your back. Tucking it in the back of your pants and hiding it with your coat, you stepped forward intending to shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Scott. My name is (Y/n). I was sent here to keep you company for a while and help you where you need it." Scotty stood and took your hand in the both of his.

"Well, I would congratulate you but it's not exactly the most ideal job off the planet. Did they happen to bring some extra supplies with you?"

You smiled for real this time. "Yes, they did. I put in a special order for something strong for you. I wasn't what you would like but..." You trailed off as you watched the Scotsman's face light up like a child on Christmas. He stood and wrapped you in his arms quite suddenly.

"Bless you, lassie! You know how to make a good first impression!" Scotty let out a whoop of excitement as he left the room, you trailing after him with a big smile on your face. Shaking your head slightly, you followed the man out the building to help him bring in the extra supplies.

It had only been a couple of months, but it felt like the two of you had known each other for years. It took a while for Keenser to get used to you being around but the Scotsman took a liking to you right away. And the thing is, now you are pretty sure he likes you a bit more than a...friend. But as of late, the notion of his feelings being so intimate does not phase you. In fact, you just might welcome it. Maybe. As it turns out you had arrived when it was it's warmest on this planet, now it has fully become winter.
