#vulcan fluff

Curiosity gets the better of you and you decide to quietly get out of bed and make your way to your door to see who it is. You slowly turn the doorknob and open the door, again as slow as you can and poke your head out. All you can see from your room is the light from the fridge.

You open your door a little more, just enough for you to exit and close it slowly. You slowly walk into the break room, not making a sound.

When you make it inside, you notice that it’s Vulcan. You lean against the wall, waiting for him to close the fridge. Once he fully stands up, he’s still looking down, bottle of water in hand.

He closes the fridge, turns in your direction and jumps once he notices you’re standing there. He puts a hand over his chest to help calm himself.

You do your best to hold in your laughter to avoid waking the rest who are asleep.

“Jeez, how long have you been standing there?,” he says in a hushed tone, still holding his chest

“A little bit,” you answer in the same hushed tone

He walks over to the ledge of the window and sits down. You join him.

“Did I wake you,” he asks

“No,” you say,“I can’t sleep.”

“So what’s your story” you ask him

“I was asleep, ended waking up and my throat felt a little dry, so I came to get some water,” he says

It’s quiet and he opens up his water bottle to take a drink.

“Well how do you feel now,” you ask

“Like it’ll take me a while to fall back asleep,” he says with a laugh

“Well, since we both can’t sleep, do you wanna hang out for a bit,” you ask

“Can it be somewhere that we don’t have to keep whispering like this,” he says

“Sure,” you laugh out and say with a smile

Together, you both head up to the roof. You open and close the door as soft as you can for you both and exit onto the roof.

Vulcan lets out a refreshed breath.

“Now this feels much better,” he says

“I’m glad,” you say in response

You both take in the night sky as the stars and the moon glimmer above you. He moves closer to where you are and leans on the edge of the roof.

You start to feel the butterflies in your stomach flutter their wings at his closeness. A blush makes its way to your cheeks and your ears feel warm.

He looks over at you.

“You okay,” he asks with a soft laugh

“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” you say unconvincingly

He softly laughs again.

“You sure,” he asks

“Y-yeah, i-it’s just..you’re kind of..close,” you say nervously

“O-oh, I’m sorry. I can-” he says and starts moving away, but you cut him off by grabbing him

“N-no, you don’t have to move,” you start, “y-you just..make me..nervous,” you finish honestly

“R-really,” he asks surprised, but also a little sad

“N-not in a bad way !,” you say quickly

“I-,” you start then think to yourself that maybe this isn’t a good idea

Maybe you should keep these feelings to yourself.

“Never mind,” you say shaking your head and looking back at the night sky

“You can tell me, darlin’,” he says reassuringly

“I..l-like when you’re close…and I..like talking to you,” you say and look at him briefly

He softly smiles

“I like when you’re close too and I love listening to you. I’ll always be there for you y/n,” he says honestly and grabs your hand

You feel your face get hot

“Vulcan…can I be super honest and PROMISE you won’t freak out or be weird,” you say with your eyes shut tight

He lets out a small laugh

“I promise, babydoll. I won’t freak and I won’t be weird. I’m here and as long as you feel comfortable telling me, I’m listening,” he says

“I…l-like you Vulcan and I have for a while. It’s just been confirmed to me pretty recently that I’ve felt that way for a while. I don’t want you to feel like you have to reciprocate anything, I just-since it’s just us I…I wanted to tell you,” you say, a lump forming in your throat after

You were glad your voice hadn’t cracked because you had been holding on to this for so long.

“Y/n, I’m gonna be honest with you,” he starts and pauses

“Vulcan please don’t feel obligated to sa-,” you say

“I like you too y/n,” he says cutting you off

Your eyes finally meet his for the first time since this whole conversation started. His cheeks and ears are flushed in a shade of pink and his eyes, oh his beautiful turquoise eyes, are filled with the sincerity that’s always there when you speak to him.

“I’m not just saying it to make you feel good either, y/n. It’s…easy talking to you. I want to take care of you and be there for you, but more than a friend or even a coworker or teammate. I didn’t want to say anything in the fear of making you uncomfortable or even not being sure of how I felt…I’ve had a rough past in the love department and I just…I didn’t wanna lose you in the event that this conversation did come up,” he says

“I know, Vulcan. I can tell by your eyes that you’re being sincere, that you mean every word…and I know that you’ve been through a lot…which is also why I didn’t want to pressure you into feeling like you had to say something. Honestly, I was prepared to act like I never said anything,” you say with a small laugh at the end

“Babydoll, your feelings are important and valid. I would never make you feel bad for having them. If I wasn’t ready to say anything, I wouldn’t have,” he said

He pulls you into a hug and massages the back of your head.

“I’ll protect you at all costs y/n. You mean a lot to me,” he says

He kisses your forehead and you look up at him. He looks back at you with soft eyes and you both just stare at each other for a moment.

“Y/n, could I m-maybe…kiss you,” he asks nervously

You let out a small laugh at his question

“Of course,” you say, a wide smile making its home on your face

He moves closer to you and you return, getting closer to him.

He places a soft and slow kiss on your lips, then slowly pulls away. You can feel the tension between your lips as he pulls away.

You place a hand on the back of his head and pull him close again, kissing him in the same way that his did to you. He pulls you closer, as close as your bodies can be.

Both of your breathing starts to quicken and you feel your bodies start to heat up. You pull away to catch your breath.

“Do you wanna..head inside,” you say breathlessly

“Mm,” is all he says and reaches his hand out for yours

Once your hand is in his, he interlocks your fingers and places a kiss on the back of your hand. You both make your way to the roof door and he opens it for you.

Still hold hands, you walk down the stairs until you make it to your room.

“Good night, sweet heart,” he’s says and goes to pull his hand away

“Wait…stay with me,” you say

He smiles

“Okay,” he says and you both enter your room

You lay down together and he cuddles you while caressing your head.

“Thank you Vulcan,” you say sleepily

“For what, darlin,” he asks curiously

“For being there for me and…for making me happy on my darkest days,” you say honestly

He lets out a small chuckle

“Don’t worry about it, darlin. Being with you…that’s more than enough. You don’t have to thank me,” he says

You scooch up a little on the bed and kiss his jaw.

He kisses your forehead then your nose and then moves down to your lips.

“Get some sleep, babydoll,” he says against your lips and places a quick peck

You move back down to his chest and close your eyes. His soft breaths and the sound of his heartbeat lull you to sleep.

Sitting in his lap with his muscular arms tightly wrapped around you. Your face in the crook of his neck taking in his natural scent. It floods your senses as you're trying to calm yourself. Doesn't matter the reason you're upset. He's going to take time out of his day to hold you like this. He has other things to do but for the moment he'll hold you and shush you softly. His fingers run through your hair and his arm tightens even more around you if you start crying.

You'll feel his lips find your forehead, kissing your skin lightly. Just to move both of his hands to your face and make you look at him. He doesn't care if you're crying- your eyes are all red and puffy- or if you're snotting uncontrollably. He's going to kiss all over your face. Pressing his lips to your tear stained cheeks. Showing you he's there for you in a non verbal way. And it's all you need to be "okay". To just feel him wrapped around you and embracing you with all the love he has for you.

You feel a blush start to creep on your cheeks

“Uh o-okay,” you say, nerves fluttering around in your stomach the way a hummingbird’s wings would

He let’s out a small, breathy laugh and sucks his breath in.

He opens his door and you both enter his room.

“Make yourself at home,” he says

You find yourself a spot on his bed and scoot up, so that your back is on the wall. You grab one of his pillows and put it in your lap.

“So,” he starts,“what’d you wanna talk to me about?”

He’s sitting on a chair facing you, looking in your eyes attentively. You see a softness. The same softness that was there when you leaned on him. When he held you. When he got you through one of your hard days.

“I wanted to thank you for the other day. You didn’t have to be there for me, but you were anyway. You didn’t force me to talk. You were just there and-thank you. It meant a lot to me,” you say honestly

You feel that your heart rate has sped up.

“No need to thank me darlin’, I could just tell by your eyes that you needed someone to just be there and I wanted to reassure you that you were safe to do it with me,” he says, never breaking eye contact with you

You blush and are slightly taken aback. You give him a small smile, your heart aflutter once more.

You place the pillow that’s in your lap in it’s original place on the bed.

You do a slight crawl to the edge of the bed to be closer to him. You place a small peck on his cheek.

“Thank you.”

Once you meet his gaze again, you notice a flush has been place on his cheeks that’s wasn’t previously there. You notice his jaw tighten and release.

“ ‘ts fine,” he says lowly and avoiding eye contact with you

“You okay,” you drag out

“Yeah, fine..that was just a little..unexpected,” he says nervously

You start to laugh

“Hey, what’s so funny,” he says gaining his confidence back

“I’ve just never seen you so flustered before,” you say through laughter

“W-well,” he says then trails off

You laugh again

“Sorry for catching you off guard Vulcan, it won’t happen again,” you say comforting him

He’s quiet for a second

“I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed if it did,” he says honestly

You feel your heart flutter and your face grow hot

He lets out a small laugh to your reaction.

“So cute,” he says

He cups your face in his right hand and moves in closer. You close your eyes to brace for the impact of his lips. He gives you a small peck on your forehead and you feel you body fully relax.

“Go shower,” he whispers against your forehead

You get up from the bed and like a puppy, obey what he says. He follows suit and walks you to the door.

He opens the door and you turn to face him.

“See you later,” you say

“See you,” he say with a small smile

You take your leave and make your way to bathe.

After you’re out of his sight, he closes his door, then slightly flops on his bed.

He lays on his back and smiles at the thought of you.

Hope you all enjoyed reading this!!!!!!!!!

You’re so in your head that you didn’t even know he came in.

He touches your shoulder which causes you to jump out of your daze.

“Sorry,” he says rubbing the back of his neck

You acknowledge him with a small ‘it’s okay’ smile and face out the window again.

“May I,” he asks while gesturing to your legs

You bring them up to your chest and hug them.

He stares at you for a moment.

“You okay. You’ve been very quiet today. More than normal,” he says, a concerned look in his eye

After he asks, it’s like something triggered in you and tears start forming in your eyes.

You look at him and give him a small shrug.

When he notices your tears, he wants to freak out because he didn’t mean to make you cry, but he pulls himself together.

“Come ‘ere little one,” he says, pulling you into his arms

He caresses the back of your head and rubs your back.

“That’s it. Just let it out darlin. You’re okay. You’re safe with me.”

He allows you to cry on his shoulder and into his chest, no matter how wet you’re making his shirt.

“Thanks Vulcan,” you say when you feel like you’ve cried enough

“Sorry about your shirt,” you say, wiping away your remaining tears

He lets out a small laugh.

“It’s okay, I have others like it and besides, it’s just water. It’ll dry,” he says with a small smile

You yawn because you’re exhausted from all the crying you just did.

You lay your head back on Vulcan’s shoulder.

He starts to massage your temple with his thumb in small circles.

You start drifting off to sleep and he feels your body start to get heavier.

He adjusts you so that he can get you in his arms to carry you bridal style to your room. When he finally gets you up, you stir a bit in your sleep.

“It’s alright, darlin. I got you,” he whispers

When you both make it to your room, he softly shakes you.

“We’re here. I’m gonna put you down for one second,” he says

You nod sleepily and he lets you down gently. Holding you up, so you don’t fall.

He opens your door and lifts you up again. Once he makes it to your bed, he sets you down and gets one of your extra blankets. He didn’t want to move you too much since you were tired.

After he tucks you in, he kisses your forehead and whispers.

“Everything will be okay, darlin’. ”

He rubs your forehead with his thumb and turns to walk out.

You sleepily grab hold of his index and middle finger.

“Please…stay,” you say

A small smile graces his face

“Alright little one. I’ll stay for a little bit. Only till you fall asleep,” he says

He takes a seat on the floor and rubs small circles on your hand, calming you further and causing you to drift off into a deep sleep.

Letting out a soft sigh you go through any notifications that you have on your phone before setting it back down and rolling over. Your eyes glued to the red headed male in bed next to you. He’s all bundled up in blankets around his head and sleeping on his side, facing you. 

You can’t help the smile that crosses your lips. But as if he could feel you looking at him- or sensing you were already awake- Vulcan’s arm moves under the covers. His eyes slowly open to see you already staring at him with your own still sleepy face.

“Stop that” he mutters to you, only making you grin from ear to ear.

“But-” you whisper as you scooch closer to his body. Your hand slowly coming up and cupping his exposed cheek. “-you’re so cute~” Giggling softly at him, you lean in and kiss his lips.

Feeling him kiss you back, be it lightly, made you smile against his lips before you pulled away. “And I believe...It’s a certain cutie's birthday.”

Rubbing the sleep away from his eyes now, you heard scoff from Vulcan. “Oh yeah? I wonder who that might be?” he asks, finally moving his hands from his eyes and looking at you again. 

“Well they have red hair, some tattoos and they’re pretty awesome.” Moving your hand away from his cheek, it finds his own hand as you lace your fingers with his. “And it’s also you.” 

Even just waking up, a playfully shocked expression landed on Vulcan’s face. “No way. It’s my birthday??” his voice fluctuated just a tad as he was playing like he didn’t know it.

Chuckling lightly, you roll your eyes at him. “Happy Birthday Vulcan~” you coo to him just before pressing your lips to his once more.

Usually not into kissing in the morning, due to morning breath. Today seemed to be an exception. You soon felt his hand lay lightly on your cheek. His fingertips slipping into your hair and pulling you more against him.

It was always breathtaking when he kissed you like this. No matter how long you guys have been together. The way he kisses you always makes your mind go blank and your heart flutter like the first time all over again. 

A few seconds passed by, you felt Vulcan pull away just a bit before speaking against your lips. “Thank you.” His palm leaving your cheek but his fingers running through your hair. A motion he kept doing while the two of you stared at each other for a moment. 

“I think we should go drink some coffee and then I can give you one of your presents~” you whispered to him, slowly leaning in again just to nuzzle your nose against his own.

“I like the sound of that.” Vulcan smiles and fleetingly kisses you one more time before ripping out of bed. 

Getting everything ready to get the coffee going, you hear Vulcan coming down the hall and soon opening the refrigerator door. Grabbing out the milk and creamer, he sets them on the counter next to where you’re standing. You soon feel him behind you. His hands move to your hips and his lips press against the back of your head. “How did I get so lucky to have you on my birthday?”

You gave him a soft scoff as you watched the pot fill up with coffee. “Well I guess you’re kinda funny- so I stick around for that.” your voice sounds serious but there was an underlying playfulness to it that Vulcan clearly heard.

“Damn right I’m funny. I’m the funniest guy out there and you can’t convince me otherwise.” 

Pouring the coffee into the two mugs that were in front of you, you shake your head, “Alright alright heh calm down big guy.” a smile plastered on your face, you slip Vulcan’s coffee mug over so he could put how much milk he wanted into it.

Once the both of you had your coffee, you looked over at Vulcan. “Do you want your present now? Or later?” 

He took a moment to think about it. But it didn’t take long for him to answer you. “Hm I think I might want it now...” you could tell he was beyond curious what you got him. So that’s just what you did. 

“Alright wait here, okay. Or well- I guess you could wait on the couch.” you chuckled and then made your way back to your room. Getting into the closet, you reach down and pick up the slightly heavy box that was nicely wrapped. Soon walking back out and seeing that Vulcan decided to go to the living room to wait.

When he saw you coming closer, and how big the box was, his eyebrow rose just slightly. “What in the-”

Sitting down on the couch next to him, you pass over his gift to him while you chew your lip a little. You hoped he’d like what you got him. 

When he finally took the box in his own hands, a sound of surprise left his lips. “This is a lot heavier than it looks. Hm- what is this?”

“Only one way to find out. C’mon open it!” you gasp out and then see that Vulcan brought your coffee over when he sat down. So you grabbed your mug and sipped your coffee while you watched him carefully unwrap his gift. 

The moment he saw what was in the box, under the see-through plastic front of the box, you could have sworn you saw sparkles in his eyes. 

“Are these-”

“Engraved tools...? Yes. Yes they are.” 

“How did you even- I-” Found speechless now, all Vulcan could do was stare ate the tools that were in his hand.

Beyond happy that this was his reaction to your gift, you smile wide and set your mug down. Quickly wrapping your arms around Vulcan and squeezing him. Honestly you thought he might cry with the way he was acting. But he ended up setting the box down and looking at you. Just to take your face in his hands and kiss you deeply. Appreciative of his gift that’s for sure.

You can’t help but let out a small chuckle through the kiss as you lean into him. 

“Thank you. I love it so much.” he whispers against your lips. 

“You’re welcome love. It took me a while to find something like that and have them be of good quality too.” you admitted. It was a process finding those, you weren’t going to lie. “But you should open it up and look at them all.” 

Curiously he looked at you. Clearly he could see all the tools in the box just from looking at the front of it. Was there something he was missing? Something extra in this box?

“C’mon just look at them a little closer.” you nudge him playfully, just trying to get him to open up the box.

Hesitantly, Vulcan does so. Carefully opening the box and taking out the tools one by one. With a closer look you could see the detailed engraving in the handles of the tools.

Vulcan Joseph - was engraved on all the tools. But as he continued to take each tool out, he noticed that there was one wrench in particular that said something else... Mini me.

Vulcan's actions immediately stopped and his eyes darted up to you. With your bottom lip between your teeth you wait for him to say something.

“Are you-?” 

A slight nod of your head was all Vulcan needed to see before he set the wrench down. Making sure nothing was in the way of him getting up, so he could get up quickly just to pull you up into his arms and hug you tightly.

“Are you sure? Have you gone to the doctor yet? Why didn’t you tell me when it happened??” a slough of questions left his lips but all you could do was look up at him with a happy smile and watery eyes.

“I wanted to surprise you with it. With us trying for a while now, I wanted to make sure. I went to the doctors last week and well...yeah there’s a lil bean in there.”

Immediately his lips crashed to yours. Kissing you with so much love and power, if he wasn’t holding you, you’d surely fall backwards.

“We’re gonna be parents then?? God this is amazing!” Beyond ecstatic, Vulcan hugs you tight to him once again and takes in a couple breaths. “I can’t wait to tell everyone-” A slight pause and, “They’re going to have the most beautiful mother you know.” His eyes looking right at you with that loving grin of his. 

“Heh I don’t know about that. But their father is pretty handsome.” unable to take the smile from your face, you glance up at Vulcan.

“Oh stop it.” he winks at you before continuing, “No matter what, this baby is going to have the best life on this earth. I- we will make sure of it!” 

“Think they’ll like their wrench when the time comes?” you ask curiously as you look back at the tools.

Vulcan didn’t answer right away. You noticed that he was looking at the tools too. The wrench in particular. “They might. If they’re anything like me and wanna take after me, they’ll love it. But I can also see them loving to just carry it around. Maybe swing it around a bit.” Vulcan chuckles and then looks back at you.

“Oh jeez. Leave it to our kid to have a wrench as their special thing. Not a teddy bear or a blanket. Oh no it’s gonna be a wrench.” 

The both of you bust up laughing for a good five minutes. Thinking about your growing child now and not having a worry in the world at that moment. 

“Alright. I say we enjoy our coffee and then do whatever you wanna do the rest of the day. What do you think?” you asked curiously.

“I think that sounds amazing.” this time he was quick to answer. Moving his hand to lightly grip under your chin. Kissing you once more before pulling away and picking up all the tools. The wrench, not going back in the box for later, when Vulcan puts them away in his shop.

But rather, the wrench finds a place on the mantel. Where it will stay until your child is old enough to understand the concept of tools. To carry it around. To maybe eventually use it. But for now it was there to remind you of the joy you were carrying. And the bundle that in around nine months both you and Vulcan will be able to hold and cherish. Loving until the end of time.
