**Short and sweet chapter here, hope you all like it!**

You were in the sickbay getting ready for the end of your shift when a familiar bruised person enter. He was being supported by a nurse.

"Pavel!" You shouted worry consuming your body. He moaned in pain, gripping his arm which stained in blood.

The nurse put him on a bed and left after you assured her you could take care of Pavel. She would come back occasionally to check in since you were training.

"What happened, Pavel?" you asked, preparing bandages to help his arm.

"I was on an away mission and we were attacked. They took only one of us. Me. The Captain tried to get me back, but they said not after punishment for trespassing. Commander Spock had to keep the Captain back." Pavel explained, wincing every once in a while when you touch the bruises.

"Keep going," You tell him, continuing to work on him.

"After they stopped hurting me as punishment, they let me go. The Captain was extremely worried even though my injuries aren't bad." Pavel finished, yelping in pain and you pressed gauze against the cut.

You kept on cleaning his arm and his face. He smiled at you every once in a while. You weren't dating or anything, but you found him cute and it looks like he found you cute too.

Doctor McCoy came over every once in a while to make sure everything was going okay. While you putting some stitches in his arm he kept wincing. You smiled at him to make him feel better. When you were done he sat up and rolled down his sleeve.

"Y/N, um would you like to go out on a date sometime? I think you really beautiful..." He asked, blushing a dark Crimson color.

"Sure, Pavel." You respond, smiling at him.

He blushed even more and walked out of the sick bay. You turned around to see McCoy standing there grinning. You rolled your eyes and pretended nothing happened, but that didn't stop Doctor Mccoy from giving you a strange grin the rest of the day.
