[standing at the bar, yanking on the collar of this damn dress uniform]

[reeeeeeally hoping these Thraddash people don't approach me, surely there're enough interesting people around here that I can just get convivially drunk with Scotty and ZEX and Uhura]

[I can see Jim in the corner being all charming and shit, and there're a couple more being entertained by Chekov and Gaila, excellent, maybe I can get out of this formal reception with my sanity relatively intact]

[then a gravelly voice behind me says he'll buy me a drink]

[...turning]

Ah. Um. Thanks, I guess. I'm Leonard McCoy.


[he says he knows]

[You should get a medal]

[Finishing up this drink, pouring more for them both, realizing that they've fallen into a companionable silence, pretty much]

From: [personal profile] zexyandiknowit
Certainly.

[Pounds the last bit in his glass, the movement of his throat right in McCoy's eyeline, before replacing it on the bar]

Shall we?

[ZEX takes McCoy's arm and begins to steer them through the whirling bodies. Speaking low, right near McCoy's hear:]

Do you know, this was the most fun I've had at one of these in a very long time.

I am invested in the wellbeing of your ass, friend doctor.

[Also laughing]

[Thank goodness you can't see my blush-equivalent in my head tentacles]

[While still kinda laughing]

Do I? I've been told it's girlish, by human standards.

VUX do not even have the concept. It's... it's strange. But not bad?

Of course you do. Why would anyone go to a formal party without one?

[Turning the corner, then. TO THE TURBOLIFT]
