Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
“I assume you have some big speech to give me about being professional and logical about all this…” McCoy glanced away, puffing his cheeks before letting all the air out in one great whoosh. “…stuff.”
“Quite the opposite, Doctor.”
McCoy looked back at him, somehow even more guarded than before. “What do you mean?”
“To be blunt, I am in love with you.”
Or: Spock has developed feelings for Bones. When offered the opportunity to sleep with Bones, he takes it, thinking it will cure him of his emotions towards the man. Naturally, it doesn’t. Little does he know, Bones is already head over heels for him, too.
