a/n: set in corporate AU. 

You slammed the phone on your desk back into its cradle. The asshole you'd had an off and on relationship with for the past year decided to break things off for good. A week before your sister's wedding. Now what were you going to do? If you showed up without a date, you'd never hear the end of it from your family. 

Voices in the hall outside your door drew your attention and you looked up to see your boss Jim Kirk walking by with the corporate attorney, Spock. Both men gave you a smile and a nod of their head as they saw you glance at them. Your eyes lingered on Spock, wondering what he was doing next Friday night. 

Later that afternoon, you were heading to Kirk's office when you spotted him and Spock in one of the conference rooms, papers spread across the table in front of them. You backed up to the door and leaned on the frame. "You two have had your heads together all day. Something I can help with?" you asked.

Kirk looked up in surprise before smiling while Spock merely glanced in your direction before turning back to the paper in his hand. "We're trying to make sure everything is line for the acquisition of those 120 acres. I don't want any surprises." He paused for a moment. "Do you think you and Uhura could take a look at those environmental reports one more time?"

You smiled. "I already did. I was on my way to bring them to your office when I saw you in here." You handed him the thick bundle of papers. "Everything looks good. We've got those 10 acres that will need to be set aside but you already knew about that."

He nodded and smiled at you again. "Perfect. Thank you Y/N, I don't know what we'd do without you always being one step ahead."

Spock arched a brow. "I suppose we'd always be a step behind then."

Your lips twitched. For the most part Spock was very straight-laced and serious but occasionally he let another side peek through, always to your amusement. "Actually I had a favor to ask of you, Spock."

A look of surprise flashed briefly over his face before he nodded for you to continue.

"My sister is getting married next Friday. I've already told my entire family I'm bringing a date only to have him cancel on me. I was hoping you'd accompany me." You did your best to act like his answer didn't matter to you one way or another. And it shouldn't, you had other people you could ask, but you wanted to go with Spock.

"I'm available next Friday," Kirk said with a smirk. 

You huffed a laugh. "No thank you, Jim. We tried that once if you remember. I don't care to repeat the experience. Besides, my brother hates you."

He frowned. "Hate's a strong word."

"You hit on his wife while you were on a date with me. He hates you."

"I would be pleased to accompany you," Spock said interrupting the two of you. "And I consider it an honor, not a favor."

Your cheeks heated and you glanced at the floor before looking back at him. "The venue is not far from here and I need to be there at six so I was just going to get ready and leave from here if that's okay."

He nodded. "I will do the same. We can take my car and I'll bring you back to yours later."

"Sounds perfect." You gave him one more warm smile before returning to your office.

It was a week later and you were in your office getting ready for your sister's wedding. You were one of the bridesmaids and while you'd had the dress on before for fittings, it still blew your mind every time you slipped it on. You and your sister were complete opposites when it came to fashion. You preferred pant suits and jeans while she wore designer dresses. That difference had never been more apparent than with this dress. At least it was more comfortable than it looked. 

Your sister had given you a crystal clip to wear in the side of your hair, but otherwise she wanted it natural. You finished your makeup, grabbed your small wallet and your lip gloss. Spock had told you he'd meet you in the lobby so you headed toward the stairs. Fortunately it was Friday so pretty much everyone had left. 

You groaned as you started down the stairs and caught sight of several of your co-workers waiting in the lobby. Your eyes ran over Spock as he stood talking to Kirk. He wore a different suit than what you were used to seeing on him, but he looked good. 

"Holy shit!" 

The exclamation drew your attention to Kirk who stood gaping up at you. Everyone else turned to follow his gaze and your friends' mouths dropped open. You gave them a little wave. "Hello. I wasn't expecting anyone but Spock to still be here."

"I wanted to see you in your dress and they just hung around with me," Nyota Uhura said, her hands covering her mouth as she took in your appearance. "You look amazing."

Scott, Sulu, and Chekov all chimed in with words of agreement. Your face heated as you gave them a smile. "Thank you."

You turned to your date for the evening to find him still looking a little stunned. "Could you slip these in a pocket for me?" you asked, handing over your items. He opened his jacket and dropped everything into an inside pocket. 

He held out a hand which you gratefully took. "We should go," he said. "We don't want you to be late."

"Bye," you said to everyone as he led you out of the building to a sleek car parked along the curb. It was your turn to stop and gape. "Is this your car?"

"I certainly hope so," he said as he opened the door for you. You settled in your seat feeling like you had entered a space ship. He helped scoop your dress inside then shut the door. 

"This car is amazing," you told him as he got in on the other side. 

"And you are stunning," he replied without looking at you as he pulled out into traffic.

You beamed at him and put your hand on his thigh. He took the opportunity to lace his fingers with yours.

It was finally time for the reception and you found Spock waiting for you as you walked into the room. He looped an arm around your waist before leaning down to speak in your ear. "Your sister made the wrong decision picking that dress for you."

You stomach  dropped. You thought he'd liked the dress.

"I couldn't keep my eyes off you," he finished, instantly making you feel better. "I'm not sure I even know what she looks like."

You laughed. "She's the one in black." Yes, your sister had worn black and put her attendants in white and silver. 

"Oh, yeah. That one." He smirked. He pressed a soft kiss to the side of your head. 

You turned to face him fully and used a hand on his cheek to keep his head turned in your direction. "You missed," you said before leaning forward and pressing your lips to his. 

He didn't hesitate to return the gesture. 

For the rest of the evening, you two couldn't keep your hands off each other. No matter what you were doing, you were always touching. Holding hands, arms wrapped around each other or just a hand on a thigh. Neither of you were shy with the kisses either. 

That affection lasted throughout the weekend and it was late Sunday before Spock took you back to the garage to get your car. Even then he followed you home. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
