#'I of the weaponized dimples' made me screech like a howler monkey
Note
coming into your inbox causing problems okay but whAT ABOUT THE FIRST TIME PIKE GIVES YOU THE LEATHER JACKET it's on an away mission, right and you weren't supposed to be down long, you weren't supposed to go down at all but the lieutenant who was doing a survey of alien ruins needed some additional equipment and you beam down to hand it off and then the transporter goes on the fritz right, Shenanigans of some kind are going on onboard Enterprise because Of Course They Are, so you're stuck on the planet without your away mission Team Enterprise Leather Jacket™ and I can't decide if the planet's a little chilly, like it's later in its solar year and winter's coming up and Pike notices you're chilly so he's like "here, take my jacket" and you're like "no captain, I couldn't possible" "no I insist" and well now you're wearing his Jacket and you're warm and it smells like him oh god OR
OR the transporter shenanigans have taken longer to resolve than they were supposed to, so you're looking at spending a few hours of the night planet side and well Captain Optimist is like "hey let's do a campfire and tell stories" which somehow leads to you being positioned next to Captain Dimples at the fire, Spock and Una across from you with the communications lieutenant and Christopher "I have no ulterior motive whatsoever, I of the weaponized Dimples" Pike just sort of Casually notices "oh hey you're really chilled huh, you should wear my jacket" and giVES YOU THE JACKET, helps straighten out the collar there is brief Intense Eye Contact before Una coughs and then you two sort of just jolt apart and Una's smirking, Spock's eyebrows have disappeared into his hairline and the lieutenant is studiously Not Looking
Internally, both scenarios you just kind of Error 404

Captain Optimist (Disparagingly)
Micky I love all of this so much so MUCH
I know you said the first time but my brain also jumped to the previous ask as like a precursor
Like maybe you were on the same ship for your dissertation and then you went to your separate assignments and there have been messages and the occasional space-equivalent of a FaceTime on the viewscreen
But now you're a commander and a specialist and he's a Captain You've only been brought to the Enterprise for some incredibly specific mission
And you've told yourself before boarding that you're gonna be totally professional, just in and out
And then it's cold and/or the transporter futzes up and the last time you were in his jacket, you made out on the front steps of your apartment building like teenagers And now he's straightening the collar again, just so
...i'm gonna go scream into my hands, excuse me.
