[Butterflies & Hurricanes] Welcome back, Miss Uhura!
He stood at the landing dock - correction: had been standing at the landing dock for well over 20 minutes anxiously pacing. Finally the light changed colors, indicating the incoming of the transport pod and he stepped back into the crowd to wait in the back. Besides, he was about to be mauled by various friends and family members of the returning crew and he'd rather be in one piece. Uhura's friends were here too, so he had to keep his distance, even though every fiber told him otherwise.
The stairs moved out and there were the cadets, looking a mix between exhaustion or star struck, descending with a pack slung over their shoulders. It didn't take but a moment for him to see her come off, and he breathed a silent breath of relief. It had been a good 3 months since he last saw her and he didn't realize how much he missed her until that very moment. Funny, now look who was becoming the sap in the relationship. Short, quick e-mails were a slow, painful way of keeping in touch.
Hands shoved in his pockets, he greeting all the cadets coming past him, and smiled warmly as Uhura came up. Again, his body cried out to wrap her into a large, smothering hug, but he bit the inside of his cheek to subdue himself. "Welcome home." He greeted as she was quickly engulfed by her own group of friends.
