Day 27 - “Can you wait for me?” - Vorik x Modern!OC

“Can you, um, wait for me? Is that okay?” I ask, somewhat hesitantly. I’m never quite sure how he will react. This is all so new.

My Vulcan tutor turns dark eyes on me and is quiet for a whole heartbeat. It makes me more nervous than I can say, being scrutinized under his gaze. I still can’t tell why.

Did I break some unspoken rule just now? Was this offensive? My question could have been implying that his time was worthless to me. Does he think I am rude?

Why do I care so much?

Finally, he nods. “I will wait, if that is what you require.”

Tight anxiety blossomed into relief in my chest, touching my face in the shape of a small smile, a breathless laugh. “Thanks, Vorik,” I say quietly. “I really appreciate it.” But there is something I have to do before our lesson, I finish in my mind. Out loud, I add, “I’ll be along soon. I won’t make you wait long. Promise.”

“I should hope not.”

With a quick nod, I take off down the corridor in the opposite direction of the Mess. With any luck, I can fix a thing or two and start setting my ugly mess straight.
