T’Pel and Tuvok as kiddos...T’Pel dressed herself but Tuvok’s clothes were picked out by his parents and it shows.
#girls who get mistaken for boys v boys who get mistaken for girls - unbreakable bond#not by Vulcans but by like humans and other aliens v_v#T'Pel has a snake in her portable terarium thing bc it looked sick and she wants to nurse it to health#they didn't know each other back then but I'm imagining T'Pel trying to show Tuvok a snake and Tuvok trying not to scream#Tuvok hides behind his dad a lot as a small kid....father pleaseplease don't let her get me (T'Pel is racing at him full of determination)#Tuvok's dad looking at T'Pel like ohmygod...whose child /is/ this?????#T'Pel's parents thinks that if T'Pel is old enough to dress herself she's old enough to chose what she wears#Tuvok's parents think Tuvok should look presentable (and that he's adorable all dressed up)#I think when they're actually married T'Pel is sure Tuvok thinks she looks rather plain (she doesn't feel any particular way about this -#it's just a fact that she dresses and looks much plainer than people from the city his family's from)#plus Tuvok's mother is constantly gifting her new clothing in a gesture that teeters SO carefully between generous and insulting#(T'Pel donates these)#and Tuvok doesn't look at her for very long...always averting his eyes (which annoys her)#so one day she says something like she knows she's plain but she doesn't think she's so awful to look at that she repels his eye#and Tuvok is confused but hurriedly says no not at all (so why do you refuse to look at me?) Tuvok looks away as she moves closer#She looks at him for awhile then sighs and moves to leave but he grabs her wrist and looks at her and she realizes from his expression and#through their bond that it's just the opposite...it's because he finds her so beautiful that he can't look at her for long...it stirs up too#much emotion in him...he likes her a /lot/ and that's EMBARRASSING#She thanks him for his honestly and then rushes off and they're both so flustered by the encounter that they avoid each other for a few days#but T'Pel is.....quite pleased <3#Tuvok is screaming at himself though#bea art tag#Tuvok art#T'Pel art#st voyager art
