Summary
Nyota likes the uniformity of math and the endless formations of sounds that make up languages. She likes the smell of her nephew’s hair and the burn of her muscles after her morning run. She likes the soft feeling of his knee next to hers and the knowledge of happiness his hands hold when they brush her own.
In which Nyota Uhura is autistic and meets Spock, the first person besides her sister whose touch she never minds.“When she saw him face to face their eyes met and brushed like birds’ wings. After that everything was all right, everything was wonderful, she knew that he was beginning to fall in love with her.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night
