"Jimmy. You came All the way out here just to get a burger?"
Gaila's batting her eyelashes in a sickeningly sweet tease that Jim can't help but to chuckle at around his bite of food.
"No, course not. I'm gonna get some fries and a shake on my way back. Two even, bring one to Spock."
"Why not invite him out here with us then??" Gaila gestures between the two of them with a fry before she dips it in her own milkshake and pops it in her mouth. "As thrilled as I am to get some one on one bestie time he's more than welcome to join us. Even if it'd up the rumor mill in the dorms again to include me. Do you have any idea how nice it is to have people finally having someone else's bedroom affairs to talk about, but it's JUST you and your smoking hot Vulcan roomie? I'm almost jealous!"
Joking, Jim knows. Gaila wants to be seen for her skills as much as anyone in Starfleet but starting as one of the only Orions anyone's likely to have heard of let alone met, she's got quite a bit of a cultural reputation to work around.
"I mean, you're welcome I guess." Jim shakes his head this time. "I didn't ask him out here because he doesn't eat meat. Some places it's fine to bring him out to, but this place Smells like a burger joint and I'd rather not gross the guy out, you know?"
"So sweet...Love's a good look on you Jimmy~"
"Oh come on!" He rolls his eyes good naturedly. "It's just being polite."
For all of Gaila's teasing she really does want the best for Jim and his new boyfriend. She's perfectly happy to keep him company while he has his forbidden meal and glad that he lets her finish hers before he orders up the fries and shakes to go and they can start their long hike back to the dorms. The cold probably doesn't do any favors in convincing Spock to hike out this far either, she figures.
"So did you two...?"
"Yeah, we signed up for the formal dance elective. Couldn't talk Bones into it but at least Spock and I will be there with you." Jim leans over and nudges Gaila with his shoulder, grinning so wide it fills his face when she gives a squeal of delight. For as busy as their schedules are, it'll be nice to take a class that's useful, yes, but also just sounds like it could be fun. It means a lot of later nights studying since their early evenings will be spent learning event etiquette and dancing but Jim doesn't mind.
"Have a good night Gaila!" Jim calls when they finally split up to head to their separate rooms.
"Try not to get a noise complaint tonight~" She calls back with a wink. Jim flips her off and heads on down the hall toward his room.
Jim knocks to let Spock know he's back before he keys open the door. He's been trying to be better about that so he doesn't walk in on the other during his calls so often.
"Hey, I'm back and I brought treats. How'd your biochem lab go?"
TFW you accidentally get your boyfriend drunk...
