This is a place to celebrate all things Spock & Uhura!
Trope of the Week #20: Teasing
Do you think Spock and Nyota ever tease each other? I think Nyota would be likely to do this a lot, but Spock may not be so innocent, either. Let me know what you think!




I love that you see Nyota teasing him in the second and third movie but you know what I would love? A fic where Spock is constantly teasing her. I know he does it, in his own dry, witty way but could you imagine the jokes he would come up with?!
I often see headcanons of how Nyota kind of teases Spock when she’s playing with her necklace at the end of Beyond, and I totally agree. She could already know the real reason why he’s at the party when he could be doing something more productive, but she asks him anyways to hear him say it. And the bedroom eyes they give each other (which they do so often that I should probably make it it’s own trope honestly) I just love.
I think Spock could tease too, but he’s much more subtle about it. I have a headcanon based loosely on this fic that basically Nyota loves it when he uses creative wordplay and impeccable grammar. So sometimes when he’s speaking to her professionally, he’ll intentionally use certain words with unnecessary eloquence just to tease her. Mainly I see him doing this on the bridge, but I also like the idea of this starting right after they start dating and are trying to keep their relationship a secret to their colleagues ;)
