Thats Fucking Horrifying

that’s fucking horrifying

America now follows other countries in requiring 1year mandatory service upon turning 18, except it is working retail instead of going to war. A young teen just started his draft where he would have to man the stations on Black Friday.

Y/N’s alarm finally went off. “Okay” she told herself as she sat up and felt the sheets fall away from her body, “Time to conquer the day!” She said cheerily before beginning to stretch. or at least not let it conquer you, she thought and a frown came across her face, but only for a moment before she pushed that thought away and got out of bed. Y/N swayed into the bathroom, where she stopped to look at herself in the mirror. “Hello, gorgeous!” She falsely chirped to her reflection. Nope, still don’t believe it, but we’ll try again tomorrow, she thought with a soft sigh before moving to turn on the shower. Y/N went to her closet to grab her uniform for today while the water warmed up for her. “Computer” she called out into the room, “Play my morning mix at 65% volume, please” she requested and the soft, but happy music began to play almost instantly. 65% seemed sort of oddly specific, but it was the perfect volume, it wasn’t deafening, but she would still be able to hear it when she got under the running water. As soon as Y/N saw the steam coming from the shower she quickly stripped and tossed her pyjamas into the pale blue hamper before hopping into the shower. “A dream is a wish your heart makes…” Y/N trailed off as she squeezed lavender shampoo into her hand. She continued singing as she scrubbed the product into her scalp. Once Y/N had finished washing up, she turned off the hot water with a refreshed sigh. Her stomach growled as she reached for her towel, “Oh, dear me!” Y/N exclaimed softly and continued to hurry to dry off and get dressed. “Computer, please stop my music” Y/N asked in a bubbly tone before almost skipping out the down and down the hall to the turbo lift. “Mess deck” Y/N called out lightly when she got into the turbo lift. “Oh, hi!” Y/N greeted when Uhura stepped into the turbo lift with her. “Good morning, Y/N” Uhura said through a stifled yawn. “How are you so awake this early?” She asked, stretching as best she could in her uniform. “Easy, there was some loose nut down the hall who was screaming about a half an hour before my alarm went off, so I’ve been awake since then,” Y/N rambled on in the closest thing to an angry that Uhura had heard from her in all the time they’d been friends. “Really, I didn’t hear it, I must of been sleeping too hard” Uhura laughed it off in the hopes that the sound would lighten the admittedly fairly light mood. “Anyway” Uhura began changing the subject, “Do you have anything fun planned down in the botany lab for today?” She asked with an intent smile. “Yeah actually!” Y/N wiggled a bit as she said it, “We picked up this really pretty pink and blue flower, and when I say pink and blue I mean you have to come see it after breakfast! It’s like… Cotton candy pink and blue!” Y/N exclaimed. “And you know what’s even crazier?!?” Y/N asked rhetorically, “It smells just like cotton candy too!!” She said waving her hands for more effect. “Really?!?” Uhura asked, “Will you show me after we eat, we’ll have to be quick so I can still be on time but I need to see that!” Uhura rushed just as the turbo lift door opened up to reveal the mess deck. “Of course it’s really amazing!” Y/N agreed as they stepped out into the mess deck. “What about you, Uhura?” Y/N asked her in return, “Nothing reall, I don’t have the kind of position that you make plans for. I’m going to go up to the bridge and follow orders,” She said with a smile. Y/N and Uhura continued to chatter as they walked up to the replicators. With a dull thud, Y/N ran directly into someone’s chest. “Oh I’m sorry!” Y/N exclaimed, “Oh” she finally looked up at a rather stern looking man in medical uniform. “No, no, it takes two to tango” The man said in something that resembled an apology, but still looked rather annoyed that the interaction was taking place at all. “Oh, okay” Y/N said in quiet acceptance before skittering away without her breakfast. Uhura gave the man a short glare before following behind her.

Leonard grumbled on his way out the door. He met with Kirk on his way down the hall. Not mad at him, not mad at him, not-, “Did you really need to wake me up with that?” Leonard did his best not to sound angry, but he was failing miserably. “You don’t need to rip me to shreds so early in the day” Kirk defended himself, putting his hands up momentarily as his stride slowed to keep pace with Leonard. “Fine” He muttered, making a motion his arms that seemed to indicate him physically letting go of his anger. “Alright, good, let’s chow” Kirk encouraged and began walking faster to the mess deck. “Race you there!” Kirk shouted, leaving Leonard behind. “I am not doing that!” Leonard yelled back and kept his own pace the rest of the way up to the mess deck. I’m done with this day already, I haven’t even been into medbay, good god, he thought as he came up on the mess entryway, where Kirk was waiting for him. “Ah, you made it!” Kirk exclaimed in exaggerated relief. “Alright, so give me all the details on this rooming thing” Leonard ordered in an actually exasperated manner. “Well, what do you wanna know?” Kirk prompted, “Where is this Y/N girl’s quarters?” He asked a bit distracted, as he was trying to navigate the breakfast crowd while also side eyeing Jim. “Well I dunno, but-,” Kirk was interrupted by a thud and looked over just in time to see a timid looking science officer, flustered and apologising. “Oh, I’m sorry!” The girl was quick to amend, Jim smirked a little as he saw Leonard looking down at her a little longer than he would normally. Usually he would move past these kinds of people without further regard, and just mutter to himself angrily about how nobody paid any attention these days. Leonard did something entirely different though, “No, no, it takes two to tango,” he had stated, without any real sincerity in his tone, but the fact that he bothered to say something at all was enough for Kirk to raise an eyebrow. “Oh” the girl said in embarrassment and then scurried off as quickly as she had appeared.

“Ooh, you like her, don’t you?” Kirk jabbed as he dug an elbow into Leonard’s ribs. “No, I was just being polite to a girl who clearly wasn’t in need of more abuse” He hissed in a low tone, “And if you would keep from making your elbow too chummy with my ribs, that’d be great” Leonard gritted. Poor girl, she seemed so scared, I admit I’m not the friendliest face this early in the morning, or ever really, but she seemed… I dunno, frightened that I’d hit her or something. Leonard furrowed his brow at the thought, but was quickly pulled away by the icy look Uhura gave him. His eyes widened only a little before he returned his attention to Jim. “- and then I got hit with a phaser” Kirk explained while pulling his hand into his gut as if to demonstrate the phaser’s impact on him. “What?!?” Leonard asked in alarm, “I knew you weren’t listening to me” Jim whined as he lightly hit Leonard’s shoulder. “I was just thinkin’, tha’s all'' He responded, “Yeah” Jim snorted, “Thinking about the way that girl’s body felt against yours?” Kirk jabbed as he punched in some orders for the replicator in front of him. Admittedly that thought had briefly crossed his mind, but it was extremely brief, not worth mentioning really. “No, I was just thinking about the fact that I don’t know where this Y/N’s quarters are to be able to break the news to her that we’re rooming together” Leonard corrected in a reprimanding voice. “Ah, well, about that. I’m not actually sure” Jim paused slightly at the pointed look that he was being given by Leonard, “but,” He emphasised before continuing on, “I will check files after breakfast and get that information to you as soon as possible” Kirk explained while waiting for Leonard to get his food. “You’d better” Leonard grumbled, “You know, you should really work on speaking up or people won’t be sure if you’re talking to them or yourself,” Jim pretended to lecture, “And you should really work on not being an ass” Leonard bit back as he grabbed his tray and they went to find a place to sit. The two ate breakfast together without much in the way of real conversation, just the occasional comment on what they would be doing today. When Leonard finished his breakfast, which he knew was less than it should have been, he said goodbye to Jim and headed to the medbay to see what today’s damage was.

Y/N and Uhura sat quietly for a few moments, out of sight of the replicators. Uhura finally broke their little bubble of silence, “Are you alright? Bones can kind of be an asshole, and generally in a foul mood” She smiled, trying to encourage Y/N to do the same from within her newly acquired air of gloom. “Yeah, he just scared me,” Y/N replied in a small voice. “Look they aren’t at the replicators anymore if you still want some food” Uhura cheered, pointing in the direction of the, now mostly deserted replicators.

“Okay” Y/N smiled weakly as she stood. They walked to the replicators, where Uhura picked out some fruit and oatmeal, Y/N had picked a cookie and some fruit of her own. “Sooo,” Uhura drawled, “Did I see you blush?” She prodded with a raised eyebrow. “Yes, but I’m allowed to be embarrassed when I run into strangers” Y/N defended, “Alright,” Uhura gave in as they took their seats.

Growing on me like mold

Eating me alive
