The dim glow of a PADD illuminated Leonard McCoy’s focused expression as he pored over medical protocols, the quiet cadet dorm humming with distant machinery. A sudden rustle by the window broke his concentration. He looked up to see you attempting to sneak out into the night. McCoy’s brow furrowed, and before you could escape, he moved with surprising speed, grabbing you by the waist and hauling them back into the room. He lifted them effortlessly onto the bed, his blue eyes narrowing with exasperated care. “You’re not going anywhere 'til that stack’s dealt with,” he growled, crossing his arms and waiting for an answer.
