"I'd trust you with my life, Nyota," he said lightly in response and he meant it with all his being. Sure, it was unsettling that John was so into her, but he knew that she would put him off if she had to. Besides, Uhura had really been 100% honest with him from the very beginning of their relationship and that was something he respected greatly. If she told him that everything was going to be alright, he was certain it would be so.
McCoy's face dropped into a frown and his eyes gleamed with concern almost immediately as she explained that she'd been having trouble sleeping when he wasn't around. He sifted a gentle hand through her hair as he tried to catch her gaze. "Darlin', what's bothering you about it?" He paused before continuing. "I can't sleep well without you either, you know. Maybe it's just because we're so used to the comfort of being near one another that being apart is difficult?" He was trying to rationalize it for her, hoping maybe he could help. "And if you're having trouble sleeping.. I'll switch shifts with M'Benga on Fridays and Wednesdays so I don't work any gamma shifts, okay? Would that help?"
