[ they still have their duties, and having a romance across timelines doesn't change the fact that spock views his duties in an extremely serious way. somehow it's easier being the same.
'opposites attract' is a colloquialism he's familiar with, and he finds it true in many ways. but their mutual devotion to starfleet and the work they do means they understand each other in that way. spock doesn't have to worry that he's missing every milestone or like jim will feel as though spock is abandoning him.
spock has spoken with t'pring, apologized for everything that happened. she's happy with her new partner—or, what seems to be the beginning of finding her appropriate match. he's made his peace with what happened between himself and christine in the aftermath, and she's happy with doctor korby.
things have worked out, he realizes all at once, and the thought along with jim's words makes him smile a little wider than normal, has him tilting his head slightly as he regards the man before him.
spock loves him. that's both terrifying and exhilarating. he inhales slowly, and huffs out what might almost be a laugh. ]
His behavior was deeply inappropriate. It was unfortunate that such a display was necessary, but I do not regret my response.
[ he takes a step closer than they already are, pressing a soft kiss to the older man's mouth. ]
I would like to spend my time with you. There is a scientist in attendance whose work you may find particularly interesting. I was attempting a 'surprise' in hopes you would enjoy it, but we were [ a beat ] intercepted before I was able to do so.
[Ohhhh look at Spock smile! Anyone would recognize that as a smile and as such it's positively sacrilegious to see it on Spock's face. Jim's chest feels full to bursting. He's got the flutters in his stomach like he's a kid all over again. Does he need to reevaluate how he feels about witnessing violence if Spock's the one dishing it out?
Is that what this is? Questions for later--not important. Jim needs to melt first for that laugh.]
Yeah well, fu--[Cut off from writing off the other Vulcan by Spock's softest of soft kisses. Why he gotta be so adorable right now??? It's criminal Jim has to go back out in Public with him rather than pinning the Vulcan over a desk or in his own damn bed and getting One of them fucked senseless.] Aww. That's sweet of you.
I'd love to meet them. Better late than never, right? Story of our lives?
