Summary: Jim is confessing everything.

"Do you think it's wise to come to this trading outpost, Captain?" Spock asked as he looked at his Captain of the right of him as he, Spock, Scotty and Bones were inside a trading outpost looking for supplies to trade.

"We have no other choice, Spock. The next Starbase that we're going to is three days away. The supplies that we have are going to run low and it will last until tomorrow," Jim explained.

"I do not like this trading outpost at all, Captain. The people here act like they're drunk or something," Scotty said.

"That's because they're drunk. This trading outpost is famous for its drinks," Bones said.

"Is that a hint, Bones?" Jim asked smirking as he looked at him.

"What? I wouldn't even think of drinking in a place like this, Jim!" Bones exclaimed.

Jim didn't say anything as the others followed him.

"Jim, you better not lead us anywhere to the bar," Bones threatened.

"Lighten up, Bones! The last time I drank was during that negotiation treaty and that was three months ago!" Jim explained.

"Spock, are you just going to let him do what his doing?" Bones asked.

"If I may Captain, the ship needs preparing and if we get attack without us being there…" Spock began.

"Then it is my responsibility," Jim finished, "I'm sure you want to try out their drinks too, Spock. You have to try new things, you know," he said with a smile.

Spock glared at his back as he didn't say anything else. The half-Vulcan, half-human had been in love with Jim for about a month now. The only thing that he didn't know that Jim was also in love with him but much longer then Spock was in love with him.

Jim had been in love with him ever since he first saw he and Nyota kiss each other inside the Turbolift Room and he had been quite jealous right after that. The only person who knew the truth about Jim's feelings was Bones and as for Spock, Nyota knew the truth as well and Spock ending their relationship right after the Nero incident.

"I see new faces! You're not around here, are you? I can tell by your uniforms," the bartender said as the group approached the bar.

"We're just visiting the place and looking for some supplies," Jim answered as the group sat on the stools.

"Well, why don't I give you free drinks? First time customers always get free drinks," the bartender said as he looked at a man who was sitting nearby them.

"Is something wrong, bartender?" Spock asked.

"Huh? Oh no, I was just looking at someone," the bartender said quickly as he fixed up their drinks.

However, Spock stopped him for a moment. "I do not want alcoholic beverage at this time. Water would be fine," he said as the bartender stared at him momentarily.

"Vulcan's," the bartender muttered, "they're a pleasure to be with," he said as Spock glared at him. The bartender gave the drinks to Scotty, Bones, Spock, and Jim. "Bottoms up," he said as he drank with them with the drink he had given to Spock.

The bartender finished drinking and he had a glint in his eyes as he watched Jim drink his beverage. Spock, Scotty, and Bones were unaware of his eagerness as Scotty and Bones were still drinking and Spock was looking around the bar with interest.

"Well, that was good," Jim finished as he licked his lips.

The bartender raised his eyebrow at him as he looked over at the man next to them. The man also stared back at him, "Bartender, another one," the man said.

"Yes sir," the bartender said quickly filling him up another one.

"Captain, I believe we wasted enough time here. We better get our supplies and head back to the ship," Spock said.

"If I may, I could help you with your supplies. I know this trading outpost by the back of my hand," the man said next to them.

Jim looked at Spock who stared right back at him. Jim shrugged, "The supplies may be hard to get," Jim warned as he gave the man the Datapad.

"Don't worry, I have a few friends in high places," the man said.

Spock was about to retort something back about his meaning but Jim caught him and shook his head. "I'll explain later," he added and Spock nodded in agreement.

"I was getting worried out there. Did you found everything that you needed?" Nyota asked as she hugged Spock.

Spock was about to say something but Jim interrupted him. "We found everything that we needed but seriously Uhura, you could stop with the hugging," Jim said as his eyes were wide.

"Jim, what are you talking about?" Nyota asked as she knew that Jim, and Scotty still think that the two of them were in a relationship even though they weren't.

"Oh please, like you don't know! You and Spock aren't in a relationship anymore! The two of you broke up. I could see the truth in your eyes," Jim said.

"Jim, I think that is enough," Spock said.

"And you!" Jim began frustrated, "every time I see you, I get the urge to hold you but I can't! Knowing the fact that you may reject me!" he said.

The occupants in the room were staring at Jim with their eyes wide.

"I think it's best for you to go to sickbay, Jim. I'm sure Dr. McCoy would find out what's wrong," Spock said.

Jim snorted, "The one thing that's wrong with me is actually having feelings for you ever since the Nero incident," he said and with that statement, he left the Turbolift Room and headed to sickbay.

"What the hell is wrong with him?" Nyota asked as she looked at Spock.

"I believe that Jim is under the impression of confessing the truth," Spock said as he looked at Scotty. "Repair engineering," he said as Scotty nodded, "Lt. Uhura and I are going back to the trading post. I have a 'hunch' that whatever is affecting the Captain is back down there," he said.

"I can't find anything wrong with you, Jim. You're normal as a horse," Bones said as he finished scanning him.

"I don't say it often Bones, but I appreciate everything that you do here," Jim said as he swore.

Bones laughed, "That doesn't sound like the Jim that I know, but thanks anyway. I guess whoever did this to you is letting you spill the truth out, huh?" He said.

"You have no idea," Jim muttered as he told Bones everything what happened in the Turbolift.

"Holy… Does that mean that computerized goblin knows everything?" Bones asked.

"Bones, you're relieved of duty," Jim said as he stared at his best friend with hard eyes.

"W-What?" Bones asked surprised as he stared at Jim as if he had grown a second head.

"Don't make fun of Spock while I'm around. I do not want to see your face and thus, you're relieved of duty," Jim said.

"Fine," Bones snapped as he called for Nurse Chapel, "I'm relieved of duty for the time being, take over for me until I could get back to work," Bones said as he gave her the hypo.

"Sir?" Nurse Chapel asked confused.

"And a word of advice Jim, I suggest you hand the ship over to Spock for the time being. I don't think it would do you any good for you to be on the bridge," Bones said and with that, he left sickbay.

"Captain Kirk to Cmdr. Spock," Jim said through his communicator.

"Spock here," Spock's voice said over to the communicator.

"You're taking over the ship for the time being, Cmdr. The Doctor has relieved me of duty and I have relieved him of his," Jim said.

"Sir, Lt. Uhura and I are down at the trading post. Ensign Sulu should take over the bridge for the time being," Spock said.

"Is everything alright down there?" Jim asked worriedly.

"Yes sir, I'm just in a complex situation right at the moment," Spock replied.

A scream was heard in the background. "Hey you, get this bitch away from me! I told you everything that I know of him about the Truth Serum!" The voice exclaimed and another scream was heard.

"Tell Lt. Uhura not to overdo it," Jim said.

"Yes sir," Spock said and with that, they ended their transmission.

A door chime and the door opened revealing Spock as he entered the Captain's quarters later that evening. The Enterprise was due to leave the trading post at 2100 and it was now 2000 hours. "Sir, everything is in place and the repairs to Engineering are fixed on schedule," Spock said as he was standing in front of the desk while Jim sat in front of him.

"Tell Scotty he did a damn good job," Jim said with a smile.

"Also, I have reinstated Dr. McCoy back on duty and am in sickbay right at the moment. I will be at the bridge momentarily when I'm done here," Spock said.

There was silence between the two before Jim spoke up. "What about the antidote for the Truth Serum?" Jim asked slowly.

"The man who was responsible has left the trading post right after we all left. The outcome for this serum as the bartender told us will last for two days straight. The man who's responsible knew that we were from Starfleet and he was angered by Starfleet as one of the vessels from the Federation destroyed the vessel that his family was in. He had gotten word that a Federation Starship was coming to the trading post and thus made his plan into action," Spock explained.

"Do we know what species he is?" Jim asked.

Spock fidgeted nervously at the moment, "8472," he said worriedly, "a dangerous species that the Federation would encounter more later on. It is a species that could change their form and look like anything they want. Species 8472 should be in the Delta Quadrant, but due to a wormhole, some of them are here, inside the Alpha Quadrant," he explained.

"We aren't in war with them, are we?" Jim asked.

"Not that I know of," Spock said, "I better be on the bridge," he said as he turned.

"Spock, wait," Jim said as Spock stayed where he was. "Why don't we have breakfast tomorrow in the mess hall?" Jim asked.

Spock turned to look at him, "Breakfast tomorrow sounds splendid. Then we could speak with each other about the confession that you made in the Turbolift," he said.

That made Jim blush, "O-Of course," he stammered.

Spock gave him a rare smile. "Have some rest Captain and I shall see you tomorrow," he said.

"Good night," Jim added and Spock acknowledges him with a nod and left his quarters. Jim smiled to himself; he guessed having a Truth Serum on him isn't bad at all. Starting a new relationship with his first officer, Spock would be a first and that tomorrow would hurry up and get here.

End.
