AN: I've had the worst writer's block lately. I haven't been able to focus on any of my longer fics that I've been working on, and the one that I did manage to finish a chapter on, I'm nowhere near happy with. So I found myself looking through some icons I collected over the years and I wrote little snippets based on the ones that inspired me, and here we are! I must say, writing these is fun. There isn't as much pressure with them because they're so short. =) Anywho, I hope you enjoy them!
Disclaimer: Don't own it, don't want it. Star Trek has done an amazing job without me. (But if someone wants to give me Mr. Spock, who would I be to say no. =P)

"Why do you do it Jim?" McCoy asked taking a sip of his drink as he did. He stared at the young man beside him at the bar.
"Do what Bones?"
"You know damn well what I mean." The doctor said. He paused a moment, looking through the crowd. The bar was packed tonight as everyone was celebrating the end of final exams. Across the room he spotted an attractive woman dancing with her friend, an Orion.
"Take Uhura for instance." McCoy started, nodding his head in the direction of where the young communications student was dancing. "She's used every diss in the book to shoot you down and them some, but you continue to try and win her over." He stopped to take another sip of his drink, finishing it. He turned to order another one from the bartender.
"So you wanna know why I continue going after things that seem so far out of my reach? Is that right?" Kirk looked at his friend, a smirk appearing on his face. McCoy looked shock.
"Well…yeah."
The future Starfleet captain allowed the smirk on his face to grow into a grin.
"Because Bones, I'm happier living as a fool."
AN: Reviews are always appreciated. I don't feel like I really portrayed the feeling that I was trying to get across but hopefully I at least got close.
