Summary: 20 words that barely scratch the surface of the love Jim and Spock feel for each other.
Rated: T...most likely...I'll find out when it's over...Yup, definitely T. Mentions of sex, slash, and Jim and McCoy swearing like sailors.
Another one of those "20 situations based on 20 random words" thanks to the Random Word Generator. This is my first one, so I'd appreciate feedback!
1. Trading
"Poor creature." Spock pushed aside the chicken that McCoy accidentally placed on his tray during lunch.
"Here, I'll trade you." Jim grabbed the piece of chicken off Spock's tray as the older man watched warily.
"For what are you trading, Captain?"
"This." Jim leaned across the table and stole a kiss from his lover while no one was watching, delighted by the green blush that this act had earned him.
2. Figure
Jim couldn't understand how he continued to gain weight when Spock barely gained an ounce. There must be something to the vegetarian thing, after all.
3. Neutral
"Dammit Spock, I'm a captain, not a doctor! How the hell was I supposed to know that plant was poisonous!"
"Perhaps you should not have eaten it in the first place."
"Bones, back me up!"
"I'd rather not take sides."
4. Collaboration
Spock was in no mood to be patient tonight. Releasing a heavy sigh, he marched over to his struggling lover, grabbed the top of his zipper, and broke it off.
"Spock, what was that?"
"Team work."
5. Staff
"Did you hear the sounds they made last night?"
"Who didn't? I honestly got no sleep last night. Stupid Jim and his stupid loud noises."
"I saw zem making out in ze corner by my room zis morning. I didn't have the heart to interrupt."
"Dammit, if that kid shows up in the Medbay with one more complaint about overly sore ass muscles-"
6. Feeding
"Captain, this is highly-"
"Don't you dare tell me this is highly illogical. Now, open up." After a sniffle and another painful cough, Spock did as he was told, opening his mouth to allow his captain to spoon-feed him veggie soup. And, though it would take pounds of chocolate to get him to admit it, he secretly loved the look of adoration in Jim's eyes when he was allowed to feed his lover.
7. Expression
Spock slammed his room door, something the Vulcan rarely did when he was under control. But he wasn't under control; he found it painfully easy to express his human emotions when faced with a natural disaster by the name of James Tiberius Kirk.
8. Waking
Spock jolted out of bed, his body shaking with fiery and sadness, his eyes burning with tears that he held in for so long. Before he had a chance to get up, run for the door like a madman, he felt strong, warm arms wrap around his waist.
"Another nightmare?" Spock leaned into the arms of his bond mate. Jim kissed the top of his head slowly and trailed a finger down his spine. "It was just a dream, sweetie. Just a dream."
9. Pound
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a sex shop! Take the lubricant and leave, before somebody sees you!"
10. Correlate
"Just because the Captain went to the science lab with Spock doesn't mean they're having sex," Sulu stated.
"Really? If ze Captain and Mister Spock do, in fact, have sex whenever they are alone, and they are alone now, ve can assume zhat ze are having sex right now."
"Hm."
11. Buffer
Spock wasn't really sure what he had just walked in on. Though his studies of human behavior were extensive, they did not explain why Jim was buffering his nails with a toothbrush.
12. Censoring
"So, last night Spock decided it was okay to Helen Keller me with a Tom Hanks against the George Foreman, so I got him back by Lance Bassing his Natalie Portman and then Britany Spearsing his-"
"Ceptin, zhat are you doing?"
"I'm inserting the names of famous people in place of naughty words to spare your innocence, Mr. Chekov."
13. Nuisance
"Captain, we cannot simply go into this mission when the math does not add up."
"My logic is sound, Spock! End of story!"
Spock shook his head, wondering who was more of a nuisance to the other at times like this.
14. Device
Jim pulled his favorite Teddy Bear out from under his pillow and curled up under his sheets, attempting to get some sleep before his next shift. It wasn't the same as having Spock in his arms, but with Spock on Vulcan II, this would have to do, for now.
15. Tidy
Jim cleaned up the entire room, wiped each surface and vacuumed until everything was spotless. That was how Spock liked it. He knew it wouldn't end their fighting, but maybe, just maybe, it would show Spock that Jim was, in fact, trying.
16. Dress
"Spock, what the hell is that?"
"Your punishment for not listening to my advice on our last mission. Put it on."
17. Analyst
"The probability of surviving this mission is less than 5.13 %, Captain. The probability of you surviving and coming back with the target individual is less than 0.79%."
"And the probability that you'll finally kiss me if I come back alive?"
"...100%, Captain."
18. Reward
Jim leaned into the kiss, his heart soaring as his first officer pressed his lips hungrily against his lover's. At times like these, Jim felt incredibly fortunate to be able to defy statistical likelihoods on a daily basis.
19. Robot
Jim was tired of dating a man who refused to show his love in public. Was it a Vulcan thing, or was it Jim? Was he not good enough to tempt the other man?
Jim just about died when Spock later kissed him in front of everyone on the bridge.
20. Request
"Marry me. Bond with me."
"Is that an order, Captain?"
"No, it's a request."
"Then I accept."
Hmm...So, I'm not really sure how I feel about these. Some I liked, some I'd rather not read, but please let me know what you thought. Let me know if you'd like to see any of these turned into one-shots. Thanks for reading!
