HOPE YOU ENJOY IT

Spock and Amanda are visiting her brother Thomas in Iowa for a week. They are visiting there because Sarek has gone off planet on a week-long diplomatic mission to mars. And Amanda didn't want to be cooped up in the Vulcan heat, when she had the chance to visit her beloved brother on earth. He had often written to her inviting her but she never had the opportunity as there was always something to stick around for. She had finally freed up enough time to have a week with her brother and she and Spock would visit earth together, which they hadn't done since Spock was 6 years old; 12 long years had passed since she had seen her family in their natural surroundings. Some relatives had visited her on Vulcan over this time, but she often found they couldn't cope with the conditions of the planet, which were very hot and dry, so had left soon after.

She and Thomas were walking down the street from his house a short way away from their destination. Amanda refused to tell Spock where they were going as she wanted to surprise him. Spock complained, of course that it was illogical to surprise people, as they may not like the surprise.

To this Amanda replied:

"Oh Spock loosen up baby! Surprises are fun, and you will like it I promise"

From that moment on she was walking awkwardly behind Spock with her hands over his eyes, Thomas making sure they were walking in the right direction and not stumbling because of their precarious walking.

Moments later they found themselves standing outside the building, its signs and lights glowing against the darkening night sky. It was 7:00pm and the stars were just starting to peak out behind the clouds.

Spock could hear Amanda giggling excitedly behind him, as a small amount of worry stirred in his abdomen.

She removed her cold fingers from his eyelids to reveal their location. Spock read the sign and frowned.

'Iowa roller-skating rink'

"Roller…skating? Does this involve putting shoes with wheels on my feet mother?"

Spock asked, remembering his mother telling him about how she and Thomas always used to go skating at roller-rinks when they were teenagers.

"yes spock it does…you will love it, I know you will, you just need to get the hang of it, don't worry son, just stay at the edge if you can't skate."

The dark-haired woman answered, wrapping an arm round spock's shoulder and squeezing slightly. Spock nodded and told himself that, as illogical as strapping wheels to your feet might seem, it was making his mother happy and he would persevere for this very reason.

They got their skates, handed over their shoes and headed to the rink; Amanda smiled in anticipation as Thomas took her hand and the stepped onto the rink.

She flashed spock an encouraging smile as she and her brother skated off, leaving spock to tremble around the edge, worried that he will fall down, he clings to the edges like a young child, watching the accomplished skaters whizz past him

Meanwhile two boys, a few years apart, had just ascended onto the rink. Their mother was busy at home working on star fleet assignments and reports, so she told them to go out and have some fun. She didn't need to tell them where to go as she already knew their destination; the battered old ice rink that had been there for years, it was her sons' favourite place to go in Iowa, besides the bars and clubs of course. So the 17 year old Jim Kirk and his older brother Sam Kirk, aged 22, were happily skating around the rink when the Vulcan and his two human family members were entering at the edge.

Jim was a natural skater, as he was friends with one of the guys who worked at the rink so he constantly hung out there, helping his friend clean it after work sometimes.

Spock was less of a natural. He watched as a blonde boy about his age raced past him laughing boisterously as he chased an older boy; he was swinging his arms to grab him. The older boy eventually skated off after a red-headed girl who was standing a few feet away. The blonde boy was unperturbed by being left alone and carried on skating slowly around, smiling charismatically at the other skaters, his blue eyes glittered.

Spock, spurned on by the confident blonde teen, decided to move from the edge and skate without support… it turned out this was not a good idea, as he lost his footing and his knees buckled, he started to fall to the ground when the blonde boy he had been watching appeared behind him and caught him.

"Hey there, are you alright? Don't worry, I've got you"

Jim said, smiling as he held the Vulcan up by his elbows, dragging him backwards so he was steady on the skates.

"Thank you for your assistance; I placed too much confidence in my skating skills"

Spock replied, his hands were shaking and his stature was unsteady and cautious.

"Don't worry about it, lucky I was here to catch you or you might be on the floor right now huh?"

Jim replied, placing a hand on the older guy's back tentatively.

"You seem to be rather skilled at skating"

Spock replied, blushing at his inability and over-confidence, which lead to him embarrassing himself on the rink.

"I'm only any good because I come her like every night with my friend, I used to be falling everywhere, and I was on the floor on my back more than I was upright at first"

Jim said, sensing the other guy's shame at being inexperienced.

"Oh, really? It looks to me as if you are a natural"

Spock replied, secretly happy that he was not the only one who was unsteady on his skates. He could feel the human's hands still on his elbow and back. This didn't trouble him as much as he thought it would. Perhaps his half-human side was showing through?

"oh hell yeah, I may be a natural now but that's only through years and years of practice, even I end up on my ass every now and then…normally because I'm chasing Sam around, but still"

Jim replied, guiding Spock gently out of the way of two skaters who tore past them.

"What is your name?"

Spock asked, looking into the cerulean eyes of the stranger who has saved him from his distress.

"Jim, Jim kirk, what's yours?"

The boy replied, leaning against the edge of the rink with one elbow, whilst keeping his hand on Spock's back.

"Spock. I am here with my mother and my uncle; we are visiting him on earth for a week whilst my father is off-planet"

Spock supplied, confused by how easy it was to talk to the human before him

"Oh right cool, what planet do you call home then, Spock?"

Jim asked, turning to face the Vulcan and crossing his ankles elegantly.

"Vulcan is my home planet; my father is from there and my mother is from earth"

Spock answered, cautiously reading the reaction from Jim, he often got a negative reaction from people who thought that mixing of cultures and species was not a positive thing. He had been called 'half-breed scum' by many an alien or human in his time.

The human however smiled at his response and nodded.

"Oh awesome, that's the reason for the pointed ears and slanted eyebrows then?"

Jim replied, looking at said ears and smiling again.

"Indeed, you are very observant Jim. Who are you here with?"

Spock asked, looking around the rink for his mother and uncle, and then back to the blonde.

"I'm here with my brother Sam."

He said, pointing across the rink to an older boy with sandy hair, who was skating around, holding hands with a pretty, ginger-haired girl.

"So you can't really skate, and I can…what do you say to me teaching you to skate a little bit? If you don't wanna I totally understand, I mean you might find it a bit patronising or-"

Jim proposed, but Spock interrupted him before he could say anything else:

"I believe that would be acceptable, thank you."

"Awesome! Lets get started then Spock."

Jim said, moving away from the edge of the rink and looking into Spock's dark eyes, smiling encouragingly.

"So, first things first, you gotta learn how to walk in the skates."

Jim said, watching Spock's feet as he cautiously moved from the edge, then he slipped forward, Jim skidded towards him and held onto the Vulcan's sides as he nearly fell backwards again.

He lightly pushed Spock back to the edge, making sure he didn't fall over.

"Alright, maybe you should watch me first, ok?"

Jim asked, as Spock settled himself against the edge and caught his balance once more.

"Yes Jim, I believe that would be wise."

Spock replied, voice a little shaky as he gripped the edge tightly.

"Hey, don't worry about it, everyone's worried when they first skate, just watch ok?"

Jim said, patting Spock lightly on the shoulder before moving, he put one skate in front of the other slowly, not wobbling or slipping as Spock had done. He walked a few steps in this way, turned and walked back to Spock.

"See, that is all you have to do, it's like walking just with wheels under your feet…do you think you can try that for me?"

Jim asked, trying not to sound patronising.

"I believe I can do that, yes."

Spock answered, insecurity plaguing his words.

"How about I walk beside you so that if you slip, I'll be ready to stop you falling?"

Jim asked, smiling at the Vulcan.

"That would be a wise decision, I am likely to slip as I have already demonstrated, and I would be reassured if you were to do so, thank you."

Spock replied, looking sideways at the blonde boy next to him.

"Sure thing Spock, so come away from the edge and just put one foot in front of the other, but don't lift you feet off the ground, roll them with the wheels, yeah?"

Jim said, sidling towards the dark haired boy, and skating slowly next to him.

"Yes, I think I understand."

Spock answered, concentrating on his feet and moving them in the correct way. Jim watched him, making sure he didn't move too quickly.

Spock wobbled and Jim caught him again, grabbing hold of the Vulcan's hand. At this action Spock pushed Jim backwards, wrenching his hand away from the human, shock evident on his face.

"Dude! What happened there? All I did was stop you falling; no need to push me!"

Jim replied, shocked at the sudden outburst from the quiet, and reserved Vulcan.

Spock stopped skating and flushed dark green, he slowly made his way back to the side of the rink, leaving Jim standing flabbergasted and a little pissed off a few feet away.

Jim came back to his senses and skated quickly to where Spock was leaning.

"I apologise for my reaction Jim, it appears you do not know about Vulcan physiology"

Spock said, not looking at the boy before him, who was standing with his arms folded over his chest, frowning slightly.

"Uh, what?"

Jim asked, utterly confused at what he had done to upset Spock.

"For vulcans such as myself hands are…an erogenous zone; you taking my hand in such a way is equivalent to a human kiss"

Spock answered, watching the human blush dark pink and stutter for a few moments.

"Fuck! I'm sorry Spock, I didn't realise that…wow this is kinda uncomfortable…we've barely known each other 15 minutes and I've already kissed you…that's quick even for me"

Jim replied, smiling awkwardly at the Spock.

"Do not apologise, as you said you were ignorant to the fact I have supplied you with, let us forget the incident and resume the skating lesson?"

Spock said, moving away from the edge of the rink for what seemed like the hundredth time in the last 15 minutes.

"Uh, yeah right, and I will avoid grabbing your hands if you fall…it's just your hands though right? No other body parts I need to be wary of?"

Jim asked, blushing again.

"The hands are the only place you need worry about Jim."

Spock answered, carefully rolling out from the side, Jim following close behind him, arms out ready to catch him if he fell.

At that point Spock's mother rolled past, her cheeks lightly flushed and a large smile on her face.

"Greetings spock! How are you enjoying the experience of roller-skating?"

She asked, skidding to a stop in front of them. She had apparently not noticed Jim.

Then she looked into his face, a threatening look flashing in her eyes for a moment; Jim flinched when he noticed this.

"I find it most difficult mother; I am not a natural at this exercise, however Jim is teaching me how to skate without coming to injury or harm"

Spock replied, wobbling slightly as he gestured to the blonde hovering behind him. Jim placed a hand on Spock's ribs as he lost his balance for a second.

He waved at the woman before him, who was now smiling at him warmly.

"Hey there, I'm just helping him skate, nothing to worry about."

Jim said, wondering why he had to make this excuse, it was his natural instinct to feign innocence when he was with people's parents; they always seemed to assume he was trying to get into their son or daughter's pants. To be honest he normally was, but that wasn't the point. He wasn't trying to get into Spock's pants, although he had just accidently kissed him but he actually was just teaching him to skate. Accidental kisses aside.

Amanda smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Well that is very considerate of you Jim, thank you for looking after my son for me, I did wonder how he would fare at skating but he seems to be in capable hands so I needn't worry"

She said, stroking Spock's cheek lightly, continuing to smile at Jim.

Jim decided that he liked Spock's mother, she was sweet and not accusing him of anything, and she was genuinely grateful to Jim for looking after her son.

With a kiss to a mortified Spock's forehead, she turned and skated away, leaving the boys in an awkward silence for a moment.

"She's nice! You have her eyes"

Jim said, letting go of Spock as they moved slowly into the rink.

"I have often been told that I have her eyes. I am glad she did not tell you to leave me to my own devices; I would very likely be on the floor if it were not for your teaching, Jim"

Spock answered, turning to face the younger boy, gratitude swimming in his eyes.

"I think you don't give yourself enough credit Spock, you seem to actually be grasping skating pretty well; I mean you just turned around without wobbling or anything!"

Jim replied, accepting the half-compliment from the Vulcan and smiling.

However his words seemed to jinx Spock as he then proceeded to flail his arms and skid on the spot as a skater tore past him, knocking him off balance.

Jim moved like lightning, racing behind Spock and catching him under his arms as Spock lurched towards the floor.

"You ok? Nearly on the floor again there Spock, lucky I got quick reflexes!"

Jim said, holding tightly onto Spock, wrapping his arms around his torso and pulling him flush against his chest.

It was at this moment that Sam rolled past, having left the red-head on the other side of the rink.

"Well well Jimmy, what's going on here then?"

Sam asked, tapping his little brother on the shoulder and laughing.

"Oh, Hi Sam, I'm teaching him how to skate"

Jim replied, spinning his head around to look at his older brother. He made sure Spock was steady on his feet, letting him cling to Jim's sleeve, before pulling his brother into a one armed hug.

The two human boys laughed as they broke apart. Sam ruffling his brother's spiky blonde hair as he had done since they were kids. Even though they were now 17 and 22, they kept to tradition as always.

"Sam, this is spock"

Jim said, taking hold of Spock's ribs and smiling.

"Oh right, so you've made friends with a Vulcan and now you're…teaching him to skate did you say?"

Sam asked, waving at Spock in a friendly way.

"Yeah, pretty much."

Jim answered.

Sam offered a hand for Spock to shake.

"Hey there Spock, my name's Sam, I see you've already met my idiot little brother. Nice to meet ya kid"

Spock stared at the hand, confused at what he should do.

"You shake it, you know like a handshake?"

Sam said, his smile fading a little as the Vulcan continued to stare blankly at him.

"Vulcan's do not use this greeting, we do something different with our hands, allow me to show you"

Spock answered. Jim understood why they didn't shake hands; it would be like kissing a bunch of strangers all the time and that would be weird.

"Alright then laddie, show me what you got"

Sam lowered his hand and smiled at Spock, awaiting the gesture.

Spock lifted his hand and held it palm outwards with the middle and ring fingers separated to create a v shape.

Spock watched in amusement as the two brothers made the shape with their hands and copied him.

Sam raised his eyebrows at Jim, who flushed lightly, knowing what his brother was suggesting. He was hinting that Jim was trying to get with Spock, which, again, he wasn't. It seemed that people did not trust him to do nice things unless there was an ulterior motive.

Whatever. Jim found that he didn't care what other people thought of him.

"Well it was nice meeting you Spock, but I've got some serious skating to do, see you later Jim, oh and good luck with the skating Vulcan boy!"

Sam called back as he patted Jim on the arm and smiled at his audience, before skating off in the opposite direction.

"Your brother is very energetic and confident Jim, he has quite a likeness to you in his facial features, and you seem to have the same eyes"

Spock answered, looking sideways at the human that was still holding his elbow reassuringly.

"Everyone says that; Sam and I have got our Dad's eyes. Mum always gets upset when people mention it to her; see because my dad died when I was born she doesn't like being reminded of him."

Jim answered, looking sadly towards his brother who was skating circles around the red haired girl across the rink from them.

"I apologise Jim, I did not mean to upset you in any way."

Spock responded, touching the human's arm lightly.

"No, it's fine, I don't mind having his eyes, and it's my mum that gets upset about it."

Jim replied, turning to Spock and blinking his father's azure eyes at him whilst smiling widely.

"So let's get back to the skating shall we?"

Jim changed the subject, watching Spock contemplate his next comment for a moment.

"Yes, I believe that would be a wise course of action Jim."

Spock retorted, attempting to steady himself on the skates.

"Ok I think you should try skating without me holding you up…you think you can do it?"

Jim broached, smiling up at the dark haired boy as panic flashed across his eyes at the comment.

"I believe I might be able to do so"

Spock answered, looking into Jim's reassuring face.

"Alright then, I'll wait here-

Jim skated to a place about 10 feet away from Spock

-and you skate towards me, I will catch you if you fall, I've got good reflexes remember? And if you feel you can't do it just say so and I'll come closer….alright?"

Jim called to spock from his position. Holding his thumbs up in what spock supposed was an encouraging way.

Spock stared at Jim as he skated away from him, leaving him standing alone.

"Yes Jim"

He spoke warily, looking around him, he began to calculate the possibility that he would fall. It was not a positive percentage; 82.75%. There was sometimes a merit to calculating odds of success and failure. And sometimes there was not. He pushed these thoughts away and carefully rolled towards Jim, taking each slow step at a time.

Jim watched him, smiling. In fact he was worried that Spock would fall and then he wouldn't wanna talk to his teacher anymore. He watched, ready to leap into action if anything bad happened. He dodged his brother and the red head as they skated past him, Sam pulling the girl around the rink as she squealed with laughter.

Spock was moving fairly confidently, there was an occasional wobble, which he recovered from by balancing using his arms as counter weight. Within a few short minutes Spock was moving quickly into Jim's open arms. He held onto Jim's sides as he reached him, effectively pulling Jim into a hug.

"See? You totally did that all on your own without any help from me! Well done Spock!"

Jim said, patting the Vulcan on the back and smiling up at him.

Their faces were inches from each other, as they stood in the hug for a few minutes. Jim was shivering as he felt Spock's warmth embrace him and the warm breath puffed out on his neck. Then it happened.

Spock pulled back from the hug, took Jim's face in his hands and kissed him, hard, on the mouth.

Without time to think Jim was being kissed by the Vulcan, he felt the rough tongue brush against his lower lip, and allowed it entrance.

He clung tightly to Spock's sides as their tongues explored each other's mouths and teeth clinked together comfortably.

Jim could not believe that this was happening, one minute he was teaching him to skate and now his tongue was down his throat. Not that Jim minded in the slightest, he was just taken aback that was all.

They broke apart, cheeks flushed and panting slightly.

"Jim, I apologise…I let emotion control-

Spock started to say, looking mortified at what had happened.

Jim however interrupted the pretty Vulcan:

"Nuh uh mister! You are not gonna apologise for that amazing kiss…I have absolutely no problems with what just happened…didn't you enjoy it?"

Jim said, smiling in a dazed way, still in shock from the epic kiss he had just been subjected to.

Spock looked a little taken aback himself by Jim's interruption.

"Yes, I did enjoy it, but I assumed that you were not comfortable with me kissing you, as I have not known you for very long and I was taking liberties with your open personality. You do not believe that I was wrong to kiss you?"

Spock responded, looking confused and bewildered, well as confused and bewildered as a Vulcan can look.

"Oh hell no! Wrong? No way! I was a little shocked at first but no, totally ok with you kissing me, I mean if that's what you wanna do just go for it…also it wasn't totally one sided there Spock, my tongue was as much in your mouth as yours was in mine"

Jim responded, stroking the Vulcan's pointed ear with a fingertip, eliciting a moan from the older boy.

Spock flushed dark green at Jim's touch, letting his words sink in for a moment.

"So you would not find it disagreeable if I were to repeat the occurrence? Perhaps we should move our ministrations to somewhere more…comfortable?"

Spock responded, flooded with happiness that his emotions had not been rejected by the human boy.

"No I wouldn't be "disagreeable", yeah somewhere where you are less likely of ending up in a heap on the floor…but what about your mum and your uncle, I will need to tell Sam that we're leaving as well…let me just go tell him, wait here I'll be right back"

Jim said, and before Spock could reply Jim tore off towards his brother.

Spock watched as he whispered into Sam's ear, said brother smiled at Jim and then looked pointedly at Spock, before nodding and ruffling Jim's hair again. Reaching into his pocket, Sam pulled out what looked like a wallet, he retrieved a small square packet and pushed it into his brothers hand.* Jim looked down at it and his eyebrows rose. Sam nodded his head again and pushed his brother away playfully. Spock frowned, wondering what the older kirk brother had given Jim, but before he could think about it the blonde had pocketed the packet and within minutes was back at Spock's side.

"Ok, Sam's fine with us leaving. Can you see your mum anywhere? Coz we'll need to tell her as well…are you sure you wanna go somewhere with me…I was thinking we could go back to mine; I live just down the street from here, and it's warm there and you don't have to wear skates with wheels underneath…but if you don't wanna then we can just-

Jim babbled, looking warily at Spock and thinking about what his brother had given him.

Spock interrupted him

"Yes Jim, I am sure I would like to go somewhere else with you, your house seems like the logical place. I can see my mother, she is just across the rink talking to my uncle, we should make our way to her now, if you will escort me over there as I am not confident I will not fall whilst making my way there alone. Stop worrying Jim, this is what I want to do."

Spock finished, pointing to where Amanda and Thomas were leaning against the edge of the rink, chatting happily.

Jim smiled at Spock, realising that he was seriously wanting to go to Jim's house, well not that Jim minded, whatever happened happened, he would let Spock do all the controlling. Jim was used to being in control of sexual situations, but this time he wouldn't feel right doing this with Spock; the ball was in the Vulcan's court in this case. And Jim was happy with that conclusion.

With that Spock grabbed hold of Jim's hand, and smiled, yes actually smiled, at the human, who was blushing slightly in recognition of the meaning behind Spock's gesture.

Jim then snapped out of his brain melt and lightly pulled Spock along beside him, towards Amanda.

Jim was not surprised when Spock let go of his hand as they neared the elegant dark haired form of his mother.

"Mother, would I be permitted to leave with Jim, to go to his house and practice skating techniques for the night?"

Spock asked the woman, who smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly. She shared a knowing glance with her brother, to whom she bore a large resemblance, having the same dark eyes and warm smile, and nodded in Spock's direction. Jim knew what the adults were thinking: 'is that what you kids are calling it nowadays? Practicing skating techniques eh?'

"I assume it would be possible for me to stay the night at your house Jim?"

Spock asked, turning to the beautiful human boy with an expectant look on his face.

"Yeah of course Spock, I've got sleeping bags and spare mattresses and stuff"

Jim answered, feeling a little awkward at the implications behind Spock's question. The packet in Jim's pocket seemed all the more likely of being used if he understood what Spock was meaning behind his innocent question.

Amanda looked between the two boys and smiled again.

"I will contact you in the morning mother; you need not worry about me. I'm sure Jim will be able to direct me to Uncle Thomas' house if necessary"

Spock answered, touching his mother's shoulder lightly. She smiled at him and nodded reassuringly.

"That will be most acceptable Spock; enjoy yourself with Jim"

Amanda responded, looking at Jim for a second and planting a light kiss to her son's forehead as she had done earlier.

"Where do you live Thomas? I know my way around most places in Iowa"

Jim asked, looking into the warm face of the older man and smiling.

"Finches Avenue, number 27, do you know where that is, kid?"

Thomas asked, patting Jim lightly on the arm.

"Yeah I do, that's just a few streets away from my house; awesome! I'll take you there in the morning if you want Spock?"

Jim replied, happy that he knew where to go when Spock needed to go home the next day. Anxiousness fluttered in Jim's stomach at the imminent activities that might be happening between him and Spock when they arrived at the old farmhouse. He let himself be reminded that Spock had the reigns and anything he wanted to do, or not do was fine with Jim, he was just happy to be spending time with Spock at all.

"Thank you Jim, I will be most grateful if you could do so. Thank you mother, uncle, I will take my leave now, enjoy your time at the skating rink, I will see you both tomorrow morning, farewell."

Spock answered, before wrapping an arm around Jim's shoulder and directing him away from his family towards the exit of the skating rink.

"I am sorry that I assumed I would be spending the night at your house Jim, I was not sure of what we intended to do when we returned to your house, but I imagine it would end up with me staying over. If I was incorrect to assume you wanted me to stay then I apologise. Also I lied to my mother saying we were going to be skating, I was not sure that she would want to know the truth of the possibilities that might occur…I apologise for-

Spock was talking quietly but Jim could hear how the words were tinged with regret and shame.

Jim decided to interrupt the sad confessions flowing from the Vulcan's lips:

"hey, no it's fine honestly, I'm just happy to do whatever you want and go as far as you want to with this; if you just wanna sit and talk I would be fine with that, stop apologising it's absolutely ok…the ball is in your court here spock; whatever you want to do is ok with me."

Jim answered, hugging Spock to his side and smiling up at him.

While they had been talking Spock had not noticed they had made their way to the locker room. Jim untangled himself from Spock and sat on the seat, untying the laces of his boots and removing them, revealing violently coloured stripy socks. Spock followed suit and also removed his boots. The boys walked to the counter in silence to retrieve their own shoes. They walked back to the bench and sat in silence for a moment.

"thank you for being so understanding Jim, it is just that I do not normally do this sort of thing; meeting new people and forming an instant connection with them, enough to want to leave with them and go back to their houses. It is new for me. I am happy that you are not pressuring or controlling me as my past partners have done."

Spock finally said, taking Jim's hand again to reassure him.

"You're welcome Spock, I wouldn't wanna pressure you or anything, this can be as fast or as slow as you want, seriously I'm ok with whatever happens between us"

Jim answered, smiling as Spock entwined their fingers. Once they had put their shoes on they walked out of the roller-rink into the night, Spock had his arm around Jim's waist and Jim's arm rested on spock's shoulder, hugging him against the cold wind.
