Jim sat in one of the rec rooms, staring at a chess set.

"Do you play?"

"Oh, Bo...I mean Dr. McCoy. I didn't hear you."

"I noticed. How you doing kid?"

"Don't call me kid. I'm fine. Tired, a bit sore, totally freaked out, but fine."

"Yeah, that sounds fine. Alright, Jim. What are you doing here? You play chess?"

"No, I don't think so."

"You don't think so?"

"Long story."

Before McCoy could answer, Uhura contacted him.

"Duty calls. Gotta go. See ya kid."

"Bye."

Jim stared at the chess set. He had memories of playing this game with Spock. He usually lost. And it hurt, knowing he'd never have any relationship with the Vulcan, certainly not the one from Spock Prime's time. Scotty dropped down beside him.

"Laddie, how are you?"

"Fine. How about you? Is that a hickey?"

"Aye, they have an Orion girl down in engineering. We were working together and well, you know."

"Ha, yeah. You like her?"

"I think I could. Oh, here comes the captain. I'll leave you to it."

Scotty left, throwing a quick slaute to Spock on his way out. Jim laughed at Scotty. That man was insane. Spock rised an eyebrow as Jim laughed. Instantly, Jim's body heated up. God, why was he attracted to this man? It wasn't right. He didn't even know him. Well, he did in a way, but still.

"What do you think of the ship?"

"Oh, it's amazing. I would have liked to have worked on it."

"Maybe one day."

"Doubtful. I see the way people look at me. They don't trust me. Not since I come from Nero's ship."

"There distrust is...illogical."

"We're humans. We're illogical Spock."

"Yes. I have noticed that."

"Why are you here Spock?"

"To save the universe.."

"Ok, too literal. Why are you here? As in, why are you in this room?"

"I wish to speak with you about your knowledge."

"Knowledge? Never been asked about that before."

"Of Nero's plan."

"I told you. He's going to attack Earth."

"I already knew that. It is only logical after all. But how will he do it?"

"The same way he destroyed Vulcan."

"Of course. He is on his way now I preusme."

"Yes, he is. Do you play this?"

"Chess? Yes, I do."

"You any good?"

Spock raised an eyebrow. He did not see the sense in these questions, but he decided to hunour the younger man.

"I am one of the best on the ship."

"Can you teach me?"

Spock raised an eyebrow at Jim. He wanted to learn how to play 3-D chess.

"Very well. We will not be at Earth for another couple of hours. I can teach you."

"You're picking up the Earth lingo. So, black or white?"

Spock was surprised. The human was good at chess, even though it was his first time.

"You have never played before?"

"Never. First time luck I guess. Oh, I told the good doctor I'd be back in MedBay by nine. Better go. Thanks Spock."

Jim placed his hand on top of Spock's who shivered at the contact.

"Later Spock."

"Farewell Jim."

Spock stared after the human. This feeling was illogical. Why was he attracted to this human male? He had Uhura, who was the logical choice. Then why couldn't he get Jim Kirk out of his head? Maybe Uhura would know.

Jim flopped down onto the bed in the MedBay. God, he wanted Spock, so bad. The Vulcan was attractive, strong, smart and the total opposite of Nero. He was just what Jim wanted. If only Spock let himself feel...well, anything. Maybe Jim should ask McCoy for help. It might work. Jim settled down and fell asleep, thoughts of Spock racing through his mind.

A/N Done. R&R please. Sorry for the wait. There was no inspiration on Friday, I was in Dublin all day yesterday so. And as for tomorrow, I have a dentist appointment, but I will try to update. Next chapter, Spock talks to Uhura, Jim talks to Bones and will Spock and Jim ever end up together?
