The hope was to get three tonight, but we'll see how that goes. Most likely, I'll be writing on my phone until I fall asleep.

End up getting married in Vegas although we're total strangers AU

Spock was not the kind of person to make a decision on whim or impulse; he was a fan of logical thinking and having a purpose behind his decisions. It made what he did on that night all the stranger.

On his twenty-fifth birthday he caved to his best friends wishes and found himself celebrating the day in no other than Las Vegas, Nevada, a place he had most definitely heard of but never visited. It was not, as his mother was wont to say, his 'cup of tea'. But, his small group of friends had been attempting to get him there since they were old enough to enjoy the attractions, and now that there was to be a show there he was highly interested in seeing, Spock pitched in to book a suite for the four days they would be there.

Looking at the price, he was glad to be well off.

In the days leading up to their trip Spock found himself being dragged from one store to the next, holding onto bags because his mother raised him a gentleman. It was a relief to finally board the plane, and to be able to focus on his reading for the duration of the flight. The time on the plane went by quickly for Spock, and soon they were landing and heading to the hotel.

Once they had their bags down Spock and his friends decided to explore before choosing a place to eat, a routine that happens the next day as well. It's on the evening of the third day that he meets Jim; he was at his show and Jim had the seat beside him, and throughout the show he finds himself drawn into conversation. The two go out for drinks afterwards, and the evening from that point on is—admittedly—a blur to him.

"You know, there's nothing wrong with letting lose every once in a while. As a matter of fact, I would highly recommend it." He leans in towards him, looking up at him through his lashes. Spock finds he cannot look away. The soft press of lips to his own is a welcome delight.

"Do you take this man, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part?"

"I do." Spock breathes, barely waiting for Jim to answer the same before kissing those sweet lips once again.

He's undressing him as they go, lips fused together as they stumble their way to the bed. Spock moans into the hands that press to his skin, the feelings it inspires too much but not enough all at once. They crash into the bed, tangling together as they roll around the bed. It's the best night of passion he's ever had, and it's barely even begun.

When Spock wakes that morning, it's to the unfamiliar sensation of a warm body draped across his own, their breathing causing a patch of wet skin to accumulate on his neck. He opens his eyes to a hotel room that is not his own, and sunlight shining through the cracks of the curtains that were draped on the rooms sole window. It's not a situation he's ever found himself in, and for a moment he is unsure on what he should do.

There is no way to get up from the bed without waking his bed mate, and he is unsure who that is, fortunately for him the dilemma resolves itself, as Jim wakes in the moment, stretching naked skin against his own bare chest, rolling off him before he opens his eyes and meets his gaze. Spock is struck for a moment but the vibrancy of his eyes, admiring the thick lashes that shield them when he blinks the sleep from his eyes.

"Morning." His voice is rough with sleep, and sends a jolt down his spine. Spock ignores the sensation, choosing instead to reply.

"Good morning, Jim." He watches him sit up, the sheets pooling enticingly at his waist. "Do you recall what we did last night?"

Jim runs his hands down his face, a frown in his voice when he replies. "I think…Spock, I think we got married." He holds his hand in front of his face, staring at the gold band that adorns his ring finger. Spock looks from Jim's to his own, breath catching when he finds a matching ring.

"It appears we did." He agrees and sits up as well, staring blankly at the dark TV screen before them as he tries to remember how the situation had occurred. Nothing comes forth, and when he turns to Jim he can see the same struggle playing out on his face as well.

"Well." Jim sighs and shakes his head. "How about some breakfast?" He asks, throwing the sheets back to stand, unashamed of his own nudity. "Want to stop by your room before we go, to change?"

Spock thinks of his friends who are likely waiting for him, and who would 'jump' him when they see him, leaving him unable to change and leave. Though he dislikes wearing clothes two days in a row, he knows going straight to breakfast is the only way he will be able to discuss the happenings of last night without having to wait.

"No, I would prefer to go to breakfast and talk." Spock stands as well, glad to still be wearing his boxers, if nothing else. He dresses swiftly, waiting patiently for Jim to exit the bathroom before following him out the room, and into the empty hall.

"Wanna eat at the buffet here, or somewhere else?" Jim asks, pressing the lobby button once they're in the elevator.

"Here will be fine." Spock answers, watching the floors tick by in silence. He leads the way out when the doors open, finding the dining hall with ease. They make their plates in a silence that lasts until they find a spot to sit; Spock bites into his eggs as he ponders what to say next.

There is a lot that needs to be said, between the two of them; they have yet to know each other for twenty-four hours, but find themselves married and having spent the night together. Spock feels something for Jim—he was able to work that out during their way down. It's hard to tell what it will grow to be since it is so fresh, but as Spock locks eyes with Jim over the table, he has hope that it will be something that lasts beyond the days to come.

I wrote this quicker than I thought I would. For once, Spock cooperated with me! Yay for that~
