Unexpected, but yet another that links to Show Me! Which also means that it connects to last chapter, which was Two In Love. I really like these little connecting drabbles, and hope that you do as well! ^_^
The song here is It's Your Love by Tim McGraw feat. Faith Hill. They sing such lovely songs.~
Disclaimer: I do not own, nope nope nope.
Though Jim had discovered he had an inclination to sing to Spock all of their important moments on the Bridge before their crew, there was one incident that was kept between just them, and their closest friends. It had been spontaneous, the music flowing out of him without his say so. It was a pivotal moment for them, easing fears and settling those slight doubts. Though it had not occurred on the Bridge, the event had still somehow managed to be recorded, kept secret between just them.
They had been in an empty rec room, all choosing to spend time together on their down time, eating dinner and just…being, with the ones that they trusted most. Everyone was scattered about the room, James and Spock sitting together on the couch. The two were seated close, Spock's naturally straight form relaxed, tilted just so, so that Jim could lean his body into his.
It was a way of sitting that came naturally to them; they fell into it without thought, focused instead on their separate activities; Spock his articles, and Jim his puzzles.
If anyone had looked closely they would have noticed how his attention was not as focused as it seemed; his thoughts kept returning to the man beside him, radiating warmth everywhere they pressed. Things between them were good, but it wasn't hard to see that there were lingering insecurities, among other problems; it had been on his mind for some time, Jim trying to discover a way to make things better between them.
A part of his thoughts were naturally drawn to finding a song, and find one it did, without his notice, soft words passing through his lips in a soft hum. Once he realized what was happening he just smiled to himself, gaining in sound just enough that Spock could notice.
Turning his face towards him, ignoring those around them, the camera he vaguely realized was trained their way, he let the words flow. He linked their pinkies together, so that he would understand the emotion and sentiment behind it clearly.
"Better than I was, more than I am
And all of this happened by taking your hand.
And who I am now is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together, I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free."
As he started into the chorus he saw the light click in his eyes, barely halfway through before he was stopped with soft lips touching his, warm affection being shared between them. Like he knew he would, Spock understood; he understood, and reciprocated in kind.
"It's your love."
One more after this! :( As stated before, there will be important notes at the end of it, so I hope you read them! Until then, though, an important note is this: I have the last installment started just, as of yet, unfinished. I hope to get it to you in the next couple of days. So, fingers crossed on that!
Let me know how you liked it in a review?~
