Jim knew he had to make each moment count. As he laid in bed and looked at Spock, he let a small smile play on his face as he watched his partner sleep. The gentle curves of Spock's face and the point of his ears were something Jim wanted to remember forever.

"Sleep t'hy'la, please," Spock sleepily said, his hand still in Jim's.

"In a moment, I love you."
