Thanks for reading! and reviewing!
That night was the first night I slept peacefully in two months. When I eventually did wake up I found myself wishing I could go back to bed, not because I was tried just cause that meant I could sleep again.
I was so thrilled that I had such a good nights sleep that I didn't remember any of my worries. I ate breakfast alone in my room, humming happily to myself as I did so. I went through my usual morning routine with a smile on my face the whole time. Until there was a beep notifying me of someone at my door.
That's when everything came crashing back down. I remembered that the mind meld was today. That was something I defiantly wasn't looking forward to.
I quickly walked to the door and opened it to see my Spock, I found that this term didn't bother me anymore, my Spock I said once again in my head. I just hope it will come true. He was holding a few things in his arms, so I quickly stepped to the side saying hello and allowing him access to my room. He was holding a couple of mats, candles, and what looked like incense.
"Is all of that for the mind meld?" I asked.
"Yes, these will help to create a comfortable atmosphere which will allow us both to reach a state of relaxation that will be conducive to the meld."
"Oh. Cool." I replied.
Spock quickly went to work setting up the room; first he laid out the mats, and put the bowl of incense on the ground near them and lighting it. He then started to put the candles in random spots in the room, lighting them as he went. The room was soon filled with a different kind of smell, weird, but oddly pleasant.
"Jim, would you please turn off the lights and sit on the mat across from me?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure." I said as I quickly flipped the switch to the lights and sat down across from him.
"What we are about to do is quite very difficult and quite time consuming. Nothing will be hidden from either of us, because our minds will be open. Once I initiate the meld, I will find your subconscious and we will then look for the memories that were implanted to your mind. Once I find them I will begin the process of removing them. While I am doing so, I ask that you refrain from trying to contact me." He said this with a look that clearly said 'I know you'll try, so don't do it.' he then continued explaining, "I will be very focused on removing the memories, so it will seem as if I am not there. Please do not worry if this takes a lot of time, I am fairly certain it most definitely will."
He then asked if I was ready and I nodded my head, he placed his hand on my face at the points that would let him into my mind and said "My mind, to your mind."
My thoughts, to your thoughts," then echoed in my head. It was a little surprising; I wasn't alone in my head anymore. I could feel someone there, yet not there at the same time. It was like they were me and I was them, yet not at all. It was the weirdest feeling.
I never knew what my mind would look like, I hadn't even thought about it, but I guess it didn't surprise me that it was a brilliant white. Everything around me was practically shining. That was when I saw the black. Yet, at the same time it wasn't black at all, I couldn't describe it. It didn't scare me like I thought it would, it almost seemed to comfort me; I wanted to reach out and touch it.
At this thought I heard Spock say Fascinating somewhere around me, but all I could see was the brilliant white light and the deep black.
These are the forms that our minds have taken, it is what your mind finds most comfortable, I heard come out of nowhere. It was then that I realized that I knew what Spock was thinking and I could feel what he was feeling; surprise, wonder, and confusion. I take it he knew what I was feeling as well, basically the same things.
Spock? This is weird. I said still trying to get a grasp on what was going on.
Focus Jim, Spock said. I am now going to begin to remove the memories, please remember what I said earlier and remain silent; I am about to begin.
I knew exactly when he started to remove the memories, like he said it felt as if he wasn't here anymore. The comforting blackness that was Spock's mind seemed to diminish a bit, but still remained. I suddenly felt lonely.
I knew Spock said this was going to take long, but seriously? It felt like I was floating there for days, there is not much to do when you're basically just a white light. I found it very hard to listen to what Spock told me; I wanted to talk really badly!
Finally I started to notice something change around me. The blackness started to brighten back up again and the lonely feeling was starting to leave. I finally heard Spock speak.
Jim, he said a bit breathlessly if that was at all possible, I have successfully removed all of the memories. I am going to terminate the meld.
With that I was suddenly jerked awake, if you could call it that, only to find myself in the arms of the Half-Vulcan. I was on top of him and we were on the ground wrapped up in each other's arms, in what seemed like a loving embrace.
We both looked at each other in the eyes for what seemed like eternity, then without warning Spock tilted his head up and kissed me deeply. And I thought the first kiss was amazing.
It started off somewhat slow yet so powerful, just a touching of the lips but it soon escalated into so much more. Spock's mouth was warm on mine, and I never wanted to lose this feeling. I could feel him deepening the kiss as time went on and I easily complied. This kiss was filled with so much passion I couldn't quite comprehend it.
I don't know how long we kissed there on the floor, but I knew it ended all to soon. When we finally came back up for air, and he looked at me again, cupped my face with his hand and whispered something that I couldn't quite hear.
That was how we stayed for who knows how long. We eventually drifted off to sleep, still holding each other the whole time.
A/N: Wow. Mind melds are difficult to write…I got my "inspiration" for it from Lanaea. I really liked how she described it so I felt like doing something similar. So thank you Lanaea, I hope you don't mind. I hoped you liked the meld though, I know I liked the end :D
Please Review!
