"Cool." Did you hear Spock right? Did he really just tell you he was in love with you? Holy crap.
"I'm sorry Kirk, but did you just say, 'cool' as your response to me confessing my love to you?" He seems greatly puzzled by this, but you have a plan.
"Yes, Spock. I did just say you being in love with me was cool, because it makes it so much easier on my behave." Oh, wait, that sounds kinda funky.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I said call me Kirk, and it just makes what I'm about to say a bunch easier." Even if Spock saying it first makes it easier for you, you're still nervous. Until you met Spock Prime a while back and saw what Spock did for you and your crew, you didn't know what the feeling was you had when he was around, mainly because you weren't willing to accept the fact that you would swing that way. Ever since meeting Spock Prime though, you knew. You knew the feeling was love, and not just brotherly love like you felt for Bones, but actual, 'that's not a phaser in my pants, I'm just happy to see you' love. It's quite deeper then that, though, because you often find yourself staring into his deep brown eyes, looking at how neat and clean his hair is, and even admiring the way he holds himself with such pride. You don't just find him physically attractive though, you feel good when he's around. You enjoy his company; You even always thought he enjoyed being with you, and turns out you were right. The half-Vulcan-half-human man sitting across the table from you right now feels the same way about you as you do about him, and that makes you feel amazing. You feel like you did back in high school when you'd smoke with your old buddies and get high as a kite. You feel so good you could just kiss Spock, the man you loved and the man who loved you, but you don't. At least not quite yet, but you think about it.
"Kirk?" Oh geez. You were daydreaming about Spock and forgot to tell him what you mean to.
"Sorry." You try to calm down a little, before you jump across the table and kiss him, as you continue. "You see Spock, it just so happens that a certain captain you like, really really likes you back." You smile and wink at him as his expression changes from confused to elated.
"Really, Kirk?" He looks happy but apparently doesn't believe his big, adorable pointy ears gave him the correct information.
You lean in close to him, and whisper, "Does this answer your question?" As you pull him into a surprise kiss. Well he seems thoroughly surprised, though you knew you would kiss him soon. "So, does it?" You smile at him as you release his blue polyester Star Fleet shirt.
"I believe it does, Kirk." He has the biggest grin on his face you've ever seen from that man, and It makes you widen yours. You glance over to the clock and suddenly realize how much time has passed. So much, in fact that you'll have to take your coffee on the go, but you don't mind. You don't mind at all because now you know that the only, even if he's only half, Vulcan alive is now yours. He's all yours, and you two are going to be stuck in space together for an entire five years. It's already been a wonderful day, and it's just now seven am.
"As much as I'd love for us to stay here and suck face, we do have a shuttle to catch." Spock looks at the time and verbally gasps.
"Yes, Kirk, we best be going so as not to miss it." As you stand he does so in time with you, and leans down ever so slightly to plant a kiss on your cheek. You're grinning goofily again as you're walking out the door. As much as you want to hold his hand or wrap your arms around him, you know you can't yet, because the people of Star Fleet are very judging and the only people who may understand are your crew. But they also might not approve, and then how can you captain them if they don't approve of your personal life? Hold up Kirk, key word here is personal. They better not judge you and Spock for being in love, and if they do it better not interfere with how well they respond to you as their captain. You also have to keep in mind, though, that you can't let this new relationship between you and Spock interfere with you as captain. Remember, this doesn't change your business relationship with this man, just your personal one. You two were no longer good friends, but boyfriends.
