It was day 2 for the gift giving again but First Officer Spock did not know that as he started his normal day like any other day except what happened yesterday.

"Dr. McCoy, do what does the bridge honor in your presence at this time?" Spock asked.

Bones gulped as he went towards to the Captain's Chair in where Spock was sitting at. "A little birdie gave me this to give to you," he said as he showed the wrap up gift to him.

Spock raised his eyebrow at the metaphor but he couldn't help but stare at the small box that was lying on the palm of McCoy. "What is it?" He asked.

Before Bones could say anything, Uhura spoke up first with a grin on her face. "It is meant for you to be opened, Spock. It's from a secret admirer," she said, "someone has a crush on you and does not want to reveal herself," she explained.

"Or himself," Bones added under his breath as Uhura heard him and her eyes widened when he said it.

"Go on Mr. Spock! You don't have to be all shy about it," Chekov said to him as the whole entire bridge crew was now watching the three.

"For the safety of the crew, I must take this to my quarters and open it there," Spock said as he didn't saw Bones rolling his eyes at him. "It might be dangerous," he added, "Mr. Sulu, you have the bridge until the captain or I come back," he said.

"Aye, aye sir," Sulu replied and with that said, Spock left the bridge as he felt eyes watching him throughout the whole process.

He had set the snow globe on top of his bedside table and whoever gave it to him, knew him really well. The only persons that know about his mother's love of snow are either his own Captain or Uhura. He had not spoken about it to anyone else then those two.

However, he knew that Uhura would not give it to him since the two had ended their relationship months ago. That means, that have only left with Jim Kirk, who was residing in his quarters beside his as his shift starts at the same time as his.

Every time that Jim Kirk touches him, he felt a wave of emotion flood through him. The touch itself felt romantically enough even if Kirk doesn't know it. The one thing that Kirk doesn't know was that Vulcan's are telepaths and Spock has felt every emotion inside him.

He had felt the emotion ever since after the phaser fight on the bridge of the Narada. At first, he had only felt jealous but then it grew even more into lust. Spock didn't know what to do and that is why he had kept it to himself for the time being. He wanted to see where this was going and since yesterday's event, he felt for sure that it was Jim who is trying to tell him that he wants to be romantically involved with him.

"Computer, time," Spock said as he did not want to be late for his shift.

"The time is now 0755," the computer voice said.

Spock put on his shirt and left his quarters but was bumped into Kirk, who had just gotten out off his quarters and was about to knock on his door as he had his hand rose up.

"Hey Spock, I was about to come and get you," Jim said with a smile.

"Indeed," Spock replied, "shall we walk together to the turbo lift?" He asked.

"It has always been that way," Jim replied and with that, the two walked together to the turbo lift.

"Captain…" Spock began but Jim interrupted him.

"I thought I always tell you to call me, Jim?" Jim asked.

"Jim," Spock began as the two waited for the turbo lift, "yesterday during my bridge duty, Dr. McCoy handed me a small gift and Lt. Uhura told me that it was from someone secretive," he said.

Jim wasn't at the bridge at the time, but he heard it from Bones about what happened. The two went inside the turbo lift and Jim said, "Bridge," as the turbo lift took them there. "Do you know who's it from?" He asked.

"As humans call it, I do have a 'gut feeling' in my stomach," Spock said.

"Oh, I'm intrigued to know who it is from, Spock," Jim said.

Spock decided to tease him a little to see how he reacts. "I do believe that Dr. McCoy wants me to court him," he said without even looking at him.

Jim had his eyes widened at that moment. "Why do you believe that? Bones is with Nurse Chapel," he said.

"However, I do believe it was either him or Lt. Uhura who is probably trying to get back to me," Spock said even though he knew that Lt. Uhura has her eyes on Scotty who had no idea.

"Well, all I know is that Bones is busy in preparing the party in the mess hall," Jim said as he had announced it yesterday and the crew was excited for it. Spock was about to say something else but didn't have the time as they had arrived at the bridge. "What is the status of our speed?" Jim asked as he went to sit in the Captain's Chair while Spock sat at the science station.

"We are currently on route to Earth sir in Warp 3 and we'll be there within four days," Sulu replied.

"That's good to hear," Jim said as he wondered where the hell was Bones so that Bones could give Spock his second gift. However, he was clearly surprise to hear Lt. Uhura talking to Spock instead.

"Spock, McCoy wants me to give you this," Uhura began as Jim turned to look at the two and he saw the gift that he had wrap in Uhura's own hand. He paled at the thought on why Bones would give it to her.

"Captain, is something the matter?" Sulu asked as he and the other bridge members have turned to look at Uhura and Spock but were now staring at Jim who has a pale face on at the moment.

"I'm fine everyone. I was just thinking of something," Jim replied.

While the others have been distracted, Spock has opened his gift and he saw a gold ring inside the box. It was Uhura who saw it first. "That's a promise ring!" She said with a squeal as she darted her eyes to Jim for a moment before turning to look at Spock again.

"What is it?" Spock asked as he never heard such a thing before.

"A promise ring is a ring that someone wants you to marry him/her someday," Uhura explained.

"Spock isn't gay, Uhura," Chekov said as Jim was staring at Spock's face for any indication to that comment but it was hard to tell otherwise.

"However, I am not yet ready for marriage," Spock began, "my fiancée have been killed during the destruction of Vulcan and I do not know the identity of this person," he said.

I have no idea that Spock had a fiancée before! Did Uhura know about this? Jim thought as he looked at Uhura who was staring back at him.

"Once I know the identity of the person who had given me this ring, I will tell either him/her that I will court him/her first before marriage," Spock said.

"Spock, you're not reconsidering this, are you? For all we know, it could be Dr. McCoy who given you that!" Chekov said as he didn't think it would be a pleasant match.

"Chekov, it isn't your decision for Mr. Spock," Sulu said.

"I just don't want Mr. Spock to get hurt, Hikaru! You know what happened to me before!" Chekov exclaimed as he said a little bit too much.

"I assure you Chekov, that my logic tells me that it isn't Dr. McCoy," Spock said.

Jim eyed Spock who was staring back at him. He had a feeling that Spock already knew that it was him and somehow he hated the fact that Bones, his best friend, have told Spock the truth.
