What if
What if he hadn't stood against his father? What if he hadn't gone to the Starfleet Academy? What if he hadn't been assigned to the Enterprise? What if... if he hadn't met them? Who would he be now?
Spock knew that reflecting on such matters was pointless and illogical, for all of it had happened and thus it was no use pondering how it would have been if things had been different. But sometimes such thoughts appeared in his head as he lay on a bed in his quarters, unable to fall asleep. Sometimes such thoughts appeared and he didn't chase them away. He let them be, because... surprisingly, they weren't distressful. Nothing of a sort.
He could have gone to the Vulcan Science Academy and never met his friends. He could have been obedient, could have behaved as he was expected to. He could have become his father. These thoughts were somehow reassuring.
Because he didn't.
He wouldn't have wished for a different past, although the one he had was filled with difficulties, tribulations. He made the right decisions, which led him to the present. And it all had happened. He had met them. He had them. He had reasons to be grateful for.
And as he lay on a bed in his quarters and such thoughts appeared in his head, he smiled. Barely visibly. Well... perhaps his father wouldn't have approved.
The smile widened a little.
What if he had still cared so much about his opinion?
