Okay, Spock really out does himself. Some of you might think he is a bit OOC, but I really think Spock form the 2009 movie is capable of this (especially since his mother is gone and can't show him the error of his ways). You can disagree with me, but please no flames.
Thank you T'Arrah for being my Beta reader. Mistakes are still all mine.
Star Trek is not mine.

Kirk steps up to Spock until they are toe to toe. He glares daggers at his Vulcan first officer, who is gazing at his captain impassively.
"Please tell me that my hearing is failing me, because I don't really want to believe that you just forbid me from doing something."
Spock just tilt his head as he continues to gaze at Jim who is growing more angry by the second.
"From what Doctor McCoy told me of your injuries, there was no mention of hearing loss."
Kirk's hands have dropped from his hips and are now clenching at his side. He is so enraged he can hardly see straight.
"Don't play fucking dumb with me, Spock. It's not nearly as cute as it used to be. Now tell me what gives you the right to forbid me to do anything?"
Spock's jaw tightens at the harshness in Jim's tone.
"As your first officer, it is my duty to-"
"Don't pull that duty crap with me. You aren't the only one that has memorised the regulations, so I know for a fact that none of them mention anything about travelling alternate universes. Care to try again?"
Spock is starting to look a little angry himself. He obviously didn't expect the captain to call him out. Kirk doesn't blame him for not anticipating it, because he had never done so in the past. The Vulcan evidently does not know how to feel about his captain's new found assertiveness. That might be why the next words were not as carefully thought out as he had hoped.
"I do not trust my counterpart. You have only known him for a short time and yet you seem to under his thrall. I believe that when you melded, he manipulated you into-"
"That's enough."
Spock actually jumps slightly at the sound of Jim shouting. He then looks down as on of the Captain's fingers pokes in the chest.
"You don't get the right to say anything bad about the man I am bonded to. You know nothing about him, while I know everything... because he let me in."
Spock grabs Kirk by the arms and shakes him, like it's possible to change the Human's opinions by just shaking it out of him.
"This is what I mean, Captain. You are so quick to jump to his defence. Why?"
Jim almost snarls his next words at the Vulcan in front of him. "Because we are t'hy'la!"
Spock's eyes become wide as the last word leaves Kirk's lips. Something snaps within him. He lunges at Jim and his mouth is covering the blonde's. Jim gasps in shock and Spock takes the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
Kirk is too shocked at first to do anything, and then he is too distracted by the conflicting sensations from his mental bond to respond. Part of his mind is telling him to finish a bond with this Vulcan because it incomplete, while the other part is telling him that this Vulcan is a theat to his bond. He feels as if he is being torn in two. Not as soon as he would like he is ripped away from his mental struggle when he feels Spock bite his lower painfully.
'This isn't my Spock. He would never cause me pain.'
With that powerful realisation, he shoves at Spock with all his strength and practically sprints to the other side of the room and presses himself against the wall. He licks at his lips and tastes blood.
"What the hell was that, Spock?"
Spock has a predatory gleam in his eye, as he takes a few steps towards Kirk, but halts when the clearly frightened Human lifts a hand in the universal signal for stop. Spock sighs in frustration.
"That was me 'throwing my hat into the ring', as I believe the saying goes."
Kirk's brow crinkles in confusion.
"Throwing your hat in the ring for what exactly?"
Spock's gaze runs up and down Jim's frame and then his head tilts to the side, as his eyes once again locks with his captain's.
"Your affection. I wish for you to leave the other Spock and be with me instead."
Jim pushes off from the wall, with a disbelieving smile slowly forming on his lips. He shakes his head at the resolute looking Vulcan.
"That's a good one, Spock. Really funny, but before you go throwing your imaginary hat around, you should remember one important fact. You don't even fucking like me! We have never hung out. We have never had a personal conversation. You didn't even want to meld with me to save my life, for Christ sake. That was all your doing, Spock. I reached out to you and you rejected me every goddamn time! Now you want a piece of me after someone else claims me for their own. Excellent bloody timing you have there, Spock. "
As Spock takes a step closer, Jim quickly takes a step away, unwilling to let the distance close between the two, just in case Spock decides to kiss him again.
"You are correct. I did keep my distance from you, but not for the reason you think. It was not because I did not like you, but because I liked you too well."
Kirk is starting to get pissed. No one has ever made him as confused as Spock is managing right now.
"What does that even mean?"
Spock takes another step forward and Jim, once again, takes another step back. He is all too aware that his is being pushed into a corner and hopes that this conversation will be finished before he gets to that corner, so that he can make his escape.
"When I nerve pinched you on the bridge during the Narada incident, I became aware that you were my t'hy'la, but I also realised at that time that it would not be logical to claim you. We were in the middle of an emergency and you were undermining my authority. You had to be removed from the ship, though it pained me to do so."
Kirk scoffs. "Yeah, you seemed really choked up about it."
Spock doesn't rise to the bait. He simply continues on with his explanation.
"During the battle with Nero, I had very little time to think of our potential relationship, but once we had returned to Earth, I was able to truly evaluate the situation. I soon came to the conclusion that bonding with you would be completely illogical. There were many reasons for my decision. We did not get along. I found your morals questionable to say the least. I had to also take into account that I was in a fulfilling relationship with Nyota, who unlike you, would be able to help repopulate my race, which obviously became a concern after the demise of my planet. Though, the most convincing reason of them them all was that you seem to be the only being that can emotional compromise me and I could not let you close enough to do that to me again. I am Vulcan and thus need a bond-mate that would respect my way of life."
Kirk can't keep the incredulous (and slightly insulted) look off his face. It doesn't seem to matter though, because Spock doesn't notice and just keeps on talking.
"Once I decided that we would not be bonding, I had to make sure that I stayed away from you, so that a bond would not form automatically, which has been known to happen between t'hy'la."
Jim is beyond outraged, but he keeps it (mostly) contained, because there is still one thing he doesn't get and needs to find out before he blows his top.
"Why now? If you worked so damn hard on making sure that we never bonded, why do you want to bond us now?"
Kirk can now sees that Spock has gained some ground when he wasn't paying attention and goes to move back, but the wall he hits stops his progress. His eyes widen in fear, when his XO closes the final distance between them. Two warm fingers trail down Kirk's cheek and along his jaw before dropping to the Vulcan's side. Spock lips are only millimetres away from Jim's as he answers the question. Jim whole body seizes up, as his brain screams about who wrong this is.
"You misunderstand me. I am married to Uhura and I will eventually bond with her, which means that I will not be able to bond with you. However, that does not exclude us from having a discreet sexual relationship, Jim."
It is the first time this Spock has ever used his name and in the past he would have felt joy from that, but Spock's words have made him see red. He does the first thing that comes to his mind. His head cranes up slightly and he bites Spock hard on the nose. Spock jumps back in either shock or pain (maybe both), and Jim pushes past him. He doesn't turn around to face the Vulcan until he reaches the door.
"You are the most moronic genius I have ever know. First you have the nerve to tell me that you are attracted to me against your will, and then you go on to explain to me how you only want me if I play the 'other woman' in your life. Did you think this through... at all? Did you actually think I would accept your offer to be your whore? And even if I was stupid enough to go for your proposal, how would you explain it to Uhura? When you bond with her she is bound to find out."
Spock opens his mouth, ready to respond, but Jim cuts him off.
"No, don't answer that, because I'm sure that whatever you say is just going to make the hole you are already in, deeper. Not to mention, it is just going to piss me off more. Nearly every word you've spoken since you entered this room has been beyond insulting to me, but what I find really crazy is that I'm actually more thankful than angry. You have shown me how truly lucky I am to be bonded to a man that isn't afraid to love me... who isn't ashamed of me. You have also unwittingly helped me make my decision."
Spock stops massaging his tender nose for a moment. His now worried gaze bores into Jim.
"And what might that decision be?"
Kirk doesn't answer. Instead he quickly ambles over to the table next to the bed and picks up his PADD. He quickly types in a message and then waits. A small buzzing sound can be heard and Jim watches as Spock pulls his PADD from his pocket. The Vulcan reads the new message quickly and then his head snaps up to glare at the blond.
"Captain, what is the meaning of this? Why have you called a meeting with the senior bridge staff and department head?"
Jim smirks. "I thought that would be obvious. I plan to use that meeting to tell all my senior staff of my decision, but before I can do that I have to tell my bond-mate. He should be the first to know, since he is the most important person to me in any universe.."
The man in yellow saunters to the door and quickly looks over his shoulder at an plainly put-out Spock.
"See you in the main conference room in three hours, Commander."
He is out the door and heading to his quarters before the Vulcan can muster up a response.
Kirk is surprised that he has made it all the way to his quarters without a single member of his crew seeing him. He even managed to find an empty room on his way back and replicate himself a uniform. He thinks it might have something to do with the fact that it is four in the morning and most of the crew is sleeping.
'No one tells you that going into a Vulcan bond related coma will mess up someone's sleep cycle. Vulcan's really need to put warning labels on their bonds. This is shit people really need to know.'
The door opens to Jim's quarters, and as he steps in his eyes try to adjust to the low light that is barely illuminating the room.
'Spock was probably meditating.'
He spends a couple of moments searching for his elusive bond-mate, and when he finds him his breath catches in his throat. Spock is standing in profile at the other side of the room, in front of Jim's bookcase. His hand is caressing the spine of one of the old paperback books, while his eyes scan the title. He repeats this action as he moves to the next book and then the one after that. The Vulcan's lips are tilted up slightly in a small smile. The sight makes Jim's heart feel as though it is going to burst with adoration.
"Hello, James. I hope you don't mind that I am looking through your books. I simply could not hold back when confronted with such a vast personal collection."
Jim shakes his head, while grinning. "Of course I don't mind. You are my husband. What's mine, is yours, Ashayam."
Spock turns around and his eyebrow shoots up has he takes in Kirk's apparel.
"Does Doctor McCoy know that you are no longer in Sickbay or should I be expecting a very angry Southern gentleman barging through your door at any moment? I will say that if that is the case then I will certainly not enjoy it. I find your Leonard McCoy to be somewhat more frightening than mine. He recently informed me that he would surgically remove my chenesi and shoot them out of an airlock if I ever caused you harm. He is an intimidating man, James."
Jim laughs loudly.
"Don't worry about Bones. He is all bark and no bite... well, very little bite."
Jim hesitates for a second before continuing.
"Just to be safe just do as he says and everything should be fine."
Spock strides away from the bookshelf and closer to his bond-mate.
"That will not be a difficulty. I would never intentionally hurt you."
Jim nods knowingly. "I never doubted you, love."
Spock smiles, as his takes another step closer. Jim is nothing but pleased because, he can finally get a good look at him.
"Can I assume that you are here with me because you have reached a decis-"
Jim is confused when Spock cuts himself of and rushes towards him, but he realises what has happened when the Vulcan grabs him by the chin and stares down at his lips. The lips that still feels swollen and are most likely bruised from the kiss he received from the other Spock in sickbay.
'Shit! Shit! Shit!'
"Computer, lights to 75%."
Kirk cringes at the sharp tone of Spock's voice and slams his eyes shut against the sudden brightness. When he opens them again, he finds himself staring into Spock's face, which is twisted in rage. Kirk can see that from one look Spock has realised what has happened.
"He dare touch you? I will rip out his khaf-spol and feed it to a Le-matya, and then let the animal gorge itself on his corpse. His death will bring me immense pleasure."
Jim doesn't know what a khaf-spol is, but it sounds mighty important. Before he even gets the chance to clarify with Spock, the Vulcan has let him go and is marching towards the door purposefully. Kirk is there in a flash and wraps his arms around his bond-mate's waist, pulling him to a stop. He knows that Spock can easily break free of his hold, but he also knows that this Spock wouldn't do anything that could cause him injury, which is what he would need to do if he still is set on killing the other Spock.
"Don't do it, t'hy'la. He isn't worth it. It was one bad kiss and I put a stop to it as soon as I could."
Jim can feel his mate's body stiffen further in his hold.
"He assaulted you, James. As my bond-mate, I am within my right to seek revenge."
Kirk hugs Spock closer to his body and buries his face between the Vulcan's shoulder blades. He places a small kiss there and then rubs cheek against that same spot. His hands find there way under the front of Spock's black shirt and begin rubbing calming circles over his abdomen. His bond-mate's posture relaxes ever so slightly.
"Then you will get your revenge when we tell him and the rest of my crew that I am going back with you."
Jim doesn't know how it happens, but Spock is now somehow facing him and staring down at him with almost unrestrained excitement.
"You are returning with me to my universe?"
Kirk nods and opens the bond between them so that Spock can see everything for himself. He shows him the conversation with McCoy and the one he had with his first officer. He can feel the anger building again in Spock, so he placates it by showing him the realisation he came to thanks to the other Spock. It doesn't kill the fire within the Vulcan, but it cools it to a more manageable level.
'You did not choose him, even after he offered himself to you?'
Apparently this Spock is also pretty good at repessing emotions, because this is the first time Jim actually feels the uncertainty Spock has regarding his counterpart. He has been troubled with thoughts of Jim leaving him for the Vulcan who had known him first. Kirk's heart breaks knowing this was how his love feels, and is resolved to spend the rest of his life making it up to his mate.
'Ashaya, I may have had a crush on him, but I fell in love with you. He could never make me as happy as you have made me in the short time I have known you, and our earlier conversation only solidified that fact.'
Jim begins walking backwards towards the bed, tugging at Spock's waist so that the Vulcan will follow him. The back of his knees hit the bed and he lowers himself onto it. He pulls Spock down on top of him, so that the Vulcan 's body is pressed flush against him. Kirk's hands again travel under Spock's underskirt, up his back and then down to cover his arse. He lifts his hips, grinding himself against his Vulcan bond-mate's obvious arousal.
Jim kisses up the side of Spock's flushed neck, moving over the chiselled jaw until his lips reach a pointed ear. He licks from the lobe up to the point and then places a chaste kiss there. He can feel Spock shudder, and he smiles against the beautiful ear when he hears the Vulcan above him moan.
"You know, this will be the first time I have ever had sex in this bed. It's kind of fitting that I get to christen it with you before I go."
Spock turns his head and attacks Jim's mouth with his own.
'You are talking too much, t'hy'la. I must remedy that immediately.'
Kirk is so caught up in the kiss that he almost doesn't notice when Spock rips open his tunic. The Vulcans lips leave his and begin trailing down his neck and chest. He licks and nibbles around the Humans belly-button, causing Jim to groan. He really wants to comment on the smugness emanating from Spock, but he can't seem to form words at the moment.
'From your silence, I gather that I was successful in my quest. Now, I must focus all my attention on divesting you of your pants and orally pleasuring you.'
Jim is panting now and trying desperately to keep himself from bucking up into Spock's faces, which is hovering over his crotch.
"Sounds... sounds like a good plan to... me."
Spock opens the zipper to his mate's pants and smiles.
"I thought you would see the merit in it."
Spock pulls down Kirk's pants and briefs, and then his mouth descends. Jim gasps and his eyes roll back into his head.
'Best fucking plan ever!'
Jim and Spock manage to get to the conference room fifteen minutes early even thought they thoroughly christened the bed (and the desk, and the wall), got distracted in the shower, and got distracted again when they were getting dressed.
They are standing by the table, hands on each others hips and each nuzzling the other's neck. Kirk shivers as he feels Spock's voice vibrate against his sensitive skin.
"Are you certain of your choice, Ashayam? I am willing to wait if you need more time."
Jim sighs contently and lifts his head, Spock follows suit. They gaze at each other silently for what seems like an eternity before Jim tilts his head up and kisses Spock sweetly on the lips.
'You saying that only makes me want to be with you more. Look into my mind, Spock. I have made my choice. I am going back with you and nothing is going to change my mind. All we need to do is tell my crew.'
Spock traces Jim's bottom lip with his tongue, before cradling it between his lips in a feather soft caress. Kirk moans at the sensation, his lip still sensitive from the bruising it received earlier.
'I wish you had let me use the regenerator on your lip, Ashaya. I hate that he has marked you.'
Jim's mouth presses more urgently against Spock, wishing to deepen the kiss.
'After all our 'activities' I sort of forgot about it. It will heal in no time, and if anything, it acts as a reminder for why I chose you.'
Before they can get any further in their mental conversation, Jim and Spock are startled apart when they hear someone clear their throat near the door. They both glance over to find a somewhat confused and very angry Uhura watching them. Her hands go to her hips and her eyes narrow on Jim.
"So Kirk, could you please tell me why you just kissed my husband and have your dirty mitts all over him?"
Jim flinches at the hard tone of her voice and he tightens his grip on Spock's hips to stop the Vulcan from carrying out the violent actions he can see through their link. He can't believe the other Spock didn't tell his goddamn wife about the situation.
'This just got even more complicated.'
Spock mentally hums in agreement even though most of his thoughts are focused on reminding himself that he was raised by his mother (and Vulcan principles) not to hit women.
Nyota continues to glare at Kirk, completely unaware of the struggle both men are facing because of her.
"Take the hint Kirk. I want you to get your hands off my man... now!"
Spock breaks free of Kirk's hold and stomps over to the the communications officer, who is now smiling victoriously. However, the smile falls when she sees the fury swimming in Spock's eyes.
"I am not now, nor will I ever be your man. Now, apologise to my bond-mate before I truly lose my temper and commit acts of violence against you."
Uhura's eye go wide in shock.
"You're what now?"

Time to tell the rest of the senior crew.
