Just as Leonard had promised he came the next day to help Spock restock the messy shelves full of new books. He even alphabetized them, with Spocks help of course. With the small library now ready to open the two men stood at the front desk of the library. Leonard leaned against one of the book shelves and looked at the Vulcan. "So how about going to the coffee shop again today?"
Spock looked away from the poor little worn down book he was fixing up. "You said I needed a break, not two or three."
"I just thought maybe you'd be interested in seeing Jim again. He seemed to take a liking to you." There was a hint of jealousy in Leonard's voice as he spoke.
At the mention of the blonde mans name the Vulcan's cheeks tinged a slight green, he averted his eyes back to the book. "He was a nice man, but I am not looking for a partner. I am only on Earth for a little while till my mother gets feeling better anyways."
Spock's mother was sick, very sick. She was in the hospital under Leonard's teams care, they were doing everything they possibly could for her. But so far even with all the technology they currently had all the tests were turning up negative. No one could figure out what was wrong with her, and Spock was not leaving this planet until his mother was alive and feeling better.
"You know we're trying our best Spock." Leonard glanced down, he felt bad for the Vulcan, with his mother being human she was more prone to disease and sickness then Spock or his father was.
"I understand Leonard." sadness crept its way into Spock's voice, but he quickly cleared his throat and pushed it back. "My father wants to see her, but he can not leave our new planet. With fewer than 10,000 Vulcans left he needs to be there."
"I'm sorry. Tell him we're doing everything we can." Bones walked over and ruffled up Spocks hair. "Cheer up kid. We'll figure this out."
Spock nodded, "Thank you. Perhaps, a break today is just what I need."
A smile spread across Leonard's lips he was happy to see his friend actually doing more than overworking himself. "So you do know how to do more than work yourself to the bone?" The doctor grabbed his small briefcase leaning against the desk. "However, I won't be able to join you this time. I'm scheduled tonight till eleven. So tell Jim I said hey."
Spock gave another nod, "Alright." although Spock was more than just a little nervous to see Jim by himself.
"See ya!" Leonard gave a grin before walking out of the library briefcase in hand.
It was just an hour before closing again when Jim had heard the bell of the door ring, there was a blizzard outside. 'Who could possibly be coming to get coffee in this weather?' Jim thought to himself. As his blue eyes shifted up he was pleased to see a snow covered Vulcan, his red scarf was hugging his neck tightly, and his grey pull over was clinging close to his thin body.
"Spock, right?" Jim spoke up and gave a polite grin to the Vulcan.
The Vulcan shook the snow off himself and gave a small nod, "Yes, and you are Jim if I remember right."
"That's my name." Jim leaned up against the counter and watched as the Vulcan fiddled with his wallet. "Anyway's what can I get you on this freezing cold day?"
Spock didn't even have to look at the menu this time, he just ordered the same as before, "A small green tea, and make it extra warm if you can."
Jim chuckled he grabbed a small cup and turned his back to the Vulcan going to make the drink, "Anything for a cute Vulcan such as yourself."
Once again a small blush crossed the Vulcan's cheeks, if they weren't already green from the cold outside they certainly were green now. Spock was finding it rather hard to conceal his emotions around this man, although he had no idea why.
Jim turned around just minutes later holding a steaming hot drink in his hands, "That'll be $3.50. I'd love to give it you for free again, but Scotty got mad at me for giving away free drinks this morning."
Spock dug out the cash from his wallet, "So you give away free drinks often?"
"Only to the cute ones." Jim smiled taking the money from Spock and handing him the hot drink.
"I hope you're not planning on going back out there, it's a blizzard."
"I will be fine." Spock dumped the change Jim had given back to him into the tip jar.
The blonde shook his head, "There's still about fifty minutes before closing, why not stay and wait till it dies down?"
The Vulcan turned and looked out the window, Jim was right it was nothing but white out there. "I suppose it will not hurt to stay for just a few minutes." Spock slipped himself into a chair and set his drink onto the table in front of him.
"It gives me someone to talk to." Jim grinned and grabbed a rag to wipe down tables.
Jim went around wiping down the tables he tried making small talk with the Vulcan as he did, "So what brings you down here to Earth?"
There was a pause before the Vulcan answered, "My mother, she's human and is currently living down here. She is sick so I came to keep an eye on her and help take care of her"
"Oh." Jim frowned a bit, "I'm sorry to hear that."
"It is fine. I have confidence Leonard and his team will find what her illness is." Spock glanced down at his cup of tea and put it to his lips to sip it carefully.
"Bones is the best doctor I know." Jim reached Spocks table and sat down across from the Vulcan. "And he's my best friend."
Brown eyes met blue as Spock looked up to the man sitting across from him, "Leonard seems to be jealous of your flirting with me."
"Eh, we used to date way back when we were teens. I don't think he ever got over me, but we are still best friends and roommates even." Jim gave a smile, "I've moved on, but I think Bones still gets jealous."
Once again the Vulcan sipped his tea, "I understand. Perhaps you should stop flirting in front of him then."
"That's no fun!" Jim grinned.
"I do not understand you humans." Spock's eyebrows furrowed together.
The blonde chuckled, "I don't think humans understand humans."
Nyota stuck her head out from the back room as she heard Kirk's voice, "Hey, get back to work!"
"I'm just entertaining our customer!" Jim smiled and looked at his coworker. Nyota walked out from the back room, "So this is the Vulcan?"
Jim gave a nod and stood up, "Yup, this is Spock. Spock this is my co worker, Nyota Uhara."
Spock gave a nod towards her, "It is nice to meet you." Spock slowly stood to his feet and looked outside. "I should be leaving. The storm has died down and I need to go see my mother."
Jim smiled, "It was nice talking to you. I hope you'll come back." Kirk held his hand out for the Vulcan to shake.
Spock reached out and took the man's hand, "I do like the tea here. And the service is great. I believe I will be back." The Vulcans lips turned up the slightest into a smile.
"Great." Jim grinned, he watched Spock tighten the scarf around his neck and walk out the door. Making sure to check out the Vulcans behind.
"You need to stop flirting with the customers." Nyota sent a glare towards Jim.
"Yeah sure, whatever you say." Kirk waved his hand and walked back behind the cash register. "It's not like he seemed to mind anyways."
