The bridge crew was watching the lift door eagerly. Scotty had placed a sprig of mistletoe above it, chuckling slightly maniacally, as all of them had just got frustrated with the Captain and the First Officer's complete denial to acknowledge that they had feelings for each other. Even Bones had come up, and was standing in front of the railing. The door opened and they walked out, talking to each other. Bones held up a hand. "Stop." Jim frowned at him, but stopped and put a hand in front of Spock. "Why are we stopping?" Bones grinned and gestured upwards. Jim looked up and grinned wryly, but went to move forwards. Bones stepped forward and pushed him back. "Captain, why is there a branch of… I believe it is mistletoe above our heads?" Spock enquired. "Old earth tradition, Spock. The crew's pranking us." As he stepped forward again, Scotty and Uhura came up from either side. "Really, guys?" "Really." Scotty affirmed. "We're getting tired of this." Sulu added. Jim slowly started to smile and stepped back. He lifted his chin up and looked at Bones. "Go for it." the doctor mouthed. Spock had stood there, looking utterly confused, through all of this. He grinned and kissed a still completely confused, and now surprised Spock. Spock stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and found Jim's hand. When Jim stepped back a minute later, Spock brought him back up again. "Oh good." he said slightly breathlessly on his way back to Spock's mouth. They broke apart, both catching breath, and Jim put his head on Spock's shoulder momentarily. "Wow, you're good at that." He straightened up and saw the rest of the bridge crew all grinning happily at them "Hey, get back to your stations. Show's over." They scattered, and Jim smiled. "We should probably do that ourselves." he said unwillingly. Spock straightened and went to his station. Jim stared after him, shook his head slightly and went to his chair. "You're pursuing that later." Bones whispered. "Yep, definitely." Jim nodded, slightly dazed. "Good, just making sure." he replied and got into the lift to go to sickbay.
