Jim sat on a rock as far away from other people as he could get. He needed some time for himself after all that had happened. His fight with Khan, then Spock died, then he was alive again, his son had died and now they were all on Vulcan. Bones was back to normal but Spock wasn't.
"Jim? Are you alright?" someone asked.
He turned around and saw Spock standing there. His heart skipped a beat but he couldn't even admit to himself why that was the case.
"Spock? How long have you been standing there? Come, sit down. I just wanted to be alone for a while." he answered, knowing that for Spock he didn't have to be the strong Admiral who always knew what to do. With Spock he could be himself.
"You needed a break from being the strong one. Everyone has their breaking point, Jim. Even you." Spock answered and sat down next to him.
"I know where my breaking point is, Spock. It was when I saw you on the other side of that glass." Jim turned and looked Spock in the eyes. "I can't live without you."
Spock suddenly took his hand. Knowing about Spock's telepathic abilities he tried to shield his feelings for Spock, but without success, because suddenly Spock send him his own feelings.
"Spock?" was the only thing he was able to say, not daring to believe that the most important person in his life returned his feelings.
"Yes, I do return your feelings, Jim. I didn't know until now that you have feelings, too." Spock said softly.
Jim suddenly began to shake and slowly everything went blank. The last thing he saw was Spock's worried face as he was looking down on him.
