A confession from deep in your heart

[newsockfeeling]

 

THE LOVE CONFESSIONS MEME

Confessions of feelings are rarely as nice and romantic as they seem in the Hollywood flicks. Sometimes, they're screamed across an empty house as someone leaves. Others, they whispered across white pillow cases as bodies lie close together in the dark. Of course, these feelings may not be returned, but it may be the only shot you have.

If you even meant to spill, anyway.

Prompts

1. Planned: You've been planning to tell this person how you feel, and you know exactly the way to do it.

2. Spontaneous: Uh-oh, it just slipped out! Maybe you weren't thinking, maybe it was a fight, but somehow, your secret's out.

3. Heat of the Moment: What's better than calling someone's name out in the trows of passion? Why, telling them you love them, of course!

4. The Last Time: You're coming clean with your feelings because you're dying, moving away, leaving the planet, going to war, whatever. Might as well when you'll probably never see them again.

5. Jealousy: You've seen the one you love in the arms of another, and you just have to let your feelings be known so they don't end up with the wrong person! Selfish, what's selfish?

6. Drunk: A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, so maybe you should be careful what you say, or you'll be telling your best friend you have the hots for her. Awkward.

7. Lie: You don't actually have feelings for this person, but you need them to believe that you do in order to use them, get something, or perhaps to not hurt their feelings.

8. Sweet: You confess...and they feel the same, and have wanted to say it for a while. Oh, how cute! Go on and enjoy your cute little romance.

9. One-sided: One of you confessed, but it's completely unrequited. Can you still be friends, or is that too painful?

10. Forbidden: Your love for this person is totally uncool - not allowed, even. But it has to be brought to light, preferably by you.

11. Unfulfilled: While you both love each other, you decided mutually that this can't go any further.

12. WILDCARD

"What was that like, having a clinic in your home? Was he the only rural doctor in the area? How did he handle emergencies?" three hours in the country. Spock couldn't imagine it, being raised in a city. His parents' estate was on the outskirts of Shi'kar where they had plenty of room but he was still a city kid even if he wandered into the desert wastes to be alone.

"My mother was a teacher as well. Did yours enjoy her work?"

[damnitman]

Leonard laughs softly, "He was the doctor for the area yeah, and if anyone had anything serious... Atlanta Gen would send an emergency shuttle." He says easily. "My Ma, loved teaching, was never in her class though, she wanted to stay mom, I'm happy for that... in a lot of ways... kept home at home and school at school." He laughs softly.

"What about your Mom?" He asks keeping up the contact under the table putting his chin in his hand.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"He must have known the surrounding population very well. You must have, too. Did you decide to become a doctor after his example?" he leaned in when Len put his chin in his hand. They had to leave to get dessert but he was so captivated, he didn't want to leave just now.

"My mother loved teaching as well, most of my education came from her even though I attended school. She brought many human traditions into our home and my childhood. Many of them were without my father's knowledge, I did not realize until I was an adult. I used to think they were so numerous but now... I wonder if she ever felt lonely on Vulcan. It was difficult for her to socialize, she was very much an outsider among my people. It is only now that I can appreciate the gravity of her choice to come with my father to his home planet."

[damnitman]

"Yeah... he knew everyone...." He laughs shaking his head a little more amused then anything, "So did my Ma, and everyone knew me." He snorts, "Couldn't get away with a thing." He shakes his head with more amusement.

"She might have been lonely, but she was probably also trying to make sure you understood it was more then okay, that you are part human, just like your dad was probably trying to make sure you understood that you are part Vulcan as well." He says easily hand moving so his fingers are tracing Spock's.

"She probably did it because she loved your dad... and you." He shrugs. "Humans will do a lot for love."

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

He smiled just a bit. "I understand that. As Sarek's son, it was deeply frowned upon to cause trouble, I had more attention due to his position as an ambassador and as a hybrid."

Spock relaxed his hand as his fingers were traced. His eyes nearly closed, his lips parted.

"Yes, I know that... vulcans will too... in ancient times it was not unheard of to murder a rival mate for your chosen one." he closed his fingers around Leo's hand once he had enough of the finger tracing. Well, in truth he'd never have enough but he wanted to be able to head into public without a tent in his pants.

"My father was very dominant in my upbringing, he wanted me to follow the vulcan way, he chided any human outburst. When I was young, I was the subject of ridicule among my peers for being a hybrid. I... fought one child. My parents argued about it, my mother defended me and my humanity, my father insisted that was precisely why I was being bullied." as if it was justified or just natural.

[damnitman]

"Getting bullied is never right... it hurts people even Vulcans..." he says squeezing Spock's hand a little and leaning in to give him a soft kiss. "You have anger issues... you get in a lot of fights.." He teases a little.

"Them making fun of you for things outside your control... sounds a touch illogical." He says smirking at Spock a little.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"I have anger issues?" he raised an eyebrow. He hadn't considered himself an angry person but... he wondered now. Had Leonard seen something in him he wasn't aware of? He likes the hand squeeze but he's thinking enough that the kiss doesn't really grab his attention and he doesn't return it.

"It is illogical however that was not a criticism they were prepared to accept. I attempted at one point to remind my fellow students about the IDIC values but to no avail."

[damnitman]

He laughs "Not in a bad way..." he points out, "But you get firery when you care about something, or when you're buttons are pushed." He smiles at Spock easily.

"But see Spock, they were kids and didn't care..." He reminds him, "But now look at you, best first officer in the fleet, and you have an amazing boyfriend." He laughs softly.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"I do admit to that, I..." well Leonard has seen two moments where he became violent. He cringed at times to reflect on the moment he nearly killed Jim on Enterprise. Even if the man was trying to instigate something.

"You are right." he said after a pause. He took Leonard's hand in his own, pressing his lips to the knuckles. "You do amaze me. Now... before any more distractions come up. I believe I owe you dessert."

[damnitman]

"You do, and just what are you thinking about getting me?" He smiles closing the distance and giving Spock a soft kiss. "I'm sure there is something around here."

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

Spock would like to give Leonard more kisses or perhaps even more if the evening led them in that direction but that was his libido talking.

"There are many things around here, doctor. However, there is a specialty cafe nearby specializing in desserts and baked goods. I would like to explore it with you." he stands, tugging Leo's hand. From there it's a quick walk out of his place, down to the ground level and the cafe itself isn't far at all. And it's loaded with mouthwatering cakes and treats in glass displays.

[damnitman]

Leonard smiles easily, and looks at the various treats, he lets out a soft hum. "I think I'm going to go with the strawberry short cake." He says smiling at Spock. "What are you going to get?" He asks arching a brow, he's tempted to take Spock's hand but instead he just stands with in Spock's personal bubble.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"Anything you wish, Leonard." he thinks slowly as he looks over the options. They all look enticing but one, in particular, catches his interest. He orders Len's shortcake and a chocolate tuxedo cake.

"Do you wish to eat them here or at my apartment?" Leo is allowed in his personal bubble right now. Or ever. Any time. Right now he just likes having him near and he might step closer to make sure they are in each others' bubbles as they move through the cafe.

[damnitman]

"Hmmm it's nice being out, but you seem pretty keen on gettin' me back inside your apartment..." He laughs standing shoulder to shoulder. "So the choice is up to you."

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"Let's return to my dwelling. I find I do not wish to remain in public right now." he pays for their desserts and leads Len back to the apartment. Spock hadn't had chocolate in.... well ever. He was eager to taste his cake. He may or may not have a huge sweet tooth.

[damnitman]

They get back to Spock's apartment and he settles them on to the couch, and opens the container and taking a bite of his dessert and lets out a pleased sound. "Oh this is good..." He says warm and easy.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"I am pleased. I anticipated this establishment was good quality, it is crowded every day I have observed and I have seen days where it closed early from selling out." he sat next to Leonard and opened his container. One bite was enough to give him pause. Flavor exploded in his mouth, divine texture, so rich, so light and yes dense in the right places. Each layer of cake was its own experience.

"Indeed it is remarkable. We must return to this cafe soon." and he wants to inhale this cake, chocolate is delicious. He knows why humans crave it so much.

[damnitman]

"Maybe try some of their savory things." He nods licking some of the whipped cream off his fork, and tucking back into the strawberry shortcake. "You want to try some of mine?" He asks grinning a little.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"I would. I will trade you for a bite of my own." he offers Len a fork of his chocolate tuxedo cake and gratefully tries the strawberry.

"They are both delicious. Thank you. Vulcan did not have foods that were purely for enjoyment. It is nice to indulge." Spock has a new favorite. When the dessert was finished he was already feeling different. Lighter, almost bubbly. He wanted to touch Leonard, wanted to pet his hair and nuzzle into his neck.

So he did.

[damnitman]

He finishes his own dessert and sets the container on the coffee table and lets out a soft laugh at the feeling of Bones petting through his hair and nuzzling him.

"What's crawled into you." He chuckles warmly.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"Nothing crawled into me, I simply feel...." well that was enough of a scandalous statement for his people. He felt and he admitted he felt something.

"I just want to be close to you." as his hands snaked around Leo and pulled him in close. Spock kissed his cheek a bit clumsily.

[damnitman]

Leonard moves easily into Spock's lap as he is tugged, and nuzzled, and kissed, by Spock. "You seem a little drunk." He laughs pushing his fingers through Spock's hair. "Or well more relaxed then you normally are."

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"Alcohol does not affect me, Leonard." he closed his lips over his love's mouth. "I am more relaxed because I am near you. Do not overthink it... just relax with me. Stay close." he held Len against him, kissed his face, his eyelids, his brow. His Leonard, his beloved Leonard.

[damnitman]

"I know that... also we didn't have anything to drink..." He chuckles settling into Spock's personal space, one finger tracing Spock's ear grinning a little. "All we had was some cake..." He chuckles a little kissing Spock softly.

[its_all_in_the_eyebrows]

"Yes, though I have so much more now. I have you." and indeed, Spock's gaze held so much esteem. It was like Len was his new god. His higher calling. He sighed as his ear was touched. He framed Len's face in his hands and kisses him gently, then a little harder, then longer. "Sugar is pleasant but my joy does not come from it, right now it is for you. for myself... for us, Leonard.... never leave my side."
