[He stares at Spock for a moment processing. The Vulcan's meaning dawns on him and he blinks, a strange tension seeming to string his body in place.] Oh. You mean... emotional meaning.

[This is dangerous territory. He can't seem to make himself move away from Spock, though.]

[spohkh]

[Spock pulls away from his Captain... afraid of the rejection.

He stands by the balcony, hands clasped behind his back, staring at the stars once more.]

My apologies Captain. If it is your desire, we can go on has we have and we do not have to mention this dance ever happened. [Because he cannot do this you see... he has feelings for his Captain.]

[thetisfortenacious]

[Jim lets his arms drop, frowning after Spock as he withdraws.] That's not my desire. [He feels like something is slipping away, something that will be gone forever if he doesn't act, so he steps forward and grabs Spock's shoulder to turn him.] If we don't go on as we have, how else do we go?

[spohkh]

[He is surprised by the contact, but he tentatively faces Jim when he is turned.
Spock's eyes are once again expressing sadness as he looks at his Captain...]

That is entirely up to you Captain.

[thetisfortenacious]

I don't think it is, Spock. I think this is something we need to figure out together. [He steps closer, fingers flexing against the material of Spock's dress uniform.]

[spohkh]

[Spock places his hand on top of Jim's... and studies his Captain's face....]

If I am wrong, then I do not wish to jeopardize our working relationship.

[thetisfortenacious]

[Jim frowns slightly.] Do you really think anything could jeopardize our working relationship after how rocky a start we got?

[spohkh]

[Spock tightens his grip on Jim's hand..]

Do you know why I ended my relationship with Lieutenant Uhura?

[thetisfortenacious]

[He glances down at their hands, takes a moment to consider.] No. There were rumors, speculations, but I didn't put much stock in them.

[spohkh]

[Spock rubs a thumb across Jim's knuckles... reveling in the contact.] I ended our relationship because I was in love with another...

[thetisfortenacious]

...I see. [Anxious energy makes Jim shift his weight, heart suddenly pounding against his ribcage.] So, this other person... [He makes himself meet Spock's gaze.]

[spohkh]

[Spock inhales, as though gathering strength...]

...is my Captain.

[thetisfortenacious]

[Something like heat and electricity shivers through him, shooting down his spine. It's similar to an adrenaline rush but without the pressing danger.] You're... in love with me.

[He doesn't think, just acts, leaning in to press his mouth firmly against Spock's.]

D'awwwwwwwWWW! XD

[spohkh]

[Spock is shocked at the press of lips to his own.... but he quickly recovers.
Wrapping his arms around Jim, he presses into the kiss...

This is more than he could ever imagine.]

[thetisfortenacious]

[It's too easy to get lost in the embrace and he bites at Spock's bottom lip. He has to pull back a moment later to breathe, though.] You should say it again.

[spohkh]

[Spock's head follows Jim's when he pulls away... but he manages to refrain and open his eyes.]

I... I love you.. Jim...

[Spock said Jim's name with wonderment...]

[thetisfortenacious]

[Those words are like a hit to Jim's system, the perfect drug. He recaptures Spock's mouth, pushing him back against the railing of the balcony.]

[spohkh]

[Spock moves willingly with Jim..his Jim...

One of his hands is grasping at Jim's hair... the other hand snakes down and entwines with Jim's fingers.
The dual sensation causes tingles to travel up his arms... and it makes his mind sing...]

[thetisfortenacious]

[He licks into Spock's mouth, free hand splaying flat against the Vulcan's chest. He's completely forgotten their setting, absorbed in Spock; the feel and taste of him.]

[spohkh]

[Spock has never felt such elation... he moans into the kiss and accepts Kirk's intrusion.
It is a delicious battle of tongues as Spock strokes their fingers together. The 'buzzing' in his mind that is caused by that action is very pleasant.]

[thetisfortenacious]

[Jim swallows Spock's moan, echoing it with one of his own. The knowledge that he made the Vulcan lose control enough to moan is heady and he presses further into him, suddenly hard against his hip.]

[spohkh]

[Spock unconsciously moves against Jim, completely and utterly drunk off the sensations.
He wants nothing more than to remain in this embrace...

But he remembers that they are at a diplomatic event... in a public area.
Spock attempts to speak between the soul wrenching kisses...]

Captain... Jim.... We... Gasp... We cannot do this here...

[thetisfortenacious]

[Spock's words are enough to temporarily douse his arousal. With a last, lingering kiss, he forces himself to break away from Spock.] You're right. Sorry.

[spohkh]

[Spock suddenly grabs his Captain by the shoulders, and leans his forehead against Jim's...]

You never have to apologise for this...

We will merely have to continue this at a later time... if you are amenable.

[thetisfortenacious]

[He smiles, taking a moment to just breathe in Spock's scent, his presence.] And you never have to ask if I'm amenable.
