“I love you.”
Jim fired his phaser. “What?”
“I am in love with you.”
Jim ducked down as a disruptor was fired in his direction. He returned fire.
“Okay, well, this really isn’t the time, Mr. Spock.”
Spock fired from across the corridor. “Agreed. But it is never the time.”
“When we return—”
“The odds are not in our favor that we will return to the Enterprise, certainly not intact, therefore, it stands to reason, logical even, that should I not be the one who returns intact or otherwise—”
“You’re giving me a bitch of a headache, Spock.”
“Acknowledged. And speaking of acknowledgement.”
Jim spared him a glance before looking back at the enemy. “What?”
“Do you, perhaps, return my regard or not?”
“Really? We’re going to do this now?”
“Jim.”
“Fine. Yes. Yes. My regard is the same. Can we concentrate on—”
“Spock to Enterprise. Two to beam up.”
“Wait. Seriously? You had them on standby all this time?”
“Affirmative.”

Oh I see what he did there, waiting that few extra moments to make sure he had the opportunity to tell Jim before he had them beamed back so that Jim would have to hear it. And so that Spock could finally say the words. Perfect!

This was good. Just imagine the look Jim is giving him when they are back on the ship

Well, that Vulcan flat out lied – the chances of returning intact. I mean, he didn’t, as his elder self, imply or any such thing.
WTG, Spock. I feel like I was in a scene in the movie – I could actually hear each of them talking, as though I was remembering what I watched last night. This was ultimate perfection. Sneaky indeed.
Vulcan lying liars who lie. And of course that was the logical thing to do to get Jim to admit his heart. LOVE THIS. And wow, 3 great flashes last week and this being the 2nd of 4 this week. Spoiled rotten I am.

Yes! You are all spoiled rotten 🙂
But what else should you be?
Yes Spock manipulated that perfectly, didn’t he? ❤

What else should I be? I’d say, richer, thinner, younger, prettier, Mrs. Chris Pine. So if you can get right on those too, I’m ready any time! haha
But yeah, 6th choice would be spoiled rotten reading your flashes/fics! Thank you for holding a firm 6th place.

Oh, this is brilliant. I love it. Sneaky, sneaky Spock, I love that he’s keeping the Enterprise on hold to get the opportunity to say those words and have Jim hear and acknowledge them. Wonderful!

Love sneaky Spock forcing a “deathbed” confession out of Jim. Wow! Just love it. Now I want to see their conversation and whatever happens next after beaming back to the Enterprise.
❤️💚🖖😘
Oh and I apparently missed a huge chunk of my email notifications, cause I never saw this one either. Can’t blame it on ao3 this time! Just me missing them! 🤦🏻♀️
