“Do you understand what I’m telling you, Spock?”
“Yes, Doctor. Jim does not recall that we are together.”
McCoy nodded. “Yep. I’m sorry. I think he’s going to come out of the amnesia but it could take a bit of time.”
“Can I still go and see him?”
“Sure. But don’t expect a loving, romantic reunion, is all I’m saying.”
Spock arched a brow. “I won’t be long.”
McCoy patted his arm. “I’ll give you some privacy.”
Spock entered the area containing Jim’s biobed. He had his eyes closed and still looked pale to Spock. He opened his eyes when Spock approached.
“Hi,” Jim said softly.
“Captain.”
“Bones said, um, that you and I are…”
“Yes.”
Jim shook his head. “Strange.”
“And why is that?”
“We once hated each other.”
“I never hated you. But even still, that was a long time ago. Even prior to our relationship we had become friends,” Spock gently reminded him.
“Yeah. I know. Just…I don’t know what I’m trying to say. Sorry.”
“You owe no apology,” Spock told him. “Please rest. I will come again later.”
Spock turned away in disappointment even as Jim went back to closing his eyes. It was temporary, he tried to remind himself. Surely it was so.

It has to be temporary. Please. I’m with you Spock.
Not that I don’t think they’d start all over again if they had to but man. It would break my heart. And Spock’s.
I am LOVING this.

Temporary indeed. But somehow, I think even if Jim never remembered, it would all happen again. And again as often as need be. There is a cord between them that can never be completely severed. Will just strengthen and grow through the years, no matter what.
Still, I certainly look forward to the next installment!

Poor Spock needs a hug! He’s so despondent. Of course, even if Jim was never to recover his memories, and even if he totally forgot Spock, he’d fall in love with him again and again! 💕 This reminds me of a story I just heard on the news, a man with early onset Alzheimer’s forgot that he had married his wife. He proposed and they were remarried.
❤️💚😘🖖
