Happy Independence Day 2021

A little mini flash for your enjoyment…

 โ€œSo, what do you think?โ€

Spock turns his gaze away from the display exploding over the water in the distance.

โ€œIt is a dazzling display,โ€ Spock agrees. โ€œThough a waste of resources.โ€

Jim smiles, moving closer. He puts his hand under Spockโ€™s forearm. Spock continues to stare into his eyes. In Spockโ€™s dark eyes, Jim swears he sees the reflection of the fireworks over the city.

โ€œYouโ€™re missing the show,โ€ he murmurs.โ€

โ€œWhat I am looking at is far more beautiful than the fireworks.โ€

โ€œOh, now youโ€™re trying to get me into bed with you.โ€

Spock nods which just makes Jimโ€™s smile widen.

He turns to gaze at the explosion of blue, red, yellow, pink. Itโ€™s beautiful over the ocean. And weirdly he feels closer to Spock in that moment than he had ever felt before. He is aware Spock continues to watch him. Itโ€™s exhilarating to have the Vulcanโ€™s riveted attention.

Jim looks at Spock again, lowering his lashes flirtatiously.

โ€œIโ€™m at your mercy,โ€ he says, softly.

Spock puts a hand, just his fingers, really, on Jimโ€™s jaw, tilting his face upward for Spockโ€™s kiss. Jim has heard Vulcans kiss with their hands, but Spock kisses this way and each time itโ€™s like the renewal of life. ย ย 

โ€œCome, a bed awaits us.โ€

Jim spares a last glance at the fireworks display and allows himself to be led inside. It will be their first time and the anticipation nearly has him undone.

Spock glances around the room. โ€œWhat is Christmas in July?โ€

Jim laughs,, tugs him toward the bedroom. โ€œIโ€™ll tell you later.โ€

    2 holidays in one!!! Only you could pull that together.

    How positively perfectly co-dependence day – or well, a few hours of the evening at least. In the very best way! The harbor fireworks has nothing on these guys.

    Can’t believe you surprised us with a gift flash for Christmas in July/Independence Day! What joy.

    And what are you doing this Independence weekend? I wanted to ask earlier but thought I’d wait till today, hoping you’d post an image or something. I love surprises.๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‡๐Ÿงจ๐Ÿงจโœจโœจโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅฐ

      I threw this together yesterday because I wanted a flash of them watching the fireworks. ๐Ÿ™‚
      Well last night I went to the cousin’s house as her city does fireworks on the 3rd. We had a perfect view and it was really lovely to see them again this year after missing them last. Today going over to sisters for swimming and a barbecue and then will watch our city’s fireworks from her back yard ๐Ÿ™‚
      Hope you are seeing the family sometime this weekend!

        TY. Yes, today and fireworks tonight.

        I’m so glad you’re having a full weekend with loved ones and TWO fireworks shows, and can see them from home. I’m jealous! Here I am on the edge of country and I haven’t heard ONE firecracker or anything! I’m shocked. In the last city, you’d hear them for days before and after, all illegal! ๐Ÿ™‚

        Oh here too. In fact the neighbor by her house last night was letting off their own, super loud, too, and they were the expensive pretty ones, also quite illegal. Yes we definitely have a full weekend planned ๐Ÿ™‚
        I’m very glad to hear you are going. I think you just live too much in the boonies now to see much LOL

    Happy 4th of July! Got quite a surprise when I saw this in my notifications. Love it and the promise it holds for our boys. Spock being enthralled looking at Jim is perfect!
