“Are you angry with me?” Spock asked his captain, his…boyfriend, he amended in his own mind. Recently acquired, but acquired, nonetheless.
Jim lounged on the couch in his quarters. This new Enterprise had much larger quarters than the old one that had been destroyed on Altamid.
He wore his pajama bottoms and a form fitting t-shirt and had barely acknowledged Spock since he’d come in.
Blue eyes rose to his from the book he was reading. “Should I be?”
Spock thought about it. Decided to answer truthfully, in his opinion, “Negative.”
A slight smirk was his answer. “Then you have your answer.” His gaze went back to his book.
“However, it seems, plain to me, that you are, in fact.”
“What makes you believe that?”
“You are behaving very dismissive.” Spock paused. “If it is out of jealousy, I assure you there is nothing you need feel jealous over.”
“No?”
“The female, Droxine—”
“Was all over you, yes, I saw.”
Spock pursed his lips. He is definitely onto the source of Jim’s annoyance. “I did not encourage her.”
“Nor did you discourage her.”
“I was attempting to learn information from her necessary to our mission.” He paused again. “Similar to how you did with the woman Sylvia.”
Jim frowned. “That was not the same.”
“Indeed. You kissed her. I did not kiss Droxine.”
“Well.”
“Jim, I assure you there is no one that has my affections but you.”
Jim inhaled then and slowly exhaled. “Okay. This is still very…”
“New, yes.”
“I was going to say raw. I don’t like this feeling of jealousy. I felt it enough when you were with—”
“Jim,” Spock interrupted. He went to the couch, sat down, and drew Jim into his arms. “I love you. And no other. You are my t’hy’la.”
Jim smiled against him and snuggled in against Spock’s neck. “You know I love you, too. So much.”
“I know what it is to feel jealous,” Spock admitted. “I have felt that way toward you with your interaction with…anyone.”
“Yeah?”
“Indeed. I try to…repress it.”
Jim kissed him. “There will never be anyone for me but you, Spock. For the rest of my days.”
“Of which there better be many.”
He laughed. “Yes.”
“And for me, it is the same. Always.”

Recently acquired but acquired nonetheless.
Perfection!
I love this honest talk about jealousy bc sometimes it can’t be help and it’s not a negative emotion so much as can have negative actions and reactions. I love that they laid it all out.
They’re adorable. And lovely. And loving.
I loved it!

Yes I know I am in the minority here but I find a little bit of jealousy kind of romantic though we are taught to believe it is all negative

And yeah, there it is.
I’m sure that is exactly right. That even when Spock was with Nyota, I’m guessing he had jealous feelings. He might not have understood why. But since that moment with his hands grasping Jim’s neck, he knew – had to know or at least had to have an inkling – that Jim was T’hy’la.
And that would include the beginnings of jealousy. Even for a half Vulcan.
Great job!

Spock is certainly clueing into human emotions. He picked up that Jim is upset, that he’s indeed jealous although Jim agrees with Spock that he has his answer. Spock pushes his luck saying that he didn’t kiss Droxine as jim kissed Sylvia. Lol!!!
It’s cute how they are jealous of one another. Spock’s saying he’s jealous of Jim and anyone is very telling. He’s possessive and Jim is his.
The ending, with them promising their love forever, is very romantic.
These two are sweeties, T’hy’las and no Droxine or Sylvia can change that.
❤️💚😘🖖
