“If we actually get out of this,” Jim paused, as he fired his phasers at the village’s invaders, “we should get married.”
Spock broke his concentration to glance briefly at his captain. “What?”
“I said, if we actually get out of this, we should get married.”
“Yes, that is what you said,” Spock agreed. “You and me?”
Jim fired again. “Well, yeah, obviously.”
“Why is that obvious?”
“Who else would I mean?”
Spock stopped to fire his own phaser and then duck behind a boulder. “We are not engaged in a relationship.”
“Well, if we were married, we would be, wouldn’t we?”
“I cannot argue with that logic.”
Jim grinned. “I think you just called me logical. Coming from you that is a love confession.”
“I believe,” Spock said dryly, “I said I could not argue with you. And that is because there is no point.”
“Exactly.” Jim’s grin widened. “And by the way, I love you too.”
Spock frowned. “I did not say I love you.”
“But you do.”
“Captain—”
“Scott to Captain Kirk.”
Jim paused as he flipped open his communicator. “Go ahead, Scotty.”
“Ready to beam you and Mister Spock out now.”
“Great. Energize.”
Spock felt the disorienting sense of his particles breaking up and being transported back to the Enterprise.
He glanced at his captain as Jim stepped down and greeted Mr. Scott.
“That was a close one. Thanks, Scotty.”
“Aye, Captain. Glad to have you both safely back aboard. Admiral Lowinsky awaits your report.”
Jim nodded and turned to Spock. “Well, Commander, what’s your answer?”
Spock arched a brow. “I believe the proper response is, I do.”

Ha! Oh I love this pair. Jim just throwing it out while they’re fighting for their life and interpreting Spock’s response however he wants. I mean, of course he was right but ha! This made me grin so big and gave me all the good feels!

OK that’s just doggone brilliant! I can see it going just like that!
Please please put on ao3. This just has to be out there for everyone!!
It’s just…..the logical choice!
This is instantly in my top ….15, I’ll say, just so I’m sure to not
be lying about the number. This is just awesome – THIS is how Star
Trek 4 should…OK, I’ll give it the entire movie – this is how it
should end and set up ST 5!!
Brilliant!

I’ve read this five times today. I absolutely love it. First of al,l I love the photo. They always have each other’s back. It’s like the still from the movie where Jim is covering Spock as he melds with the downed Romulan. There is a trust between them that goes soul deep.
Your text is just perfect! Love the cheekiness of Jim proposing as they fight for their lives, especially since they aren’t even in a relationship! Lol!
Spock’s responses are so Spock. Love the delayed “I do”. Double meaning. It answers the question and it’s the wedding vow at the same time!!
Every written line is a gem!!
This ought to be on ao3.
Sorry it took me all day to respond. RL has been kicking my butt lately. This story is just freakin’ awesome! 🥰
❤️💚😘🖖
