An extra with a cliffy for ya until Monday
Everything had been going well between them until Spock tripped on a rock coming out of the restaurant and fell to his knees on the hard pavement.
It wasn’t like him to be clumsy, but his shoe rolled on the rock and down he went.
Spock felt his trousers tear at the knee where he fell and the sting of pain from the tearing of his flesh there.
“Spock!” Jim cried out, reaching for him, but it was too late, and the damage had been done. “Are you okay?”
“I am…undamaged.” Spock paused. “Mostly.”
“Yeah, you fell right on your knees. That had to smart.”
Jim hooked a hand under Spock’s arm to help him stand. His gaze went to the tear at Spock’s trousers.
“Looks like you scraped your knees. Ripped your pants too.”
Spock tried very hard not to panic. But it was summer and still quite daylight as they left the restaurant.
“I will take care of it back at the hotel room,” he said, trying for calm, though his heart raced hard in his side.
Jim was staring at his damaged knees though. His expression hadn’t changed or anything, but he was definitely staring there.
His gaze rose then, blue eyes searching Spock’s face. Spock expected to see some kind of recoil in those eyes that had become so precious to Spock, but there was no hint of anything like that.
“Yes, there should be a first aid kit there. Let’s go,” Jim replied.
He hooked his arm in Spock’s arm like there was nothing out of the ordinary and Spock began to believe that he had made a very close escape.
Outside the hotel office, Jim smiled just a bit. “Wait out here. I’m going to ask them for first aid stuff. Be right back.”
Spock watched as Jim flirted with the desk clerk, who produced supplies to Jim in a small paper bag.
Jim returned. “Lord, that was a pain.”
“Meaning?”
“I had to swear up and down you didn’t fall on the grounds and we wouldn’t sue. California’s a litigious state, my friend.” He grinned. “Come on, let’s get you taken care of.
They made their way to the room and Jim let them in.
Spock reached for the bag. “I’ll just go into the bathroom and clean this up myself.”
Jim held tight to the bag. “I saw, Spock.”
“Jim?”
“Want to tell me why you have green blood?”

Dum-dee-dum….. You and these cliffies! Well at least Jim didn’t react. Now hopefully Spock can confess that he’s from Vulcan. Time for truthfulness! At least, I’m hoping. I’m thinking that Jim will be more understanding than Spock believes.
Ughhh having to wait for the next update. ❤️💚😘🖖 👽🛸

I didn’t get notice of this when it did finally post. That’s concerning. I just decided to go searching around and here it is.
And yeah, I did NOT see that coming. Wow. And to give us a Saturday flash – like Mother’s Day gift!!! I’ll take it!
At least Jim doesn’t seem at ALL freaked out. That’s gotta mean something big.
Hope they get to continue their romantic weekend.

That’s my fault. It only sends the notice out once. If you delete it and repost it another notice does not go out
Jim is definitely not freaked out

Ominous musical scores are not my forte!
I did see your ao3 post (singular?) (I’ll check to see if it’s more than one?). but I slept alll day yesterday… woke up at 11:30pm for my midnight shift (got to work at 12:10am!!! and didn’t have time to do my usual go back and read the previous chapter or two before reading the new one …Because Work was a Beast!!👿👹. And tonight Saturday night staffing looks like $hit! Actually Sunday night too.
I’m regretting not taking Monday night (the night before my birthday) off. I’m Praying that Monday night is at least less nuts!
