It’s wedding month so you get an extra flash
Enjoy!
“Would you care to dance?”
Jim was startled by the question. He’d been going over reports on his PADD. He was behind as usual. Why were there so many anyway?
He glanced down at the reports.
“Don’t really have much time.”
“It will not take long. I understand you like the song that they are about to play.”
Jim raised both brows. “Yeah? What song is that?”
“Almost Paradise.”
Jim chuckled. “Uh, yeah. Someone’s pulling your chain.”
“Do you want to dance or not?”
Jim shoved his PADD into a bag. ”Sure it’s your dime.”
“My…dime?”
Jim slid out of the booth. “Come on.”
He moved over to the dance floor of the establishment. The one who asked him followed and put his arm around Jim pulling him close.
“You are on shore leave.”
“Mm. I still have a ton of work to do.”
The song began to play as Spock pulled him even closer, leaning into him.
I thought that dreams belonged to other men
‘Cause each time I got close
They’d fall apart again
I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you?
Oh almost paradise
We’re knockin’ on heaven’s door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
Jim’s heart raced as he lifted his gaze to Spock’s.
“Do you see forever?” Spock asked.
“Is this some sort of proposal?” Jim was half-joking.
“Yes.”
His eyes widened. “What?”
It seems like perfect love’s so hard to find
I’d almost given up
You must have read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They’re finally coming true
I’ll share them all with you
‘Cause now we hold the future in our hand
“What is your answer?”
Jim moved in for Spock’s kiss.
“Yes. I say yes.”

Yep an actual song from the 80s by Mike Reno from Loverboy. There was a chick too but I can’t recall her name
I heard it again a short time ago during a compilation on youtube and I thought it fit them perfectly too!

What do they mean, ‘almost’? It is absolute perfection of paradise!
And I’d pretty much forgotten this song completely.
So – I get my BD fic 2 days early – that’s a huge surprise! (jk! Unless you want it to be. We all know how busy you are.)
And we all thank you. It’s beautiful!

I already have your birthday fic written and scheduled. Did that last week.
It is definitely total paradise, I always thought it was strange to say it was “almost” in the song.

(Can I just say I dread being ’69’? The jokes. I’m seriously willing to skip right to 70. I don’t get it anyway. I’m still a stupid 16 year old in my brain.

I never even thought of the jokes to be honest but yeah I see that, but on the other hand it’s the last year you can say you are in your “sixties”

I’d be fine with jumping to 70s. My 60s have not been a kind decade to me! LOL
