A bit of silliness today.
“What is that?”
Jim looked over his shoulder at Spock, who had just come into Jim’s quarters from their shared bathroom.
“It’s a ghost.”
“A ghost?”
Jim grinned as he finished hanging the “ghost” from his ceiling. It was a round ball covered in a white sheet with glowing red eyes, and with a remote control it would wiggle and fly a bit with spooky music playing. He stepped off the step stool.
“I had this when I was a kid. When we had that break on Earth recently and I saw my mom I asked her if I could have it.”
“Why?”
“She was going to throw it away if you can believe it.”
Spock eyed it. “I can believe it.”
Jim laughed. “It’s spooky season so I wanted to hang it up.”
“So it will normally not be hanging from the ceiling?”
“No, I guess not.” Jim grabbed the remote and pressed it, grinning madly while Spock watched it with undisguised derision. When it was still once more, Jim grabbed Spock and kissed him. “How about that chess game?”
Much later, in the middle of the night, Jim turned it on again, cackling when Spock sat straight up in bed.
When Spock rose, his hair standing on end, his hands on his hips, he glared at Jim.
“That’s it. We are sleeping in my quarters.”

That WAS cute!
And at least Spock didn’t say HE was leaving and sleeping in his quarters.
Still joined at the hip.
But I sooooo want to see Spock with his hair standing on end!!!

That was fun! Love seeing Jim being cute and nostalgic. Tiny glimpse into a happy memory from his childhood. 👻🎃
Love how he’s using it to tease Spock. Just having it hanging up was baiting him, then pranking him at night! Loll!! I would have smacked him! I wonder if Spock will retaliate, in a most logical way of course. Spock isn’t going to let it happen again, but his suggestion to relocate includes Jim. Gotta love that!

I must admit my favorite line is when Jim asks Spock if he can believe Winona wanted to throw it away and Spock says yes he can LOL
