“Well that wasn’t exactly how I thought Valentine’s Day would go,” Jim Kirk said to his best friend, Leonard “Bones” McCoy.
“Yeah, yeah.” Bones smirked. “You expected to get laid at least two or three times.”
Jim shot him a look. “Once would have been enough. Who knew they would raid that club?”
“I did. Well, maybe not this exact night, but that club’s been crazy and asking for it for months. All that illegal shit going on there. Just be glad they didn’t lock us up and we’re leaving the station and able to go home.”
Jim sighed as they went through the double doors the Federation Police Department and back out to the fresh air. Sort of fresh air. There was a little bit of sewer smell drifting their way.
“I don’t think they arrested any patron except that dude in the back.”
“And its no wonder. I did say we should cross that place off our list.”
“The Federation’s done that for us now.” It was too bad too because Jim wore a red t-shirt and he looked good in red.
“I’m actually surprised you wanted to go to a club.” Bones turned at the end of the pathway toward Starfleet Academy and their dorm.
“Why?”
He shrugged. “I sorta thought you were seeing that Vulcan.”
“Spock?”
“You know any others?” Bones snorted. “Maybe you do. After all you spent a summer there.”
“Hottest damn summer I ever spent.” Jim grinned. “In more ways than one, I might add.”
“Wish you wouldn’t.”
Jim laughed. “Anyway, I haven’t heard from him. Not since the last time.”
“You will.”
“Maybe.”
They turned to other subjects until they got to their dorm. There standing at the door was Spock holding a dozen red roses.
Jim smiled. “Are those for me?”
Spock arched a brow. He looked vaguely annoyed, no doubt from having stood outside waiting for who knew how long. “They are not for Doctor McCoy.”
“Awe, man, way to hurt me, Spock.” Bones rolled his eyes, went past the two of them, and into the dorm room.
“Been waiting long?”
“Long enough. I was about to leave.”
“Sorry. I was at the police station.”
“Do I wish to know?”
Jim smiled and took the roses. “Nope. But my Valentine’s Day just got a heckuva lot better. Your place?”
“Unless you intend to give the doctor a show…yes.”
“No shows.” He linked his arm with Spock’s. “Perhaps a private one for you. I’m wearing red silk briefs with pink hearts on them.”
Spock shook his head. “Of course you are.” He frowned. “You were not expecting me, why are you wearing—’
“Better not to ask.”
Spock sighed and led Jim away from the Academy campus and to his apartment. A very good Valentine’s Day for Jim.

Heh. Aw man. Jim is incorrigible and adorable. And I simply love that Spock was waiting and also took Jim in stride.
Excellent!

I do not have plans to write it, in February or otherwise, LOL. But I can think about it for a future flash/fic. February is pretty much taken up in my head already

I’m 100% sure I wrote out a comment earlier today, when this flash first appeared and there were no comments on it. Maybe it’s me and I didn’t hit the post comment button or maybe it’s a WordPress thing?! Idk! 🤷🏻♀️
Love this Valentine’s Day themed flash. The banter between everyone is so true to their characters! I can definitely hear it in their voices. Love it!
“Do I wish to know?” Lol… No Spock, you don’t. Jim wearing Valentine’s underwear… “Better not to ask.” Spock has good questions, but better to keep the answers out of their conversation.
Picturing Spock holding a dozen red roses.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 I’d be annoyed just waiting there and imagining where Jim was. 🤔 Spock’s truly trying to turn up the romance. 💞
But how long has it been and why haven’t they seen each other in awhile? Now you’ve got me wondering about Jim’s summer on Vulcan that was hot 🔥☀️🥵 … “In more ways than one.” Did it involve Spock? Inquiring minds want to know. For the sake of knowledge, you know.
Seems to me that Jim will indeed have a very good Valentine’s Day and so will Spock. Love it!
Will February flashes continue this story? Are we taking a vote or poll? 🗳️ My vote is yes. 👍👍 Lol!
❤️💚😘🖖

Awe, it’s okay, I promise Spock will be happy with this Jim, despite his questionable behavior! And…in fairness to Jim, Spock wasn’t compltely upfront on his intentions prior to showing up with roses 😀

Alas no, this is not a continuing story at this point as I have plans for other stories in February.
But I definitely appreciate yours and J’s interest in more 🙂
I’ll never say never but I’d have to really think about it to know what else I would write in the future for it. But as I said, I pretty much have most of February flashes planned
