I’m trying to get a one-shot started for posting on AO3 but without much success because of things. I’ll get to it.
It’s still Love month, so here’s a short flash
“How many lovers have you had?”
Jim couldn’t help but burst out laughing. It happened before he could stop it. Spock looked uncomfortable and contrite and vaguely offended. How he’d managed to look all three Jim didn’t know.
They’d been lying in bed peacefully absorbing the afterglow when Spock sprung the question.
“What?”
“I apologize if that is an inappropriate question.”
“It’s not. Well…it is. It kind of is. Just…why do you even want to know?”
“There is…ship wide speculation—”
“Oh there is huh? You’re listening to ship’s gossip or your former girlfriend?”
“Jim, I apologize.”
He nodded. “Well you should. I don’t even know why it matters. The past has nothing to do with us.”
Spock looked fully chastised now. “I realize.”
Jim sighed and then smiled. “But you still want to know, huh?”
“A matter of curiosity only.”
Jim snorted. “Yeah sure. Two things.”
“Yes?”
“Only one lover. You. The others were just sex. Two, being with you blows them all away.”
Spock stared, wide-eyed.
Jim laughed again. “Any more questions?”
“Just…may I kiss you?”
“Yeah, I think that would be alright.”

I grinned and then happy sighed. They’re too cute. Jim knew just what to say, and I’m certain it’s the truth.
Lovely!

And ugh I got up super early this morning, 5:30 because of back pain, so I am even more whiny than usual LOL

Spock has impeccable timing… real not really! Jim however, has the perfect come back! He’s not letting Spock get away with inappropriate questions. Spock shouldn’t listen to gossip or his ex. Well at least, he wanted to get the direct answer from Jim instead of believing the gossip.
Spock is surprised with his response, that Spock was his only lover. None of the others were serious! 👍👍
❤️💚😘🖖 Kudos on this flash!
