100 Words Continuation, April 06, 2018

contemplative

Jim wasn’t good at waiting. All his life if he’d had to wait, he made something happen. But he didn’t know what to do this time. Well, he supposed he’d done it by confessing his feelings to Spock, however, ill-advised.

He made himself some tea, herbal, because he figured he was hyped up enough as it was. And he wondered if maybe Spock would ignore his message. Pretend he hadn’t seen it until the next day or something.

But his heart nearly stopped and his breath stilled in his chest when footsteps, soft yet sure, paused outside his door.

He wanted Spock to be happy above all else and if helping Vulcans to reestablish the species was the way to make Spock happy then it was wrong of Jim to do anything to prevent that.

It was up to him as both Spock’s friend and commanding officer to ensure that Spock’s needs in that regard took priority over Jim’s own personal needs.

He erased what he typed out and re-typed out,

We need to talk. My quarters at your convenience.

This time he did hit send.

And now the only thing he could do was to wait.

Part of him thought he should not hit send. He said what he said and it was true, whether his feelings were unwelcome to Spock or not.

On the other hand, if Spock thought his declaration was something they could not get past, he might ask for a transfer, or worse, go through with his idea to leave Starfleet and go to New Vulcan.

Ambassador Spock’s death had been hard on Spock in a time he’d already felt torn and under the stress of contributing directly to the Vulcan cause.

But was Jim being selfish in keeping him here?

“Salvage what? You didn’t do anything wrong. Having feelings for someone is not against Starfleet regulations no matter what that robot might say.”

 

“Bones, come on, that’s not fair. He was in a relationship with Uhura for years so he knows it’s not against regulations. He just doesn’t feel the same way I do. And well.” Jim sighed and leaned his head back against his sofa. “I have to accept that. And hope he doesn’t ask for a transfer or something.”

 

“Think he will?”

 

“I don’t know. He almost left to New Vulcan already. Maybe he will this time.”

“How?” Bones asked, not unsympathetically.

Jim turned from his friend’s gaze. “I told Spock.”

“Told him what?”

He sighed. “That I loved him.”

“Oh.” Bones’ voice was soft, tentative. Like he was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Jim supposed he was.

“And it went about as well as you could imagine.” Jim shrugged. “He looked at me as though I was some science experiment he couldn’t quite figure out. Like he did when I told him I’d miss him when I thought we were being separated.”

“Jim—”

“Now I have to find a way to salvage this.”

Recent Updating

I finally got the update done and posted to Didn’t We Almost Have it All. I was very happy with the response I got to it, too. You never quite know if people are still reading your work, especially if you haven’t updated it in a while and though it had been updated in January, you just don’t know how many readers you’ve lost. But people are still following it and that makes me happy.

Friday will be the continuation of the 100 word thing I am doing. I am having fun with that. It’s certainly making the story take longer just because I have to keep it to 100 words at a time.

I decided to post All I Ever Wanted on AO3 and so with that I took it down from here. I was torn about it honestly because I knew it wouldn’t be that popular on there (older characters, yet another wip from me, etc) but I wanted more to read it then the three or four that were reading it here.

I’m working on finishing Turning Page now and hope to have it updated today or tomorrow. Once that is up I will be turning to the next chapter of You are the Light That’s Leading Me, but I think it will probably not go up until next week. I think I am giving myself permission to take the weekends off from writing/posting for a bit.

100 Words Continuation, March 02, 2018

Jim did not feel like seeing anyone.

“Computer, identify visitor.”

“Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer.”

He groaned. Just what he needed. He wanted to ignore Bones, but an ignored Bones was an even crankier Bones.

“Open.”

“Jim—“Bones started as soon as the door swished open to allow his entry.

Jim held up his hands. “Don’t start. Not in the mood.”

“You do look like hell, Jim. What’s wrong?”

“I’m an idiot.”

Bones smirked. “Yes that I know.”

“Shut up.” Jim smiled in spite of the fact he really didn’t feel like smiling.

“Let me guess. Spock?”

“No. Me.”

Update Madness March 01

Okay so this week I updated the blog story, the 100 words (coming tomorrow), My Devotion (twice), Anything and Where My Demons hide.

Whew.

I am exhausted. And probably done for the weekend. We shall see.

Next up is Didn’t We Almost Have it All which deals with the sudden arrival of Spock in Jim’s yard and it’s going to be difficult for both Jim and me, so probably not until sometime next week.

Enjoy the updates I have done in the meantime! Thanks!

 

100 Words – Continuation

Jim staggered into his quarters, unshed and unwelcome tears stinging his eyes.

What had he expected? An undying declaration of love from his coldly reserved Vulcan first officer. Spock had been with Uhura for years and they’d never made a complete commitment. Or at least Spock had not. Jim figured Uhura wanted to and that’s why it had ended.

Maybe Spock just didn’t want anyone. Perhaps he had no romantic interest in any human. Jim could certainly tell himself that to make him feel better.

And yet he felt not better at all.

His door chimed. Jim turned to it.
