Into You-A Spirk RP

Stranger: Are you nuts? There's /nothing/ going on between Spock and I. -JTK

You: ...right. So you're telling me that the fact that you and the hobgoblin having eye sex in front of the entire bridge on the daily is just a coincidence? Excuse me for living, but I don't believe you. LM

Stranger: Okay, first of all- who says 'eye sex' anymore? Second of all, we haven't been having any kinda sex at all! Nothing. Zip. Vulcans don't have eye sex. -JTK

You: Tell that to the one on board your ship, because I don't think he's gotten the memo. LM Also, I say eye sex. Who doesn't say eye sex anymore? Is that not a thing you young and hip kids say? LM

Stranger: That's definitely /not/ something us hip and young kids say. How're we having eye sex? What's that even mean? -JTK

You: Are you seriously telling me you haven't noticed the way you two stare at each other? If I didn't know Vulcans were touch telepaths, I'd think he was trying to climb into your brain and live there. LM

Stranger: That's soooo not true. I look at everyone! I look at you all the time. -JTK

You: Yeah, but you don't look at me or anybody else the way you look at Spock. You two just... stare at each other. All the time. LM You spend more time with him than anybody else on the ship. I know the two of you spend your off hours together. Everyone's seen you in the rec room playing chess. LM

Stranger: ...Yeah, playing chess! Chess isn't sexy. Plus, there's not a whole lot to do around here. Y'know? -JTK

You: Chess is probably foreplay to a logical guy like Spock. LM Look, kid. All joking aside, I've seen the way you look at him, and I've seen the way he looks at you. Even if you insist there's nothing going on, that's not going to change that fact that you look at him like he's your world, and he looks at you like you're the sun he orbits around. LM

Stranger: [Delayed] C'mon. He doesn't look at me like /that/. -JTK

Stranger: He looks at everyone like that! -JTK

You: He absolutely does NOT look at everyone the way he looks at you. No way in hell would he ever look at me with that same lovesick puppy expression he gives you, Jimbo. LM

Stranger: He does /not/ give me a 'lovesick puppy' expression. Spock doesn't even /make/ expressions like that. -JTK I mean, he dated Uhura for over a year and he never fawned. -JTK

You: I don't know what he had with Uhura. That ain't my place to judge. But Jim? He definitely makes expressions like that when you're around him. LM

Stranger: You're ridiculous. -JTK Aren't Vulcans, like...all straight? -JTK

You: Hardly. As far as I know, Vulcans form bonds based on telepathic compatibility and a load of other logical junk. I've never seen gender as one of the deciding factors in anything I've researched. LM

Stranger: Well...I don't know! I just figured bonding was all about reproduction. -JTK Plus, if he was into me, he'd just tell me. -JTK

You: Despite what they want us all to think, there's a good amount of care and consideration that seems to go into bonding. LM Would he, though? Would Spock, our emotionally-stunted, rules-up-his-ass XO really just up and tell you if he had a thing for you? LM

Stranger: Well...I mean, wouldn't he? What's illogical about having a crush? -JTK

You: He's half-human too, kid. LM I hate to say it, but feelings are hard enough to deal with when you're all human. Being a guy from a race that feels too much all the time and a race that doesn't feel enough probably doesn't make figuring that shit out very easy for him. LM Y'know, you're pretty interested in this whole thing for someone who's supposedly not interested. LM

Stranger: [Slight delay] ...I'm just curious. -JTK Besides, this is all speculation. Even if we /were/ interested in each other, there's no way it'd work. -JTK

You: Yeah? How do you figure that one? LM

Stranger: You know me. I self-sabotage like no other. ;) -JTK

You: Y'know, I do know you. And in all the time that I've known you, I've never once seen you look at anyone the way you look at Spock. So correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think your self-sabotaging would go down the same damn way as it did back in the academy. LM

Stranger: ...You don't? -JTK

You: No, I don't. Call me a fool, but I actually have faith in you, kid. LM

Stranger: You /seriously/ think me and Spock should be a thing? -JTK

You: Why the hell not? I've seen weirder shit out here in space. LM For what it's worth, I'd rather see you two happy with each other than staring off into the distance apart because neither of you can 'fess up and make a move. LM

Stranger: [...] Okay. Valid point. -JTK /But/, if we get together, we're totally gonna have sex in your sickbay. Does that change your mind? -JTK

You: Ugh. I'd ask if you have to, but I know you well enough to know the answer to that. LM Just lock the doors when you two get rowdy, yeah? I may know it's happening, but I don't need to see it. LM

Stranger: /If/. If we get rowdy, we'll lock the doors. ;) -JTK

You: You'd better. LM Now go talk to your boyfriend before I come to my senses and realise that this whole conversation was a mistake, yeah? LM

Stranger: Ugh. /Not/ my boyfriend, but fine. -JTK ...Thanks, Bones. -JTK [Delayed, message sent to Spock's comm] Hey! Hey, you busy? -JTK

You: I have been reading through the debriefing for our next planetary mission. Is everything alright, Captain? S

Stranger: Ugh. /Sooooo/ boring. It's gonna be /so/ boring. But, anyway, yeah! Yeah, everything's fine. Totally fine. -JTK

You: I do not believe a peace mission to a preciously warp-incapable planet is going to be as boring as you believe. S

Stranger: It'll totally be boring. I mean, they seem pretty peaceful, so far. We'll probably just sit through a long dinner. -JTK

You: ...Have you read any of the debriefing thus far? S

Stranger: [...] I haven't opened it once. -JTK

Stranger: /But/ in my defense, I've been dealing with a crisis! -JTK

You: A crisis? I believe you said that everything was "totally fine" only moments ago? Has something transpired between then and now to change that? S

Stranger: No, no. I mean- I /am/ totally fine. -JTK

You: You are contradicting yourself, Captain. S

Stranger: [Slight delay] Right. Shit. -JTK I'm not making any sense. -JTK I /am/ fine, but I've got a lot on my mind. I've been thinking about some things. -JTK

You: I would like to help, if I can. S

Stranger: ...Yeah? -JTK

You: Of course. Is there anything I can do? S

Stranger: [Delayed] Are you into me? -JTK

You: [delay] I do not understand the question. S

Stranger: ...Y'know. Are you attracted to me? Do you have romantic feelings for me? -JTK

You: [delay] This is not a discussion we should have in this format. S

Stranger: Wait. /Wait/- you /do/? -JTK

Stranger: For real? -JTK

You: If you are uncomfortable, I assure you that I would never attempt to do anything to make you feel as such. However, I understand if it is too much of a distraction to have aboard. I... apologise. S

Stranger: [Delay] Wait...You think I'm uncomfortable? -JTK Are you /nuts/? -JTK

You: I... do not believe so? S

Stranger: You /are/. Seriously, you're insane. Why would I be uncomfortable? -JTK

You: ...I merely assumed that was the reason behind your line of questioning. Is it not? S

Stranger: /No/. I was just...Well. I honestly expected you to say no. -JTK

You: I am not prone to lying. S

Stranger: No, I mean-....I just didn't expect you to /actually/ be into me. -JTK

You: [delay] You are an incredibly intelligent, competent captain, and beyond that, you have been a friend to me not only when I have not known how to reciprocate such gestures, but also when I have not deserved them. You are a stunning man in your own right; I admire your capability and surety in everything that you do. There is no reason I can think of for me to not be "into" you. The depth of the emotion I have grown to both acknowledge and accept was overwhelming at first, but in time, I am... glad that I am lucky enough to experience it. I enjoy your presence. Merely standing on the Bridge with you at my side is enough to make me believe in the possibility that there is no such thing as a no-win scenario. You are an enigma, Jim, and you are one that I am constantly grateful for in my life. S

Stranger: [Very delayed] Wow. -JTK I'm not, like...Well, I've never really been big on huge, romantic gestures, but now I get why people dream about them because...I don't know what to say. -JTK

You: You do not need to say anything. S I believe that you deserve to know how important you are to me, especially if you were previously unaware of it. S

Stranger: I knew you /cared/. I just didn't know it was...like that. -JTK Shit. Bones is never gonna let this go. -JTK

You: ...what does Doctor McCoy have to do with this? S

Stranger: He /totally/ knew. He knew the whole time! He told me, 'Jim, I've never seen either of you look at anyone the way you look at each other'. And I told him he was wrong. -JTK

You: That is... disconcerting. S

Stranger: Yeah. /Tell me about it/. Can't believe he realized it before I did. -JTK

You: Was this the crisis you were referring to, before? S

Stranger: [Slight delay] ...I was crisis-ing over whether or not to bring it up. -JTK

You: I do not believe "crisis-ing" is a real verb. S Do you regret doing so? S

Stranger: You can't correct my grammar if you're in love with me. -JTK ...Not yet. -JTK

You: I do not believe those two things are mutually exclusive. S

Stranger: They're /definitely/ mutually exclusive. It's in the rules. -JTK

You: There are no "rules" pertaining to this subject matter. S

Stranger: Oh, there totally is. There's a whole book titled 'So, you wanna fall in love with Jim Kirk...' -JTK

You: In that case, it is a rule book I have not been made privy to. Perhaps you should lend it to me. S

Stranger: Nah, I'll just let you know whenever you break a rule. -JTK

You: That seems to put you at an unfair advantage. S

Stranger: Well, evolution already put /you/ at an unfair advantage. :( Don't I deserve a win? -JTK

You: I am inclined to say no out of habit. S

Stranger: Ah-ah! That's another rule. -JTK

You: These rules are very much tilted in your favour. S

Stranger: Well, do /you/ have a book? -JTK

You: Figuratively speaking? Perhaps. Though it does not appear to be as extensive as yours. S

Stranger: Pffffttt! So not true. I bet you've got rules, too. -JTK

You: Well, I cannot think of any at the current time, but I will keep you posted if any come up. S

Stranger: Good. -JTK ...Can I take you out to dinner or something? -JTK

You: ...I would very much enjoy that, yes. S

Stranger: Yeah? -JTK For real? -JTK Like.../Seriously/? -JTK

You: Yes, Jim. S Seriously. S

Stranger: [Delayed] We're gonna have /great/ sex. -JTK

You: Jim!! S

Stranger: I'm just saying! -JTK Don't act surprised! You knew what you were signing up for. -JTK

You: I will admit that I did not expect you to say such a thing so... candidly, though perhaps I should have. S

Stranger: You should've. You /definitely/ should've. -JTK I've never wanted someone so long before. -JTK

Stranger: /But/, it's not /just/ that. -JTK

You: I understand. S [delay] How long have you... had feelings for me? S

Stranger: [Delay] Well...I've thought you were hot since we met at my inquest. -JTK [...] It's been more than that for a while. After melding with Salek, I /definitely/ had a crush, but...It was pretty easy to ignore. After I woke up, after Khan, it changed again. -JTK

You: [delay] When I first spoke to my counterpart, he urged me to set logic aside and to do what felt right. I knew then that I would not be able to leave you behind. You had already left a lasting impression on me, even after just the events relating to Nero and the destruction of my home planet. S It is a large part of the reason I returned to the ship, instead of resigning from Starfleet the way I had originally intended. S

Stranger: Because of me? -JTK

You: Because of you. S

Stranger: [Delay] Man. You've got it bad, huh? -JTK

You: I suppose I do. S

Stranger: How come you've never said anything? -JTK

Stranger: You really thought I'd turn you down? -JTK

You: The time was never right. S ...I did not wish to risk losing your friendship over something I felt I could control. That was more important to me than making you aware of the depth of my feelings. S And besides that, you are my Captain, first and foremost. I would not wish to do anything to jeopardise our positions relative to one another on the ship. S

Stranger: Are you kidding? Even if I /had/ turned you down, I never would've let you transfer. -JTK

You: The risk felt too great. S And I would never wish to make you uncomfortable, Jim. That has never been my intention. If a confession of my feelings for you had not been well-received, I did not want to make you feel as though you were supposed to do something about it. S

Stranger: [Delay] You're /way/ too good for me. -JTK Y'know that? -JTK

You: I do not follow your logic. S

Stranger: Like...Shit! You were willing to put your own happiness aside just because you didn't wanna hurt me. That's /insane/. -JTK

Stranger: I definitely don't deserve all that, having someone make sacrifices for me. -JTK

You: [delay] I cannot begin to express how incorrect that statement is. S You deserve to have your emotions and experiences validated. In this particular case, I could be content with merely having your friendship if it meant that you were not put into a situation where you were forced to be uncomfortable. S

Stranger: [Delay] You /gotta/ stop saying things like that. I'm trying to act like a gentleman and you're not making it any easier. -JTK Dinner. I'm gonna take you to dinner. -JTK

You: You did mention that, yes. S How am I making it difficult for you to act like a gentleman? S

Stranger: /Because/, I can't act like a gentleman when you say things like /that/. -JTK

You: Your explanation is suspiciously lacking in explanation. S

Stranger: [...] When you say super duper nice things, I wanna suck your dick. -JTK

You: ...Ah. S

Stranger: Hey, I was /trying/ not to say it. -JTK

You: [delay] While dinner is not something I would be disinclined to engage in with you, I am not opposed to more... amorous activities. S

Stranger: ...I don't wanna rush you. -JTK

You: I would not have brought it up if I was not certain of what I want, Jim. S

Stranger: [Delay] /Yeah/? -JTK

You: Yes. Emphatically yes. S

Stranger: ...Well. We could have dinner and then spend a hell of a lotta time making out. -JTK

You: A sound plan, Captain. S

Stranger: Call me Jim. We're practically dating. -JTK

You: A sound plan, then, Jim. S

Stranger: Perfect. -JTK Holy shit. -JTK I don't think I've ever been so excited for a data before. -JTK

You: When will this date be occurring? S

Stranger: ...Does it make me sound desperate if I say tonight? -JTK

You: If it does, then I am just as desperate to accept. S

Stranger: You should be. I'm a /total/ catch. ;) -JTK

You: I am well-aware that you are. S
