What she means: What was it really that wasn’t supposed to happen in front of the Klingons? Kirk had already embraced Spock and leaned in when Spock said it. Whatever came after, must have been more than a warm embrace from a dear friend. The only reasonable explanation is that they were about to kiss right there. There is no other way to explain it. Nothing else could have been so awkwardly, humanly emotional for Spock in the presence of the Klingons that he had to stop Kirk beforehand.
some thoughts for an au where jim and spock are cadets at the same time because I love college aus but some of y’all are weird af with your cadet/professor shit
Spock is a few semesters higher than Jim or doing a second course because one degree isn’t enough
Jim and Bones are best friends, Bones is still those few years older than Jim (maybe sharing an apartment?)
Spock and Uhura are good / best friends
anyway they meet at an event and Jim is like haha he’s cute
but then he can’t get him out of his head
Spock organizes a study/ essay revision group because Nyota said it would look good, that he can organise and teach etc
Jim joins because on one hand he really wants to get to know Spock better and on the other it would be good to have feedback on his papers
he starts really crushing on Spock and his essays get so much better because he’s trying to impress Spock
meanwhile Spock is using every technique known to mankind to respectfully let Jim know that he’s interested
Jim is oblivious as fuck and constantly tells Bones about how much he pines for Spock
Spock grows increasingly frustrated but he doesn’t really want to make a move because Jim does kind of flirt with everyone wtf am I supposed to do Nyota
eventually Spock puts his private comm number in the notes of the essays he reviews for Jim “in case he has any questions”
when Bones finds out he goes wild what the fuck Jim he clearly wants to bone you how can James Tiberius flirtmaster not see that
their date is at the science museum they look at rocks and Spock kisses Jims cheek before they make out in the elevator
