Boys Are Mean
by Djinn
"You think you can tear
yourself away from our
patient long enough
to help me? Spock's fine."
Don't look like that—
like I'm a monster.
Why can't you see...me?
"Hey, you managed
to get through a whole
shift without
mentioning Spock.''
Have you finally come to your
senses? What do I have to do
to make you notice me?
"Oh so you're leaving the ship
right after Spock abandons his
humanity. Guess he's the only
reason you had to stay?"
Jim's leaving, too.
We could start over,
Christine, if you'd just stay.
"Looks like nothing's
changed—could you
have squeaked any
louder when you saw him?"
Darlin', I know I'm taking your
slot but give me a chance this time.
No, don't leave again.
"Funny how you were
so hot to get your M.D.
and now you're
not even using it."
You look so good, so light.
How can you be so
happy when I miss you so?
"So, are you going to start
mooning over me too now,
that I've hosted Spock's katra
and lived to tell about it?"
Oh, yeah, you did host his
consciousness, didn't you?
I guess that makes us even.
"I wasn't sure I'd ever see
our time—or you—again.
So here goes: I love you.
I know you don't care, but I do."
Thank God I said I'd go on this stupid
camping trip so I don’t have to
think about what I said to you.
"Yeah, our shakedown cruise
did go sideways. Wait—you're
serious? You do? No, I don't
have something smart to say."
My God you feel good; I could
hold you all night. And those
lips—better than I imagined.
"Your place or mine? Yours,
darlin'. Yes, I am going to
hold your hand. I've waited
a long damn time for this."
And it was worth the wait.
That smile, the way my name
sounds when you come—heaven.
"I wish I'd been brave enough
to tell you how I felt when
I first felt it. Would it
have made a difference to you?"
No? I didn't think so.
Oh well, at least we have now.
It's more than I ever expected.
And it's wonderful.
