Story: Star Trek XI. Kirk and Spock become an item.

As Kirk sat in his command chair gazing at the screen in front at empty space, his thoughts couldn't help but wander back to Spock. And how quickly it had all happened.

He had realised his attraction to Spock only a few weeks after they had begun their missions on the Enterprise. He had to be honest with himself, he hadn't expected it at all, to be attracted to a half Vulcan he'd initially judged as a smart ass. But just as things had started getting awkward and difficult for him, after all he knew he would be working with the Vulcan every day, the guy was his frickin' first officer...Spock had surprised him by revealing he felt the same way. In the turbo lift.

Pressing a button for the lift to stop, he turned and began. "Captain, would you permit me to make a personal query?"

Kirk shrugged, nodded.

"Are you currently experiencing a physical attraction to me?"

Kirk spluttered with surprise. "What? Spock?!"

Spock's expression altered slightly. "I have noticed your behaviour towards me has altered in accordance with traditional human flirtation. But I was unsure...how to proceed."

"Proceed? Spock, what are you talking about?" Kirk said, hoping his incredulity covered the blush on his face.

"Well, I am currently experiencing what I believe to be attraction to you also, so logic dictates we would begin a romantic relationship. But it is possible that I have misread your actions, I am still not completely familiar with all aspects of human behaviour, and – "

"Woah, woah, Spock, stop there for a sec." Kirk held up his hands. "Did you say you were attracted to me?"

"That is correct, Captain."

"Call me Jim," Kirk said, then leaned straight in and kissed Spock. The kiss was different than usual for many reasons. Firstly, when Kirk kissed anyone it was a girl and usually because he wanted them to have sex with him. But this kiss was simply that he couldn't bear not to kiss Spock any longer, especially if Spock felt the same way. It was also different because Spock was a guy, and Kirk was conscious of this because he had never kissed another guy before, and all the hairs on the back of his neck rose with shock and pleasure as Spock began to respond. His lips were surprisingly soft for a guy which Kirk hadn't expected. The last reason it was different was because Spock was half Vulcan, and Vulcans weren't renowned for being super sexual. It was true that Spock kissed slowly, and hesitantly, but this just made Kirk want Spock even more.

"Captain?"

Kirk blinked, snapping from his turbolift memory right back to his command chair on the bridge. Scotty was blinking at him. "Your report, sir?"

"Oh, uh, thanks Scotty," Kirk said, leaning forward to take it, and hoping he hadn't been zoned out for too long. Normally he wouldn't have let himself get so easily distracted, but the kiss between himself and Spock had only happened the previous night and he hadn't talked to Spock since then except on work matters. And Spock, being a Vulcan, hadn't even acted any differently. Dating a half Vulcan sure was going to be interesting...
