“why you getting all emotional in the hardware store?”

“I keep imagining this scenario where Kirk and Spock want to be together but never got to, because circumstances forced them into separate lives where they can hardly ever meet… and because of Vulcan biology they have to plan those few meetings around Spock’s pon farr cycle… and so Spock only gets to see Kirk when he’s already desperate and not fully himself, and in the paranoia of the blood fever he can’t tell for sure if this heavenly apparition coming toward him is really his beloved or just a fevered hallucination, or if Kirk even still cares for him after so much time apart, so all that’s going through his mind as they meet is just, ‘please be real. please stay'…”


“and WHY are you thinking about that now, specifically?”


“um…”

If you leave, don't leave now Please don't take my heart away Promise me just one more night Then we'll go our separate ways We always had time on our sides Now It's fading fast Every second every moment We've got to--we've gotta make it last I touch vou once I touch vou twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd still be friends somedayALT
If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day But if you leave don't look back I'll be running the other way Seven years went under the bridge Like time was standing still Heaven knows what happens now You've got to--you've gotta say you wil I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd meet againALT
