Jim can't remember the last time he had to actually put some Effort into cracking anything. It scratches at an itch he's left untouched for so long he forgot it was even there. And he desperately wants to get that delicious sense of accomplishment again. But considering he'd kinda banged his head against it this afternoon instead of sitting down and going about things they way you probably should a thing like this he's loathe to let Spock see him stumbling at this. Sure, he complimented Jim on finishing it but he could just have been being nice.
What if it's like, a kids game???
Yeah, Jim can't risk that. He'll wait until his next secret nap slot time and knock this one out, too.
"I'd like that." Jim pipes up. He tears his gaze away from the kal-toh set and looks back at Spock. His excitement is palpable on his face even without the huge grin plastered there. "Fuck, you can say that again about the courses. Taking everything I've got not to fall asleep in class." Is it boredom or the whole NOT SLEEPING thing that is causing that, Jim?
"For now though, can I ask what you've been reading? I finished up the book I was reading about the design of the first warp core and until class assigns something I haven't already read I'm kinda short on options and the library won't open until 0700."
