Don't believe in no-win scenarios

Spock meets Jim's step closer with one of his own, leaving them practically toe to toe as he watches his face, searching his expression while he listens to what he has to say.

"I was not aware. When I had arrived on Earth it was just after—"

When Jim kisses him, Spock presses into it eagerly, open and hungry and wanting. The catch of Jim's blunted teeth manages to steal a quiet, wanting sound out of him, and then he breathes quietly, taking everything in. "I was not prepared for the depth of emotion I began to feel for you, and as the dissolution of my engagement was mere weeks before the start of term, I did not see myself as desirable."

Spock initiates another kiss, lingering, his free hand dropping to Jim's hip.

"I was unable to ascertain how someone as attractive, intelligent, and kind as you could be attracted to me."
