The night Sam Kirk walks into the Kirk family farmhouse his little brother throws a fucking beer bottle at his face. He misses. If he'd hit, the next several years might not have happened.



Jim is twenty years old and his life is a fucking mess.

He's no longer in the goddamn hospital every other month, but still in mandatory therapy until he ages out of the system on his 21st birthday. His therapist has worked with him since. Well. Since he got mandated one by the University of Iowa's children's hospital when they brought him home and nursed him back from the brink of being starved to death. Sam isn't here about Tarsus though. He's here because he heard little Jimmy just got out of a stint in county for petty theft.

Why's a guy stealing bread in this day and age? Jim doesn't give him a satisfactory answer. He can't. There isn't one. He'd been better until he'd left his personal device at home for a weekend boke trip. Without his meal schedule Jim can't function. But see, his body doesn't tell him when he's hungry anymore either, so Jim hadn't noticed until it was day three and he started hurting. All sense left him. Next thing he knows he's sitting in a jail cell being watched while he eats the food they gave him because anyone can see Jim Kirk is still too thin. Jim hates it. That look of fucking pity.

He was home and on his fourth beer of the evening when his fucking older brother strides in like he hasn't been gone for the last damn near decade of Jim's life.

"Sober up. I want you to come into town with me tomorrow and take a test." Sam had said. Jim thinks he told his brother to fuck off. He thinks he tried, but he might have stormed off so the other didn't see him break down into tears. He dodges Sam for three days before they bond over noon breakfast talking about when their mom finally found out about and ditched Frank. Sam asks where Winona sent him then, since neither of them believes for a second she stayed Earthside to raise him herself.

Jim lies.

But the lie works. And so he lets Sam drive them into town chattering the whole time about Starfleet. He wants Jim to take an aptitude test. If he passes, well. Dear ol' big brother's gonna whisk him away to San Francisco so they can enlist together. Sam got in, you see. Second attempt, so maybe Jimmy won't be going with him Right away.

"Jim." Jim corrects him. He's toying with the idea of maybe letting Sam talk him into this, but he's not forgetting the last damn near decade so easily. Not forgiving it yet, either. He tells himself he'll take the stupid test to shut his brother up. And hell, maybe he'll even beat his 'big bro' and pass on a first try. He aces it, hangover and all. Sam seems real keen on congratulating himself for giving Jim pointers the last couple days and Jim doesn't argue much.

A change of scenery seems like a decent idea.

All he wants to take fits into a single duffel bag he tosses into the back of Sam's beater of a truck and they make for San Francisco...

To get an explanation without asking for it aloud, for Kirk to anticipate and attempt to go over it unprompted—a very slight flush rises on Spock's cheeks before he can stop it. "I see. Thank you for the explanation."

And if Spock is listing toward Kirk slightly as they sit, he does not even notice. It is natural, comfortable, and, despite everything, easy.

"Then I too have a 'metric ass-ton' of course work to do in the coming weeks."

It is... A pleasant end to a term. Busy, and near-overwhelming even for Spock, but pleasant. His time spent with Kirk is more and more coveted, and he is glad for each moment together, whether it be studying, eating, or simply taking the split-second flashes of free time to relax.

Spock, at some point, foregoes wearing a shirt entirely once the room is finally at an optimal temperature for his body chemistry. There is no ulterior motive behind it, the only thought being of comfort. He never quite strips down to his underwear as Kirk does, but he is, clearly, extremely comfortable around his roommate.

Today though, just after their last assignments and exams, Spock is fully dressed in his normal robes as he sits at his desk because he is on a call with his mother.

His mother, who is lecturing him about how he has yet to approach Kirk about his feelings.

"I see that you have been speaking with T'Pring," he notes tiredly after she asks if he has done so yet, "I have not informed him. We have both been busy and there is no point. He has not responded with marked romantic interest to my current level of attention as far as I am aware, and I hold little faith that saying so plainly would alter that behavior. Our social interactions will remain as they have been."

You need to tell him, Spock. She says it in the tone she takes when she is parsing Spock being an idiot gently. If you don't tell him, you'll regret it later.

"I will, as is colloquially noted, 'get over it.'" And he means that, he does, until she continues.

Every time you talk about that boy you look exactly like your father did when he was courting me.

For one of the very rare times in his life, Spock stutters. "I—Mother, I do not wish to hear about my father's expressions during that time." But she said he looks like Sarek. Like his fully Vulcan father, not like some lovestruck human, not like he is not Vulcan enough due to his feelings. He inhales. It shakes once before he evens it out. "However, I will take your advice under consideration."

Good, she says, because if you don't tell Cadet Kirk anything, T'Pring said she was going to do it for you.

That point is about where Spock hears the door open and he tenses visibly because he's been caught out, he has to figure something out—

—Kirk is leaving and in a hurry, but not because he is upset with Spock. He seems to be upset with his brother, which Spock is confused about for a moment.

Samuel Kirk.

Kirk.

Kirk thinks that Spock is in love with his brother.

Even though the mere thought makes Spock's stomach lurch unpleasantly, he takes a breath and turns to his mother. "I will contact you later," he says, then terminates the call and rushes out of the room.

He hopes, foolishly, that he will catch up to Kirk before Kirk reaches his brother. He knows it is unlikely, but he holds the irrational thought in his head nonetheless.

Several thought processes work at once while Spock hurries after Kirk up to the third floor.

Kirk thinks Spock is in love with his elder brother. Kirk is angry about this not at Spock, but at said brother. Kirk is so incensed that Spock believes there is a possibility for violence.

Why?

He skids to a stop in the corridor outside Sam Kirk's dormitory, eyes very slightly wide from what he has heard of Kirk's tirade.

It almost sounds as though Kirk himself—

—Spock realizes, all at once, what a fool he has been all this time and takes a step into the room to attempt stopping things, to take Kirk aside and explain.

However, Samuel Kirk has the impeccable timing of opening his mouth just then.

Spock is about to say something when the elder Kirk treats him like a thing. Calls him that. Right to his face.

And then Kirk is looking at him and Spock wants nothing more than to—

Than to—

—Kirk's fist connects with his brother's face and Spock's eyes widen. He barely hears what Kirk says afterward but it does not matter: Spock says nothing, but he does grip Kirk's sleeve and yank him out of the room. He maintains this facade of calm and quiet until he gets them both into the stairwell. He intends to get them back to their dormitory before he does anything rash but at the first landing they reach he gives in and presses Kirk against the wall, the hand on his sleeve shifting to grab his hand and pin it too.

He looks at him, eyes still wide, and then kisses him. Hard, a little aggressive, but at the same time almost fervent. When he pulls back it is only briefly and only enough to speak against his mouth. "Jim," he says, the name thick on his tongue without any qualifiers, "while that was incredibly attractive, I have much better taste than to be interested in your brother in the first place."

And then, as though to punctuate the statement, he kisses him again.

Spock does not hear any of Kirk's—Jim's—attempted explanations on the stairs. He is too busy replaying the image of him striking Samuel Kirk for what he had said about Spock. For Spock's benefit.

At some point in the kiss, Spock ends up tangling their fingers obscenely there against the wall; it is fortunate that Spock is the only Vulcan currently on the campus. He is not thinking about that, however. He is far too busy with the moment, with tasting Jim's mouth, with pressing their bodies together tightly.

Only when he draws back for a breath and Jim speaks again does Spock have the grace to fluster somewhat, clearing his throat and reluctantly taking a half-step back, though the hand that had found its place at Jim's waist remains there.

"I did not indicate whether I was using the Terran or Vulcan definition," Spock explains, "and they are very different."

It technically is the rolling of Jim's hips and the friction between them that urge Spock to shift. However, it is simply because if Spock does not pause now, they are not leaving this stairwell for the entirety of winter break.

Spock looks at Jim as he is, panting and eager, and nods sharply. He presses another hungry kiss to his mouth before finally drawing back properly, his grip on Jim's hand gentling at least for the rest of the trek downstairs to their floor and then through the corridor to their shared room.

They at least do not pass many people along the way, though there are a small number of them. However, Spock is single-minded, opening their door and ushering them both inside before letting it close behind them and tapping the lock.

By the time they reach the room, Spock feels as though he has regained himself enough to have a proper conversation. He does!

Or, well, he does until Jim Kirk presses a kiss to his hand and Spock chokes on a breath, his eyes widening again. He tries to tell himself (over and over) that Terrans, humans especially, do not see hands the same way Vulcans do.

It does not help.

By the time Jim's eyes flutter open Spock is staring at him openly, his face flushed green all the way to the tips of his ears. His knuckles are still tingling and a warmth is coiling in his stomach.

Spock has never in his life been this flustered, much less so in front of Jim. But he clearly is, and in a positive way.

He clears his throat, trying to regain his composure. "Please elucidate on what you are struggling to believe."

Does that sound normal?

Well, it is certainly a type of romantic. One Spock definitely enjoys, though he should likely explain the difference later.

However, the question gets Spock's more usual head tilt as he considers, and then:

"Twelve weeks, five days," with a pause to look at the clock, "sixteen hours and forty-nine minutes."

Which, for someone keeping track, like Spock, is about when Jim first managed to get Spock to go on a sort-of-maybe-kind-of-date to a Thai restaurant. The same one Spock brought food from when Jim was feeling low.

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."

"I do not understand the metaphor 'sex on legs.'" Spock is aware his curiosity is not helping anything, but he has to make that part known first.

After, when Jim is breathing words between them, Spock swallows. Normally he might have several questions, but he is able to glean meaning well enough from context that he simply inhales a little sharply and blinks both sets of eyelids before looking at him, hand lifting to close atop Jim's in his shirt.

He nudges their foreheads together gently; there is transference but it is steady and grounding. This is the most Spock has touched anyone other than regular contact with his mother as a child, and well, with T'Pring while they were still betrothed.

"We have established that we both have long-term affection and desire for one another," he begins reasonably, "and should you desire to wait, I will not push you. I have lived with you in this room for months with you almost entirely undressed at all times and have, as I have heard it colloquially put, 'survived.' I will not cease to do so should you want to progress more slowly. However, I will also note that my opinion of you will not change regardless of the speed or lack thereof and I hope yours of me would not either."

A beat passes.

"To clarify, I have desired to have sexual intercourse with you for some time now and continue to desire to."

they're so stupid (fond)

It is certainly not some fling with Spock. For Spock, it is also not some fling with Jim. Spock has found is very bad at flings and did not desire one with Jim in the first place.

He is patient as Jim processes, as he comes to his decision.

His lips curve up slightly at the corners. Just a little. "I believe you will."

Then he unceremoniously picks Jim directly off the floor, hoists him over his shoulder, carts him over to one of the beds, and practically tosses him onto it. "You are overdressed."

A pointed statement as Spock starts to remove his own layers, still standing so as to get the robes off properly.

they're REALLY good lmao

Spock has very little evidence of Jim's habits and mannerisms sexually as he has always ensured there was no overlap, and to say he is briefly startled by the intensity with which Jim responds to what Spock had found most practical would be correct.

That is not to say he dislikes it, however, as he briefly feels as though his mouth has gone dry from the sound of Jim moaning in his ear. Spock watches him the entire time as he undresses, gaze dark and hungry, and he's almost fully undressed by the time Jim tries to get him onto the bed and closer to him already: all he has left are his pants and underwear, and for once in his life Spock has not taken the time to fold any of it, just tossed it over the back of his desk chair.

Spock shifts close enough for Jim to get his hands on him, but he busies him instead with straddling his thighs and kissing him, harder than before, desperate and heated with a low groan against his mouth before he starts dragging his attentions lower, teeth catching briefly at his throat, his collarbone—

—his eyes flick up to look at his face, one eyebrow arched slightly, as he presses a kiss to the center of his chest in the same moment that one of his hands slides up the length of Jim's inner thigh.

Jim's hands practically feel as though they burn his skin for the body heat difference and Spock swallows hard. He has never been this easily affected with any of his previous human partners, but perhaps it is the affection making it that much more intense.

Perhaps it is also the desperation Jim already showcases with each thing Spock does; he has also never felt this wanted before and he desperately, desperately craves more of it.

Spock has at least been somewhat sexually adventurous, though with less overall partners than Jim may have had. He is aware of the usage of and requirement for lubricant with humans for certain aspects, though Vulcans produce enough of their own, generally speaking. Spock considers mentioning so, as he is aware that the preparation for anal sex is similar both between species and sexes, but curiosity about the rest of Jim's comment wins out and he slides just far enough away to get to said foot locker and pop it open, arching an eyebrow slightly as he skates a glance over everything inside before he grabs the bottle of lubricant and returns to his own bed and Jim himself.

He sets the bottle on the bed and slides up Jim's body again to press a kiss to his mouth; as he does he shoves his pants and underwear the rest of the way down his hips and gets them off his legs, leaving them in similar states of undress.

Similar states of hardness too, though their anatomy does have certain differences, namely the fact that Spock's arousal has slipped free of its normal sheathed housing and that said sheath has leaked enough slick that not only is his cock coated, his inner thighs are dripping obscenely.

He has never been this aroused in his life, he realizes, though he does not say as much because he's too busy pinning Jim to the bed with his own body to grind their hips together, giving them both slippery friction that drags a groan from low in his chest.
