Ship Wars Prompt One: Our First Date

[coffeestudies]

OMG I SWORE TO THE PAIR OF FAKE VULCAN EARS I DON'T HAVE THAT I'M NEVER GONNA WRITE ANYTHING AGAIN AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN CASE OF BREAKING RULE #1, WON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SEE IT. OH GOD.

But! All is fair in love and war. Plus, there're pictures; it can't be that bad. So this is my entry for the first Ship Wars prompt over at st_respect: Our First Date.

Title: Dear Captain's Log
Description: Kirk has a cunning plan! Tonight, no Klingons, Space Nazis, or Other People will stand in his way to his first officer's heart!
Rating: PG-13, due to a word that shouldn't be said in front of kids?
Warnings: none

  MAKE IT BIGGER!

NOW AS WALLPAPER. ILU GUISE!

Captain’s Log

Signature: Captain Yummy
Date: 3228.8
Witnessed and understood by: absolutely no one else! Not even you, Bones!

Dear Captain’s Log,
Today I’m gonna ask Spock out on a date. And also oversee peace talks on Halorian Prime and have Scotty fix my shower (or is that something my first officer could do?)

I’ve often wanted to ask him. BUT WHOOSH! COME THE KLINGONS OR SPACE ANOMALIES OR MY OWN INSECURITIES I WANNA TALK ABOUT WITH SPOCK ONLY BUT THAT’S SURELY NOT SOMETHING YOU TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE OUT. RIGHT?

I’m sure Spock wouldn’t have appreciated it if I’d have asked him out in front of Space Nazis.
(Spock in handcuffs is a darn fine sight.)

Me, Spock and the gang once went out dancing but he didn’t seem to enjoy it so that doesn’t count. (Plus, Other People!)

But tonight I’ve got it all planned out. Tonight’s the night.
I’ll welcome Spock like the stud I am and the only logical reaction is to admit that I’m irresistible!

Then we play naked chess and fuck drink that stuff Spock keeps talking about. He says it’s... stimulating. Oh, door chime!

...Was Spock, asking if I’m “prepared to take our romantic involvement to the next logical level”. WE'VE BEEN DATING ALL ALONG. GO ME!

SPOCK: Jim, I assumed that due to my obvious favorable behavior towards you my intentions were evident enough even for you.

JIM: Show me more of that favorable behavior and I show you how evident its consequences are...

Ok, so, if there's anything really really wrong (define "really really wrong" as convenient) about it, tell me? I'll try and fix it in time, go team!

I approve of your best dress! XD I ALSO APPROVE OF YOUR PLAN TO RUN OFF, AND OF YOUR ANALOGY <3

HIS COMPUTER IS FULL OF SAVED MESSAGES THAT SAY STUFF LIKE "AFFIRMATIVE, CAPTAIN" AND "I LOOK FORWARD TO IT" AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND WHEN HE'S HAD A BAD DAY HE READS THEM AND THEY MAKE HIM HAPPY. "AFFIRMATIVE, CAPTAIN"="AS YOU WISH"="I LOVE YOU," SO IT'S SMALL WONDER THEY MAKE HIM HAPPY. VULCANS ARE INDEED VERY SNEAKY.

IF WE RUN REALLY REALLY FAST WE CAN MAKE IT TO VEGAS IN TIME TO THE PINTO WEDDING.

YES. WHEN HE HAD A REALLY BAD DAY WITH THE KLINGONS OR ROMULANS OR WHATEVER ASSHOLES HE MAKES BONES BRING HIM A BUCKET OF BOURBON-FLAVOURED ICE CREAM, MAKES HIMSELF COMFORTABLE ON THE COUCH WITH A FLUFFY BLANKET AND LISTENS TO ALL OF SPOCK'S MESSAGES. SOMETIMES HE MAKES NOTES AND FLOWCHARTS AND HE CAN FEEL THAT HE IS THIS CLOSE TO DECODING VULCAN PILLOW TALK.

I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN. I WILL RISE FROM MY GRAVE WITHOUT DELAY.

YES, BOURBON-FLAVORED ICE CREAM. AND THE FLUFFY BLANKET IS MADE OF SPOCK'S SHIRTS THAT HE'S BEEN SECRETLY STEALING FOR MONTHS. HE'S REALLY CLOSE TO A BREAKTHROUGH ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHESS IN COURTING RITUALS. AND HE'S GOT A SPREADSHEET OF SPOCK'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, AND ANOTHER ONE JUST FOR THE EYEBROW.
