Mermaids.... because I don't need a bloody reason

[done_in_3]

Well the party was hopping, if you could say that about a vulcan party. It was certainly happening. People were certainly milling about and holding beverages and conversations. Jim was eager to get to land again, his clothes and shoes stowed away as usual for when he returned to land. He'd slip into those and appear on the beach and into the party like he just came from around the corner. Nobody would notice... except the entire party of land vulcans who weren't accustomed to a blond haired blue eyed bipedal with rounded ears. So of course he was the talk of the crowed as he worked his way through. He's scanning the crowd, nodding, acknowledging, being a part of the party maybe? Well no he was a spectacle but it wasn't until he ran right into someone that it actually got awkward [hehe...]

"Ah-- woah, sorry about that. I apologize, I wasn't paying attention." he nearly spilled the guy's whole drink. He grabbed his hand, steadying it before it could spill all over him.

"Wasn't watching where I was going....wait are you...." oh shit. Oooooh shit shit shit, he's going to die. It's Spock. He could just die right now, slip into the sea and forget it, he's done.

"....Hey." too bad the vulcan has no idea who HE is.

"Courtship? Like...dating?" Geez gee hit jackpot.

"I'd like that. Only one problem... I'm not on land very often. One day a month actually. I can't assume you'd be interested in such a slow pace."

[spohkh]

Spock doesn't mind if that's the way it has to be, but part of him is slightly saddened.

"You cannot stay for one more day?"

[done_in_3]

Just slightly? Does he care at all?

"I don't like it either but that's the way it has to be." he looked away defensively.

[spohkh]

Spock tilts his head, wondering if he offended Jim. "My apologies... please, let us continue our walk. I will, as you might say, 'take what I can get'. If you are to leave tomorrow, I wish to take advantage of the time we have."

[done_in_3]

"What are you sorry for? I'm sorry I can't be here more... I look forward to my one day all month. I wish I could stretch it out but it's... just not possible. But if you want to stick with me despite that then you got yourself a deal." he smiled.

"Now tell me about the plants here, they're amazing." and the wind and the smells, the fact he could smell at all... all new senses.

But he wonders how far he can take this one night...

[spohkh]

The time passes by in much happiness for Spock. He doesn't remember enjoying someone's company so much before. Oh wait, he's Vulcan, of course he remembers.

There's been no one in his life he's been with whom he's enjoyed being with more.

Jim's curious nature attracts Spock, and it's almost like the other man has a gravitational force that he's being pulled into. But that's okay, Spock will gladly orbit around this excited ball of energy that exudes beauty and brilliance. He thinks he could stay there forever.
They eventually make it down to the pier.


"Where is your ship?"

you wanna fade to black for them getting sexy times?

[done_in_3]

Same for Jim, he feels so relaxed by the time it's over and they're at the pier. It's dusk, the suns are setting beautifully over the horizon.

"A ways out, I'll get to it on my own." he turns to Spock, wondering if he could milk just one more thing from him before he has to disappear for a while.

"I've got a little more time..." he leaned in, whispering softly.

hmmm..... maybe the following month?

[spohkh]

Spock was a bit oblivious, but then he couldn't help but sense the undercurrent of desire in the way that Jim said those words.

It was very little effort to bridge the gap between them and place his lips against the other man's.
For Spock, it was like embracing the crash of waves on the shore. Jim's mind was vibrant and powerful... and Spock liked it a lot.

Re: hmmm..... maybe the following month?

[done_in_3]

He's relieved Spock accepted. His kiss was a rare gift and it gave very special powers, the ability to breath underwater indefinitely.

Spock might not notice the change.

He smiled when he pulled away.

"Hmm I wonder if I'll be able to leave at all after that."

[spohkh]

Spock had a moment of panic, he didn't want Jim to go.

"Then do not. What is so pressing that you must leave?"

[done_in_3]

He smiled and leaned back in, kissing him softly.

"I've got a few hours, I can stay with you if you want...but I might change into a mermaid at midnight if I don't get back in the water." he chuckled. That's so ridiculous but unfortunately it's the truth.

[spohkh]

Spock has heard the 'pumpkin' reference on occasion, so he assumed that this was one of those sayings. Still, he tilts his head in confusion as he regards Jim's smiling face. Instead of asking for clarification, Spock takes Jim's hand and starts to walk along the coast. He blushes at the intimacy of the action, and hopes that no other Vulcans see them down here.

[done_in_3]

He doesn't care much about the whims of onlookers. If they have an opinion they can meet his indifference. He's happy to walk with Spock along the shore.

"You seem like a daring individual, you commit to a man you just met. Though I'll admit I make it an easy sell for you. Where shall I meet you next time? Right here?"

[spohkh]

"It is quite normal for a Vulcan. When one finds their T'hy'la, then they do not let go."

Spock looks warily at the water, then at Jim. "Perhaps by the pier? The surf here can get quite rough, and I cannot swim."

[done_in_3]

"T'hy'la... I know that word but I don't think I've seen it in my lifetime." it's something that was on several documents and slabs of stone that were in sunken ships. His people excavated them and learned about the world above. Well, the two species were in contact back then anyway, before the great cutoff.

"That's pretty substantial. Are you sure?" he leaned his head against Spock's shoulder.

[spohkh]

"Very sure." Spock can feel the warm buzz beneath his skin as he squeezes Jim's hand.
"T'hy'la is not as completely rare as some might think, as there are certain clans of Vulcans who experience the phenomenon more than others. However, it is rare to find your T'hy'la who is not Vulcan."
He nuzzles Jim's forehead because it's right there.

[done_in_3]

He wraps both his hands around Spock's arm. He wanted to remember his warmth and how he feels under his touch.

"Who says I am not vulcan?" he chuckled "Our world is called vulcan therefore everything organic to this planet is vulcan. Right? But I know what you mean, normally t'hy'la are within your species. Well consider yourself ever so fortunate, Spock. You get to have me."

And he's seriously going to try to seduce this kid up until he has to endure his agonizing transformation and return to the sea.

[spohkh]

The Vulcan hesitates. There's a large part of him that just wants to embrace Jim and keep him forever, or just fuck him senseless.

...He could do both. But the traditional part of himself is scolding him, telling him that those types of activities were kept until after an official bonding ceremony. So he finally decides to give Jim the decision. Leaning in, he embraces Jim... nuzzling the side of his face. "What do you want Ashaya?"

[done_in_3]

He's up for fucking senseless. Maybe it's lewd but he's not going to see this guy for a month and they aren't kids, they're grown adults. At least to him that was enough to just make that choice for himself.

He holds him tight burying his nose in Spock's shirt and inhaling deeply. God that smell got him horny. Surely smells were used for that kind of thing on land?

"Mmm... I know a little cove around here that's pretty private. We can do anything we want in there...just cuddle or fuck each others' brains out. Whatever you prefer. Me of course...." he took another deep breath of Spock. "I won't see you for a while...so I want something to remember."

haha, I guess a fade is in order.

[spohkh]

Spock couldn't argue with that as he got Jim to lead them towards the cove.
He wasn't experienced in sex, but with Jim, there couldn't be a wrong, what mattered is that they were together in every way possible.

When Spock blinked his eyes awake, the sky was just starting to light up in pre-dawn. Something was missing...

:P *puts on smooth jazz*

[done_in_3]

Jim appreciated Spock obliging him. He was a very loving, giving, and talented lover... not experienced but he had potential once they got to communicating their preferences to each other. Jim was a bit greedy and wanton with Spock, he wanted a much as he could have of his lover. Perhaps that was exhausting but he thought that was forgivable, even admirable.

When Spock woke up, Jim was gone but he'd left a letter for him.


4:13 am.

Sorry I had to leave you. I really didn't want to but I couldn't wait another minute. I'm so glad I found you. Last night was beyond words but I enjoyed every second as you well know.

I want to see you again this date next month. I'll be at the shore here if you're available...

I love you.

Jim.

There's a strange symbol next to his name that can't be translated into any language known to vulcans. Other than that, Spock seems to have been left alone and undiscovered.

pfffffft oooh, there should be a month where Spock isn't there because something happened.

[spohkh]

Spock sighs. He knew that Jim had to leave, but he couldn't help but feel lonely in that moment, wishing that his T'hy'la was here to wake next to after a night of lovemaking.
It was an amazing night though... and Spock couldn't help but remember every single detail as he stretched. He shook his head, why did Jim have to leave? Did he truly have to wait a month to see him again? He knows they agreed that this was to be the arrangement, but still... he wanted Jim.

Ready to make his excuses, Spock walked back home to wait out a month, pining for Jim.

Jim will be so sad and write Spock a note and leave it at his door.

[done_in_3]

Remember his voice and taste well, Spock. He's certainly remembering yours vividly right now.

That month passed so slowly for Jim who only wanted to fall asleep in Spock's arms breathing his scent. But he toiled away in the ocean only to return a supposedly normal human looking vulcan.

He resurfaced near shore and quickly donned the clothes he'd hidden for himself. He ought to wash these or buy more. They smelled like salt water which wasn't bad per se...

He looked around for Spock.

aww~

[spohkh]

Spock was sitting on the dock, tailor style with his eyes closed as the sun slowly rose up out of the water.
He always liked meditating here, even if water wasn't his thing. Plus, he found that he was getting too impatient waiting for Jim, so meditating was the best way to go before he drove himself crazy.

[done_in_3]

Jim is excited Spock was already waiting for him. He had to approach him special somehow, so be prepared vulcan for a pair of lips delivering a kiss out of nowhere. Jim had snuck up to Spock as quiet as possible and crouched before him.

He should pull back and say hello but he just wants to lay Spock back and spend the rest of the day in his arms.
