Work Text:

Sometimes When We Touch
by Omega

 

<Fade-in>
The scene is in Sickbay. Spock, unconscious, lays on a biobed, his face and body covered in cuts, scrapes and bruises. A thin black sheet covers him up to his waist. McCoy stands nearby, in his blue uniform, looking very frustrated and sad.

Kirk enters the scene, wearing his Command shirt and a horrified expression. He has some bruises on his face and he walks with a slight limp. McCoy shakes his head and leaves the scene.

Close-up on Kirk's face. He stares at his lover with pain, regret, and....something else in his eyes. He sits down on a chair by Spock's side. He takes Spock's right hand between his own and begins to sing.

You asked me if I loved you
and I choked on my desire.
I'd rather hurt you honestly
than mislead you with a lie.
And who am I to judge you
in what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning
to see the real you.

His eyes close in anguish and he tightens his grip on Spock. Spock's heart monitor speeds up slightly.

Sometimes when we touch
the honesty's just too much.
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die.
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you
till the fear in me subsides.

Close-up on Spock. His face turns slightly towards Kirk, who doesn't notice. Kirk gets up and paces around in frustration.

Romance and all its tragedy
leaves me battling with my pride.
But through the insecurity
some tenderness survives.
I'm just an ordinary raider
still trapped within my truth.
A hesitant prizefighter
still trapped within my youth.

Kirk sits back down, his head swimming with memories. Memories of friendship and of unspoken love. He fears that he'll never get the chance to speak it.

Sometimes when we touch
the honesty's just too much.
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die.
Till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you
till the fear in me subsides.

Close-up on Spock. His eyes begin moving beneath his lids and his color improves. He swallows several times as if he's trying to get enough strength to speak. Kirk's fists clench and he continues singing.

At times, I'd like to break you
and drive you to your knees.
At times, I'd like to break through
and hold you endlessly.

He takes Spock's hand between his own again, squeezing gently.

At times, I understand you
and I know how hard you try.
I've watched how love commend you
and I've watched love pass you by.

Spock's hand tightens around Kirk's.

At times, I think we're still drifters,
still searching for a friend.
A brother or a sister,
then the passion flares again...
Sometimes when we touch
the honesty's just too much.
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die.
Till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you
till the fear in me subsides.

Spock's eyes finally open. Kirk smiles, his lips quivering, and finishes softly:

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides!

Kirk bends down and kisses his lover.

<Fade-out>
