Spock's point of view.

Work Text:

I didn't realize it at the time, but Jim was right.

I did have something on my mind that prevented me from finding out sooner about the Orions.

At first I thought it was concern whether my father would be well enough to continue with the mission due to his health issues.

Mother was very anxious about father, where I by logic accepted it as is.  

My mind truly began to falter the moment Jim was injured though. I am uncertain why, but this is the truth.

I see that now. When he was lying there, helpless in bed, I could not think clearly.

Jim though being the man he is, selfless. Despite the pain he was in, he took back command in order for me to give blood to my father. 

Saying thank you to us is illogical, but in this case, I owe him much.

Deep down, perhaps even more than I realize.
