Hokay so, I'm taking a break at work & am bored, but can't really work on anything longer than "short" because I won't be on break for too much longer. SO: first 5-10 (I seriously doubt it'll go over five, but juuust in case) people to comment with a request get a drabble written. (Like 100-300 words, most likely.) There is one rule, which is no

He can just feel that damn eyebrow raising behind him. "I do not understand why the fact that I helped code the latest incarnation of the Kobayashi Maru makes it different from any other test administered by Starfleet," Spock says.

Jim turns clumsily to him, squinting up. "Yeah? Well it is, okay? It--" and normally he'd never say something this stupid out loud, but god, his mouth's running away without him, and the words come tumbling out without his consent-- "if I fail this, it's like failing you, okay?"

There's a long, long pause. Jim fights the urge to close his eyes, blinking slowly instead. After a moment--well, it could just be Jim's tiredness, but Spock's face seems to soften a little.

"That statement is highly illogical," he tells Jim finally, but his voice is still hushed, almost gentle. His hand lingers on Jim's shoulder for a moment before he is leaning down and pulling Jim carefully from the chair.

"Dammit, Spock," Jim mumbles, "you--"

"You are not utilizing the full extent of your mental capabilities, Jim, or you would realize that study at this point is fruitless," Spock insists, turning Jim's body to steer him down the hallway and into the bedroom. "You will forget it all if you do not sleep," he tells Jim; then, "you will injure yourself, if you do not sleep," more softly.

Jim makes a feeble noise, but Spock's hands are firm against his back, pushing him down onto to bed, and Jim can't help but close his eyes when his body hits the flat surface. Fuck, he's so tired. He can already feel his body dragging him into unconsciousness. But there was something important to say, wasn't there?--"what if I'm not good enough?" he forces out, mumbling it into the pillow.

He imagines he hears a quiet "you are" in reply, and feels a hand in his hair, but he's been pulled down into sleep by that point, so who's to say. Could all be a dream.

This is absolutely perfect!

"if I fail this, it's like failing you, okay?"

*Dies a little inside* Oh, Jim! You can be such a woobie.

Thank you so much for writing it :)

:D I'm so glad you liked it! And yeah, Jim is a little silly sometimes when it comes to feelings, haha. You are so absolutely welcome!

Thank you so, so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hmm, I'm less tempted to turn this one into a full story just because the epicness of such an undertaking is really daunting, but you never know. *grin* Somehow I always end up writing things I don't mean to! But ahhh, how sweet of you to call me one of your faves when I BARELY have my toes in this fandom. *blush* Thank you, my dear.
