Paramount owns Star Trek.

I own a computer, a couch, and a couple of kittycats.  Also three rats

Series: TOS

Rating: G

Codes: K/S

Summary:This is A Moment in Time I.  It takes place during Amok Time.

All hail the Scifi Channel for uncut Trek glory. This is told from

Kirk's POV. 



----

I was furious with him for hiding this--whatever it was.  I stormed into

his quarters, ready to push him down into his chair and hold him until

he told me what the fuck was going on.



But he moved like he'd lost control; jerky and abrupt, not at all like

the Spock I knew.  I almost--I don't know what I almost did.  Hell, this

was *Spock*.  As vulnerable as if he's been stripped naked on the

bridge--no, that wouldn't bother him like--whatever it was.



He moved to put his stylus down, and I saw his hand shaking.  Before I

could think (we don't touch Vulcans, we don't touch Vulcans, they

drilled it into me in the Academy, never touch Vulcans unless they touch

you first, dear God in heaven, don't touch Vulcans...) I took his hand

in mine.



Felt it vibrate in my grip, at though moved by an unknown force running

under his skin.



Felt it burn my skin--he was so hot, but I couldn't tell if he was

feverish--McCoy would have known at once--



--and he was inside my head, inside my body, all at once.  Every part of

me was suddenly part of him--



I let him go and became Captain James T. Kirk again, angry, strict.



But I was no longer quite alone inside my head--



Dear God in heaven, what has happened to me?

The End.
