Cold
Fandom: Star Trek TOS
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Rating: PG
Summary: Missing scene from The Wrath of Khan. Drabble.
Words: Exactly 150
Notes: Written for the comment_fic prompt: heat of life vs coldness of death.
Spock is cold.
Somehow that's the part that seems most wrong. Not the stillness of the chest, not the visible radiation burns, not even the aching emptiness in his mind. No, it's the unnatural coolness of Spock's skin that finally brings the tears.
Almost from the moment they met, Spock has meant warmth, and Kirk chokes back a sob as it hits him that never again will Spock be warm. Never again will he argue with Spock over what temperature to keep the apartment, or be forced to wander around in his underwear because Spock has a cold and needs the heat on full, or wake up in the middle of the night, overheated because his Vulcan husband has curled against him in his sleep.
Kirk's vision blurs and he buries his face in his hands, thinking that he would give anything if only he could feel that heat again.
