Work Text:

 

Mate. Mated. Such simple words.
Bashert. ~Dale M. Kushner (2000)

The world is a different place, today. It is and it is not.

It is the same world as it has always been, and yet it is, at the same time, entirely different.

It is not logical. But it is true.

And I think...I cannot help but think...that it is because of yesterday.

What happened yesterday has changed today. Has changed the world.

Yesterday.

Yesterday, I met James T. Kirk. Captain Kirk, I should say, of the starship Enterprise. James Kirk, I want to say, of...what?

What.

Mine? Of mine?

Dare I think it? Dare I say it?

I want him to be mine. I want him. I want.

And because of this...the world has changed. Is changing. Will change. The world, this ship, and perhaps the entire Universe.

And I cannot stop it. I cannot even try.

And for the first time, in my life...I do not want to.
