“Why are you hovering back there Spock?”
“Where exactly?”
“There, behind me. It’s frustrating to talk to you when I can’t see you.”
“Oh?”
“Yes Spock. Why are you back there and not in front of me or beside me? What’s going on?”
“Well, remember when you asked me the question.”
“Which one?”
“The one about us always having each other’s backs.”
Rolling his eyes.
“Yes, Spock, I do.”
“So, I am, having your back, Captain.”
Sighs heavily.
“Spock, you are too literal. It means, being there for the other.”
“Oh?”
“Yes. Oh.”
“So… what if I still want to remain here, at your back, side?”
“Spock? What’s going on?”
Only met by silence.
“Spock?”
Turning to look at Spock.
“It’s just that… I really, really like your backside, Jim.”
The wide grin, is priceless.
