[ The feed clicks on to show Jim in a garage leaning against the open hood of a car, a dark-haired woman wrapped in his arms. Chinning her shoulder, he leans over to press fond, familiar kisses over her jaw and cheek, wherever he can reach. The good humor of his chuckles is echoed as the screen wobbles. ]

Is this thing on? [ The nuzzle to her neck is playful, as punishments go, for distracting him. Hi, City. ] Hey, this is Saya. We're, uh ... We're together. Bones, Spock, I want you to meet her tonight at dinner.

[She tips her head, every time he goes for a kiss, to try and catch his mouth, but the truth is she's not trying hard, because she's enjoying the attention. Anyone who knows her, who's seen with, and even who's slept with her knows that this isn't typical behavior.

But then she turns her attention on the camera, because Jim said something and it actually did cut through the haze of the honeymoon.]

It won't take long, I don't think. If that's a concern.

It's not a concern, don't worry! They're nice guys. [ Jim, too, appears a little more smitten than he's been with anyone or anything since he was commissioned for his ship. He squeezes his arms around her waist. ] You can stay as long as you want.

[There's a pause, and the corners of her lips curl up in a smile that is more real than her usual one.]

So dinner - and we'll see how it goes from there.

[She takes a moment, and finally catches Jim's mouth, and there's a kiss, as she reaches over and turns the feed off.]

(OOC: Lovestruck curse! Replies will be coming from both Jim and Saya, who got hit by Stupid Cupid.)

No? [ Hah, expecting Jim to remember people ... ] Bones, c'mon, you can't not come to dinner.

You'll find you'll need to work to keep up with me.

[She remembers you, too.]

I don't usually fall in love, so I don't usually ask people for things on behalf of others.

It would make him happy.

[Oh. Well, that does earn a broad smile.]

Not nearly enough, but I'll take what I can get. Just remember you said as much when it really counts. Alright?

[Like. Tomorrow.]

What? No. It's fine.

That's really not going to be a problem.

[ because normally he doesn't really have a problem with watching but rn he's not totally in the uh mood ]

Congratulations. [ wait for it ] It's a beautiful car.

Doesn't it always count?

[ Haha wut. ]

[OH HELLO SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT MY CAR???]

Hello, Tony.

It is a beautiful car. I just redid the entire internal system, and I'm working on the undercarriage. The roads here can't be trusted, they need extra fortification, but the trick is to keep the entire system lighter than before for speed.

But I, I feel like ...

[ Yes, well done! Frowning, Jim sits up to think it through. ]

Spock, this feels so right.

[ EXPLAIN. ]

Then you would be the only one outside of Jim to say that.

But it's very nice to meet you, as well.

I was his dormmate. Of course, I remember.

[ guess who usually never got to see his own bed like four days a week????? also, not commenting on the girlfriend part. ]

If it's a curse, it might last an entire day, maybe longer. We might not be able to do something about it unless we figure out how to disable it. When his eyes got switched before, he mentioned something about touching someone else before he got them back to normal.

Oh my God, take me right now.

[ Laughing, he nuzzles her hair and sways them a little side to side as they talk to Tony. ]

Yes. Don't mind me, you must be thinking about dinner with your mates.

If you so insist, Ginny.

[She must be addled, it's not her last name]

So no arguments, then?

[He holds up the Vulcan salute, and then cuts the feed. HOOBOY.]

No? So how'd you meet her?

[ actually maybe he shouldn't ask. ]

[She turns, and here, have a real kiss, and fingers slipping up the front of his shirt.]

You got that in common, actually.

[ straight to his weakness, jfc. ]

I could, right over the hood.

It is wise to retrace one's steps and determine how one reached that conclusion.

[Don't make him have to nerve-pinch you.]

[Who knew she was so good at that]

Making him happy?

In the garage? The second I saw her it was like she was all I wanted. Bones, I honest to God think I've fallen for her.

I'm the luckiest man in this nexus, hands down.

_{( captain this is completely undignified.

anyway, sulu's voice and expression are perfectly controlled as he says: )}

I suppose congratulations are in order.
