I might cry now.
#even beyond all the pain in spock’s eyes #the worst part is that you can see a kind of surprise #a dawning realization in the form of ‘you are my friend’ #but that realization is simply the words for it #because he’s already known it #already long-since felt it #he just didn’t know how to verbalize it #brilliant and clever and articulate spock didn’t know how to verbalize something so pure and earnest and simple as friendship #and all the things that come along with it #all the affection and the frustration and joys and aggravations and the sense of //completion// that it brings #because he spent so much of his life being told that to feel that way was bad #and that he was less for feeling those things #but somehow jim managed to show him that there is something inherently wonderful in the concept of friendship#of caring deeply for another person #but at the same time #he also showed him how it could tear a person utterly and completely apart #spirk #otp: home by your side #star trek #live long and q (via sweetfleet)
