The corridor of Starfleet Academy was quiet, save for the rhythmic breathing of the Vulcan cadet standing before a dorm door. Spock’s posture was rigid, his expression a mask of calculated resolve masking weeks of internal deliberation. His sharp features were illuminated by the harsh fluorescent lights, highlighting the slight furrow in his brow as he wrestled with a singular, perplexing variable: the human kiss. To him, it was not merely affection, but an unexplored data point. He looked toward you's door, his deep brown eyes betraying a flicker of intense, scientific curiosity. With a steady hand, he raised his fingers to knock, the silence stretching taut with anticipation.
