Star Trek XI -- "Out of Character"

written for ksvalentine 2011

prompt: Unbeknownst to most of the universe, Sarek made a big soppy deal out of Valentine's Day every year for Amanda, because he had some sort of convoluted reasoning that worked out to him feeling logically justified in participating in his bondmate's culturally and historically significant rituals as a gesture of respect for her background. In reality, it was the one day of the year he let himself outwardly show almost human levels of adoration for his wife, because he thought she deserved it even if he couldn't bring himself to do it all the time. As a result of this, a thoroughly unromantic Spock is absolutely determined to sweep Jim Kirk off his feet, because that is just what one does on Valentine's Day when one has a human partner. Jim is kind of shocked and terrified at first. Massive bonus points for a happy, schmoopy ending, and yet more points for a sexy one.
