Once upon a time, this happened on Chatzy & I thought I should share it
Spock: *complains about Jim refusing to file reports*
Bones: *grumbles something*
Spock: What was that, doctor?
Bones: I said, call him "baby."
Bones: I'm serious. It's like a moth to a flame.
Spock: Jim is not an infant.
Bones: Oh, for the love of...it's an endearment, Spock.
Spock: Will you provide an example of the endearment in use?
Bones: Will I...? Good lord, man, just whisper it in his ear.
Spock: Thank you, doctor. I will take that under advisement.
Spock: Jim...Captain, we must submit the report about Random Planet X to Starfleet this evening.
Jim: Yeah, yeah...I'll get to it.
Spock: *steps closer* If we finish it now, there will be time for chess before my meditation.
Jim: Just give me ten more minutes. I'm at a good part.
Spock: *takes another step* A book will not vanish during the night.
Spock: *leans close to Jim's ear* Jim...
Jim: *grins and hides his ear in his shoulder but keeps reading*
Spock: *hovers and exhales*
Jim: You make it really hard to concentrate.
Spock: *considers what Dr. McCoy told him*
Spock: *decides this is ridiculous and will not work but as a scientist...he should try before reaching a conclusion*
Spock: *very, very softly, and feeling very, very ridiculous* Baby...
Spock: *happily encouraged* We must file the report.
Spock: *takes the book from Jim's hands and marks his place, lays it aside*
Spock: *blows in his ear one more time for good measure, watches Jim shiver*
Jim: *looks at him in disbelief and licks his lips*
Spock: *puts the PADD containing the report details in front of him*
Jim: *messages Bones* Nice move.
Bones: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jim: I didn't tell you that so you could use it against me
Jim: I'm going to tell Carol about your hair-on-the-soap phobia
