The very next day was Christmas Day. Usually, Jim would sleep in until his shift starts and come to the bridge late, but today, he woke up early so that he could get to the mess hall to see if Bones have finished decorating. However, once he was nearing the turbolift, he saw someone unexpected and he smiled at the person. "Hey Spock, I thought your shift doesn't start until ten like mine?" Jim asked.

"I am well aware of the fact," Spock said calmly, "since it is Christmas Day, I am sure that you're excited to see the mess hall and to see Dr. McCoy's decorations. And I am sure that you will arrive late at the bridge and that is why I have waken up early to start your shift so that no one on the bridge would be confused on why the first officer or the captain isn't there yet. My shift doesn't start until 0800," he explained.

"That's so sweet of you, Spock," Jim said as he couldn't stop grinning as the two stepped into the turbolift. "Mess hall."

"Bridge," Spock said calmly as the two held the handles of the turbolift.

"So Spock, you're coming to the party tonight right after our shift?" Jim asked.

"If no work comes to me during the time, and I will comply to it," Spock replied.

Jim glared at him and he was about to retort something back but the turbolift doors opened. "You'll have a good time, Spock. I promise you that," Jim said and with that, he left the turbolift and hearing the words Spock had spoken so softly.

"I'll have a good time, if you're mine," he had said to himself to no one in particular as the turbolift resumed.

"Hey Bones, I see that the decorations of the mess hall is coming into!" Jim exclaimed as he entered the mess hall and saw lights, a Christmas tree in a corner, wreaths, candles, etc. and he saw his friend sitting at one of the tables nearby with Chekov as they drink to tea.

"Yes well, it's not quite done yet. However, it will be done by tonight," Bones reassured him.

"Why the hell you woken me up early before my shift, Bones? I'm sure we could have finished the decorating when my shift was done," Chekov complained as he had been up before Jim was.

"I do not want to send another gift to Spock during my time," Bones replied as he looked at Jim, "where is it anyway?" He asked.

Jim smirked, "There won't be a gift wrapped present for Spock, today, Bones. I'll be giving it to him tonight," he said.

Bones and Chekov stared at one another before looking at Jim. "What are you planning...?" Bones asked as he didn't trust Jim at all. Well, perhaps a 50/50 trusts but not completely 100%.

"Secret...." Jim replied with a secretive smile and Bones hated it when his plans were too involved him.

At the bridge, Spock was waiting patiently for his gift if Mr. McCoy are one of the other senior officers were going to bring it to him before Jim came onto the bridge. However, he was clearly surprised when he saw Jim, Uhura, and Chekov coming onto the bridge with no wrap gift in hand. "Captain, the bridge is yours and there is no casualties and nothing to report," Spock said calmly as he stood before him.

"Thank you Spock," Jim said with a smile as Spock tried not to melt right there on the bridge. "You can go to your station now, I can take it from here," he said as he sat on his chair.

"Of course," Spock said nodding as he went to the science station as it was right next to Uhura's own station. He leaned towards her so that Jim wouldn't hear what the two were speaking, however, Jim always knew what was going on the bridge so he saw Spock leaning forward to Uhura. "Uhura, you fully well know that I do know that Jim is the one sending me gifts. Why isn't he anymore?" He asked.

Uhura looked back at Jim who was casualty speaking to Chekov and then looked back at Spock who was waiting for an answer. She shrugged, "Perhaps you should wait for the party tonight, Spock. I'm sure you'll get it," she replied and she returned to her duty.

Spock nodded uncertainly as he returned back to his work. He knew that a pair of eyes were watching him and exactly knew whom their were. However, he had a plan as well for later tonight as he would give his Christmas gift to Jim.

The night shift began for the bridge and Spock and Jim were the last ones to file out off the bridge and onto the turbolift alone together. The night shift crew weren't going to the party that night, instead, they would be recieving secret gifts from which Bones had given them.

"This is going to be a fun party," Jim said smiling excitedly as he and Spock walked towards to the mess hall.

"I highly doubt that it would be," Spock muttered but Jim heard him.

"Why Spock! Aren't we grumpy all of a sudden? What's the matter? You didn't get your gift today?" Jim asked smirking.

Spock glared at him but he didn't had a chance to retort something back as the two had just entered the mess hall. "Oi! The both of you stop right there!" A familiar voice called out as the two looked up.

"Why? What's the matter Scotty?" Jim asked surprised.

Scotty smirked as everyone was watching the pair. "Look up," he said pointing up to the ceiling.

The two looked up and Jim began to twitch, "This wasn't my plan at all," he said as he glared at Bones who stood next to Scotty. "You did this, didn't you?" He asked.

"Hey, its payback for all the times you gotten me in trouble with your stupid adventure. Now do the tradition and kiss Spock on the lips! You can't do it on the cheek since that doesn't count!" Bones exclaimed with an evilly smile.

"Dr. McCoy, I assure you, that isn't necessary..." Spock began.

Jim snorted, "Spock, we are out numbered. You think we could get away from this by like, twenty people or more?" He asked.

"Spock, you know that I do love you as a friend, but if you don't do it, I surely will somehow get you and you won't be pleasant by it!" Uhura snapped.

Spock clearly understood Uhura's meaning and he hated the fact that he got threatened by a female. Jim was so distracted by speaking to Bones as he hadn't had the time to react when he felt him being pulled against Spock and Spock had leaned down and captured his lips in a kiss as Jim's mouth was opened. The two kissed for awhile before needing the air to breathe. The two stared at one another before they could hear cheers around the room. Jim smiled at Spock as well as Spock gave a rare smile to Jim shocking everyone in the room. The two knew that at the very moment, their lives had changed and that this was the Christmas that they would never forget.
