I saw someone else point this out so I want to post about it too. James T Kirk holds people’s shoulders before kissing them. He held Spock the exact same way. He was going to kiss Spock. Also Spock saying, “please captain, not in front of the klingons” is so gay.
[Image ID: A digital drawing of, from left to right, McCoy, Spock, and Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series. They are cuddling in the dark on a magenta bed with a single rounded corner visible. The pillows have been overlaid with a glittery sequin effect and the bedding has been overlaid with a very slight fabric effect. McCoy is fast asleep, laying close to Spock’s chest and lightly embracing him, his hand resting just underneath Spock’s shoulder blade. The corner of the blanket that the three of them are sharing is partially wrapped around his body and pulled over his forearm, and his leg sticks out from underneath the covers. His face is partially obscured underneath Spock’s bicep. He is wearing a grey short-sleeved t-shirt and navy blue pajama pants and has a slightly grumpy look on his face. Spock is also asleep, with his chin resting on top of McCoy’s head. One arm is draped over McCoy’s shoulder and neck, with his hand disappearing under the pillow they are sharing. His other arm is tucked under the same pillow, with his forearm and hand emerging at the top and resting near the top of his own head. He is wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt, and is covered by the blanket from the waist down. His head is in on top of two overlapping pillows, sharing one with McCoy and the other with Kirk. Spock is being spooned from behind by Kirk. Kirk is awake and has a tender smile on their face, which is tucked against the nape of Spock’s neck and half obscured. Their eye is half-lidded and gazing in the direction of their own hand, which is resting on Spock’s shoulder, overlapping McCoy’s hand. They are stroking Spock’s shoulder with their thumb and a small pink heart is drawn by their thumbnail. They are shirtless and covered by the blanket from the chest down. Their head is resting on the second pillow being shared with Spock, and a third pillow lays unused on the right side of the image. End ID]
