Leonard leaves a flower on jim’s chair for valentines day. Something Jim almost misses when he goes to sit down, but catches just before he takes his usual seat

Its simple and sweet, but he’s confussed. He would expect a red rose since they were dating, but instead he found himself looking at a bright pink rose that made his whole body shiver.

He has to look up the meaning of the flower (cuz he knows his boyfriend. This has to be on purpose.) and is only more confussed when he reads about appreciation and thank yous.

He’s not sure what his boyfriend is so appreciative about, but he’ll gladly accept the thought.

He puts it out of his mind for the rest of his shift, giving the flower occassional glances and smiling to himself.

When he gets to his quarters that night he finds leonard sitting at his dinner table with a home cooked meal set up in front of him and another rose.

This one is the proper red rose, but jim can’t be bothered to thank leonard for it. Instead, he lifts up the bright pink rose so leonard can see it and just says “why pink? You finally starting to appreciate all the trouble i get into to give your life a little spice?”

Jim expects leonard to glare at him, but instead he’s met with a soft chuckle and the sight of his boyfriend standing up and walking over to him

“Thank you.” Jim rolled his eyes. He already knew what the flower meant and he didn’t leonard to mess with him “seriously jim, its a thank you”

“For what though?” Jim frowned “im constantly messing up and upsetting you and getting hurt or in trouble”

“Thank you” leonard says once more, a but more firmly as he reaches out to place a hand against Jim’s cheek “for making every day worth living”

Jim doesnt ‘accidently’ wear Leonard’s shirts (uniform included). It is 100% pure Jim Kirk shit head intention to strut down the hallways with a proud smile as the blue medical uniform hangs a littke off his shoulder

Its normal for crew to see him in a variety of Leonards cloths, his favorite being an old University hoodie that Leonard has patched up holes im and repaired over and over again. The only readable words on it anymore are medicine, and thats partially because Leonard actually bought anouther hoodie, cut out the M and one E, and patched them onto the old hoodie.

Jim is super proud of who hes dating, and he wants the universe to know. The best way of making sure that happebs, is being seen in Leonards clothing as much as possible.

Leonard, for his part, never actually stops Jim from strutting out of his quarters in one of his shirts. And if he places a nice shirt in the perfect place for Jim to grab, while thats not something he’ll ever admit to.

When Jim pops the question, it’s in private. 

It’s not flashy, or big. It’s actually quiet small, and Leonard almost misses it completely. 

They’re cuddled up on the couch playing old video games together and talking about the last mission.

Leonard has a soft smile on his face, and Jim just can’t help it. He doesn’t even know what exactly he’s doing when he takes off his acadamy grad ring and  holds it out to Leonard. 

Leonard gives him a weird look, but slowly takes the ring and examines it as if it were a pateint with an injury in need of his care, and that’s when Jim does it. He beams over at Leonard and proudly declares, you accepted the ring, now you have to marry me.

It takes Leonard a good minute to figure out what just happened, and Jim definitly sleeps on the couch that night for being an absolute failure at marriage proposals.

However, the next morning while Jim is picking out his breakfast in the mess hall, Leonard walks up behind him and carefully wraps his arms around his waist. Jim is certain it’s Leonard’s way of saying “sorry for over reacting”, but he’s quickly proven wrong when Leonard puts his moms old engagement ring (the one he always wears on his pinky) and states (that’s an engagement ring, not a god damned grad ring”

Jim doesn’t care that the entire mess hall goes quiet when he turned around and kisses Leonard. anyone else would have mistaken the jesture for Leonard trying to prove a point, but Jim knows his boyfriend too well. He knows exactly what Leonard is asking by taking off the one possession he never removes (except for showers and bed) and putting it on Jim’s tray.
