#and i like imagining a scenario where Spock confronts Kirk

[laney-rockin]

Silly little headcanon that in "Lost in Translation" Kirk DID in fact know that Vulcan's are touch telepaths and DID in fact know how to greet Vulcan's properly.

He was just very smitten with the science officer before him and figured "hey! fuck around and find out". And Spock was just as enamoured with Kirk to go along with it with no complaints.

(This is based off the fact that in "Journey to Babel" Kirk respectfully nods his head towards Sarek and doesn't immediately try to shake hands. It's a reach but honestly who could blame me? I like the idea of nerd boy Kirk learning how to be respectful to other races in the Federation but 100% be offering to throwdown with the sexy Vulcan he comes across on the Enterprise)
