But they don’t tell anyone, they are both introverted people and don’t feel comfortable showing it to more people. They dare to do more things, like sleeping at night together. This post is longer, I put a “Keep reading”:Īs their love grows, McCoy becomes more affectionate, he treats Spock especially well and Spock appreciates it. And they trust each other more to talk about all their insecurities in the relationship.

Little by little they start to hold each other in their arms, caress each other’s shoulders, hair, face… all this in private. Once they have been together for a while, they decide to talk about it and discover that they both want to show their affection, but thought the other didn’t want to. And although Spock would like to casual touch him more often, he stops doing so, which makes McCoy insecure. The Vulcan knows that Bones must be given his private space, and he verifies it when he sees that even when they are together, the doctor does nothing. He knows about romantic relationships, since he had been in several ones, that is to say, he has the experience, but he doesn’t know how to use it with Spock. He’s also a little embarrassed to question, and asks permission every time he wants to hug him or do any of those things. He knows that Spock has been raised as a Vulcan and not as a human, and he’s not sure if he’ll like that sort of thing. He doesn’t know if Spock will take a hug, a touch or a kiss. I think McCoy is embarrassed to show his affection at first. THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN THE NORMAL UNIVERSE
