Characters: McCoy (Spock mentioned)

Summary: McCoy’s thoughts about his friendship with Spock after the events of Amok Time.
Leonard McCoy respected Spock, although he’d never admit it. They frequently sparred, trading barbs for the joy of sparring. Sometimes it was to assuage the boredom that resulted from long months in space, others to defuse a tense situation. They occasionally argued, Spock’s stubborn determination to put logic above emotion a constant source of irritation.
Bones had considered Spock an agelast for a long time, privately conceding that part of his impetus for baiting Spock was trying to break through the facade.
Until, thanks to some quick-thinking medical magic on McCoy’s part, Jim had seemingly come back from the dead after Spock believed he’d killed his Captain during Kal-if-fee. Bones was gleeful to see genuine emotion from Spock and couldn’t resist teasing him about his outburst.
Spock was no agelast. He was half-human and to acknowledge it could only be good for his mental health, in Bones’ professional opinion. So, he would continue to provide a human foil to the stoic Vulcan and look forward to every time he managed to break through.
One day, he might even get a genuine laugh.
