Spock didn't normally linger long in bed, not even when he was with Kirk. He would stay wide awake while Jim slumbered, preferring to rise and fill his time productively.

Once he drifted blissfully near to sleep himself, beside Jim, when suddenly he was disturbed by a faint vibration. There it was again. He was first puzzled, then alarmed. Was something wrong with the ship?

No, the mood aboard was peaceful. All was well. Then he almost laughed when he recognized the pattern. It was the hammering of Jim's powerful heart!

Even in sleep, Jim can't help shaking things up.
