Summary
written for this prompt on trekkink: Kirk didn't save Spock because "they're friends", he did it because he's madly in love with Spock. He wanted to tell him that when he was dying, but chickened out at the last second. Cut to later, after everything when Kirk is all healed and hears that Spock and Uhura broke up. Unwilling to let his second chance go to waste, he runs clear across Starfleet to see Spock, corners him, and finally tells him. Bonus for a long, impassioned speech, which he will not let Spock interrupt. Once he's through, Spock informs him that he and Uhura broke up when he was in a coma, months ago. Also, his reason for doing it was that he was conflicted over his feelings for Kirk. After some stumbling around in logic-ese, Kirk gets that Spock is basically saying "Me too". Kirk proceeds to spaz and attempt to kiss the logic out of Spock.
tl;dr: Kirk tried to confess when he was dying, failed, and succeeds epically later. When he does, Spock reciprocates.
