When the bond had first come into being, it had been a thing so subtle, so weak, that it could have been snapped like a loose thread. When it had bloomed into a full bond, it had been a thing of terror, created during Spock's first pon farr that had nearly shattered the human he had been forced on. When it had survived years and years of their lives, it had become something that neither could live without.
Here, in his mind, things could happen that he never would have allowed outside of it. He could show that weakness to the single person that shared in them, protected against them, would not take advantage of. So for now Pike could cling hold onto Spock, feeling their own desperate strength as they physically tried to hold onto what had nearly been lost.
