[Kirk's Quarters] -- [Kirk and Bones]

[kirktastic]

Kirk felt somewhat better when returning from engineering. Hearing his lady talk had been an absolute pleasure, and briefly he wondered if she had spoken to anyone else like that or he was her first. That thought made him laugh, and the last tensions of the night spilled away. There would be too much to deal with the next day, but right now the only thing he wanted to do was sleep.

He crept into his own quarters since he knew Bones was asleep there. Kirk quickly stripped himself down and vanished into the bathroom long enough for a fast sonic shower and to brush his teeth, then crawled up along side of Bones.

When he buried his head gently against the back of Bones' head, he could immediately smell the liquor that had obviously been what rocked his friend to sleep that night (or possibly decked him in the back of the head with a sledgehammer.) We'll get to just go out and sleep on the beach for a while, and maybe go get some really good seafood. Wanna spend some time in the sun, heard they have rock climbing, swim...

The idea made him smile and he wrapped his arms around Bones' body, whispering something too quiet to hear against the other's ear before he let himself fall asleep.

And Bones was the last person that really could read him so well. The rest had distanced themselves.. or died.

The smile that he could see on Bones' face gave a swell to such hope in his chest he thought it would explode. Could Bones really mean it? The problem was Kirk just didn't understand it. Why? He couldn't give Bones his world and never leave it... he wasn't built to be monogamous, and if his elder self was any tell, he definitely wasn't going to get any better. What could Bones possibly get from a relationship with him except heartbreak?

(He knew exactly what he got from this. Or could get, if it was true. The love of a a good man that wouldn't turn away from him, the knowledge that someone actually cared about him in this place, that he would never be alone again.)

But he thought of the look Bones had given him earlier, the one he was been given right now, and decided... he was willing to try.

"...Long as you're sure." The easy words were belied by the tight tone as they caught in his throat. Trying to play easy what was far from it, but also, at the same time... agreeing with Bones' statement. That he was ready for this.

A slow nod was his only response, trying to look so much calmer than he felt. Bones was certain that Jim could probably hear his heart thumping loudly from across the room.

Damn, it was getting late. At this rate, even with his late start he'd be behind schedule today. "I'll see you later," he told Jim, another sad smile at leaving. Moving slowly, he pulled himself away from Jim's bedroom (and Jim's naked form), and headed out the door toward his own quarters.

Kirk let out a slow breath and scrubbed a hand over his face. "...Jim, whatcha got yourself into now?" He muttered to himself, levering his body out of bed. He scratched his stomach, making a face at the drying substance there, and went to get a shower.

And try not to think of...

Oh fuck it, he'd just wank in the shower.
