"Oh," Jim said succinctly. He should have thought of that. "Oh, well... My advice is that you do so. Maybe you have less capacity for guilt than I do, but there's no point in finding out. I wasn't guilty, mind you, about the sex--I felt guilty about not thinking of them first and determining if it was all right. Acting on my own in something I'm no longer alone in. Whatever is between you, I think it should be between both of you. Understood, however informally."

He didn't think Bones would want to change Jim. But that wasn't his place to determine. And however Jim might rebel at the thought of being tied down, it wasn't fair to assume McCoy's feelings were the same.
