Kirk gave the slightest shake of his head. He swallowed again, feeling faint traces of saliva wetting his throat but not enough. Bones' hand, for once, felt warm under his skin. His fingers wouldn't fully curl, just enough to grasp very weakly.
It felt like the fingers had no strength at all. His right hand curled in the bedsheets, tensing with a stronger grip.
He could feel a general soreness through his whole body, but he didn't want to be sedated. It was something Bones had yelled at him about in the past, that he wouldn't take enough painkillers for it to be effective, when Bones could even get him to take it at all.
