Something eased inside Kirk that he didn't even know was tensed up, a pressure that resembled a giant fist locked around his heart released. His breath shuddered out, and he turned to face the other two in the room. They stood together, hands still linked together in an intimate gesture for Spock. Just being close together like this, specially in front of someone else, was intimate for Bones and himself.
Bones could no more lose Kirk then he could his own heart. Instead of terrifying Kirk like it should have, the knowledge that the reverse was no different gave him a sense of security like nothing else in the world could. They stood together as captain and officer, friend and friend, lover to lover.
They could handle this, too.
"Well then," Kirk said in a slightly lame tone, a small grin coming to his face. It didn't stop things from being awkward, only time and testing would take care of even some of that, but it was a start. He reached down and squeezed Bones' hand, encouraging and tender, before stepping forward. "Where were we?" Since, suddenly, everything was okay. The reservations of moments before were gone.
He grabbed Spock's shirt and pulled him back into the kiss they had started, his entire body thrumming with a certain sense of victory and depth that could be seen in every line of his body as much as felt through the touch of their lips.
