K/S Hospital Scene bc Into Darkness was so K/S TASTIC

[done_in_3]

It was so sudden. He woke up with a flash, bright lights, soft sounds, a bed, he was alive?? But he'd died in the chamber...in engineering. Spock and he had exchanged that vulcan hand-thing whatever the hell it was. He'd died, he was dead. Was this heaven? Holy....

No. Bones was here nagging at him.

"Oh don't be so melodramatic, you were barely dead. You've been out cold for two weeks."

He was so...taken aback. What had happened? He just remembered being in the locked chamber watching Spock shed tears, glimmering tears of anguish as he slowly died of radiation poisoning... his heart lurched at the memory. He didn't know the vulcan was even capable...

And then Spock was in the room, approaching him. Suddenly... everything else was forgotten. Hell even Bones was gone in his mind, though he could hear the doctor put in a "You know Uhura and I had something to do with it too."

"....Thanks, Spock... for saving my life..."

_{[He sighed, rolling his eyes as she got only angrier.]}

No he's pretty good at telling me when he's mad. And for the record--... wha what are you doing?

_{[She got so calm and that was a bad sign. A deep breath? What was happening? Oh he'd stepped into fuckville hadn't he? Her voice was low, almost peaceful and yet he knew she wanted nothing more then to gut him like a fish.]}

I didn't do anything. What are you talking about. Hey can we not be so... hostile? _{[He smiled, putting his hands up in surrender.]}

I know you're mad at me but I promise I've got nothing but Spock's best interest at heart.

[gift_of_tongue]

You. Smell. Like. Him.

[Nyota was practically seething at this point.]

[demon_prosecutor]

Ah.... yeah?

That's... okay I know you're angry but Spock and I made a choice it's... it was never something we did to hurt you personally.

_{[He used his lilting charming voice that normally skirted him from trouble. He wore a small smile he knew wasn't going to work and he stepped back from her a bit. Talk about playing with fire, he felt like he was playing with a phaser on overload.]}

Look take it out on me. Be mad at me, alright? Hate me forever, that's fine.

[gift_of_tongue]

[Nyota's face seemed to crumble for a moment as she turned away from Kirk, her hands on her head in frustration...]

Dammit Kirk! It's only been a day...

[She only took a couple of seconds to feel sorry for herself, then she turned once again to Jim, poking his chest a long nailed finer.]

You were so eager to get into his pants... Just tell me... tell me this wasn't just so you could add another notch to your bedpost... or for some perverted achievement for stealing a Vulcan's virginity.

[Uhura was at a bit of a loss... The last thing she wanted to do was talk about sex with Kirk... but she needed to know that Jim took this seriously....

...and she hoped that he was at least gentle with Spock.]

[demon_prosecutor]

Why are you so defensive over him? He doesn't belong to you anymore. What I do the same thing you were doing for years and suddenly I'm the bad guy?

_{[he talked around her words, over her, in between-- anything to be heard. She was poking him and his voice raised a bit. He was getting annoyed.]}

He's not-- dammit he doesn't belong to anyone alright? He can do whatever he wants!

_{[he was talking over her completely, not listening to her words so much. He got the gist of it. 'You only wanted to bang him so you could say you did and now you're going to leave him like everyone else blah blah blah VIRGIN.' Weird... wait. What?]}

...what did you just say?

[gift_of_tongue]

[When she saw that Jim finally got it... Uhura backed up to give him some space...
...but her death-glare didn't waver.]

For years? Kirk...

...Jim. Spock and I dated for three years... and the only thing we ever did was kiss. And not often.

[She turned her head and rolled her eyes...] I can't believe I'm talking to you about this.

Jim... Spock is Vulcan. Someone who was trained from birth to reign in his emotions... Spock and I were taking our relationship slow for a reason. He always told me he wasn't emotionally ready for it.

[She put her head down... and seemed to deflate a bit.]
He's still my friend Kirk... I just don't want to see him hurt.

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[Jim looked a bit horrified or like someone had just punched him in the gut. Spock was... was a virgin? Well... that explained a lot. He'd been so stoic, Jim figured that was just his style... but he was so reactive. Now it made sense. He'd never.... damn had he never had an orgasm before? Anything? He wondered just what Spock thought of sex now...]}

I...ah... wow... okay. _{[he looked out at the ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge. He needed a minute... and yet he had so many thoughts already spewing out.]}

Spock never said anything like that to me. He came to my hospital room, he initiated that conversation. He put it all down on the table, said he was going to be by my side forever, in whatever context I wanted. I said I wanted to be together, he agreed... we just... went from there. I'm going to live here now. I... I meant it when I said yes to him.

_{[in his moment of shock he was able to get this out and he knew he had to say it for both of their sakes. Their relationship hung in the balance which meant the bridge climate and their future in Enteprise hung in the balance.]}


nothing... nothing I've done with him today... did he ever say he had to slow down or stop. I just figured this was old hat for him...

_{[He felt like such a cad now. He didn't want to ruin his one and only... but he hadn't been that harsh, he'd been good to him!]}

[gift_of_tongue]

[Uhura huffed... then stood beside Kirk, looking out at the bay.]

Men... they never talk about anything...
Kirk, just make sure you talk to him.... make him say everything that's on his mind, otherwise, he'll never bring it up. Communication with a Vulcan is absolutely key.

[She couldn't believe she was already giving relationship advice to the man she lost to.]

My only worry at this point are Spock's intentions. He's always had issues with acceptance, and I made sure from the beginning that we wouldn't do anything he wasn't ready for, and I wouldn't turn him away. Sure, it was frustrating at times...but we got through.

But... he is an adult... just like you... and maybe this time....

[Nyota sighed as she looked up at Jim...]

...he was ready.

[demon_prosecutor]

...We had that conversation already today. I told him just to be him... I mean... I fell for him when he was unemotional. I don't want him to be any different, he knows that.

He... seemed really happy when I said that. But thanks for saying that. I really didn't know. I dunno that I would have acted any differently but. Well maybe.

_{[He watched the waves crashing, a few boats sailing in the sunset.]}

Well. I figure Spock and I... ah... _{[he looked to her a bit concerned.]}

I dunno if you want to hear me talking long term about the guy you just lost...

[gift_of_tongue]

[Nyota quirked an eyebrow as she walked around to the other side of Jim... assessing him like a bird of prey.]

Long term eh?
Well... I guess there's hope for you after all.

[Uhura leaned with her back on the railing...]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[he smirked coyly at her, assessing her right back but it was clearly devoid of anything sexual. He wasn't interested in her anymore.]}

Hard as that is for anyone to believe, Uhura. I think I can finally commit to someone.

Thing is... I... have never been in love before now. Spock's my first. _{[he leaned on the railing, flicking off a pice of dirt blown in by the wind]}

I'd do anything for him. Kill, die, grab him out of an active volcano. _{[All of those things were things he'd done for Spock in the last three weeks by the way.]}

It's just like they say... you love someone and suddenly no one else matters. Suddenly there's only two kinds of people in the world. There's Spock and there's everyone else. You're right about me, Nyota... I didn't care about anyone I slept with before. Hell I used a good part of them for something else, it never meant anything. But... Spock means something. Spock means everything. And it scares me but it's not something I plan on letting go so long as I'm alive.

[gift_of_tongue]

That's all I needed to hear...

[Uhura looked down.... her face going blank as she went silent.
When she looked up her eyes may or may not have been a little over-bright... but she looked determined as she stepped up close to Jim, invading his personal space.]

But you know what... I thought I had that too... Spock was my everything.
[Uhura's lip quivered... but then her face hardened as she pressed that lethal finger into Jim's chest again.]
And if you ever... ever hurt him... Captain or no I will castrate you then throw you out an air-lock.
[Uhura glared for one moment. She had to make her point... she just had to... Because she was never going to get this chance again. It felt like her heart was bleeding out on the floor and she wanted to scream in anguish.
But she couldn't... she wouldn't. She was Nyota Uhura....a strong female that could bounce back from anything.

Well...she'll at least pretend she could anyway.


With one last glare, her face morphed into a smirk, her body language taking on a flirtatious stance.]
Thanks for the invite Jim.

[And with that, she walked back into the apartment.]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[This should have been scarier than it was. Honestly coming from her it was kind of cute. And the rest was just... strangely encouraging. He wanted her to demand he treat Spock well. He wanted everyone to demand that because he was totally going to do it. He just nodded at her threat.]}

I know you will. And for what it's worth... I am sorry...

_{[then she was walking away, her poker face was flawless. He felt sad for her then. He knew that poker face. She had no idea how well he knew it. It was his own.]}

Thanks for coming.

[spohkh]

[It would take time for Nyota to heal... Spock could see that plainly as she walked back into the apartment.
She was always so good at hiding her feelings, almost Vulcan-like.

When Uhura looked at him, her smile was small, but genuine... then she nodded, as if to say she was going to be okay.
The Vulcan continued to watch her as she went to get a drink... Satisfied, Spock went for the balcony door, and walked outside.

Spock had been rather... apprehensive when he saw both Jim and Nyota walk out onto the balcony.]

Jim?

[done_in_3]

_{[He was looking out over the bay, leaning on the rail. At Spock's word he turned over his shoulder... And grinned brightly.]}

Hey. C'mere... Look at this.

_{[Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. The waves, cars, boats, even a few dolphins. The sky was firey orange fading to luscious pink then radiant purple. The city lights were coming on slowly and even the bridge was lighting up. It was a calendar worthy shot to say the least.]}

[spohkh]

[The Vulcan walked forward and stood beside his T'hy'la... Perfect posture with his hands behind his back, Spock looked out at the aesthetically pleasing view.

Spock was silent for only a moment...]

I find that I am ...apprehensive to inquire about your conversation with Lieutenant Uhura...

[done_in_3]

Hm? Naw don't be. She's just trying to protect you and in her defense she has every reason to doubt me. She's wrong but I can see her perspective...

_{[He remembered what Uhura said... about communication. And Spock was being so forthcoming, wasn't everything just fine? Yeah?]}

Did she say anything to you?

[spohkh]

Indeed...
I have no reason to doubt you.

[It had been a very interesting 24 hours.... Spock needed to mediate before his emotions started to flay him.]

Nyota and I spoke very briefly...

...she is...

sad.

[Regret, guilt, sadness.... all these emotions were swirling around the Vulcan's mind, and he did not want to admit them.]

We should rejoin our guests...

[done_in_3]

You never gave into the rumors about me? Even on campus? I guess you were above all that. You're better for it, those stories aren't very flattering. Some of them aren't even true.

_{[But most are. He just won't talk about that unless directly asked.]}

She is... but she's strong, Spock. She's not going to wilt. She let you go because you needed someone else. She just wanted to make sure I was going to treat you right. And I will... and I think I have so far... have I?

No... wait... don't go yet. Talk to me.

_{[Something in Spock's eyes. It wasn't right. He leaned his back against the railing, reaching forward to brush away some of Spock's hair where the ocean wind was blowing it out of place.]}

What are you feeling?

[spohkh]

[Spock looked over at Jim....

His mother used to ask him that all the time. "What are you feeling Spock? ...help me understand."

Spock reached up and stilled Jim's hand... bringing it back down but holding on...]

Speaking about one's emotions is not unlike learning to speak a new language. You will have to be patient with me Jim.

[Spock rubbed his index and middle finger against Jim's...] But know that I am quite well.

[done_in_3]

_{[He watched, pleased as Spock only moved his hand instead of gently rejecting it. His voice was calm and kind, even melodic as he spoke again. Damn what happened. Was he in love or something?]}

I can understand that, take your time...

_{[His eyes slowly closed at that sensation. Could it be that vulcan kisses were better than human ones? Maybe...]}

That's good to know...

[spohkh]

[With a final 'kiss', and a half-smile... Spock let go of Jim's hand and led them back into the apartment where everyone was waiting for them. Well, waiting for Jim. He had such a brilliant personality that everyone was naturally attracted to. Spock was proud to be part of such a gravitational pull. The man truly was his sun.. the center of his universe.

Toasts were said and sentiments were passed along... especially from Mister Scott and Doctor McCoy, who by that point had a 'few too many'.
Spock watched the entire exchange with a certain degree of fascination (humans were such emotional creatures), but at the same time he was lost in thought.

So much had changed for them... the entire bridge crew... in such a short amount of time. They would have to grow and adjust accordingly...

...but they were all strong and up to the task. They did indeed have the finest crew in Starfleet.
The Vulcan watched Jim with warmth and pride as he bid farewell to each of his guests, the Captain was very obviously well loved. Pavel hugged him, bouncing like a puppy while Hikaru shook his hands and clapped him on the back.
Spock felt a small bite of jealousy as Carol gave Jim a big hug and kiss on the cheek, but he tempered it quickly. Mister Scott seemed to speak in a language that the Vulcan could not comprehend, but Jim seemed to understand... interesting... he'll have to ask for a translation later. Doctor McCoy had this... odd look on his face. It must have been one of affection... perhaps it was this 'brotherly love' that Jim spoke of from time to time.
Nyota left as she came, with her head held high... and a warning glare for both of them.

Indeed... Captain Kirk was well loved. Especially by Spock.
Love...That was another matter that needed to be addressed. Jim had mentioned twice already that he was ready to 'marry' him. Vulcan marriage, or bonding, was a serious matter, and one that should not be considered lightly or fallen into too hastily.

On the other hand... if they were bonded... Jim would always know what Spock was thinking and feeling.


For now, the apartment was blissfully quiet, and Spock had moved to the sink... his hands covered in soap as he washed up the dishes.]

[done_in_3]

<sub>[It was a great night for Jim. He had a family, a close-knit one and he cherished each member. The night flew by, was it already time to go? No? Well past time to go? Wow...

He bade everyone goodbye, promised to see everyone soon, and closed their door. He sighed heavily and then stepped over to gather the beer bottles up. All of them in the trash... then he joined Spock at the sink, rolling his sleeves up. He took the clean dishes and dried them, then slowly... managed to get them put away. Ah...where did this one go? Or this one? Don't worry he'll figure it out, just give him a minute.]</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock found that watching Jim was a fascinating process... Instead of asking for help... he just searched on his own.
At one point Spock silently opened the cupboard in front of him, indicating that the platter goes there without saying so...
Take the hint sweet heart.

Doing dishes has never been so amusing.

Eventually though, Spock was finished, and he drained the sink.]

Is there anything you require at this time Jim?

[done_in_3]

_{[He offered a single smile in thanks and set the dishes away without a word. It was new for him to be able to have such a comfortable yet communicative silence. He appreciated it. The whole chore done with a kind of pleasure. It hadn't even been work, really...]}

Hm? Oh there's always plenty of things I want, but...what are you offering? _{[He was maybe playing coy. Maybe also setting the tone for taking you back to bed if you were of a mindset for that.]}
