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..."

<sub>[Fight Spock? Like as a stress relief? Considering how strong Spock was that might honestly be a great idea... Jim had a thing for brawling. But he also had a thing for having his ass handed to him once in a while too...

Winona sipped her tea, looking ashamed somehow. Her face was darkening with a bruise. Jim pet her hair and looked to Spock. Suddenly he was very grateful for this bond, its silence was infinitely useful.]</sub>

No, stay. I think she needs things to just be normal. We'll just go on like regular.

[spohkh]

[Spock mentally agreed and turned towards the kitchen.]

Perhaps lunch is in order...
[The threatening kitchen.... Then again, there was always the replicator.
Surely he could manage to make a sandwich. The Vulcan started to root through the fridge.]

Ashaya... do you have a dermal regenerator? A low setting should quickly heal that contusion.

I am interested in Jim fighting Spock

[done_in_3]

That sounds great. You want me to help? What do you want, mom?

I don't care... whatever you decide.

Ah... maybe? You handle food then, I'll go look.

_{[He stepped out and headed upstairs to explore.]}

Me too!

[spohkh]

[Spock managed to pull out all the left-over ingredients from the sandwich Winona had made the other day.... and put together something relatively decent.
Placing the plate of sandwiches on the table, the Vulcan once again took his seat and sipped his tea.
Since Spock didn't know what to say, he decided that silence was better.

If Winona wanted to say something, she would.

What bothered the Vulcan was form of Jim's frustration and anger. Humans became angry... he understood that. Violent emotions emerge from stressful situations... especially the ones where you are left helpless. What Spock didn't like was that Jim was in a destructive mood... He wanted to hit something... be physically violent.
He actually wanted to go out and get into a fight with someone or something.

That had one logical conclusion: Jim was going to get hurt.
This is the sort of self-destructive path that Spock wanted to make sure that Jim did not fall into anymore. He had seen it too many times on missions...
Now though, Spock was in a position where he could do something. He was literally in Jim's head, and he would ensure that Jim was going nowhere without him today or any day when he was in this mood. If Jim was itching to fight...
...then he would have to choice but to fight him]

I dunno how Jim would take to that though.

<sub>[Winona was beyond caring about taste or quality. It's hard to fuck up a sandwich and Spock does a well enough. She eats in relative silence, Jim returns with a dermal regenerator and sees to healing the bruise, the family is slowly coming to peace once more.

However Jim's feelings... they aren't at the forefront but they are still very deliberate. Jim has the ability to put his need to lash out on hold for a bit until his mother is taken care of. As it stands, Winona decides she wants to lay down for a while. Jim sits at her side in her room for a short time before coming downstairs and exiting the house. He had to untie Lightning from the pen, then find a place he could drink around here. Sad thing about Iowa was it was slow as hell and empty as the sky. People didn't drink unless they had problems and most people who had problems kept them at home. There was no brawling unless you knew where to go.

And unless the place had changed since he got into Starfleet, then he knew just the spot.]</sub>

Could be a moment where Jim learns more about himself?

[spohkh]

[Spock stayed at the kitchen table when Winona and Jim retired upstairs...
...but then left the house to follow his Ashaya towards the barn.
Spock could feel Jim's turmoil.... it was as palpable as a storm cloud raging over his head. How should he approach it?

Well... first things first... Spock calls out to Jim.]

Jim?

What would he learn exactly? I think it will be educational for them both.

<sub>[[ooc: Also you should know that in the video game, Spock was poisoned with a toxin that made him a berserker, and he went after the first thing he saw, inevitably Jim. The two fought hand to hand until Bones shot him with a cure. So... Jim has fought hm before, for his life even. No I don't think Spock would have crystal clear memories of it but he understands what happened bc they witnessed their crew and plenty of vulcans fall prey to this toxin before Spock got it.]]



[Jim was busy bringing Lightning inside the barn. The horse seemed nervous, sensing Jim's anger. The man pet him, cooing softly.]</sub>

It's okay... easy. Easy I'm not going to hurt you.

_{[he looked over his shoulder.]}

Hm?

We could always try it out? If it doesn't work we can always backtrack.

[spohkh]

[Spock tilted his head as if listening to something... He was listening to Jim's mind.]

You are... not well.
Is there anything I can do for you Ashaya?

[Spock was worried...]

Of course~ It's just rp anyway, we can do w/e

[done_in_3]

Nah, I feel fine.

_{[He gave Spock a winning smile.]}

I'm gonna go into town for a bit, I need to get some things for Lightning here.

_{[Not a lie. But not the whole truth.]}

Stay here and watch mom, alright?

<3

[spohkh]

Negative... Your mother is quite fine, and would most likely benefit from having 'alone time'.

I will be going with you.
[Spock's gaze was steady as he regarded Jim... ]

Re: <3

[done_in_3]

_{[He shook his head, authority rising in him, he was willing to don the captain's voice if he had to.]}

I'd feel better if you were here to make sure she doesn't try to hurt herself. I won't be long.

_{[He gets Lightning in the barn, the subject was closed.]}

[spohkh]

Captain.

[Spock's voice echoes hollowly through the air... The use of rank cutting an edge.]

Why are you going to town Ashaya?
[Spock's mind opened to Jim, his concern palpable but his resolve firm.
Jim was not leaving without Spock.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim paused at that question. He reflexively grew defensive, assuring Spock it wasn't his business. But was this what bonded life was like? Did you really not have secrets about anything? Granted running inane little errands was inclined to hide. He wondered what the future was going to be like. What would happen when he wanted secrets? Spock could see everything...]}

You already know. And you don't want to watch.

[spohkh]

[Spock shook his head...]

I will not allow you to harm yourself or others as you attempt to vent your frustration.

[The Vulcan took a step closer to Jim... an almost daring move.]

[done_in_3]

_{[He saw that move, he raised it, stepping forward.]}

And how are you going to stop me?

[spohkh]

[Spock's eyebrow twitches as he takes another step closer to Jim...]

You believe that I will not?

[Spock's prepared to stop Jim...]

[done_in_3]

I didn't say that. I asked what your plan was.

_{[He's interested, give him your best shot. What's your plot? Distraction? Overpowering him? Logic?]}

[spohkh]

That entirely depends on you Ashaya.

[Spock takes a moment to regard Jim.. asses his feelings.]

We can go back into the house... or I can go with you into town. Either way, I will not stand idly by will you allow yourself to be injured.

[done_in_3]

_{[Inwardly he chuckled, amused by Spock.]}

Hm. I really don't think you want to be there, Spock.

It's not your kind of thing.

[spohkh]

Perhaps not... however, you are my 'thing', and as your mate I will ensure your safety, even if it means protecting you from yourself.

[Spock takes that last step and reaches a hand toward Jim...]

[done_in_3]

_{[He stepped back, looking at the hand as though it were a claw. He knew Spock was a threat right now, an obstacle that would absolutely rob him of his much needed self medication if he had even a glimmer of a chance. Unfortunately he could trust Spock that much. He didn't want to get trapped, and the situation was delicate. This was strangely like their chess matches...]}

Protect me from myself? What are you gonna do an intervention on me or something? I'll be fine. I always am.

_{[He smirked charmingly as he headed out the other end of the barn.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock reealized that Jim needed to put the horse away before he could do anything physically with Jim.
However, Jim's answer made Spock even more concerned..... Jim was 'fine'? When that word was used, it often meant the opposite. Jim was never just fine.... he was a much more complicated creature for that. And Spock always rather disliked that word.

Spock followed Jim down the barn.... keeping a silent watch or now. Plus he didn't want to spook the horse.]

[done_in_3]

[He put Lightning into his stall and got some oats. The horse snorted nervously, clearly sensing Jim's emotions. He shifted uneasily in the stall.

Jim put his saddle away. Finished with the beast he prepared to head out.]

So what's your plan? You gonna bar the door?

[spohkh]

[Spock looked back at the door, then at Jim...]

That, I believe, will be unnecessary. I have reason to believe that you will make the right choice Jim...
[Spock finally took a step closer to Jim... his eyes resolved.]

Why do you wish to fight Jim?

[done_in_3]

Mm-mmn. I've surprised people before. Don't get your hopes up.

[And yet he felt a pang of betrayal at the thought of letting Spock down. Same as when he decided to take Khan in alive.]

It makes me feel alive. I like it

[A flippant response]
