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..."

[Spock shudders then.... Jim's words rolling throw him like a thunderous wave.
Biting back a sob of relief, the Vulcan leans forward... burying his head in the nape of Jim's neck, just inhaling Jim's scent. It's there, under the odd and sickly hospital smells, the scent of Jim... alive.

Spock's hand leaves Jim's... and he places it gently over Jim's heart, making sure not to disturb any of Leonard's work.
And he just stays like that for a moment...giving into his weakness.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim closed his eyes, opening his arms to Spock]}

C'mere.

_{[With one hand he moved the bed tray to the adjacent table and then tugged the vulcan closer, onto the bed if he'd allow it. He held Spock close, relieved his mother wasn't here for this. He knew Spock was on edge while she was around. To some degree he was performing for her and he needed time alone with him to handle what happened today.]}

I'm sorry...

_{[He feels so repentant for this accident. He sees Spock's pain and it is mirrored in himself, he hates seeing Spock torn up about anything. He wants to fix it, he wants to hold him and make it all better, what would fix it? Just say the word, he'll do anything.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock's fingers clutch Jim's hospital gown....
As Jim speaks through the bond, Spock reaches for it like a starving man...]

Do not apologise... It was MY fault.

[Spock's anguish over the entire situation became palpable as he replayed everything in his mind. His stupidity for agreeing to fight Jim... and failing to keep him safe. Spock couldn't stand it.]

[done_in_3]

_{[He adamantly rejected every notion. None of this was his fault, he was trying to keep him out of trouble. He couldn't have predicted Lightning would react so violently. It's not his fault that Jim is so high maintenance.... HE'S sorry he has this shit to deal with. For the first time....he regrets all the bad habits he's adopted to cope. They never hurt anyone before, he never let anyone in to BE hurt. But Spock's in here now...they're hurting him, making him doubt himself. Jim feels a bit ashamed of himself. Fucking stupid for being in this hospital at all.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock leans his head up so he can look at Jim... It only takes a moment and then he's kissing him... gently though, considering where they are and why they are here in the first place.

With great care, Spock caresses Jim's face...pouring his love through the kiss.]

do not blame yourself Ashaya.... We will help each other..... not stupid.... beautiful Jim...

[Spock's mind is filled with his love and adoration for Jim... and absolute happiness that he is alive.]

[done_in_3]

_{[He held Spock close, not wanting the kiss to end. He didn't want to be in this position anymore. He hated recovering instead of charging forward and it was hell on Spock. He kissed gently and encouraged the vulcan to lay with him when it was over.]}

We will. Everything will be fine.

_{[He meant that too. Everything was going to be exactly how he wants, his life with Spock, his body. Even his grief. That crap's days were numbered. He had love for the first time in his life. He blossomed open for Spock, showing his returned affections, the intensity of all his pining, yearning, his year of silent devotion to a man he'd never have the honor of calling his own.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock tries to be gentle with Jim... he really does. Logically he should leave Jim alone to heal, but he can't seem to bring himself to be away from Jim any longer...
So, without breaking the kiss, Spock lays down beside Jim... pulling his mate into an embrace.

All the while he whispers Vulcan endearments through the bond.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim gets comfortable in that hold, wrapping an arm around Spock again. He framed his face as he kissed him softly, as tender as he could. He pet his hair back.]}

It's gonna be fine, Spock. Everything's going to be fine.

[spohkh]

[Spock nodded... he believe him, of course he did...
Leaning his forehead on Jim's, the Vulcan relaxed.

A large part of him felt ashamed at the emotional outburst... but he was starting to believe that around Jim, it didn't matter so much.]

Yes...
Together now...

[Spock was exhausted...and he didn't really realize it until now. Still holding onto Jim, the Vulcan relaxed into the bed... his eyes starting to drift shut as his mind wrapped itself comfortably around Jim's.]

[done_in_3]

_{[He pet Spock's hair back and watched as Spock fell asleep. This was a new experience, Spock sleeping first. Jim laid awake for a long time watching him and thinking about both himself and how he fit with Spock. Spock's emotions and how he responded to Jim's lifestyle. His old coping mechanisms just didn't fit anymore and while they were something he was loathe to give up he knew he ultimately had to. They might not always end up with someone in the hospital but it was hurting Spock to witness them. Spock was going to have to see the source of Jim's darkness sooner or later. He began to wonder just how and when that would happen... he began to wonder a lot of things, holding Spock while he slept.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock's mind drifted as he slept on... content to float in Jim's consciousness.

In his sleep he was also able to analyse everything that had happened...and how poorly he had handled it.
Not only had he had several emotional outbursts... but he allowed himself to engage in two separate melds with Winona Kirk.

Highly unacceptable.

Spock would have continued sleeping...but there were voices steadily growing in volume. A gruff voice that was most familiar...]

[done_in_3]

"...it's not safe to have him draped over you Jim--"



"Leave him, he's fine. I like him there."

"This hospital doesn't operate on your whims, Jim. You need your chest clear so you can heal."

"It is clear, he's on my side Bones. If you wake him up I'm gonna be mad."



"Like I give a shit about your little tantrums, you want to know how fast I can drug you into submission?"



"Is that a challenge, doctor? I think I want to take you up on that. Hey I think I saw a cute nurse out there, I'm gonna go ask of she can be the judge for us."

"Jim-- dammit stay in that bed!"

"Nah, I think I really need to go ask her myself. You don't have my charms."

"Would you stop?"

"Are you gonna let him sleep?"



"...fine. You win, you happy?"

"Quite."

[spohkh]

Doctor, you would find that if you had asked me kindly... I would have been compelled to move.

[Spock sits up, straightening his rumpled shirt.... but forgetting about the bed head.]

You have my apologies Doctor, for not following the hospital protocol.... I will remove myself.
[Spock switches over to the chair... looking calm as he can with hair sticking all over the place.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Both men look at him rather suddenly, Jim stifled a laugh but grins brightly at Spock. Bones just looks annoyed with Jim.]}

I was going to, Spock. Jim stopped me. Sorry to wake you.

_{[Professionally, he said nothing about the hair but he assumed they had a nice night side by side. It was surreal to him to see the hobgoblin in that position. He'd never seen him be intimate with Jim in any way and it was still kind of a fantasy until the moment he came in the room this morning.]}

I came here to give you your meds anyway, Jim.

[spohkh]

[Spock inclines his head... but then looks up at the Doctor.]

Doctor McCoy, I wish to express my gratitude for answering my call. [It really meant a lot. He knew that Leonard would do anything for Jim anyways, but still... it was the principle of the thing.]

[done_in_3]

Hm? It's no problem... thanks for calling me first.

_{[He really did appreciate not having to take notes from another presumably inferior doctor after they'd meddled with his patient.]}

You doing ok?

_{[Nevermind, once he's done with Jim he runs a tricorder over Spock, 'hmmm'ing at his readings.]}

I don't like your stress levels. I might start you on a tranquilizer for the time being.

[spohkh]

[Spock looks up sharply at Doctor McCoy, incredulity showing on his face.
Jim was the patient here... not Spock.]

I assure you Doctor, I am fine.

[That's right... Spock's as good of a patient as Jim is.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Lovely. Bones is so thrilled for you two to be here... Lovely cooperative patients in a colorful and unique area to serve. Rural. Iowa.]}

Your scans say otherwise. Given the last three weeks I'm not surprised. Now that vulcan physiology of yours is a bit tricky to prescribe for but I think good old valium ought to do the trick.

_{[He loaded a hypospray and looked Spock in the eyes.]}

Are you going to fight me on this?

[spohkh]

[Spock stared at Leonard... but then canted his head to the side, exposing his neck for the Doctor.
Submission was not something a Vulcan did lightly.

However, it was illogical to argue with a Doctor.]

I have never taken this drug before... what exactly does it do for a Vulcan?
Specifically, are there any side-effects?

[done_in_3]

_{[He's relieved and rather gentle as he injects Spock, well as gentle as you can be with a needle piercing someone's skin. He's quick about it and his gruffness is momentarily gone. See Jim? Being a compliant patient wasn't so hard and just look at the benefits of not making him fight you.]}

There are side effects but given the copper in your blood is slightly more electronegative you'll absorb this better than a human so I'm giving you a smaller dose. Most people feel light headed, maybe a bit drowsy but that's all normal. Lay down if you feel you should. It should wear off in a few hours.

[spohkh]

[Spock still didn't think that the injection was necessary... but he already started to feel is body loosening, and his mind relaxing.]

Thank you Doctor. I will do as you prescribe.

[Spock looks over at Jim... and already starts to make plans of getting back in Jim's bed after McCoy leaves.]

[done_in_3]

<sub>[The doctor ran a few more quick scans of Jim, noting his progress. He and Jim had a quick exchange about what happened and what he remembered. Jim was given an extra dose of B12 and McCoy left the room. Jim looked to Spock.]

Prince Valium, huh?</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock quirks an eyebrow....]

If you are referring to a cultural reference, please note that I am not aware of it.

[Spock stands, and sits on the edge of the bed.]

Jim.... I feel the need to express once again how good it is to see you awake.

[Spock gives Jim a very small smile... barely a twitch of the lips. But the sentiment is still there.]

[done_in_3]

It's a term for the drug. People used to use it all the time to sleep or relax.

_{[He reaches for Spock's hand.]}

I...

_{[He doesn't know what to say but he knows Spock is recovering from a deep wound and it's his fault for putting it there. He can't undo it but he wants desperately for Spock to be at peace.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock shakes his head as he strokes Jim's fingers...]

Ashaya, I know your thoughts. Do not blame yourself for my emotions. Yes, I was... deeply effected when your life ended once more, but you cannot fault yourself.
It may take time, but I will convince myself that you are indeed alive and well.

[Spock lifts his other hand to gently touch Jim's face... wondering how fortunate he was to be able to do this.]

You are all I need or desire Jim. I will not force you to make promises you cannot keep, or hold you back from situations that not as safe as I would like...
Rest Jim. Do not worry about me any further.
