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..."

_{[She held her egg up, waiting for him to take one from the crate. Then deliberately cracked it twice against the edge of a mixing bowl, pulled the shell apart, and dropped the innards inside.]}

You try.

[spohkh]

[Spock gently takes an egg from the crate... and looks at Winona.

Spock attempts to calculate pressure and angle, but when he knocks it on the side of the bowl, the egg explodes.
Guess he hit it too hard.

The Vulcan blinks at the mess he made.]

My...apologies.

[Yes, he had egg on his face.]

[done_in_3]

_{[She blinks as he blows the egg apart. She had never seen anything like that before. A small exclamation came from her in surprise. She hands him a kitchen towel and wipes the mess up.]}

Ah...let's try again.

_{[She hands him another egg.]}

gently. It doesn't take much.

[spohkh]

[Spock wipes the egg off his face and as much as he can from his shirt....

...Through the bond, he sends a picture to Jim of the mess he just made.

The Vulcan takes another egg.... and very gently, taps it on the edge of the bowl.
It cracks, and he manages to not get any shell in the bowl as the egg dumps its yolk.

Spock looks quite pleased.]

[done_in_3]

What are you doing down there? Wait, are you cooking??

_{[Winona seems pleased and handed him another.]}

Can you break seven more? Here, practice.

_{[She gets butter into the skillet and starts melting it, then chopping the pepper.]}

You only eat the outside of it. This withered part here you don't eat, you just throw that out.

_{[She chops the onion and pepper in seconds and tosses them into the pan, then piles what looks like a pound of spinach on top.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock manages to successfully crack another egg.]

So it would seem Ashaya.... Though I am not very efficient at it.

[The Vulcan continues to crack the eggs... enjoying his time in the kitchen with Winona. He only ever watched his mother.... ]

[done_in_3]

Well, go for it. I look forward to what you make... do you want me to coach you through it?

_{[She sliced the mushrooms and then measured some cream out, pouring that into the egg mixture. When Spock finished cracking them she handed him a whisk.]}

Stir the eggs together with this.

[spohkh]

[Spock takes the whisk, and beats the eggs. He's sure that he could get used to this.
Maybe even become a decent cook?]

I can only hope that it will be edible.

[Spock's amusement flows through the bond...

When he has finished with eggs, he looks at Winona as if to ask 'what now?']

[done_in_3]

I'm sure it'll be fine.

<sub>[His mom is there to ensure quality control.

Winona pointed to the skillet.]</sub>

Pour the eggs in here. All of them.

[spohkh]

[Spock did as instructed, and poured the eggs into the pan... watching as the heat started to rise from the slowly cooking eggs.

His mind thoroughly enjoyed interacting with Jim's... and the bond was practically purring like a cat as it curled around Jim's consciousness.

Now what Missus Kirk?]

[done_in_3]

<sub>[Jim feels much better today, the bond didn't hurt and in fact it felt pretty good getting spoiled by Spock. He's a much more pleasant person today.

Meanwhile Winona was walking Spock through the rest. Just leave it, occassionally fold the eggs over... leave it. Fold again. Then take it off the heat and add cheese. She dishes up some for Spock and Jim.]</sub>

Here. That ought to do the trick. You did alright this time. Not bad for a first attempt.

[spohkh]

[Spock looks...pleased. But not so much that you'd notice it unless you were looking.
The Vulcan gives his thanks and takes the offered food. Balancing his load, he takes the food upstairs and into Jim's room.]

I believe the phrase is.... 'food is served.'

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim has managed to sort of sit up, he's propped against his headboard, pillows at his back.]}

Did you learn a lot?

You know I can teach you too if you want... _{[He eyed the food hungrily.]} Bring that over here... you ever had one of these?

[spohkh]

[Spock sits on the bed next to Jim, setting the tray on Jim's knees.]

I have not.

[The Vulcan tucks into his own food.... mischievously looking at Jim.]
Perhaps you would like for me to feed you?

[done_in_3]

Hm? <sub>[He already has a bite of it in his mouth. He looks a bit wide eyed at Spock but... well he kind of... pauses.

He can't have a lover feed him. Not after Kodos... but... well... he can try. If Spock wants that. Just don't get offended if he gags. Okay?]</sub>

If you want...

[spohkh]

[Spock regarded Jim for a moment...

Though he had meant it as kind of a joke, or even a romantic gesture....There was obviously something he had missed, but he wasn't going to press the issue. But there was one thing that was clear... Jim did not want to be fed.

Spock hummed as he ate another bite of food.]

I retract my offer. Perhaps that form of action is not for us.
Though I am certain there is something else that we can spend our time doing after we finish our food.

[Double Entendre? yup.]

[done_in_3]

_{[He's sorry. He knows he has hangups about stupid things that shouldn't bother him. He wishes he could let you explore ever romantic gesture... maybe when you two are bonded and you've seen that particular memory... you'll understand. But just thinking about it, makes Jim's mind darken a little. Just a hint of his darkness returns, he nods to Spock as he eats. Sure, he'll fuck you. Whatever you want... Only he knows this is getting derailed, he knows he's getting sucked into the darkness. He doesn't know how to get back out. He doesn't want this to evolve into the days-long darkness that it usually does. It's only started now, he can get out if he tried. God how does he distract himself? No, stop talking about sex Spock.]}

Yeah? That's... great. Sounds good.

[spohkh]

[Spock puts down his fork... and places his plate on the bedside table.
Somehow, he's lost Jim. How? He doesn't quite know, but he does know that's it's related to whatever has caused that darkness in Jim.
Now is definitely not the time to talk about sex.

The Vulcan moves down the bed... propping his back on the wall as he puts Jim's feet in his lap.
Lifting his hands, he starts to methodically massage Jim's feet....humming quietly.

In the bond he sends an image of them on the Enterprise... their home. It was there that everyone respected and loved Jim for who he was...

...and he hoped that someday they could defeat that darkness together.]

[done_in_3]

<sub>[Well done, Spock. Jim is surprised that he responded so quickly, and how. But in a few minutes he is calm again, focusing on other things. He can finish his food, he can think about Spock, he can be free from the paralyzing despair and self-blame.

It isn't immediately evident but Spock has given Jim one of the most significant gifts of his life: a way to free himself from his darkness. Even if just for a little while. His life since Tarsus was chaos. The darkness came at random and left only when he drank or fucked it away. Sometimes not even then. He never had a way to make it stop, he was never in control of it.

This is the beginning of his healing, Spock.]</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock continues to just be there... giving no indication of stopping or leaving. He is comfortable with Jim.
He is most at himself with Jim, and he doesn't see that changing anytime in the future.

The Vulcan continues to hum and massage Jim's feet as he finishes his meal.... the bond continues to portray significant moments of their career.... and general hopes for the future.

And no matter what happened... he would stay with Jim. Children? Grandchildren? Retiring? Bring it on. Life was an adventure when you had the person you loved next to you.]

[done_in_3]

<sub>[He can't put to words how grateful he is to have Spock with him. No one has ever... helped him with this. No one has ever been someone he wants to take on the world with but Spock. He agrees with every sentiment. His life can't be an adventure without Spock at his side.

When he finishes he hands Spock his plate and offers to return the sweet favor. Jim really is a kind hearted soul despite what people say about him.]</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock gives Jim a small smile... and shifts around so that Jim can have his foot.
The Vulcan eats... Their silence is comfortable and warm as they both seem to enjoy the company in each other's minds.]

[done_in_3]

[He enjoyed having comfortable silence and love. He rubbed all the tight spots out of Spock's feet, finding soothing relief in the simple act of tending to his mate. When he was done he opened his mind to project.

he's thinking maybe he's ready to talk a little about his history with Kodos. And where his hangups come from. ]

[spohkh]

[Spock finishes his food.... but then looks sharply at Jim. He opts to talk out loud.]

Are you certain Jim? I do not wish to 'rush' you by any means.

[done_in_3]

You can't rush me when you didn't ask.

But if you're going to have all my memories soon it seems only fair to give you some kind of heads up as to what's in there...

... and I think I'm ready to start talking about it. To you. It might... help me.

_{[If that's not too much for you to handle. He understands if it is, this isn't exactly easy or pleasant conversation and he doesn't know how he'll respond by trying... but he wants to try.]}
