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..."

Now?

[Spock found this rather daunting.... wedding planning? Now?]

Missus Kirk, I was wondering if you would be willing to converse with my father?

[done_in_3]

I'm not against it.

_{[She sighed softly]} I assume you have no idea what all goes into planning a human wedding.

George and I planned ours ourselves and I'm proud of how well we put it off. You ought to look at the photos or videos. We did good, most people don't. There's just so many balls in the air.

And you've already got a handicap laying in bed upstairs. You're going to need my help.

Is your father planning on helping?

[spohkh]

Him and my grandmother will be completely in charge of the formal bonding ceremony... where all Jim and I have to do is show up.

[Spock gave Winona a hint of a smirk at that.] They are quite eager.
However, my knowledge of terran weddings is extremely limited. Any assistance you can offer me will be appreciated.

[done_in_3]

Oh really?

Well what do you want to know? Are you going to tell them what you'd like and they'll just plan it for you?

...Why are they planning it for you exactly? _{[She's not really on board with that spoilage.]}

[spohkh]

It is customary for the clan matriarch to oversee the details of the ceremony. It is... tradition. Due to our clan's status, many will want to attend depending on the venue.

[Read between the lines here Winona, Spock is worth a lot... well... was worth a lot.]

[done_in_3]

And just what status do you still have considering? Does status still mean something after your planet was lost?

Jim said you were a big part in saving the elders of your planet... the high counsel or something. I assume that makes you a hero then...

So they're going to plan it for you and you just pick what you want? Or are they calling the shots? Either way it's not something I'd necessarily recommend. And if they are planning the whole thing then what exactly do you need from me?

[spohkh]

My grandmother, T'Pau, still holds the seat for the high council, and the representative for the Federation. Thus, my family is not considering 'common'.

Hero...
There are those who would rather not think of me at all. However, there are many who consider Jim as such.

[Spock hesitates for a moment....] I have... no real connection with my home planet, as the Enterprise has been more my home than the place that I was born.
[Spock shifts in his sea, clearly uncomfortable to be telling someone this.]

Given that information, if it is at all possible... I would rather not have our bonding ceremony on New Vulcan... and have as much human influence in the festivities as possible. In order to do this, I would need help... convincing my grandmother.

[done_in_3]

T'Pau? She's in charge of the planet?... How... high of status did your family have when Vulcan was still around?

_{[Just what did Jim marry into exactly?]}

...You want me to help you convince them to hold the ceremony on Earth? Well I guess I can help with that...

_{[Going up against an ambassador and a world leader? Seriously kid? You expect a lot of her...]}

[spohkh]

Vulcans try not to give favour over one family, or give in to any particular class system... however, a certain amount of honour is recognized for various clans.
I believe if you were to compare my family's clan to an Earth concept... I believe royalty would suffice.

[Spock blinks innocently at Winona.]

[done_in_3]

...

So... Jim married a prince? Well I'll be damned. I wonder if he knows what he's gotten himself into.

So...

I have a niggling feeling that the royalty aspect of your heritage might mean you won't have a choice about where your wedding is held. Especially if it's not being prepared by you and Jim. But as a sign of good will... I'll do my best to help you.

[spohkh]

I appreciate that Missus Kirk. My...

...my own mother surely would have done the same. [He gives her a small, small smile... then stands.]

I must check on Jim. I will forward you my father's contact information.

[done_in_3]

Spock I...

_{[Somehow that hit her heart in its center. Spock lost his mother. Just for an instant he seemed like a little lost duckling. He was polite and charming as he could be but he was incomplete. He didn't know to be a whole person yet... she felt a draw to him. But she restrained herself.]}

I appreciate it. I'll speak to him as soon as I can.

[spohkh]

[Spock inclines his head, then heads upstairs to check on his sleeping mate.
The Vulcan gingerly reaches over and touches Jim's hand.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim is not sleeping very heavily. Sleeping this much... he was getting more restless as he napped. He tossed and turned frequently. His hand being taken was enough to rouse him.]}

hmm... Is something interesting happening?

[spohkh]

Wedding planning actually.

[Amusement coursed through the bond as Spock shared that little tidbit with Jim.]

Your mother is proving quite receptive to the idea.

[Spock ran his fingers along Jim's... enjoying the feel.]

[done_in_3]

Huh? Already? Right right... I'll get up. I gotta help you two.

_{[Only... which was was up? He can't really read colors for the smells at the moment. Wait, what? Oh his poor brain... but he opened his eyes and sat up in bed anyway]}

So let's start.

[spohkh]

[Gently, the Vulcan pushes Jim back down onto the bed... and joins him... spooning him from behind and pets his hair.]

For now, everything is being taken care of... I gave your mother my father's contact information. Until we hear back from them, there is nothing we can do. Relax Ashaya.

[done_in_3]

_{[He submits, enjoying the embrace. He loves spooning and he's only now realized the joys of having someone his size who can spoon him too. Nice pick, Spock was. Perfect.]}

Relax is all I've done. I just... lay here all day. What day is it anyhow?... Any word about the crew? About the ship?

..._{[His brain shorted out then, reverting back to thinking about nothing in particular. Jim was trying to focus on too many things at once and his mind simply dropped the subjects. He doesn't remember he was even talking about them.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock was about to answer some of Jim's questions... but then realized what happened. The Vulcan huffed out a breath of worry, then kissed the back of Jim's neck.... searching the bond to make certain it and his mate were okay.

He was, for the most part.... and Jim seemed to be taking the changes well considering.]

Jim... How are you Ashaya?

[done_in_3]

_{[He settled into Spock's hold, enjoying his attention.]}

I feel ok I guess... I'm not... myself. I can't even really figure out what I'm missing. I used to think of so many things at once... now it's like... I can't hold onto anything, maybe one train of thought and that's it...sometimes I can't even form words...

...don't think of me as dumb...ok? I know I am but...

[spohkh]

[Spock made a sound into Jim's neck that could have been construed as a chuckle.]

I could never think of you as 'dumb' K'diwa. And this is just a side-effect... you will not be like this forever.

[Another kiss to the neck.]

[done_in_3]

You know... I can't hide anything from you. And I... guess that's alright. I'm still getting used to you knowing when I have to eat or pee. But... I'm trying to think... of what that costs us...

we can't play chess anymore. You'd know all my moves. But you can block me, I can't see your mind completely... or am I just... not strong enough to yet?

_{[He sighed into Spock's kiss. It was the best medicine.]}

[spohkh]

All things in good time Ashaya. With training, my mother was able to sufficiently block my father from her mind when she wished to....

...I have ever confidence that you can learn how to shield as well.

[Spock massaged Jim's scalp.]

I would allow you to see into my mind constantly, however, right now I believe that it would be too much for you. I am sorry.

[done_in_3]

Mnnnnn....

<sub>[He closed his eyes and relaxed in Spock's spoiling hands. He was truly in the lap of luxury. Uhura, eat your heart out.]

[But he was bored. Horribly bored with no real way to pay attention long enough to do anything on his own. He couldn't even read, his mind just dropped words like a stone. It shorted out or he just wasn't able to digest certain words. A big kick to the ego that is. He wonders if Spock might indulge him with something, anything. Talk to him... tell him a story... tell him about weddings on vulcan. Anything.]</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock hums from his position behind Jim....]

Do you wish for me to read to you? Do you wish to hear from anything in particular?

[He heard those thoughts... and he felt bad for Jim. He couldn't imagine having to spend that much time in bed feeling useless.]
