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 nodded....]

She understood... Nyota is a very intelligent woman, and I had explained the situation logically to her...

...though she had reacted rather emotionally, which I believe is normal for human women. I wish to remain friends with her, and I am uncertain if that remains a possibility.

[Uhura had been the first person on earth to accept him... to love him. He had taken that love like a thirsty man takes to water.]

[demon_prosecutor]

Well... you can't control what she does about it, Spock but if she really cares about you she'll do her best to stay your friend. But...

You should know that she might not be able to. She's tough so I think she can but... losing you might be too much for her. You just have to be prepared for that. It's not your fault but it happens.

_{[He had wanted them apart so badly and now he almost regretted that decision. Spock was hurting over it... Uhura was too. He mentally chided himself for the damage he willed on their relationship. Just a bit. He still won and that was awesome. Jim reached over to hold Spock's hand, pressing their fingers together.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock made a non-committal sound...]

Indeed. Your logic is sound.
[Spock makes eye contact with Jim and inclines his head.] I... appreciate your advice.

[The Vulcan regards Jim's movements in the kitchen... admiring how well he handles himself in this environment.
Their guests should be arriving soon...]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[He nodded, smiling at Spock]}

I'm glad it helped.

Don't worry about her, alright? You can only worry about you.

_{[He offered up a tiny taste of the spicy marinade to the vulcan]}

Here, see if that's hot enough.

[spohkh]

[Spock quirked an eyebrow as he looked between Jim and the spoon...
...he only hesitated for a moment before he leaned forward and tasted the home-made marinade.

Spock considered the burst of flavour in his mouth...]

This is quite satisfactory Jim... I must commend your skill of cooking

It's Bones of course.

[demon_prosecutor]

Yeah?

_{[He tasted it himself, nodding.]}

Always good to have a second taste. _{[He looked to Spock, waiting for the typical surprise he gets to being able to cook. Most people were floored by it.]}

Ah... growing up on the farm we had more food than replicator credits. Had to work with what was available...

Anyway. Time to grill them. It shouldn't take long.

_{[Meanwhile. Hey who was it at the door? Someone was knocking.....]}

Of Course. XD

[spohkh]

[Spock was about to ask Jim another question... specifically one pertaining to his experiences on Tarsus four....

...but his attention was taken by the door. Well, since it was his place, the Vulcan went to answer it.]

Greetings Doctor McCoy, please, come in.
[The Vulcan opened the door wide, and gestured him inside.]

Re: Of Course. XD

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[He tilted his head, raising an eyebrow]}

Good to see you too, Spock.

_{[He stepped inside, holding up a bottle of bourbon]}

Kentucky's finest. For the patient over there, of course. And.... _{[He gestured the bottle in the direction of Jim, then took a double take at him grilling.]}



Hey Bones! Is that for me?

Yeah... since when do you cook?

Since ever. C'mere, sit down.

_{[Bones strode over, assuming a chair at the kitchen island/bar across from where Jim was cooking.]}

Ah... can I ask why you picked this location? I know Starfleet didn't suddenly take a shine to you and move you in here.

No... but Spock may have suddenly taken a shine to me.

_{[McCoy was trying hard not to roll his eyes. He didn't even bother to give either man a once over in a 'are you MAD?' expression. No he looked deadpan at Jim, clearly only slightly amused with his banter. Inwardly he was just relieved Jim seemed back to normal.]}

Ha ha, Jim. Very funny. I suppose Uhura will be plenty mad about that.

_{[In case you were wondering...yes he knows about the breakup.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock closed the door and followed Leonard into the kitchen... and tilted his head in slight confusion.]

While I do find your natural pigmentation brighter than others, I have never once reflected a light source at your person.

[Have fun with Buzzkillington at your party...]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[Jim and Leonard shared a dry chuckle. The doctor reached for the bourbon bottle asking Jim in a quiet voice 'should I open it?'. Jim smiled and nodded.]}

It's a southern vernacular, Spock. It means ya took a liking to 'im... _{[He glanced between both men, now wondering if that wasn't the exact truth.]}

Why are you really here, Jim?



_{[The captain turned the skewers over on the grill, face pointed down at his work... but his eyes lifted to engage Spock's. They should tell his best friend, his brother...]}

[spohkh]

[Spock shared that look with his T'hy'la, and inclined his head...]

I believe it would be prudent to...as you say... 'break the news' to Doctor McCoy at this time.

[A very small smile play at Spock's lips as he regarded Jim. Of course you can tell Leonard... he was your family after all.]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[McCoy looked between them a tad confused.]}

Break what news? I....

...Jim... Jim did he...

_{[Then he looked to Spock, completely serious but hopeful. His eyes were focused and for a moment he was silent. He knew how lovesick Jim was about Spock. He was the only one who knew his brother's woes about the most unpredictable partner he could have ever chosen. They'd drank about it night after night, McCoy had been his shoulder to mope on. Had he gotten his wish? He knew Uhura and Spock broke up... Spock had reacted so harshly when Jim died... had he... had a change of heart?]}

Yeah, Bones. He did. And we are.

[spohkh]

[Spock quirked an eyebrow.... While he did understand that humans had many ways of communication, he still found himself amazed that entire concepts could be perceived through a few words.

The Vulcan looked between his Captain and Doctor McCoy...

Standing straight with his hands behind his back, Spock finally addressed McCoy with a raised eyebrow.]

I believe it is a human custom for one to seek a 'blessing' from a family member. Since the Captain sees you as family... might I have your approval Doctor McCoy?

[It was awkward as heck...but Spock was trying.]

[demon_prosecutor]

<sub>[Jim smiled to himself as Spock continued on. Yes, very awkward but that's what he signed up for with you. Awkward, painfully blunt, decidedly logical, and... magnificent...

McCoy on the other hand was giving Spock a cryptic stare and only in the passage of about a minute did his eyes soften and grow perhaps... almost fond.]</sub>



Can I ask what changed your mind?

[spohkh]

[Spock did not look fond.... Because the situation surrounding Spock's realization is something that he would care never to see again.]

You may...

And to answer your question... [Spock seemed to struggle to find the right words...]... it would seem that death is a very enlightening experience for all of those involved Doctor.

[Vulcans were very reserved with their emotions, and who they share them with. Spock and Leonard aren't exactly friends.... so for Spock to say this much was almost pushing it.]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[Well lucky for you, Spock that's all Leonard needed. And you two could work on this whole 'becoming friends' thing. He understood. Jim died and you realized what you'd lost. Simple enough. In fact it sounded really...you.]}

I see... well... consider me satisfied. Though Jim, you and I are talking later.

Got it. _{[Jim seemed pleased, casually so even.]}

Well Spock... Jim's incredibly illogical as you'd say. I'm sure you'll both have no trouble staying occupied.

[spohkh]

[Spock tilted his head...regarding McCoy with a too innocent look.]

I find it quite fascinating that you of all people would qualify Jim as 'incredibly illogical', Doctor McCoy....
I believe, in this instance, the Terran saying is...'pot, meet kettle'..

[Have a very small smirk. That was for the 'occupied' comment. Plus, arguing with Leonard was a rather satisfying pass-time.]

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[He chuckled then, an honest to god chuckle. Spock you weren't all bad...]}

Never said I wasn't the same to a degree, Spock. Self awareness isn't something the vulcan people have a monopoly on.

_{[He only meant that you were now responsible for Jim's adventurous nature. He saw the whole world, his whole life as an adventure waiting to be had. You'll be busy with this one... wait did you think he implied sex? Oh no no! GOD no! Don't put that in his mind!]}

Jim qualifies as illogical even in my book, Spock. That's saying something.

_{[Jim feigned a pout.]}

Hey...

Let me know when you want to do the party scene. XD

[spohkh]

[Monopoly? Spock quirked an eyebrow at the entire scene... Ka'adith, what is, is.
Also, humans were always talking about sex... it was a logical assumption. Want some bleach?

The Vulcan started to remove himself from the kitchen... wanting to give the other two some space. He'll just go over there...see? Busying himself with taking down some glasses and displaying various drinks for when the rest of their company arrives.]

Please excuse me....

[Spock was always aware that his company sometimes put a...strain on certain conversations. If he removed himself, then he knew that they could talk about whatever they wanted. He doesn't mind at all....]

In about tag or so~ and it's Chekov and Sulu. Who are maybe totally getting together.

[demon_prosecutor]

<sub>[Well Jim would be sad if you left only because you thought you were unwanted. but for now your con has worked. They are not suspicious. In fact McCoy could be heard speaking in a hushed tone to Jim.]

Well congratulations Jim, you got what you wanted.

I know... I'm still trying to adjust...

So what, it just happened this morning? When he came to the hospital? Boy you two sure move fast.

I'm not patient and when Spock knows he wants something that's more or less it. No reason to stall.

Sounds like you two are some starcrossed lovers.

You're not far from the truth...

Aha....wait, what?

I'll tell you later.

[Ah, another knock on the door. There was a giggling on the other side... it sounded like chekov...]</sub>

XDDDDD

[spohkh]

[Spock couldn't help but hear what was being said.. superior Vulcan hearing and all that... and what he heard made his ears blush green. Were they moving too fast? But it was illogical to wait if it was right...
These were questions he would ask Nyota if she was still inclined to be his friend.
At the knock, the Vulcan looked up from placing glasses on the table and went to the door.
Ah... their navigator and helmsman..]

Welcome Mister Chekov... Mister Sulu... Please, come in. [Again, the Vulcan gestured for them to come inside. Be it never said that he wasn't a gentlevulcan.]

They are so cute~ Also I can play Nyota talking to Spocki if you want.

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[Sulu looked rather pleased to be here but not so much as his partner who was almost bouncing with glee.]}

Commender! Keptin!

<sub>[He paused, then ran to the bar, sitting to the side of McCoy, already abuzz with excitement. His captain was alive!! Pavel had wept when he heard the news... his captain had made the ultimate sacrifice and he was both moved and destroyed by that gesture. He'd felt so guilty, completely to blame for not getting Enterprise up and running in time, for not fixing it well enough to even warrant Jim having to re-align her himself.

Jim greeted them both animatedly. Then in short order the rest came. Scotty and Keenser, Carol... and Nyota.]</sub>

Actually, that would be awesome. XD HAPPY 300

[spohkh]

[Spock had greeted each guest at the door and had shown the same polite manner to everyone...

...but it was Nyota that made him hesitate.]

Nyota... please, come in.

[Spock held her gaze for a moment... then opened the door wider to let her in. He wished to speak with her... and there was a balcony that would serve as privacy from the rest of the crew..

...but he didn't know how to ask exactly.]

Say no more, lovie~

[demon_prosecutor]

<sub>[The guests were all chattering with Jim, he whole crew was happy to see him and everyone was carrying on. No one would notice if the two of them slipped away for a moment...

Nyota stepped in, eyes cast downwards. She had almost not come tonight. She didn't know that she could stand seeing Spock so quickly throwing her away. Any other man and she couldn't have been bothered but Spock... she loved him. She hated the choice he made but she could respect it. And this party was a show of strength. She wasn't going to run away and cry while Spock moved on, clearly almost overnight.

Quietly she handed Spock something, a hand-made collection of various teas from around Earth. She'd given them to him periodically throughout their relationship and she was pretty sure he enjoyed them.]</sub>

This is for you. Don't read anything into it. I had it for a few weeks and never got around to giving it to you. You may as well have it.

[spohkh]

[Spock looked at the box of tea in his hands... then up at Nyota...He respected her, and part of him still loved her. With time, he hoped that they could have the family vibe that Jim and Leonard had...
...but that would take time.]

Nyota... I wish to speak with you. [The Vulcan looked over at the guests...]

May we relocate to the balcony?
