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 looked at Jim... and seemed to remember himself and blushed slightly in embarrassment.
Keeping his composure though, he obtained a bowl and ladled some soup for himself, and joined Jim at the table.]

Of course Ashaya... May I inquire as to the whereabouts of your mother?

[done_in_3]

_{[He sat with Spock, sipping from his bowl casually.]}

Starfleet needs her at the base here. She said she'd be home later to night... and I asked her something this morning and she said alright, so I have to ask you now...

[spohkh]

[Spock put down his spoon, giving Jim his full attention...]

Jim? What is it?

[done_in_3]

Uhm... well we talked about it and your dad said this could take a long time for me to adjust when we bond. And we've had a couple of setbacks but the clock is still ticking. We won't have this window again...

I was wondering if you'd be terribly put out to do that today.

_{[He smirked as if he could hardly dream of Spock saying no.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock blinked, and for a moment he looked pained...]

Ashaya, are you certain? You are in a less than satisfactory physical condition, and this stage in the bonding process will not be easy. Are you certain you do not wish to wait?

[Of course Spock would never tell Jim 'no' if he asked... but still.... Spock wouldn't be Spock without his logical self popping up now and again.]

[done_in_3]

I'm more than certain, Spock. I've put us behind enough. I want to be as functional as I can when Enterprise re-launches... this isn't just about us, it's about our crew too. They need me coherent...

And I need you so what are we waiting for? Let's call your father.

[spohkh]

[Spock breathes.... then nods.]

Very well. I am certain my father will be pleased... in his own way.

[The Vulcan stands, and grabs the portable comm device and brings it back to the table. Sitting, he holds out his hand for Jim to take... his eyes going warm.]

I am looking forward to becoming one with you Ashaya.

[done_in_3]

_{[He smiled right back, blue eyes warming geniunely.]}

Me too.

_{[Once put through, their call would reach the Embassy, then Sarek's secretary, and then Sarek himself.]}



...Spock?

[spohkh]

[Spock seems to straighten even more at his father's presence.]

Greetings father. I trust you are well?

[Spock looks over at Jim... then back to his father on the screen.]

We have news.

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim smiles and makes no attempt to sit up straighter. He's perfectly comfortable slumped against the chair. Sarek raises his eyebrows as if to suggest Spock just follow that sentence with whatever the news was rather than wait for him to request it like humans normally do. It was entirely illogical. You initiated this call, you say it.]}

[spohkh]

[If Spock were any less Vulcan, he would have made Sarek guess...
..Ka'adith.]

We have started the bonding process, and we wanted to tell you. We were also wondering if you have any further advice to give us.

[Spock was kind of hoping that there wouldn't be any ceremony required. Most of his clan was dead now... surely they would have to stand on formality....]

[done_in_3]

_{[Sarek seems to pause, almost as if he had to think about that one. Was there... something emotional happening? He felt a bit sad... and joyous... and lonely... and proud.]}

I am pleased to hear that... I had considered it previously. You'll be pleased to know that your grandmother finds it in your best interest that you bond yourselves without a formal ceremony. I objected to the idea but... she was adamant.

...Nonetheless you have my blessing.

... I will advise that you be patient with him, Spock. And for Jim... do not try to push yourself. You will feel helpless but you will gradually recover. Rushing this impatiently will only tarnish the final bond.

Spock... you must be poised to tend to him. He will feel helpless because he will be. His needs will be known to you and not others... using that to help Jim... will help strengthen the bond and keep it thriving in its young stage...

_{[He feels like he wants to say something else...]}

[spohkh]

[Spock regards his father for a long moment.

It's as if he can almost see those emotions flit through his father's features.]

I thank thee for your blessing, father. Your advice will be followed.
However, are you feeling satisfactory?

[done_in_3]

I...


....


Commend your observation.

Your mother would have savored this moment... I find myself curious as to what our interaction would have been, reflecting on your growth as an adult entering into a bonded life.

<sub>[He misses his wife, he misses being half of a set of parents. He misses talking about everything and nothing and now you are stepping away from him... he's sad.

Jim leans forward]</sub>

Would it help if we came by when we could?

[spohkh]

[Spock went quiet.
That's right... his mother wasn't here to experience this with them. It's not as if he forgot, her absence in his life was very noticeable...

...now more than ever. He was getting married and she wasn't there to see it. This was... unfortunate.
And now his father was alone.]

Yes... we will visit. Or perhaps...
[Spock looked to Jim...] Perhaps we could extend an invitation to visit us here at the farm?

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim nodded]}

I've talked to mom. We have plenty of rooms here. If you have time, I'll send you the address. Come whenever you want. I mean you'll have to accept me however I am but I'd be happy if you came.

_{[Sarek considered it.]}

I cannot guarantee anything but... I appreciate the offer.

[spohkh]

It is my hope that your decision will lead you here father.

However, as soon as we are able, we will come by the embassy to visit with you.

[Spock lifts his hand in a Ta'al...]

Peace and long life to you, father... until next we meet.

[done_in_3]

It would be beneficial if we can meet before you depart for space. I'd prefer to establish a familial bond with you, Jim, while you have a window of time to grow accustomed to it.

_{[ Thus giving him two sons to be lonely about...He offered the ta'al in return.]}

Live long... and prosper. Both of you.

It is my hope that the bonding process is a success.

_{[And he was out. Busy man. Jim nuzzled against Spock.]}

... You ready?

[spohkh]

[Spock hummed in response to Jim's affections.]

I...

[Spock was about to say that he was uncertain. Sure he was nervous... he was nervous for Jim, and what this might do to him. They were not guaranteed his safety.
But one touch, one sentiment from this man and he would be ready for anything. He faced death and danger.. surely they could face a marriage.
The Vulcan kissed Jim's forehead.]

Yes. Though perhaps we should relocate to our bedroom. It might be best if you were already lying down.

[done_in_3]

[He smirked and stole a slow kiss. Sweet, loving, and wet.]

... race me.

[He ran off and darted upstairs, taking him two at a time. Don't complain about him overexerting himself. He will rest soon. He bursts unto his room and jumps on his bed. ]

come on Spock. Marry me or lose me forever.

watching a movie with the folks~ I'll be online later~

[spohkh]

[Spock followed close on Jim's heels.... almost smiling in anticipation for what was to come.
He would have berated Jim for overexertion... but he could forgive it this once. The Vulcan soon joins Jim on the bed...]

Well we cannot have that Ashaya...

[His mental voice was... happy and apprehensive. But it was truly now or never.
Gingerly, the Vulcan lifted his hand to Jim's head, speaking the ritual words.]

My mind to your mind... my thoughts, to your thoughts.... [And plunged them into the darkness of their minds....]

What movie?

[done_in_3]

<sub>[He smiled to Spock, beaming with glee at this began. He was so eager and wanton to complete their bond, he had no room for anxiety or doubt. His mind had itched for Spock's as soon as they established their preliminary bond. He needed the real thing, and every second he had to wait for it was painful. It tried what little patience he had and he was finished.

Jim wouldn't yet say he liked the darkness of their minds just yet. But it was his theirs, it was sort of familiar. Just as he and Spock left it. He was possessive of this place that both did and did not exist. He fell into step seamlessly where they left off with him yearning and reaching for Spock all around him. A bright star in an inky darkness. He lit up the space all around him... Spock's presence was everywhere, strong, stoic, proud, unyielding... Jim knew it wouldn't falter, Spock was merely out of his reach. He reached out, his mind's yearning becoming rather loud. His star was shining gold, a glorious thing to look at, though Jim was oblivious to his appearance.

Every star in the space around them was a single thread of their bond. Spock was Space, Jim was the sun. He wanted their threads to grow stronger...]</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock filled the void around his sun... touching each and every single star and encouraging them to grow... becoming brighter, stronger.

This was indeed a comfortable place to be. The Vulcan basked in the glory of the sun that was Jim Kirk. Spock murmured in Vulcan as he communicated with the bond, filling the space with more and more stars, tying them together.

You could tell at this point that this bond was unbreakable, permanent. Their minds were becoming one, and Spock... well, he welcomed Jim into his mind. Invited him to see all that was there as Jim had done. There would be no judgement here... only love.]

[done_in_3]

<sub>[Jim watched in eager wonder and felt relief when their bond grew stronger. He felt it reach its full capacity and felt empowered. His light got only brighter and warmer. The stars gleamed brighter as he did, they became strong... and Jim felt as though he could do anything. Nothing was beyond him in this place. He didn't feel tired at all... he felt like he had the energy of the star he appeared as in their world.

He reached forward, willing Spock's life to open up so he could see all that he was, all his memories. He felt his own mind opening and spewing everything. Jim had a moment of concern for Spock to see it all... but he busied himself with Spock's memories.

A child born of two worlds, in a desert, with a father who was emotionally distant and a mother who couldn't show her love enough.

Jim's memories began too... a child born to a hollow broken woman with a monsterious new husband. A house on Earth in a rich field with only a kindly older brother to befriend. George was the spitting image of their father and he and Im whiled away the years. George was patient but demanded obedience. He was loyal and fierce and brave and Jim wanted to be just like him. He overcame all his fears with his brother who would accept none of them when they got in the way of adventures. Climbing trees, snow sledding, riding horse, swimming under water... Jim learned a lot from George and he was the idol of his life]</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock saw the memories fly through space at a warp speed. He reached out and became part of them all... watching them and living in them as he became part of Jim. His mind became hot with the rays of the sun touching every surface.
He could tell that Jim was worried about his reaction... but he assuaged his mate's fears by fully opening up the crevasses of his mind, welcoming Jim with open arms. Laying bare his soul in return.
Spock drank in the memories and shared his own... of a life on Vulcan.]
