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..."

Since Jim is human, his mind is not formatted to sustain and contain a Vulcan marriage bond. Right now, his mind is establishing new pathways to accommodate it.... and it is causing him a great amount of fatigue.

He... is in no pain unless I venture to far away from him. What you experienced this morning was not your fault. Jim's skin is very sensitive right now due to the psychic nature of the bond... and anyone's touch but my own will cause him extreme discomfort.

I informed Jim that I would have been satisfied with a simple marriage in the human sense, but he insisted we do it this way. We talked about it at great length, and consulted my father... because my mother experienced something similar to what Jim is going through.

My apologies for not informing you before hand.

[done_in_3]

How far is too far? Should you be down here? Will he ever be able to touch someone else? Or am I not allowed near my own son anymore?

... Jim did say something like that... I just didn't understand it. I still don't. Are you... is it true you think he was born to be your husband? That you two were destined by fate or something?

_{[She chuckled, not quite believing.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock raised an eyebrow. He understood vaguely, why Winona was so cynical towards love. She herself had lost her love....

...If he was in her position, he... well. He probably would have handled it better. Not gonna lie.

The Vulcan regarded the blond woman.]

This distance is permissible, and he will not be like this forever. You will be able to reestablish contact with him in due time.
As for your other query, the answer is 'yes'. Jim and I are T'hy'la. It is a very old Vulcan concept of two beings who are destined to find each other, no matter their position in the universe. Our minds are so compatible, that they would not have stopped until their other half was found.

[Yeah, it sounded radical, but Spock was an alien, so it could be believed.]

This bond is considered quite an honour to my people.... and my family has been informed. They would see Jim when he is ready to do so... and conduct a public marriage ceremony. Many people will attend.... because a T'hy'la bond has not been seen in almost one thousand years.

[Spock was serious. Do you see this serious face? He meant every word.]

[done_in_3]

... forgive me if I have a hard time swallowing it. I just... this is the first I knew that Jim had some magic soul mate. You'd think if he were half of a whole he wouldn't have been sleeping around so much. He'd have been looking for you--...

_{[She gave herself an idea. Maybe Jim had been sleeping with strangers so feverishly because he was looking for something. Looking and not finding.]}

Do you think that caused his... no... no nevermind.

So you're going to marry him up proper? How are you two going to plan that? Do you have any ideas about it so far?

[spohkh]

Marry him proper? You man in the human sense? Yes.
As for ideas...


[Spock hesitates...] We were hoping that you could help us with that.

[done_in_3]

I suppose you'll need it since Jim isn't going to be of much help. It takes a long time to plan a wedding and if you mean to have that finished before you two ship off to space...

well we'd better get started now I suppose.

[spohkh]

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?
