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..."

...

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.]

[done_in_3]

.... yes.

_{[He feels even more useless needing someone to read to him like a child. But he couldn't do it himself... he gestures to a book at his bedside table. Brave New World. Would Spock read that? He'd.. be happy then. They'd read it together sort of...]}

[spohkh]

[Spock picked up the book..]

A Brave New World... interesting, I have not read this.

[The Vulcan continues to spoon himself against Jim, holding the book out in front of them both so Jim could follow along if he wanted.]

"A squat grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, 'Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Center, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, 'community, Identity, Stability. The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room itself, a harsh thing light glared through the windows...."

[The Vulcan read for hours... content to read to Jim for as long as he wanted.]

[done_in_3]

_{[It was a fascinating book telling a chilling story about a utopian society that pre-rendered its citizens and biological perfection, blocking the abilities of some and not others, using propaganda and drugs to control its citizens. There was a single tribe of natives that were left to be 'normal' though the book's society noted them as barbarians.... a single man from that tribe ended up in the utopia... Jim was both moved and fascinated by the tale. A cautionary tale indeed. But he didn't make it to the climactic ending. He fell asleep. Spock's voice is just too soothing when he's already half tired.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock puts down the book once he realizes that Jim is fully asleep. Putting the book away, the Vulcan settles down to meditate for awhile... breathing with his mate as a way to concentrate.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Strangely enough Jim starts to dream, not the unnatural thing, but he dreams about Spock's meditation. His mind picks up on the focus and responds. In his dream Jim is purging his thoughts, thinking of only peaceful things.]}

[spohkh]

[During meditation, Spock notes Jim's curious and peaceful presence. Instead of ignoring him, the Vulcan pulls Jim deeper into his mind... wanting him to share the meditation with him.

They went so deep that eventually they were sitting on the rock overlooking the city of Shi'khar. Spock was sitting behind Jim... holding him close as Spock breathed the desert air deeply.]

Welcome Ashaya.

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim was surprised at what was happening, not sure he understood it entirely. But it was probably just a dream... Either way he leaned back against Spock.]}

Where are we?... This looks like...

but it was destroyed... where... is this?

[spohkh]

This is my mind Jim... at least, part of it. I come here to meditate. Here I can relax in the temperatures of my home planet.

You are looking at my projection of the city of Shi'khar.... and we're sitting on the mountains of Ma-Laya.
Do you like it?

[Spock hugged Jim tight... enjoying the feel.]

[done_in_3]

You can go to places you know like this? None of this is real?... I...

wow.

This is where you grew up? Where's your house? Where's your school?

_{[He was pleased by the hug, he put a hand over Spock's arm.]}
