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..."

Date: 2013-06-09 04:24 am (UTC)Jim was alive...
The Vulcan could barely put into words what he had experienced as he witnessed the life fade from those vibrant, beautiful eyes. Spock never wanted to see it again.
It also made him realize a few things.]
Thanks are unnecessary Captain.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:29 am (UTC)[He reached forward, almost asking for Spock's hand... then he rethought it and just laid quietly in his bed. Bones stepped out of the room, another patient needing him]
How's... shit, how's anything...
[so much had happened. His father figure was murdered, his ship was nearly destroyed, some of his crew died... where did he begin?]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:34 am (UTC)I can give you an update, however I am disinclined to speak of 'work' at this time.
[Spock steps closer to the bed...and hesitates.]
May I sit?
[A curious sensation.... so this must be what it is like to walk on 'eggshells'. The Vulcan can't keep his eyes off of Jim...
...he's alive.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:38 am (UTC)[he patted the bed at his hip]
Later then... is something... going on?
[Something else you want to talk about?]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:41 am (UTC)I am... uncertain of how to broach the subject. However, I am compelled to tell you that I am...
....relieved to see you alive Jim.
[There, he said your name.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:44 am (UTC)What is it? Just say it...
Yeah yeah I'm alive, great. What's going on with you?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:46 am (UTC)Lieutenant Uhura and I have terminated our romantic relationship.
[Spock didn't seem all that upset about it...]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:49 am (UTC)[He was at a loss for words. Second time in his life. He looked... well, troubled.]
Spock I... I'm sorry to hear that. [But Spock looked far from upset about it, though that was hard to tell with the vulcan.]
Did she end it? Over that whole... 'you don't care enough' bullshit?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:51 am (UTC)It seems that I do not belong with her.
[Spock eyes sweep over Jim's face...taking in ever detail, and memorizing it.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:56 am (UTC)So.... you ended it over the 'you don't care enough' bullshit?
I mean, it's your thing. As long as you two can get along on Enterprise still... oh right. No work talk.
... I'm assuming your lack of tears means you're okay?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 04:59 am (UTC)That is not why I terminated our relationship...
Also, she is a professional, she will not let a personal issue impact her performance on the Enterprise.
[Spock hesitates once more....]
I am... more than 'okay' Jim.
[The Vulcan makes an abortive move with his hand, as if he was going to reach out.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:02 am (UTC)[Well count Jim in on that too since he had an aborted move of accepting that hand hold. As soon as he realized what he was about to do he broke eye contact with Spock, suddenly finding great interest in the computer his vitals were displayed on.]
Well that's good to hear... she's a good woman. I'm sure she'll move on and find someone else. You too.
... I know it's a bit early to say but you got any prospects?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:11 am (UTC)[Spock shifted on the bed... leaning closer to Jim.
The Vulcan seemed to be whispering something under his breath...]
Take, O take those lips away
That so sweetly were forsworn,
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn...
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:14 am (UTC)[Jim...blinked. What was Spock doing? What? What was he saying? His brows furrowed in confusion again]
Ah. What now? You're not making any sense, Spock.
Don't tell me you had to come here because Uhura won't read poetry with you anymore.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:20 am (UTC)[Spock's voice rumbled low as he spoke the Vulcan words to Jim... leaning closer still.]
Jim...
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:26 am (UTC)[He was so close... Jim could feel his warmth rolling off his superheated body. Spock's voice, his native tongue- while he didn't understand a word- had an exotic beauty to it. His First's voice was one that he'd enjoyed from day one. And then he was so CLOSE... well hell was he going to kiss him!? What was happening here? Jim had almost told Spock how he felt when he was dying but Spock hadn't quite gotten it which was fine. He was okay to let his First believe whatever made him most comfortable. "Friend" had come out of his mouth so that's what they'd stay. Friends.
But this language...]
Spock I... I...
[actively fighting against stealing just a little kiss. Couldn't he say it was an accident? Spock was kind of in his face...]
I don't know what you're saying... remember I'm not Uhura.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:28 am (UTC)Jim... I have no difficulty in remembering that you are not Uhura.
[Spock steeled himself.... It was now or never. The Vulcan lifted his hand and gently caressed the side of Jim's face with those long fingers.]
Jim...
I wish to kiss you.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:33 am (UTC)[Well he was listening aptly until you touched him, Spock. Touched him and then said the most un-Spock-like words imaginable. The captain just stared a moment. Then he grinned, he couldn't help it. Sorry he'd just been craving candy and you were the whole store showing up for him.]
...you're not serious...
[Except please be serious. For the love of all that is good in this world please be serious.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:37 am (UTC)Jim was amused?
Perhaps... did he read into this incorrectly?
Spock looked momentarily lost.]
I have never been more serious Jim. However, if I was incorrect in my assumptions, please inform me and I will cease my advancements.
[Spock started to back away.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:42 am (UTC)Then Spock inched away and Jim blurted out]
You're not wrong.
You're right, you're exactly right. I just... didn't think you knew...
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:46 am (UTC)I did not know.... however, it is very rare that a T'hy'la bond is one-sided. Jim...
...the moment you died I recognized you for what you really were. My T'hy'la.
My everything.
[Spock was becoming emotional? Jim always brought out the best and worst in Spock, and right now the Vulcan was pouring out his feelings for the man.]
I request again... May I kiss you?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:49 am (UTC)[He grabbed Spock and dragged him forward, kissing him hard and with all his passion. All the times he fought hard not to kiss Spock roughly when they sparred... it all went into this. A kiss that was wet, hot, wanton, and hardly lacking in fire. Jim was like a lit cannon.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:52 am (UTC)The Vulcan framed Jim's face with his hands, and reverently traced the golden skin...
Spock was unused to kissing with this amount of passion, and did his best to hang on. He even attempted to slow it down a bit, dragging on Jim's bottom lip.... tongue battling with Jim's.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 05:56 am (UTC)Finally, finally he got to taste those lips. He could die happy now.... wait... no he couldn't. Now he just wanted more.]
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 06:01 am (UTC)Placing his hands on Jim's chest he pulled back slightly.]
Jim...
Perhaps... this is not the best location or time? You only just regained consciousness from having experienced death...
[Spock couldn't help himself, he leaned forward and nuzzled against Jim's cheek.]
