Song is Halo by Beyonce. Or most of it anyway, since it repeats so much at the end!
This is unbeta'd…all mistakes are my own!
Title: Reflections and Musings
Rating: F for Fluffy! I mean, G.
Pairing: Kirk/Bones
Genre: Humor
Disclaimer: if I owned them, well, life would be whole lot different.
Summary: Bones reflects on his relationship with Jim one night while he can't sleep.
Sitting in bed, watching Jim sleep while sprawled over most of the bed always made Bones feel, well, whole. He always wondered why he was the one special enough to earn such a great friend, partner, and lover. An equal who happened to be most intelligent, arrogant, charming, irritating bastard on board, right after Spock. Considering the fact that Bones was less than stellar when it came to lasting relationships and a grump of a person most of the time, he oftentimes wondered what Jim saw. The music in the background that they had playing during dinner changed tracks. The tracks were an eclectic range of music, dating from the mid-20th century onward. As Bones acknowledged the change in music, he caught himself thinking of the words and how they applied to his relationship with the sleeping captain…
Remember those walls I built
Yeah, damn ex-wife
Well baby they're tumbling down
Hm. More like exploding
And they didn't even put up a fight
Unlike the Romulans we just faced
They didn't even make a sound
Because we're in space, dammit!
I found a way to let you in
You kept bugging me
But I never really had a doubt
Because you never had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I wish everyone could see you like I do
I've got my angel now
Oh how cheesy is that?
It's like I've been awakened
No, really it's because I'm awake right now
Every rule I had you breakin'
I had you break? Nah, must be the other way around
It's the risk that I'm takin'
Because working with Spock isn't risky enough
I ain't never gonna shut you out
You won't let me, kid
Everywhere I'm looking now
Which would be over all the damn galaxies
I'm surrounded by your embrace
*grunt* you just threw your arm over me
Baby I can see your halo
Yeah, sitting on top of your horns
You know you're my saving grace
The world does seem a better place when you are around
You're everything I need and more
And want
It's written all over your face
Starting with those beautiful and always laughing blue eyes. Did I say beautiful? Good thing you can't hear my thoughts right now!
Baby I can feel your halo
Even when you are on one of your fool away missions
Pray it won't fade away
Ever…
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
And it's all mine
I see your halo (halo) halo
For no one else to take
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
Hmm. Wonder how many times she says halo?
I can see your halo (halo) halo
Why do you try so hard to not show it?
Hit me like a ray of sun
Like when I hit you with a hypospray
Burning through my darkest night
Huh. We're still in space…every DAY is dark!
You're the only one that I want
Even if you decided to leave
Think I'm addicted to your light
Which is much more intoxicating than the bourbon I've been drinking
I swore I'd never fall again
Again because of the damn ex-wife
But this don't even feel like falling
Nope, even when I got jealous because I thought you were dating half of the academy
Gravity can't forget
Although, hello, space! No gravity!
To pull me back to the ground again
That would probably cause some sort of freak disease to settle in my bones and then you would have to take care of me. Huh. That's not a bad idea.
It's like I've be…
Suddenly the music faded out. Bones mentally jumped at the silence that surrounded the room. He looked down to see that Jim had rolled over and was now sprawled over Bones' chest. Bones smiled half to himself as he gently ran his fingers through Jim's sandy blond hair. Jim snuggled closer and as he was getting comfortable again, he sleepily whispered, "She only said it twelve times."
End.
Anyone interested in Jim's thoughts on the song? Thanks for reading…
