AN: Anyone here ever seen "Star Trek: The Final Frontier"? Well, in it, Kirk and the others are shipped out on a mission while the Enterprise isn't much more than a bucket of badly-held-together bolts. Kirk's chair was replaced, I guess, and he makes the below comment to Bones. The best part, however, is the look he shares with Spock. I swear to God, this is exactly what Spock's expression is saying.
Captain Kirk settled into his chair, sitting for a moment before rocking in it experimentally. The entire chair shook with the motion, making a gentle squeaking noise. As he should have expected, it was in as good a shape as the rest of the ship.
"What is it, Jim?" Bones sighed, partly sympathetically curious, but mostly tired and wishing he was still on shore leave in the middle of Yosemite Park.
"I miss my old chair." Kirk pseudo-whined. He threw a sidelong glance to Spock, who raised one eyebrow in a telltale manner. Anyone on the bridge would have thought nothing of it. Anyone on the bridge would have been unaware of the exchange made through the Captain and his Vulcan First Officer's mental bond.
I had tried to warn you that your chair would be an insufficient platform for sexual intercourse, Jim.
As Sulu launched the ship into warp, Kirk allowed a quick look of pleased shock pass across his face.
Whatever, Spock- you owe me a new chair.
End Notes: Oh my god, it's so short! I may actually tack another piece unto this, in the same timeframe, but slightly different. Like, it'll be set in "ST: The Final Frontier", but it won't be the same circumstances. We'll see. : ]
