Dislcaimer: I don't own Star Trek and this is for pure entertainment of McKirk fangirls. No copy-write intended.
Summary: Bones has a crush on the Diamond of Star Fleet and the poor doctor is miserable.
I am now really convinced that my muse is on speed lol
Bones' Diamond in the Rough
Bones collapsed onto the couch in his office, sprawling his lean frame across the entire length. He hadn't bothered to turn on the lights, he didn't want the luminous rays to be witness to his turmoil, but he had locked the door. The only person who could over-ride his lock was the very person he was trying to escape. He moaned aloud at that thought rubbed both his eyes, before tracing his fingers through his brown tresses. It was really unfair that of all the people his damn heart could have learned to love it was one of the few people that was so off-limits to him it was like he was Andorian Shingles mixed with Orion Herpes or something much more worse that his brain couldn't think of right now because blue eyes and miles of sun-kissed skin were still haunting him. For all the peaches in Georgia, why in the hell had Leonard "Bones" McCoy fell in love with James T. 'Hotter-Than-Hell' Kirk?!
He was a doctor damnit, not some love-sick teenaged girl! So why did he fall asleep every night thinking of those perfectly kissable lips, dream about things no man should about their best friend and wake up with proof that the love he had for Jim was no longer platonic? Oh, he really hated this. He was more cranky than he had ever been in his whole damn life and even Chappell was starting to avoid him unless abso-freaking-lutely necessary. The only thing this torture was not affecting was his patient care. He was still the best damn ship physician this side of the unknown. Bones would never, ever let something in his personal life affect the care he gave those in need of his service. However, that was the only given in this whole stinking situation. He slammed his hands down into the couch cushions, wishing it was a surface that would not have gave way to his angst so quickly. This was beyond unfair, this was like some crazy-ass Greek god had decided to piss all up in his life and stir it around for good measure. Men were not supposed to love their best friends. They were not supposed to notice how fine their commanding officer looked in his uniform. They were not supposed to be able to notice how their roommate walked when he was hurt, nervous, angry or horny, or how hot it was with any but the first. Nope, no where in the guide of being a man had any of that been listed, Bones was sure of it.
Bones didn't know how to stop it, but he sure as hell knew when it began. It began when that little shit-eating-smug-bastard started talking to him in the shuttle. Anyone else would have looked at him like he was crazy and made damn sure their paths never crossed again after his little rant with the shuttle officer. But what did the hottest man on the planet do instead? He made damn sure that he and newly-named Bones were freaking roommates! Talk about torture, living with Klingons would have been easier for Bones. Jim liked to walk around in his underwear – his whitey-thighty underwear! Bones cursed that thought thru his clenched teeth. If Bones ever found out that Jim knew he had the hots for him and was doing that shit on purpose Bones would do several things to him that even Jim Kirk would be too ashamed to admit in public (and that was saying something).
It actually hurt Bones to see Jim with a different girl every week (or night depending on Jim's mood) at the academy. Now at least Jim kept his 'personal activities' limited to shore leave, but it still stabbed Bones straight thru the heart. He knew he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell with Jim, but it was much too easy for all the other things (he did not think of them as people) to have a night with him. But Bones was the one that Jim came to for chats, discussions, meals and everything else but sex. Bones was the support system and family of James T. Sex-God Kirk. The life of a sex machine captain was lonely without a constant flow of women, so Bones helped fill in the quiet times. Because if Jim were his, he wouldn't just be a one-nighter, he would be the happily-ever after.
Not to say that Jim didn't love Bones. Bones knew that Jim did love him, it was just totally platonic. However, Bones would take what ever scrap Jim threw him. Jim had told Bones time and again that he was so thankful to have finally found someone who could put up with his shit and stick around, his own mother and brother hadn't done that. Not that from the looks of James T. Melt-In-Your-Mouth Kirk one could tell that he had the self-worth of an ant, but Bones knew it. So, he made sure to comfort Jim every chance he got. But of course, he had to do it in a manly way. It did help that Jim was a touchy-feely kinda of guy - that helped Bones comfort him with a hug or a pat on the shoulder or some times just holding Jim close letting him have human contact when he needed it the most. Hell, there were nights at the academy when Jim was so upset about something that he had crawled in the bed with Bones and let Bones hold him the whole night thru. That was one of the most peaceful sleeps that Bones had ever had.
Bones would do anything for James T. Youngest-Captain-In-Star-Fleet-History Kirk. Damnit to hell, he had followed that man into space! He was still upset about that. However, now as CMO he had duties to attend to, which right now involved a half-naked Kirk being bandaged from the last away mission. Seeing Jim laying there looking good enough to eat is why Bones had decided a five minute break was the best thing the doctor had ordered during the whole damn medical emergency otherwise known as "Kirk Diplomacy". Sighing, he heaved himself up as he mental prepared himself to come face to face with that gorgeous man once again. Ignoring any more erroneous thoughts, he was sure he all his shit straight again. Bones unlocked the door and strode back into the Med Bay, scowl appropriately placed.
A/N: Thanks for reading!
Ok, I had to do it! I feel much better that it is out of my system lol. I'm not usually a fan of McKirk but one too many vids on YouTube will change your mind.
I was thinking of doing another chapter from Kirk's view, whatcha think? Hit the review and let me know!
