A/N: This is two shots, if Jim don't have allergy, what is it he's suffering? I don't own characters! This happen before second movie, so I'm having fun thinking up. Sick!Jim.

Chapter 1

For once Jim felt at home for first time when staying in Enterprise as captain. If he had allergy he blamed Bones, but in the end they still patching up as best friends. Afterwards he did not have allergy since, and Spock was aware of his food selection that Jim pick more common food he know is non-allergic. Spock did made comment of it, but was brushed off.

Now Jim headed to new planet where he has to join banquet, which included all admirals and captain's presence; Spock also offer to go as wish to see banquet and it may look fascinating to him.

"Sure!" That was what Jim said, offering to Spock.

"I'm coming, don't reject me," growled McCoy, with stern stare at Jim, while looking defiant.

Jim looked unfazed, shrugged in agreement before trotting down corridor to his quarter. Next twenty minutes, Jim looked slightly frantic, his head bobbed left to right searching for his best friend until Spock spoken up.

"I believe McCoy headstart first to check on banquet, it is wise of him to think of your health first," Spock reminding him, and Jim did not know what to say of it.

"Let's go. He don't wait for us," he said, with sulk tone.

Despite Spock continued his lecture, Jim could only smile and answering curtly until Spock left him be when finishing, they stepped down the stairs and allowing themselves being disarmed, laid phaser down on trays waitress provided.

"I know he care and I should not be surprised," Jim offer amiably. Then he suddenly coughed, it caught Spock's attention.

"I'm alright," said impatiently Jim, waved his hand off. "I've been coughing in the morning, so I guess I did not sleep well."

"Have you been sleeping with shirt off?"

"You got me. Yesterday night was damn hot after drinking with McCoy at his quarter, I guess he also cough in the morning."

"He did not, captain, earlier I've saw him well and healthy eighteen hundred minutes earlier, it's just you sleeping without it."

Conversation did not continued when they reached dining room after walking through entrance hall, Spock was temporarily distracted when McCoy approaching them with a smile.

"They have sitting arrangements, had enough tall posh for us," McCoy said. "Kitchen has alerted of your food allergies and there won't be food fiasco."

"You're the best," Jim compliment, which momentarily caught McCoy's eyebrows to raise. "Keep continuing look surprised I consider a good prank on you, I'm bored enough without any happening."

"Oh no you won't, if you did, if you fall sick I will continuing on with my signature hypo jab," McCoy growled.

"Bones, do admit it you do care," Jim couldn't help smile, and McCoy gave him blank look. "Never mind."

"What a kid, who is a captain."

"And I am, dear Bones," Jim then smiling wide.

"Your friendship and banter are admirably amazing, not to contradicting you, I feel you both are at ease sharing and exchanging for fun and I admit I find enjoyable spending with you both," Spock said, watched amused at McCoy who retreat back to kitchen when being dragged off by chefs to confirm for captain's diet.

"And that's what friends for," Jim enthused with light tone, while they took their seat place as seats were meant for them to sit together.

He looked up in time to see Admiral Archer who looked pleasantly acknowledging Jim's arrival in time, and Pike did not show any expression but wink at him. At same time dishes started to serve, as appetizer was served first while second course was on the way for dinner menu, he did not wait for long when roasted was second to join along then steak followed. Admirals had their own table, Jim noticed, as their table was filled of captains and first officer along as well. The event was meant to be extravagant once per year as they expected to have reunion, but it hold no other meaning but harmonious ties of all races of Starfleet, it is one of the advantages of hold captaincy and high rank command together, as it did not host all the time in one year.

Jim then savored in of roast potatoes as he munched his favorite, that moment tired looking McCoy sitting beside him.

"I'm bloody thirsty after giving long talk with chef, and that's why you will see ordinary food in front of you I've requested." McCoy was sweating, but looked pleased and satisfied of meal display.

"So I'm not going to die, that's good news," Jim said after swallowed down bits of potatoes. "Shall we keep profanity to low profile for a while?"

"Fine" was all McCoy said, he tucking in his meal after a long day. Jim coughed again.

"I don't like your cough."

"He's been coughing since morning, doctor McCoy, do you need his assistance of it?"

"Don't glare at my potatoes like they offended you as they did not," Jim retaliated when realizing what was McCoy about to do, who glaring down at it to pull face but half successfully, while his lip half twitched and eyes rolled left to stare from his corner of eye, and the sight look remarkable funny causing Jim to snort.

"Jim, potatoes you're eating aint helping with your cough," said McCoy after swallowing his pudding then proceed to glare at potatoes on Jim's plate. "It may not trigger any allergy but it's good enough to feel sick."

"Bones! Lay off my potato!"

"Stop being infant!"

"May I suggest you switch with pudding, will it soothe his cough he has?" Spock aired his voice.

Bones could not react when Jim coughed again.

"It's not helping," Bones's voice sounded dejected.

"You take him to Enterprise," Admiral's voice headed to them, it was Pike. "Since it's not allergy, I'm thankful, that he did come here to join, and thought matters."

"'m staying here," Jim's accent turned a bit stronger.

"Go son, I can explain to them," Pike's usual wise voice was soothing in Jim's ears as he know Admiral always in good mood when was around him, his manner was often known in any time he was in best behavior.

"Okay Jim, you've excused for short medical leave, we can go and rest," Bones said with conviction, using hand to heave his best friend up, who slightly stumbled, Spock was immediate to jump beside holding captain. Realizing something was off, Bones' free right hand moved to forehead with instinct. "Shit, you're burning up!"
