Title: Saving Me
Pairing: Spock/Kirk, side Uhura/Scotty
Warnings: Slash, mano-a-mano, and prolly some far fetched ideas.....
AN: So, I listened to the song Saving Me by Nickelback today, and this really just popped into my head. It only follows the video kinda semi, because Kirk and Spock aren't together in the beginning. In fact, the only thing that follows the video, to the quote unquote "t" is the first chapter. After that, it is essentially my story.....
Spock and Kirk turned another corner on the street of Compass IX. The planet was a Star Base planet, thriving on the constant arriving Star Fleet members, the always changing species of people, and its very own indigenous culture. More and more people smiled and said hello to them as they walked passes, and they had to admit, the planet was welcoming.
"Alright," Jim said, turning to his companion, "I gotta take a leak."
"Can it not wait until we have found the shoppe that I had wanted to visit?" Spock said, raising an eyebrow and the now jumping Kirk.
"I'm sorry, Spock, it can't." He turned, noticed what appeared to be a gas station, and pointed, "I'll only be a few minutes, why don't you go and I'll meet up with you!"
Spock started to shake his head, "That is not necessary, Captain," he said, but was interrupted.
"You've got your communicator, don't you?" Jim said, already starting off. "Use it! I'll meet you in ten minutes at the corner next to the shoppe!" He shouted, running into the store as Spock closed his eyes momentarily to control his urge to sigh.
He entered the shoppe roughly forty-five seconds later and was elated. The shoppe held various plants and herbs which would be exceedingly helpful in the science lab aboard the Enterprise. After purchasing the correct ingredients, he accepted the bag and stepped outside to the corner. After waiting for six point three minutes amidst the flow of people walking, he pulled out his communicator and dialed Kirk.
"Spock, where the hell are you?" came Jim's voice.
"At the agreed corner, next to the shoppe. What is your location?" Spock replied.
"I'm there too, but I don't see you!" Jim paused, "The shoppe is called Euphoria, right?"
"Negative, Captain. The shoppe is called AgriCulture." Spock said, not bothering to comment on how the two names were nothing alike to the Captain.
"Ah, shit. I'm four blocks south. Can you meet me here, though, cause there is this really hot chick-" Kirk started, but was cut off by Spock.
"Understood, Captain," he said, as he began to walk across the street.
Suddenly, he was pulled back from an oncoming hovercraft that would have easily hit and killed him. He felt his heart shudder in his side, and his breath caught in his throat. That was extremely close as far as almost dying came. He turned to thank the person who had grabbed him, but found no person next to him. Instead, the people around him kept shuffling past him.
However, instead of just seeing people, he also saw things above their heads. They were numbers. Bright red numbers. All appeared to be counting down to something. He took note that all had different variations of numbers. Slightly older people had lower numbers, while most children had extremely high numbers.
Raising an eyebrow, he walked forward, glancing at the people around him. Every being around him had the numbers. He paused infront of someone, a person who was a member of Star Fleet, and currently stationed on the Enterprise.
"Commander Spock," the woman said, nodding to him. She was petite, her hair pulled into a bun. He stopped her, and waved his hand through the numbers. They smoked, disappearing momentarily before returning back to counting down. He frowned slightly, nodding to her before walking again.
What did these numbers mean?
