In The Dark
Summary: Or five things they did in the dark. The relationship between Kirk and Spock evolved in stages in the dark. Slow building K/S. Slash in late chapters.
Disclaimer: I am just a poor student who owns nothing, and enjoys playing with other people's characters!
Rating: T for now, but may go up for later chapters.
Notes: So this is (hopefully) going to be a five part-er, and each chapter will be about one thing they did in the dark. I got the idea for the song "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" by Fall out Boy, but has nothing to do with the song itself.
Chapter 1: Hid
The silence was eerie.
Kirk almost wished that he could hear the recognizable sounds of battle. Anything would be better than the silence. The aloneness. The fear. Not for himself, of course, but for the rest of his crew members. All those innocents under his command, in danger because of Star Fleet's ignorance once again.
He crept slowly around the corner, eyes glancing everywhere in the darkened corridor. His knee screamed in agony with every step, but the safety of his crew was the only incentive he needed to continue on.
Though insulting every Star Fleet official he could name helped to moderate the pain also.
Honestly, the amount of times reports had come in claiming these new recently discovered races were agreeable and welcoming life forms, only for the crew of the Enterprise to find out the complete opposite, was staggering.
Which was what had happened this time.
Incorrect intelligence had once again led the landing party to be ambushed as soon as they made contact with the ground. Most had been subdued and taken prisoner, but a few crew members, well… Kirk didn't want to think about that. It hurt too much.
He saw a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned to get a better look at the doorway he had just passed.
"Show yourself!" Kirk shouted to the silhouette hiding in the doorway. His voice was hoarse and raspy, and sounded nothing like usual. He stepped closer, but found nothing. He turned around in search of the illusive shadow, when suddenly he was tackled to the ground. They rolled and wrestled on the floor for a few moments, and ended up on the other side of the doorway.
Jim soon found himself sprawled on his back, with a body –the shadow- on top of him.
A shadow with glossy black hair, golden brown eyes and cheeks flushed green.
"Spock?" he asked incredulously
"Affirmative Captain."
"Where is everyone, where are my crew?"
"Do not worry, Captain. They are safely aboard the Enterprise."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Rescuing you, Captain." As this was said, he looked down at Jim, and saw their compromising position. He rolled off his commanding officer and sat cross-legged next to him.
Taking advantage of their new positions, Jim sat up and attempted to stand. He failed dismally, crashing to the ground and knocking over the metal crates stacked to his left.
"No. You should be on the Enterprise, commanding Sulu to 'punch it' and get you all out of here!"
He was angry. Frustrated at himself, mostly. At his weakness. He refused to look at Spock, feeling too inept.
"Captain… Jim," Kirk's head snapped towards his First Officer. "I must insist that you keep your voice down. Do not give away our position more than you already have."
"You shouldn't have stayed, Spock."
"If roles were reversed, you would not have left."
"But that's me, Spock! Me and my hero-complex. You, your more of the 'logical', 'for the greater good' type."
"This was the only logical course of action, Captain. I was the only crew member who remained here after the rest of the landing party beamed aboard. There was no need for anyone else to be sacrificed."
Kirk's throat constricted as Spock continued.
"And I gave direct orders for Lieutenant Sulu to leave the planet's orbit if I did not return in 2 hours."
"And how long ago was that?"
"Approximately 52.73 minutes ago,"
"Then we have no time to lose!" Jim stood again quickly, only swaying slightly this time. Spock simply grabbed him and pulled him back down behind the crates.
"We cannot leave. Your commotion has drawn their attention. If we move, they will find us with ease. Fighting our way out should be a last resort."
Jim sighed. "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"We wait," Spock stated simply, "We remain silent, and hide until they pass."
And in the dark, they hid.
