He was conscious, that he was sure of, except for the horrible pain radiating from his chest and that his eyes were heavy as lead. Panicking, the heart rate monitor beeped obnoxiously loud, and that only fueling his fear.
"Hey, hey. You're save Pavel let me get the doctor." He recognized the voice of Hikaru Sulu his best and only friend. He tried to nod his head but it only ended up clenching his eyes shut it pain. Hikaru returned a minute later. The Enterprise shook, glass shattered, McCoy cursed, there were several crashes, and many shouts.
Sulu grabbed his arm. "I need to get back to my post, fix him up McCoy." He squeezed his arm in a comforting gesture and was gone.
"That's my job." Bones replied back just a sassy as ever and another explosion racked the ship. McCoy cursed, "Goddamnit!"
Chekov cracked his eyes open and quickly shut them. "You're awake, good." He paused a second and dimmed the lights. Chekov once again tried to open his eyes, and he saw a blurry McCoy above him. He had a gash on his forehead and blood on half of his face. "Your forehead,"He tried to correct himself but he could not seem to remember English. "You're bleeding. What's going on, who is attacking us?"
"You've got a slight concussion. Just lay back and try to relax." McCoy pulled a blanket over the younger man. "Try not to move too much, you have a few broken ribs."
Chekov stared up at the ceiling, while McCoy fussed over the other patients that showed up one by one. He counted the tiles in the ceiling until McCoy made his way back to him. The doctor placed one hand on the side of his neck, surprisingly gentle for the normally gruff doctor.
He could feel the heat radiation of the doctor's hand. It was clammy and Chekov was tempted to reach up and grab it. He could imagine what it would feel like to have his smaller hand encased in the older mans much larger one, and with that though lingering in his mind he felt the hypospray touch the other side of his neck and he was out. He dreamed of long fingers, soothing him, touching his hair, calming him.
