Kirk gets help boarding the Enterprise. Here's a hint: It isnt Uhura that helps.
There is also some more sexy times... because I can't help myself XD
CMM is a great Beta. All mistakes are still mine.

Sadly, Star Trek is not mine

The moment the bonded couple step into the hanger they are surrounded by absolute chaos.
A commander dressed in professorial blacks approaches Kirk and Spock and hands the Vulcan a PADD. He explains that Spock is needed for assigning the cadets with surnames from A-G to their designated vessels.
Spock nods to his co-worker as the man runs off and then turns to his blond mate.
"I regret that I will have to leave you while I attend to my duties. Please go to the meeting area for students with names from H to O. I will reunite with you there when I am done."
Kirk doesn't let go of Spock's hand as the Vulcan tries to pull away. If anything Jim holds on tighter.
"But I'm on academic probation. What's the point of me staying here when my name won't be called?" 'And I can't just stay here on Earth while you fly off into danger,' he thinks.
Spock's eyes soften. He gently pulls his hand free but makes sure to caress the back of Jim's hand with two fingers before contact is completely broken. Spock grasps Kirk's chin and tilts it up so that he can gaze into sad, blue eyes.
"As you always state, 'It is worth a shot'. Do not worry, Ashayam. I have a plan if you are not assigned to any ship."
Kirk wants to ask for details of this plan, but Spock has already released him and is walking away. Jim sighs, knowing that Spock has his duties to perform; Jim can't expect him to spend all his time calming Jim down.
The blond slowly makes his way over to the meeting area Spock had indicated, but is distracted by what looks to be an epic cat fight in the making.
"Gaila and Uhura are standing together in a large group of students (their assignment group, Kirk guesses) and Gaila is all but screaming at a very subdued Uhura. The Orion's hands are tightly fisted at her side, like she is struggling not to lash out physically and her face is getting greener as she chews out her room mate. Jim hears only a few words, "sneaking snake…lousy, self-centred, rotten brat…ought to haul off and put my boot right up your…"
Uhura reaches out for Gaila's arm but the furious Orion slaps the human's hand away and storms off further into the crowd of cadets. Uhura follows seconds later.
"I suggest you stay away from that or you'll likely have your balls ripped from your body."
Kirk spins around to find McCoy looking at him with an over-exaggerated frightened expression. Jim doesn't think any of this is a joking matter.
"I didn't mean to cause a rift between the two of them. I would never..."
Kirk is cut off when McCoy waves his hand to silence his depressed-looking friend.
"You didn't do anything, Jim. Uhura did it all on her lonesome when she went snooping through Gaila's stuff to get dirt on you. Frankly, she deserves whatever Gaila does to her. I just hope I don't have to help hide the body."
His expression turns thoughtful.
"Of course, a phaser set on 'kill' doesn't leave a body…"
McCoy's hand begins its descent back to his side, but when Kirk goes to speak again, the hand rises again.
"You. Did. Nothing. Wrong! Now come on. Our group leader is about to give out our assignments."
The two men in red jog off to join their group.
}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{
After all the assignments are given, Kirk just wants to dig a hole and crawl into it and die slowly. No one has called his name; it's obvious that his probationary status has been logged and is going to deny him the opportunity to answer the call of duty—and worse, it will separate him from the man he loves.
'Oh, God, if I'd only known. That stupid test wasn't worth it. Spock was right; I should have just flunked gracefully. Maybe I can convince Bones to dump the dirt on top of my hole when I'm inside... nah, he'll just grumble about how he is a doctor and not a grounds keeper. Maybe Sulu will lend a hand. He does owe me. Or maybe Uhura would do it.' Jim brightens faintly. He knows Uhura would be happy to help.
Jim glances from the corner of his eye at his best friend. He knows it's wrong, especially since Bones is trying his best to be supportive, but Kirk is burning with jealousy over the fact that McCoy got the Enterprise.
'The man doesn't even like space and he gets to ride around through it with the best crew and in the most beautiful ship there is. Fuck my life.'
McCoy is staring at Jim in sympathy, but then the eye contact is cut when the doctor is tackled to the ground and embraced by his very happy Orion girlfriend.
"I got the Enterprise, Len! We are going to be serving on the same ship! Uhura will be too, but it's a big ship so I won't have to see her that much. We're gonna be together on the fleet's flagship, baby!"
Bones hurriedly pushes his girlfriend off him, gets to his feet and pulls Gaila up to stand next to him. She seems puzzled at his lack of enthusiasm until McCoy pointedly looks to Kirk and shakes his head.
Gaila's eyes widen in sudden comprehension, and she launches herself onto Kirk, giving him a comforting hug. Jim appreciates the effort but would much rather have Spock hugging him right now.
"Don't worry, Jimmy. We will find a way to get you on board. Maybe Len can inject you with a virus. You would have to come then because he's your doctor. It's regulation."
Kirk pulls away from her and glances at McCoy hopefully. The doctor seems to be in deep thought.
"She's right. You would have to come with me if you were sick. A new shipment of the Melvaran mud fleas' vaccination just arrived too. It would do the trick."
A throat clearing has all three cadets turning around to face Spock who has his eyebrows raised in obvious amusement as he catches Gaila and McCoy's attempt at scheming.
"As appealing as that prospect might be, that will not be necessary, Cadet McCoy. I have a plan that will allow Jim to board the Enterprise without anyone having to resort to deceit. Now, if you will excuse us, Jim and I have a shuttle to board."
Spock grabs Kirk by the hand and guides him away from the two gaping cadets and towards the senior officer's shuttle craft. Jim has just enough time to wave over his shoulder at his two friends, grateful that he's not going to have to endure one of Bones' hypos of death.
The scanning officer's eyes narrow on Kirk before he turns and addresses Spock.
"Cadet Kirk is not assigned to the Enterprise or any other vessel. Bringing him on-board is in violation of not one but three Starfleet regulations."
The man seems smug for a moment, but the expression drops from his face when Spock lifts one elegant eyebrow and frowns imposingly.
"That is true, but Federation law overrides any and all Starfleet regulations. I am assigned to the Enterprise and Federation Law states that Vulcans on active duty are permitted to travel with their bondmates. Since Cadet Kirk is my bondmate, he in fact has every right to board this vessel. Now step aside."
The suddenly very pale man salutes and quickly moves aside.
"As you were."
Spock guides Kirk through the hatch and to his seat.
Jim turns to the man, as he enters the shuttle, with a smug smirk.
"As YOU were."
Kirk and Spock take their seats in the crowded shuttle.
'I should always trust you, ashaya,'
Jim says this through the link, delighted and relieved.
Spock reassures him.
'I would not leave you behind, t'hy'la, not for Starfleet, not for anyone,'
The Vulcan turns solemn.
'However, you may wish I had, if what I suspect is true. I do not want you to be injured, or…' Spock cannot bring himself to complete that thought.
Under the shelter of the arm rest, Jim's hand finds his. 'I don't care,' he tells his love. 'Together, we'll find a way to get through this. And if we don't, I want to be with you. I don't want to live without you.'
'Your sentiments are mine, t'hy'la.'
Spock's hand caresses his.
}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{
The ride to the Enterprise is made in silence.
Spock silence is understandable. The shuttle is full of people who seem to have nothing better to do then watch them. The Vulcan obviously wants to wait until they are alone to speak verbally. He has been trying to reach Kirk through their bond but Jim has put most of his shields up.
Kirk needs to be alone in his head for a while. He doesn't want Spock to feel all of this negativity. Disappointment, shame, embarrassment, self-loathing are swirling through Jim's psyche. His mind is filled with these feelings and some he can't even begin to name. Kirk can't understand how everything went so wrong in such a short amount of time. He just wanted to prove that he would make an excellent captain, but now he may never even get the chance to work on a starship. He needed to be bonded to a Vulcan to even get on the shuttle. As dearly as he loves Spock, this is not how James T. Kirk had imagined his entrance into Starfleet.
'I'm a joke. I won't be surprised if Spock decides I'm not worth the effort and leaves me.'
Kirk doesn't notice the Vulcan's whole body stiffen next to him.
Once they enter the shuttle hanger of the Enterprise, Spock informs a yeoman on duty that he will go to his quarters to change and then report for duty on the Bridge.
Without even waiting for a reply, the Vulcan marches off with a helpless Kirk in tow.
Upon entering the XO's quarters, Kirk is instantly thrown against the nearest wall and the heated body of his Vulcan husband is pressed into his. Spock's mouth savagely attacks Kirk's in a demanding kiss. One of the Vulcan's hands grips Jim's blond hair and the other travels down to cup Kirk's immediate arousal through his pants.
'What the…ashaya, have you lost it?'
'Hush,' Spock replies, his palm rubbing Jim in a circular motion. Jim bucks against the warm hand, trying to gain more friction and lets out a deep moan into Spock's mouth when the hand squeezes.
The sound of a zipper opening has Kirk's eyes widening, but they soon roll back into his head when nimble fingers wrap around his erect penis and begins pumping him frantically. Jim winds his arms around Spock, letting one hand trail up the side of his bond mate's face until he reaches that delicious, pointed ear tip, which he gently tweaks in time with Spock's caressing fingers. Now it is Spock's turn to moan and shudder.
Spock's lips leave Kirk's mouth and he trails kisses down the human's flushed neck until he reaches the point where the shoulder and neck meet. He bites down hard enough to draw blood, his fingers tightening around Jim's aching flesh in a grip just short of pain. The heat and pressure do their job..
Jim shouts a mangled version of Spock's name as he comes into the Vulcan's hand. The blond slumps forward, allowing Spock to fully support his weight while he tries to regain his breathing.
Spock lifts his hand out of Kirk's briefs and glances at his bond mate.
"I need to clean myself. I will be back in 7.2 minutes. Please rest on the bed while I am gone."
Kirk nods dumbly as Spock disappears into the bathroom. Kirk zips himself up and makes himself comfortable on the regulation bed.
'Wow! I thought the beds in the dorms were hard. They were clouds compared to this bed.'
The hard mattress shifts as Spock, who is now dressed in science blue, sits down next to Kirk. He turns to his Vulcan husband and gives him a small kiss on the cheek, feeling Spock's arm curl around him comfortingly.
"Not that I am complaining, because believe me when I say that spontaneous hand jobs are right up there on my list of all things awesome, but what brought all that on?"
Spock takes Kirk's hand and presses a passionate Vulcan kiss to the palm of the human's cooler hand.
"During the trial and ship assignment I could sense your negative emotions that you were aiming at yourself. I tried to comfort you through our bond, but I found that many of your shields were in place. I did however hear the thought you entertained in the shuttle, your belief that I would leave you in the not too distant future."
Kirk eyes fall to his lap at this and his cheeks grow red. Spock's free hand gently lifts Jim's face to his.
"Since I could not comfort you and assure you of my love using traditional Vulcan methods, I decided to use more physical means to bring you pleasure and remind you that you are mine. I wanted to show you that I have no plans to ever let you go, Ashaya. Whatever has happened, whatever will happen, please believe that and trust my love for you. I cannot always show it, especially when others are around, but know it is always there."
Kirk's eyes meet his and Spock can see the beginning of a smile that has the potential of becoming brilliant.
"You definitely got me over my moment of weakness. It is amazing what love and a good hand job can do for a guy."
Jim eyes his handsome husband and his small smile transforms into a smirk.
"Maybe before you report for duty, I can return the favour."
Jim eyes twinkle as he spies the blush that begins to saturate Spock's cheeks and the tips of his pointed ears.
"There is no need. I managed to reach climax while pleasuring you."
Kirk doesn't understand how that could be when he hardly got to touch Spock, but then he feels Spock's fingers press a bit more firmly to his palm. Suddenly it all clicks.
'Gotta love Vulcans and their ridiculously sensitive hands.'
Spock nods even as his blush gets darker.
"Indeed."
Spock releases Kirk's hand and stands from the bed.
"I must now leave and report for duty. You may clean yourself and change into the regulation blacks that I left for you in the fresher."
Kirk chuckles at Spock's not-so-subtle hint that he is a mess and needs to do something about it.
"Okay... mother."
Spock's eyebrows nearly disappear past his hairline at the title his bond mate has given him.
"I am not even going to dignify that illogical statement with a response."
Kirk shrugs. He places his hands face down on the bed behind him and leans back.
"Since you are not a registered member of this crew, I suggest you stay within my quarters until I am off duty."
Spock brushes his fingertips against the meld points of Kirk's face. There is not enough contact to cause a meld, but it does have the bond humming in contentment.
Spock wrenches himself away and walks to the door. He opens it and then turns to his bond mate.
"I will be with you again in 8.2 hours. Contact my communicator if you require me."
Spock waits for Kirk acknowledgement and once he receives it, exits out into the hallway.
Kirk sits there on the bed in the empty room and stares at the now closed door. He glances about the room trying to find something that will take his attention away from his current thoughts, but it is no use. It seems his mind is already set.
"Fuck it!"
Kirk jumps of the bed and runs into the bathroom. He showers and changes in record time. Jim sprints for the door and it opens for him, but he hesitates at the threshold.
If he does this then he is sure to piss Spock off, but on the other hand, Spock only suggested that he stay in the room.
'Worse comes to worse, I'll just give Spock an apology blow job."
This thought actually gives his more of an incentive to go against Spock's request. Kirk steps out into the hall and releases a sigh of contentment.
He begins heading in the direction of the Bridge, but then thinks better of it. He instead starts towards Sickbay where he knows his best friend is stationed.
'I bet Bones is up for some company... and if he's not, well then that's too fucking bad.'
