I feel like I don't update enough so here's a new chapter! This one's for Sonar, who gave me the idea. Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter!
McCoy was suspicious from the first sight he glimpsed of Jim Kirk that morning.
Jim was glancing left and right as if he didn't want to be seen. He was heading towards the quarters. Bones hoped he was just sneaking in some extra sleep, but doubted it since he was constantly reminding the idiot that not everyone could survive on as little sleep as the hobgoblin. Kirk seemed to be having a silent contest with his first officer as to who could sleep the least.
It didn't sit well with him and he decided to follow Jim. Kirk turned down one of the corridors at a brisk pace. Bones was too slow and the captain had already vanished from sight. He would have gone looking if one of the nurses hadn't requested his presence in the med bay for an injured engineer.
"Damn engineers," he muttered.
Bones saw Jim again when he was going to a science lab to check on some burns an officer received from a new species of plant. Jim was sneaking around again. His suspicious manner was only increased by the bottle of engine grease he was carrying.
"What the hell are you doing with that?" Bones asked.
"Bones! I was just taking it to Scotty," Jim stumbled over his words.
"That better be true. I don't want to see you taking up space in my sick bay because of a damn prank," Bones snapped.
He let Jim go. He strongly suspected the captain was lying but he figured he might as well let Jim do whatever the hell he wanted. He always did.
The third time McCoy ran into the idiot was on his way to lunch. He was starving and definitely not in the mood for Jim and his...activities, for want of a better word.
This time, Jim was tinkering with the doors. Bones knew for a fact that they weren't broken.
"What the hell Jim? They're not broken," he asked.
"Oh, hey Bones, they're a bit slow. I'm just fixing them. It's not a prank," Jim replied, a wide-eyed picture of innocence.
He'd obviously thought about his response first. There wasn't any hesitation, just a look on his face like he was remembering lines.
"Dammit Jim, if this is one of your pranks, I'll hypospray your ass."
I've run out of ideas, except for the last chapter. If you want more, please leave a prompt in your review. Thanks!
