Authors Note: Hey guys! Its chapter 4 yaayyy! :D its like 1:00 in the morning right now, and its a school night whoops! :P but this stupid idea wouldn't get out of my head and i couldn't sleep. Anyway, sorry i left you hanging like that! But thats why i wanted to get this one out as soon as possible! :) this is a meant to be a filler, theres some cute stuff goin on in here, so hopefully that will make up for injured spock? this is the building friendship of spock and jim which evolves into...? you'll have to stick around and find out! :P but seriously, they are one of my favorite couples (and they aren't even a real couple theres something wrong with my brain!) anyway, i love this fic! I swear, this is better then everything else i wrote and deleted cause it sucked. You should see the rough draft for this! Its embarrassing. (p.s. i'm trying to start remembering to write disclaimers and stuff, if i forget i'm sorry, but you know all that stuffs) But yeah, enjoy! :D if you don't like slash or you aren't a fan of spirk please don't read this because thats where the story is heading.

Chapter rating: T-ish-ish :P

After doctor McCoy examined Spock, he went to the guest bedroom to lay down. Bones looked at the old man, he had bruises as well. t'jezt said that the men hurt him, and that they hurt Spock too. Jim heard and was surprised to hear that Spock lied to him, suddenly feeling very protective Jim walked to the spare bedroom to have a chat with him.

"Spock?" Jim said opening the door with a creak to see the thin Vulcan sitting on the bed, not mediating and not sleeping, just thinking.

"Captain" he acknowledged Jim, but refused to look at him. Jim walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge.

"Spock, why did you lie to me?" Jim said turning to face Spock.

" it was necessary captain"

"why?"

"i do not need you to take care of me, i am not a child"

"is that what this is about?" Jim laughed and Spock raised an eyebrow at him.

"this is not humorous im"

"Spock, I'm the captain. I'm suppose to look after my crew"

"and I'm not babysitting you, you are a big Vulcan you can take care of yourself, but i have a right to worry about you, don't i?"

"you have to tell me stuff, okay?"

"alright, captain. they beat me, then they put me in the small room with t'jezt" Jim cringed, he thought it was his fault that Spock got caught.

"what were you thinking? you could have at least pulled out your communicator and told me you were going to go do something stupid" Jim ran his hands over his face. at least he was alive.

"i did not think it was stupid, it was a flawless plan, i did not count on getting abducted" Jim scoffed, Spock was in the habit of getting himself hurt.

"how do you feel?" Jim asked, looking at Spock, his hair was dirty and so were his clothes.

Spock ignored the question, he didn't feel very well.

"you should go get washed up." Jim said, getting to his feet and walking towards the door.

"i expect an answer to that question Mr. Spock" he said, before closing the door behind him. Spock stared at the door for a moment, and then went to go take a shower.

"we should beam him back up to the ship" Bones offered, not wanting the Vulcan to go get himself hurt again.

"beam him back to where?"t'jezt asked. Jim ignored the question.

"no, i need him" Jim said pacing around.

"i mean, when we try to break the spell we might need his help" Jim corrected himself.

"why would you want to break the spell? they deserve it" beau said, setting down the tray she had, she put together a salad for them.

Jim looked at it, and immediately thought that Spock would eat something like this. Spock was a vegetarian, Jim was not. but Jim tried not to eat meat around him. he shrugged and put some salad in a bowl and started eating it, Bones' eyes widened

"Jim, you know that's a salad right?" Bones said looking at the salad and back at Jim. "yeah Bones, its a salad. you want some?" he handed a bowl to the good doctor, and Bones decided that having Spock around was definitely a good thing.

Spock came out short time later, his hair still slightly wet he towel dried it and sat down next to beau opposite to Jim.

"is that salad captain?" Spock asked, giving Jim a weird look.

"yes! yes for god sakes I'm eating a salad, what's so weird about that?" Bones smiled at Jim's hysterics.

"Spock, are you hungry?" beau asked, she hadn't seen him eat in a few days.

"no, thank you. i am not" he got off the couch to go get a glass of water.

beau leaned over the coffee table " he doesn't eat much, should i be worried?" beau asked Jim.

he smiled, he knew the Vulcan pretty well.

"no, its normal. but if it goes on too long, sometimes i make him eat something. oh and beau, did he tell you he's a vegetarian?"

"yes, he did. it was rather embarrassing actually, i asked if he would be kind enough to go fetch the meat from the freezer downstairs, he looked like he might throw up and told me he didn't eat meat" Jim laughed, which resulted in coughing he started choking on his salad, he recovered after a minute and Spock was just standing in the doorway watching the whole ordeal.

they were about to leave to go try out another of Jim's ideas, before bones pulled him aside "Jim, remember what i talked about? beam him back to the ship before he kills himself" Jim straightened up and went to go talk to Spock.

"Mr. Spock, i want you to beam back to the ship. your help is always needed, but you seem to be getting yourself in trouble lately."

"and after i told you not to!" Bones yelled from the living room. Jim smirked, it was nice that Bones was worried about him too.

"yes sir" Spock said, he was expecting a fight, Spock usually convinced Jim to let him stay with his stupid Vulcan logic. t'Jezt appeared a second later.

"are you going somewhere, Vulcan?"

"t'Jezt, how did you know that he was a Vulcan?" Jim asked, it was obvious to him, but the hekserij weren't exactly the brightest bunch.

"it is quite simple, his logic exceeds our own, the hekserij are... stupid. they would have not known how to escape the prisons of the nasumpa"

"yet you except me?"

"you saved my life." the old man grumbled, Spock thinking it was the right thing to do, hugged the old man and told him to go join the doctor. Jim was actually a little jealous, he didn't know why so he just shrugged it off.

"Captain, reverse the spell. and find the book." Spock said flipping open his communicator. Jim put a hand on the communicator "what book?" he asked. "the book which they live by, it is much like your bible. i do not know where it is located" "thanks Spock, Bones and i will beam back up within a few hours. we may need you later" Spock nodded " this is Mr. Spock, one to beam up" Jim smiled and walked back into the living room he looked over his shoulder to see Spock materializing. now he didn't have to worry about him. he began telling Bones about the book Spock was referring to and beau told them where it was. "where did Spock go?" beau asked. "he left, he had... business to attend to" Jim lied, did beau know he wasn't a hekserij?
