Meaningful Silences 12/?
Rated: PG-13. May go up later depending on the direction the story takes.
Pairing: K/S (Although nothing explicit.)
A.N.: Takes place before and during 'The Search For Spock', May be somewhat inaccurate due to my foggy memories of the movie, but this was just banging around in my head. This is my first attempt at Star Trek fiction so any feedback is appreciated. Enjoy.
Sorry for the delay in updating, in case anyone is reading this. I had a bit of writer's block. Ah well… Here it is.
Vacation
As it turned out, Ambassador Sarek did indeed have influential friends at Starfleet Headquarters, for once the enterprise docked at Starbase 51 both Captain Kirk and Commander Spock were given a two month shore leave on Risa. The rest of the crew was allowed vacation time on Earth while the Enterprise was refitted from the last excursion. Kirk wanted McCoy to accompany them to Risa but the good doctor declined graciously.
"Come on, Jimmy. This time together will do you good." McCoy reassured Kirk.
"But he still doesn't remember anything. What if he has some type of relapse?" Jim questioned worriedly. "He just got through being reborn for god sake. Now you want him to go haring off with me to Risa?"
"He is in good shape physically." McCoy reminded him gently. "It's mentally you have to be on the look out for. But if you are that concerned I will only be a subspace channel away if there are any unforeseen problems."
"Okay Doctor. As long as you're sure it's safe for him to travel so soon."
"It is. Trust me Captain, this is just what the doctor ordered."
McCoy watched in amusement as Kirk walked briskly out of sickbay, none of his worry evident on his face. Kirk had perfected the 'Captain's Mask' years before and it was a select few who could hope to see through it. McCoy was one of two such people.
"If you two don't come back tighter than two pigs in a blanket, then I'm a monkey's uncle."

"What is the purpose of our stay on this planet, Captain?"
"For the third time Spock, when we are off-duty call me Jim. The purpose of this trip is to relax. Hopefully being around me and doing some of the things we usually do, you will begin to regain your lost memory." Kirk answered optimistically.
"Would it not be better to regain my memories on Vulcan, or at the least on the… Enterprise?" Spock questioned curiously.
"Undoubtedly better, but the Enterprise will be docked while undergoing a retrofit, so that option is unavailable, and Vulcan hasn't been your home in more than a decade if not longer." Kirk explained patiently. "As such, the closest thing you have to a comfort-zone is me, hence the trip to Risa."
"Fascinating." Spock commented raining an eyebrow as well, causing Kirk to snort before he got control of his laughter. This new Spock might think he was being laughed at.
"If you say so, Spock."
"We are close, yes?" Spock continued to question as they opened the door to their rather rustic cabin.
"You could say that."
"I believe I just did, Jim." Spock answered letting the unfamiliar name roll off his tongue.
"So you did. Yes, we've been friends for years. We're the best command team in Starfleet." Kirk told him, keeping his own newly discovered feelings from his mind as he squeezed Spock's shoulder in comfort, ignoring the intense gaze of his first officer as he did so. "Along with McCoy, we are good friends. Although your friendship with the good doctor is somewhat… argumentative at best."
With a nod of his head, Spock seemed to take the explanation at face value as he carried his bags further into the cabin. Kirk followed close behind breathing a sigh of relief as Spock turned his perceptive gaze away from him.
