26 Times They Spoke in Anger
A/N: For the Ship Wars on LiveJournal, the most recent prompt was "In the Doghouse Again" which implied, of course, fighting. It made me consider what Jim and Spock might say to one another in anger. And although I wrote an entry for that Ship Wars prompt, I decided to try a "26" for anger. Let's see how it works out:
All right, Spock, we'll do it your way and hope all hell doesn't break loose.
Before you go, Captain, I believe it is in your best interest to reconsider your orders that I not beam down as well.
Careful, Spock, that is awfully close to insubordination.
Do you say these things on purpose to see if you can elicit a negative emotional response from me?
Essentially you're saying I should have never been made Captain and you would do a much better job.
From your reaction, I must surmise that you do not believe my statement to be entirely truthful.
Godammit, Spock, I had things under control before you came storming into the banquet hall.
How do you expect me to trust you when you refuse to tell me the truth concerning the extent of your injuries?
I will not be lectured to by you, Commander.
Jealousy makes you suspect betrayals where they do not exist.
Keep your nose out of my business or I swear I will break it.
Lower your voice, Captain, unless you want the entire ship to know you are this angry at me.
My reasons are not subject to your approval, Commander, and you'd do well to remember that in future.
No wise Captain makes decisions without the advice of those around him, sir.
Orders are non-negotiable, Commander, even those from your bondmate.
Perhaps you have failed to understand the degree to which you are wrong in this instance, Captain.
Quit second guessing me in front of my crew.
Reasonable people should be able to disagree without it denigrating into personal attacks.
Spock, you aren't the Captain and I would really appreciate it if you would remember that.
Trying to do as you ask has become more difficult with each passing day.
Unless you want to be brought up on charges, I suggest you follow my orders as I give them.
Very well, Captain, I will set aside my reservations and do as you have ordered.
Why is saying you're sorry so hard for you, Spock?
Xenobiology is not your area of expertise which is why I tried to warn you that the natives were not going to be receptive to our presence.
You don't need to remind me that I have screwed up again, thank you very much.
Zeroing-in on my traits of which you do not approve is not healthy for either of us.
