Chapter 8: Intermission
James Tiberius Kirk tried to recall the day when madness was not part of his daily calendar. Unfortunately, he really could not recall any because his life has been kind of interesting and weird ever since the day he was born.
Heck, it was a literal space madness happening the day he was born.
So let's just say that he's very used to all this stuff and he knows how to handle them. Until now that is because no matter how crazy things were for him in the past, nothing could prepare him for the (seemingly) perpetual insanity he had to endure ever since that unfortunate transporter incident.
Seriously, consider the facts:
1. He is currently sharing a damn (HOT) body with his First Officer
2. Said First Officer can read his mind but unfairly had properly shielded his own from Kirk's extra-sensory perception (hey Kirk was very gifted this way)
3. He had just returned from Bones' psyche examination with only a shred of dignity left
4. And most alarming of all; he actually just discovered some very disturbing things (regarding himself and Spock) from the dreaded session.
Damn Bones and his blasted Freudism or whatever it is called.
And to add salt to injury, Spock had been effectively ignoring him after he'd dropped his 'I'm still pre puberty guys' bombshell earlier.
Now really, Kirk had been thawing really hard at the damn-fricking wall the Vulcan had erected for himself for the past two days to no avail. He had tried to charm (not very successful where Spock is concern), bribe ('Illogical Captain') and threatened his way to get Spock to open up but success was limited and Kirk is well damn freaking tired.
After all, it was hard enough living in your own mind when you are a (almost) bona fide genius; sharing a mind with a (definite) genius who can shield thoughts can be pretty exhausting.
He sighed audibly and settled himself onto the bed when Spock refused to answer him yet again.
'Hey Spock,' he called.
No answer.
'How long are you planning on ignoring me?'
No answer.
[Seriously Spock, what are you twelve?]
He felt Spock's thoughts shifting around him. And then…
[You know absolutely well that I am significantly older than that Captain]
Ah, yes FINALLY the ice is broken.
Kirk grinned inwardly.
[So Spock, what are you so mad at me about?]
A pause.
[I am not angry at you Captain]
[Jim]
[I beg your pardon?]
[Spock, if we're going to be as close as we are now, you might as well call me Jim]
[But that is inappropriate Captain]
[Spock, we're off duty and stuff so just please, call me Jim]
Kirk felt Spock's thoughts shuffling uneasily around him.
It felt as if the Vulcan is confused and uncomfortable and Spock has never showed this side of him before.
Interesting.
'Spock,' he began patiently. 'Would it kill you to call me Jim?'
'No Cap…,' and the words trails off as Kirk send him a mental warning.
'It's Jim, Spock. Please.'
Wow Kirk…
That almost sounded like begging that was.
Hm.
Kirk could swear that he felt the Vulcan relaxed suddenly and Spock consented finally.
'Very well, Jim.'
Kirk grinned absolutely widely now. Inexplicably, it felt good having the Vulcan called him so. It seems so intimate and sweet and nice and…
Hang on.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?
Kirk immediately tried to think coherently.
Spock was back to shielding his thoughts.
Again.
Strange.
Why would Spock do that?
Kirk was just about to ask the Vulcan about it when suddenly without warning the doors to the quarters slid open…
To reveal Yeoman Janice Rand in all her blond-haired, big eyed and long legged glory.
Carrying a food tray.
Much to Kirk's annoyance.
And apparently, for some reason, Spock shared the same feelings too because the spike in anger registered higher than usual.
'It better be a full-blown invasion yeoman because I didn't hear you ring the ball,' Kirk said in his most 'I am the Captain fear me way'.
She had the decency to look shameful.
'I apologise Captain, but I am here to bring your dinner. I believe you haven't had any,' she said blinking her eyes more rapidly than usual.
Kirk eyed the yeoman as she went about her way setting the table with food.
Admittedly, Rand is a beautiful woman and she has always shown great interests in him (and who wouldn't fall for the great Captain Kirk? Oh yeah Uhura apparently but in his defence, they met when he was not yet a Captain).
Yet, while there exists a physical attraction towards her, he never felt anything more. Which is decidedly strange for him because he'd used to chase after anything with skirts with many successes (again bar Uhura) but ever since the Nero incident he has been very subdued in the courting department.
At least when it comes to courting women.
NOW WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?
Thankfully,the scent of roasted meat and potatoes wafted around the cabin and Kirk forgot his errant thoughts for a while.
Oddly, he was detecting a slight impatience that was not emitted by him.
Apparently, Rand had done setting the tables and is currently staring at him/Spock with a very enthusiastic demeanour.
Kirk felt his own annoyance crept up.
'Never seen a man before Yeoman?' he asked pointedly.
Rand blushed.
'I'm sorry Sir, or rather Sirs, I'm just finding the whole incident very er, well fascinating,' she said stammering slightly and blinking rapidly again.
'Well, yes thank you Yeoman. That is all. Dismissed,' Kirk said.
Janice didn't leave immediately.
As Kirk/Spock took a seat at the table she was still bustling around.
'Here Sir, I'll put the napkin for you,' she said as Kirk/Spock reached for the said item.
She had just put the napkin on Kirk/Spock' lap and was about to hover around some more when…
'Yeoman, that is sufficient. I believe the Captain has dismissed you earlier.'
Janice Rand froze.
For the voice was not Kirk's.
And as for the Captain, he is currently pondering the strange signal Spock is emitting through their mind link.
'Funny,' Kirk thought.
But it sure felt a lot like jealousy…
To Be Continued…
Whoops…did I make the dynamic duo too mean upon poor Janice? Well, since Janice does not appear in the 2009 movie, I'd have to steal her from TOS. And honestly, that is approximately 98.8 percent of the time how Kirk treated her in TOS.
So I'm not being mean! See?
Anyway, wonder what Spock is currently feeling eh, I haven't done any POV on his part. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Bloke's a bit of a mystery and I do like him that way.
So please please please REVIEW/CC/COMMENT!
