Not Mine, Never Mine, Usual Disclaimers.
This chapter has been re-uploaded, thanks for pointing out that I used 'Phantom' instead of 'Fathom', spell check and three people missed this mistake before it was published, genuinely appreciated.
Kirk understood that the towel was meant to cool him off, which it did, and was vaguely annoyed that Spock and Uhura were arguing again. He was more annoyed that she was constantly trying to touch him, although he had to admit she smelled good, even better then Spock, not that he would even admit to the fact he thought Spock smelled good.
'So,' Uhura commented voice suddenly seductive, 'did you want to touch each other?'
'I cannot fathom a reason as to why the captain and I would want to touch each other,' Spock replied.
Kirk pulled a paw over his eyes, resting it on his muzzle in a puppy face-palm. He so did not want to see the look on Uhura's face right now. Jim heard Spock's door open and shut and he looked up to see Spock looking at him.
'I am unsure what she took to be offensive.'
Kirk puppy face-palmed again, for even with the gift of words Jim was unsure if he could explain to Spock what just happened.
'She asked a question, in which I answered fully; I cannot fathom why she would be upset.'
Kirk realised that this was Spock's way of asking him for help on the matter, so resorted to shaking his head. Spock's left eyebrow rose towards his hairline. Kirk pointed one paw at Spock, then pointed at himself then shook his head, slowly completing each movement. He kept repeating the action until the eyebrow sunk back into its proper position.
'Are you trying to tell me that she was inferring that she and I...'
They were interrupted by the door chiming, with Kirk giving a quick abrupt nod, which he was positive that Spock caught.
'Doctor,' Spock greeted.
Kirk sat back on his hunches, caught between curiosity as to why Bones was there and the need to hide from over enthusiastic doctors with hypos. Curiosity won out and Jim cautiously made his way out of the bathroom, poised to flee at a moment's notice should a hypo appear.
'Jim,' Bones greeted him, 'I need to run some more tests, unless of course you want to stay as a puppy?'
Jim cocked his head at his friends before retreating slowly backwards, he was not a lab rat damn it! Spock seemed to have picked up on his mood and interjected before there was an escape attempt.
'Mind if I watch?'
Bones looked at the half Vulcan as if sizing him up, 'Why would you want to come along?'
'I find the whole situation fascinating, plus I believe you are less likely to be dealing with a fugitive with my presence.'
Spock was giving him that look that promised trouble should Jim misbehave himself. Jim wouldn't have put it past Spock to lock him permanently in sickbay to teach him a lesson in looking after himself.
'Don't you want to spent time with Uhura?' Bones wheedled.
'I miss construed something she said earlier and is consequently she is rather upset with me.'
A/N: I just couldn't resist, it was going to end up in here somewhere. Sorry for the somewhat cliffhanger.
