I do not freaking own Star Trek or its characters.


Chapter Seven: I'm Scared Now

"Good morning." I heard Spock mutter gently. I blinked my eyes open and smiled. We were face to face, cuddled close together.

"Mornin'" I whispered, kissing him softly.

"How was your sleep?"

"Peaceful, knowing that you were right here next to me." I replied, nuzzling his nose with mine. His lips twitched and he ducked in for another kiss.

"Good." He murmured against my lips.

"I had an idea." I said, referring to the whole damn Khan situation.

"Shall I instruct Uhura to notify the proper media channels?"

"I never should have given you that book of jokes, it was the worst idea I have ever had." I grumbled, tucking my head under his chin.

"Apart from your particular choice of hairstyle, Captain?" He responded. Oh god, what did I do?

"Do I have to withhold sex of any kind until you give me a straight answer?"

"Beings of a homosexual nature are unable to provide such answers."

"Spock!" I yelled, rolling over on to my back as he started to chuckle.

"That is my designated alias. Please do not overuse that title."

"Okay, you win, you're too quick for me." I groaned, rubbing my eyes. It was too early in the morning for this shit.

"That is what the female stated."

"I'm out!" I yelled, getting out of bed and looking for my clothing. I looked up to see Spock's lips twitching at the corners. "Spock. Where's my clothing?"

"They were in need of a wash so I put them in the laundry chute." He said, trying not to smile.

"Those were the only clothes I had." I said, feeling exposed.

"Indeed, and until I get around to washing them I suppose you shall have to go naked." He responded, tilting his head with a smirk.

"Son of a bitch." I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"It is impolite to speak of my mother in such a manner." He said, getting up. He looked down for a moment before blushing apple green and sitting back down, pulling the blankets over his lap.

"Morning wood, Spock?" I asked, smirking and slowly walking over to him.

"It would appear as though your naked appearance and waking up to your naked state has aroused me." He grumbled.

"So formal Spock, why don't you just ask me to relieve you?" I whispered, crawling on to his lap. He inhaled sharply before biting my shoulder.

"That would cause you pleasure, Captain, and I am trying to torture you." He responded. Bones was right. Evil, pointy eared, fucking hobgoblin. I pushed him down on to his back, biting his neck gently and earning myself a moan. I smirked, thinking back to our conversation in the hospital.

"What happened to wanting me to bite you being illogical?" I whispered in his ear before nibbling on the point.

"That was before I knew it would cause such pleasure." He grumbled. I leaned in, kissing his lips gently and relaxing. Sure, we were both naked, but it wasn't anything sexual. It was soft, loving and made my heart ache as we just laid there and kissed slowly and passionately.

The beeping of the comm made me groan and I got up enough to retrieve it, making sure video was off before I answered it.

"Yes?" I asked, going back to kissing Spock. To my surprise, and pleasure, he didn't stop me, only chuckling slightly before kissing me back.

"Do I want to know why you have video turned off?" Bones asked, his voice sounding slightly scared of the answer.

"Because me and Spock are having a naked make out session, want to join?" I said back. Spock pulled away from me, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Spock and I, Jim. And no, I most certainly don't want to join, and I most certainly do not want any more details. Just… Get dressed and get down here, we have the go ahead."

"I'm making out, can't it wait?" I growled, smashing my lips down on Spock's so suddenly that he didn't have a chance to hold back a rather loud moan of pleasure.

"Okay, finish whatever and get down here, I do not want to hear your pointy eared boyfriend moaning! Good. Bye." He yelled, causing me to go in to a laughing fit as I closed the comm and threw it on the bed.

"You still owe me a new comm." Spock pointed out, I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sure I can convince you to let me pay you in another manner." I whispered in his ear.

"What you did to Leonard was not very nice, Jim." Aaaand I see the make out session is over. Thank you Bones!

"Well, fine, we have to go, what the hell am I wearing?" I yelled sitting up.

"Why are you not talking to me?" Spock asked obliviously as he parked the car outside of the Starfleet Command building. I glared at him and opened the car door, getting out and slamming it.

"May I presume you are sexually frustrated that I would not continue to kiss you?" He said. A few people started to stare at the comment and I spun around and gave him a "What the fuck are you doing talking about that so openly in public you stupid Vulcan?!" face.

"No, you may not presume!" I yelled back, spinning around and stalking to the front door. A few people stopped and snickered at me and I glared at them.

"Oh… Is it because of the only attire I could find to fit you?"

"I hate you right now." I grumbled, grabbing my pass from my pocket and swiping it when prompted by the elevator. We were heading up to a classified area, it was needed to keep stragglers out.

"Jim-."

"Why the fuck do you even own this kind of shirt?" I yelled, spinning to look at him. I could see my reflection in the mirrored walls and honestly wanted to punch him. I saw hurt in his eyes and I realized I probably shouldn't have said that I hated him.

"It was what you would call a gag gift from Nyota." He said, lifting his eyebrow. "I apologize, I didn't think it would matter. Would you like my uniform jacket?"

"Don't worry about it…" I grumbled, feeling bad for exploding over such a small thing as a neon pink shirt with a kitten wearing sunglasses on it.

"If it elicits feelings such as hate towards me I will worry…" He said, looking away.

"Spock, I'm sorry, I don't hate you and you know it. I shouldn't have blurted that out." I grumbled, taking his hand in to mine.

"If you say so Captain." And he was shutting me out. I took my hand away as if he had burned me. The doors opened and I speed walked out, Uhura turning around and having to stifle her laughter. On second thought, I wanted to kill him for making me wear this god damn shirt.

Something wrapped around my shoulders and I looked over to see Spock in just his dress shirt. I huffed out a sigh and nodded my thanks before quickly buttoning it up. I swear, Uhura fucking pouted. Bones turned around from working on his padd and blinked, looking at the distance between me and Spock and the look on my face and his.

"Trouble in paradise?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Shut up. Let's just get this done." I growled.

"Alright, take off the jacket and the shirt, I'm going to make an incision and see if it affects you. We won't have the all clear from the new Admiral until we are sure it won't hurt you, but he seems pretty keen on getting rid of the bastard as well." Bones explained, standing up and motioning with his hand to fork over my clothing. I glared over at Spock as I undid his jacket and handed it back to him.

"And now I see why there is trouble in paradise, apparently the kitten has interfered!" Bones managed to say through his laughter.

"I will walk out now." I growled. "I will walk out now and never speak to you again."

"Loosen up." Uhura said, grabbing the hem of the shirt and shoving it up and over my head. I couldn't help but smirk at Spock when possessiveness flared in his eyes. Shove it and deal with it.

"Alright, tell me when you are ready and I'll make an incision." Bones said, rolling his eyes and preparing the scalpel that they had managed to rig in to the cryotube.

"Let's get this over with." I said, taking a stabling breath. I stood there, shirtless, waiting, but nothing happened. Five minutes passed after he had cut Khan and nothing happened to me. I let out my breath and ran a hand through my hair, stiffening when Uhura cried out.

Next thing I knew, Spock was snarling and there was a knife at my throat and an arm around my waist.

"Remove the knife and open my cryotube NOW!" Khan ordered. I swallowed gently, but the knife was held too tightly and I hissed as it cut skin.

"Release him now." Spock said, his phaser aimed at Khan's head. Hell, I didn't even notice him grab that this morning!

"How is this possible?" Nyota whispered, her hand twitching towards her own phaser.

"Grab it and I'll slit his pretty little throat, heal him just before death, and then do it all over again." He growled. "Now open my cryotube and release me."

"I don't care what the fuck happens to me, don't do it." I growled. I cried out as he bit in to my shoulder hard enough to break the skin, the blood trickling down.

"What's the matter, Captain? You enjoyed my biting you in our little dream." He said, flicking his tongue against my wound. I clenched my teeth and Spock's hand started to shake.

"Kill me and I will make sure that with my dying breath, it kills him too." Khan yelled when Bone's made a move. Suddenly, the skin above my heart sliced open, blood flowing out.

"Jesus, they're linked." Bones uttered, standing up and raising his hands.

"Not quite, doctor." Khan spat out. "I have a direct line to him through his blood, he is allowing me to manifest."

"If I could block it, I would you disgusting creep." I growled.

"None the less, you make this all possible, Captain. I should repay you, should I not?" He said, his lips brushing against my ear. I wanted to fucking retch as his hand slipped from my stomach and down my pants. Right here? He was going to molest me here in front of my boyfriend, his ex and my closest friend?!

"I apologize in advance Captain." Spock said, sounding strained. I didn't even get to open my mouth before his aim switched to behind him and he shot the cryotube beside Khan's.

"NO!" Khan yelled, throwing me to the ground, giving me a swift kick to the gut before launching himself at Spock. I was trying to regain my breath, my fear rising as Spock took a hit to the face and went down.

"You will not hurt him!" I yelled. Khan froze in place, his arm shaking as though he were being held by an invisible force.

"James, how are you doing that?" Uhura asked quietly, sinking down beside me to help me sit up.

"You said that your blood in my system gives you the ability to manifest through me?" I growled, shaking Uhura off as I seemed to leech strength from Khan. "Then I say, you will not hurt him, or anyone, I won't let you. I know how to stop you now and I am not afraid to die if it means taking you down with me you bastard."

"How very noble of you, Captain." He growled, lowering his fist as Spock stared at me as though I were someone he didn't know. Green blood was seeping slowly from a crack in his lip. My gaze whipped up to Khan and his eyes widened as his own lip split open.

"I will NOT stand by and watch you hurt the man I love." I snarled, stalking forward.

"Then I believe we should make a deal."

"What kind of deal?" I asked, glaring as he turned and tilted his head.

"Captain-!"

"You allow me to live in your mind, you obviously know you can control me." He smirked, cutting Spock off. There was a catch and I knew it but… I looked at Spock on the ground, then at Bones and Uhura. To save them…

"Captain, do not even consider his words!" Spock yelled.

"Than ri kroi nash-Spock." I said, slipping in to Vulcan. His eyes widened, I don't think he knew I could speak any other language.

"Du lav-tev-tor va-ashiv!" He yelled back.

"Kup-sarlah nas veh kup zhil k'ish." I whispered, looking away.

"Dungi-fam pak-tor du ashiv." He growled.

"Wani ra yana ro aisha, ni than ri kroi nash!" I yelled, meeting his eyes. His gaze softened and a look of pain crossed his face.

"Ang'jmizn-."

"Hiyet Spock!" I whispered, interrupting him. "Enough…"

"No, James, he's right!"

"Nyota, shut up!" I yelled, shooting her a glare. "This is my decision."

"I feel completely left out." Bones grumbled. I snickered and rolled my eyes before focusing my attention on Khan.

"In return, I am in complete control, and you will hurt no one." I growled.

"Deal." He growled, holding out his hand.

"Deal." I whispered, grabbing hold of it and falling to my knees as he disappeared and my wounds healed.

"Ra ki'du palikaya?" Spock whispered.
