Chapter 10: C'est Pas Si Lion by The Bunny The Bear

Half an hour later we were seated in a buffet restaurant that served dishes from multiple planets. I stuck to the French fries and other unhealthy things. Although, Bones bitched and chewed until Spock grabbed some salad and put it on my plate.

Bones was seated across me, Spock beside me. Though after the shower he refused to touch me and slipped back in to his formal mode. He ate slowly, watching me from the corner of his eye. Actually, they were both watching me as though I were going to try and kill them at any moment. Not that I blame them, but it was really starting to creep me out. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and slammed my utensils down on the table, causing them both to jump.

"Okay, both of you can go screw yourselves right now if you don't stop staring at me." I growled, glaring at them both. Bones looked away ashamed while Spock just plain looked away. I get that it's what he's used to but does he have to close off from me whenever he's around other people? It's like he doesn't want anyone to know we're dating! Wait…. We never established whether or not we had gotten back together… SHIT!

Okay, calm down, I'm sure it's fine. Yeah I screwed up, I shouldn't have left that house and I definitely shouldn't have smashed that picture frame. My emotions were going haywire and I have no idea why. Okay, I have a pretty good theory that it's Khan fucking with me so that I fuck up my entire life but hey, I have no proof of that.

"Alright Jim, I'm not going to dance around it, you're a big boy." Bones said calmly. "Why can't you control him when you could before?"

"I don't know Bones, it's different. It's not like he's manifesting from my mind, he's in my body! He makes me black out while he goes around and kills people, and if I fight back and try to regain control I'm stuck watching as I…" I trailed off, feeling my nausea return. Spock put a stabling hand on my knee, pulling it away before I could latch on to it.

"Doctor, may I suggest that, since the Captain becomes ill whenever we discuss this, that we wait until after he's digested." Spock said. I scowled at him and he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Can you please just fucking stop calling me Captain and actually act like you love me?" I blurted out, already regretting my words as his form stiffened. His gaze turned downright hostile and it was his turn to put his utensils down.

"I was under the impression that when you smashed my picture and left that you were, as you would say, breaking up with me." He said, his voice strained.

"Should I ask for another table?" Bones said, fidgeting uncomfortably.

"No, just give me a minute." I said, turning back to Spock. "I'll buy you a new one, after all, that was cruel…"

"Indeed." He muttered, looking away. "However, I have already purchased a new, more durable frame."

"Spock, I'm sorry. I was hurt that you wouldn't talk to me after I saved your life and I took it out on you. And your freaking picture frame. Again, sorry."

"Okay, screw it. Spock, stop acting like you don't want to be with him and just kiss and make up already!" Bones said, pointing his fork at the seemingly amused Vulcan. "You freaking starved yourself and called me in the middle of the bloody night because you found Jim and didn't want to go alone!" I looked over in time to see Spock turn a bright green.

"Let's work this out." I whispered, reaching for his hand.

"Contrary to what Dr. McCoy has stated, you are under the impression that I want to work things out." He looked me straight in the eye with a glare. "Captain."

He pulled his hand away before I could even touch it and I stiffened completely. Damn… I fucked up real bad. How the hell do I fix this?

You don't. You don't need him, you have me. I can give you everything you desire and more. Khan whispered in my mind.

And what makes you think I would want you? I growled back. And since when are you trying to give me a choice? He didn't respond and I watched as Bones quickly grabbed his empty plate and ran over to the food. I turned back to Spock, giving him a hard look.

"Ashaya, it's impolite to play with people's emotions." I said, my voice void of all emotion.

"And when was I playing with them, Captain?" If he called me Captain one more time, I was going to throttle him. I grabbed his hand before he could withdraw and forced him to watch my memory of the shower earlier. He gripped on to my hand and looked over at Bones before pulling me to him and wrapping an arm around my waist. A small smirk formed on his face and I stared at him in astonishment.

"You were just trying to get Bones to leave, weren't you?" I accused, staring at him in disbelief. He started laughing, the sound lighting up his eyes and melting my heart. How could I have let myself hurt him?

"And perhaps I held a small grudge for my frame, James. But yes, I was attempting to make him leave, which you prevented." He said, raising my hand and brushing his lips against my knuckles.

"Had I known that's what you were trying, I would have told him to get lost." I grumbled, rubbing my thumb along his hand. He shuddered slightly and I leaned forward, pressing my lips gently to his cheek.

"Let me give you money for the frame. I feel horrible…" I whispered.

"That would be unnecessary." He replied, kissing my nose before pulling away slightly as Bones returned. "You can pay me back in other ways."

"On second thought, I preferred the fighting." He grumbled, sitting down as I grabbed the last fry and ate it. The salad was untouched.

"Must I force feed you?" Spock said, raising an eyebrow. I started to blush fiercely.

"We weren't actually figh-." I was cut off by Spock shoving a piece of lettuce in my mouth. I glared at him as I chewed.

"Alright, I'm confused. Are you two dating or not?" Bones asked, watching the interaction.

"I don't know, are we?" I asked hopefully. Spock didn't say anything for a moment and I felt my heart breaking.

"I thought that only people in relationships kiss. Was my intention not clear?" He asked,, his brows furrowing. He suddenly cried out as I pounced him to the ground. A few people started chuckling and staring as I buried my face in his neck.

"Ashaya?" He whispered, nuzzling me as I gripped him tighter. I was so fucking happy.

No! I heard Khan yell. I was suddenly on my feet and heading to the door. No, oh god no, not now!

"Jimbo, where are you going?" Bones called out. I reached the door, sending a cruel smile over my shoulder and Spock's expression changed from shock to rage.

"Khan!" he yelled out, jumping to his feet swiftly. I was out the door and in an ally way before he reached me.

"You have no idea how long I have waited to kill you with your lover's body and force him to watch." Khan said, grinning as he turned to face Spock. He froze for a minute before what happened dawned on him and he took a step back.

"This was a trap." Spock said, his stance tightening.

"I'm surprised you didn't clue in! But your James makes you lose all of your careful logic, doesn't he?" He pulled out a knife, flipping it open and admiring the gleam of silver. Where the hell did that knife come from! I never put that in my pocket!

"Let him go, don't make him watch. Kill me, do what you want to me, but don't make him watch." He said, taking a step forward.

"How noble." Khan said as I screamed and screamed for him to stop. "However, with you back in his life, he'll be able to protect himself from me taking over. So I need him broken and destroyed. Nothing personal… Oh wait, it is!" He yelled, lunging at him. I cried out but before Khan could reach him I felt the familiar sting of a hypo in my neck.

"Oh thank god." I whispered as I regained control of my body. I fell in to Spock's arms and he stumbled, kneeling down and holding me close.

"He'll lose consciousness in a few moments. Sorry Jim." Bones said, kneeling beside me.

"Jim." Spock whispered, stroking my face. I tried to smile, tried to say thank you, but my eyes were already slipping closed.

I groaned, feeling like my mouth was filled with cotton. My eyes flew open when my wrist wouldn't move to my face like I wanted them to. I pulled on it and then yelled out, realizing that my wrists and ankles were hand cuffed to the bed. Oh god, not again… Please, no more…

The door flew open and the figure came over, sitting on the bed beside me and stroking my face lovingly.

"Shh, it's okay, it's me." Spock muttered, leaning down and kissing my nose as I stopped thrashing. I felt like my heart was going to burst from my chest. I had been so scared.

"Spock, why am I restrained in my own bed?" I asked groggily as my eyes finally adjusted and I reckognized my room. I could barely make out his face but I could see the small frown that appeared.

"We brought you home and Dr. McCoy was concerned that Kahn would attempt to kill me, so he handcuffed you. I apologize, I was worried about you and wasn't thinking when I let him leave." Spock flushed slightly, looking away.

"Why, what's wrong with him leaving?" I asked, pulling myself up as much as I could.

"I can only release your feet as they are in straps… The keys are in his pocket." He muttered. I couldn't help but start laughing hysterically when I realized this meant I was going to be cuffed to my own bed for… Well, however long until Bones comes back.

"Alright, might as well at least undo my feet so I can stretch." I said when I calmed down.

"Lights dim." He said, the lights slowly rising just enough to be able to see each other. He had a smile on his face as he leaned over and started undoing the straps. His ass was quite nicely presented and I couldn't help but stare.

"James." I heard him say, amusement in his voice. I looked over and started blushing when I saw his smirk. Awe crap, I got caught.

My breath hitched when he got a look in his eyes and climbed in between my legs until he was against me, his lips an inch from my ear. His breath came out softly and I pulled on the handcuffs, biting my lip to suppress a moan when he chuckled.

"Were you staring at my ass, James?" He whispered gently.

"It's a nice ass." I replied, my voice strained as his hand started slipping up my shirt. The bite of the hand cuffs brought unwanted images to my mind and he froze, obviously seeing them through his contact with my skin.

"James, he has power over you because you were unhappy." He said, pulling away so he was looking in to my eyes. "Let me take that power away from him. Let me show you how making love to someone who is bound should be like."

I inhaled sharply as his forehead leaned against mine. His eyes were pleading with me and I took another stabling breath before giving him a quick nod.
