Here is chapter 2! I felt some inspiration to write, and I'm really enjoying it. Hopefully, chapter 3 will be coming shortly.

Please leave a review and let me know what you think!

Also, once again no beta so pardon the errors.

Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Star Trek.

McCoy made it back to his quarters relieved that the first day of the semester was over. He some how managed to be late to every lecture; he cursed his luck. McCoy couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed at what occurred today. Maybe he felt stupid for feeling like a hormonal teenager in front of Lieutenant Chapel. Or maybe he felt annoyed by the fact that he couldn't stop thinking about her. The more he recalled the events in his mind the more pathetic he felt. He didn't say anything that made him feel ashamed, but the way she made him feel with just a few glances and a smile bothered him deeply. Even though he was angry when Chapel called him out in class, he actual admired that she stood her ground with him.

McCoy noticed that he was standing in front of his door. It slide open and he still saw Jim in the same position sleeping away.

"What an infant. Still passed out too"

He shook his head with disapproval. The man had practically been sleeping the whole day. McCoy went to his desk, grabbed the glass of bourbon, took a swig, walked over to Jim's sleeping form and poured it on his head.

Jim's eyes shot open and he let out a groan.

"What the hell? Bones! You could of woken me more gently. I thought you were a doctor or something. You could of given me a hypospray. Not bourbon to the face," Kirk tried to sit up quickly as he spoke," Ouch! My head it's pounding. You should take me to the hospital."

"Do you want to see how fast I can put you in a hospital? Stop whining. I'm the one who saved your ass from a seriously jealous man. Plus you would of been sleeping on the street the whole day if I didn't come for you."

Jim looked confused "The whole day?"

"Yeah, you missed the first day of classes," McCoy said bitterly.

"Well, everyone knows the first day you can skip anyways."

McCoy gave Kirk an unfazed look, "Yup, and how does becoming a captain in 3 years sound right about now? Oh, oh wait, I forgot you've been busy whoring around. Definitely the type of quality every captain in Starfleet should have."

Kirk made a fake wince that looked like he was physically in pain, "Ouch, you're really hurting my pride."

"Sure as hell I am."

"Bones, what's the deal? You seem to be brooding more than usual. There is something on your mind. I know it."

McCoy relaxed his shoulders as he let out a sigh. Jim was too intuitive for his liking. "Do you wonder how you made it back to the dorms?"

"Bones, you saved me, of course I know that."

"Well, getting you out of that situation cost me to be late to every damn class I had today."

"I see, but we both know that isn't the whole reason you're angry."

McCoy really hated to verbalize his deeper thoughts, but some how Jim was able to pull it out of him every time, "Fine. I met a woman she-"

Jim cut him off and gave him a knowing grin,"You want to sleep with her, don't you?"

McCoy felt angry, "Jim stop, I think you need to wait a moment for your blood to travel back up to your brain!"

"Alright, alright, alright, continue."

"She is actually an instructor."

He really regretted saying that and wanted to wipe that widening grin off Kirk's face.

"Bones, I like where you are going with this."

"It's not like that, Jim. I was late for her class and she reprimanded me for being late, and it makes me so irritated that her attractive face is still stuck in my head."

"Do you think she has a bad impression of you?"

"I think she did originally, but I talked to her after the lecture and she seemed impressed with my background. I guess she has even read some of my essays that I published a long time ago."

"Bones, that's great. She's a fan, use that to your advantage."

"No. I don't plan on doing anything about it. These emotions should leave soon. Besides, I would be breaking regulation if I were to do anything about it."

Jim snickered to himself, "That hasn't stopped me before. How old is she? Did you finally find yourself an attractive older woman?"

"Not at all. I know I'm older than her, but I know she is not as young as a cadet either."

"Wait, what is her name?"

"Christine Chapel."

Jim's eyes widened, "Wait, does she have blond hair?"

McCoy suddenly felt nervous, "Yes"

"Does she have blue eyes?"

"Yes."

"Is she a nurse?"

"Yes."

McCoy was not liking where this was going.

"Oh no, she is the older sister of Regina Chapel."

McCoy felt some relief but it was soon replaced with shock, "How do you know her younger sister?"

"What do you think, Bones?"

"You did not sleep with her little sister?"

"I was only 18 at the time, and I was always hanging around college campuses to meet new girls. I had a fling with her little sister who was going to the University of Iowa. One night I told Regina that I was not into committed relationships that I was sleeping with many other people at the time. I suggested that we end it, and I wasn't necessarily tact about it either.

I heard a knock on my door the next evening and Christine was at my doorstep. She just happened to be in town that weekend visiting her sister. She explained to me that I broke Regina's heart and that I was a predator hunting innocent girls and what not. I thought Christine was more attractive than her sister, so I suggested that we could have some 'fun.' Instead, she punched me in the nose and broke it! I still remember her cold blue eyes and the fury in her face. I don't think I have ever been so scared to see a pretty face like her's again."

McCoy couldn't help but laugh at the story and look on Jim's face, "Sounds like you deserved every bit of it. Finally, a woman with some sense."

Jim gave McCoy a frown, "She broke my nose!"

McCoy couldn't imagine a beautiful woman like Lieutenant Chapel making Jim cower in fear. He laughed some more, "Sound like I'll get along with her just fine. I guess her and I have more things in common now."

Jim gave a mock sense of betrayal, "You're siding with someone who broke my nose and scares the hell out of me?"

"Damn right."

"Either way don't tell her I'm your roommate."

"I can't keep promises."

Kirk gave him a weary look and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

McCoy was left to his own thoughts. He felt even more intrigued by this new insight. Of course, Jim would have some sort of connect to every female on this planet. He felt some small excitement at the though of figuring Christine out.

McCoy walked over to his desk and sat down to look at his PADDs. He noticed a small notification. He just remembered that he had volunteered to take the night shift in the ER at Starfleet hospital.

He sighed. McCoy had been trying for the past semester to get a job moonlighting as a doctor on the weekends. The Academy was against it, but he had been wanting to keep his skills sharp. After pestering them, the board finally agreed on one condition, that he would only volunteer to take shifts at the Starfleet hospital and that he could only do so 2 times a week. He wasn't necessarily happy about it but he couldn't complain if that was the best situation he could get. They kept insisting that he was a cadet and needed to spend more time in his studies, but then again he was older and had plenty of degrees under his belt. Going to the Academy for him was more about brushing up on xenophysiology than learning basic medical techniques.

He gathered his things up and changed out of his cadet uniform into a standard Starfleet medical uniform. He heard Jim walk in the room.

"What? Your leaving already?"

"I have to go cover a shift at the hospital tonight."

"I wish I would have known earlier that you wouldn't be here tonight. I would of already had plans, but I some how managed to sleep the whole day."

"Do whatever you want, Jim. I really don't care. I just need to make it to the hospital on time."

McCoy gathered his things and walked out the door.
