Doctor McCoy stood at the end of Spock's bed as he finished checking over Spock's scans.
"Well you're all good to go" McCoy nodded "in fact, as soon as you return to an adult, I'm going to logically prescribe some sunlight to you. I wouldn't be surprised if you're deficient in sunlight vitamins" McCoy put down his scanner expecting Spock to jump of the bed and run off, or something similar. The adult Spock did that. Sort of.
"Spock? You alright buddy?" McCoy asked as Spock laid back down on the bed "is there something wrong? Feeling sick?"
"As I'm already an adult anything I do is pointless. I have no point to studying, so, I'm just going to lay here."
"Spock" McCoy said gently "you can't just sleep for seventeen days."
"I can" Spock said.
"You barely sleep one day a week I highly doubt you're going to sleep seventeen days. You're supposed to have fun" McCoy said putting a comforting hand on Spock's wrist. Spock flinched him off. McCoy looked concerned, but Spock pretended as though he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.
"You're not supposed to touch vulcans." Spock said. McCoy sighed.
"And vulcans don't have fun." Spock said.
"Listen, I know you haven't really seen Jim a lot, but you two always used to be around each other. What if I go get him for you, you could talk, and learn about each other, so that wouldn't be waste. It's good for a commanding officer to work well with the Captain."
"No. I'm sure he has some work to do anyway."
"Spock. Come on now. Jim would love to spend time with you, he has some spare."
"It is pointless."
"You know, Jim plays chess with you, and you don't seem to think that's pointless."
Spock sat up with a squint "I play chess with him?"
"All the time."
"Why? Doesn't he lose?"
"Well that's a bit rude" McCoy scoffed "and I actually think you may be the one with the losing streak."
Spock frowned and sighed, and then looked back at his bed, and then back at McCoy.
"As an adult I loose at chess against a human?" Spock asked McCoy.
"Yes."
"That doesn't make sense, he's human." Spock said.
"Hey now. That's a bit rude, besides, your half-human too."
"But I'm half vulcan so I should be better."
"Well, that's just not how things work" McCoy said "you know what, why don't I arrange for you two to meet up? Yeah?"
Spock thought for a moment and then nodded "okay."
