Author's Note: Welcome to Chapter 5. Please, enjoy your stay. (And my cheesey play on word meanings.)
There is no sex in this part! Only humor.
Pairing: Kirk/OFC, Kirk/Pike (sort of), Kirk/Spock (There is no pairing in this one. Only Kirk's Elbow/Sulu's face)
Rating: M for sexual situations and language
Disclaimer: By now you should know that I own nothing and I'm not making money off of this. If you don't, then you haven't been paying attention.
5. Jim learns that sex and fencing are, in fact, not as similar as he thought they were.
When Sulu asks Jim if he'll spar with him, Jim happily agrees. Sometimes there just isn't anything else to do (if you don't count paperwork and Jim doesn't). Besides, Sulu has been teaching him how to fence. He can get some practice in before they both need to be back on the bridge.
Sulu is very skilled. He's been doing this since he was ten (apparently). Jim really isn't a match for him, but he's trying. (No, really, he's trying. He's trying to put off that damn paperwork.) In the few weeks since the start of their little lessons, Jim has learned quite a bit. Sulu believes it's his teaching ability. Jim believes it's the fact that fencing is like sex and he's very good at sex.
He noticed it during the first lesson. Like sex, fencing revolves around the same basic movements. The fencer's skill comes not only from his ability to master these basic moves, but to use them in new and unexpected ways. That's really how he managed to learn so much so quickly.
Today Sulu surprises him. He parries Jim's thrust easily, does some sort of half spin and has his foil pressed to Jim's throat as well as his right hand in a death grip. Jim reacts. (What else is he supposed to do?) He slams his elbow back, hard, into Sulu's chest. As he stumbles back Jim raises a fist and lands a firm punch.
Sulu doesn't have any hard feelings. He even laughs about it when he wakes up and McCoy explains everything to him. That, however, does not stop him from letting the good doctor convince the captain he's dead. The look on Jim's face is priceless.
