"Ow!" Jim shouted clutching his cheek where Harry had slapped on a bandage. Said doctor huffed as he put away his supplies, muttering, "That's what you get for being reckless again idiot."
"I'm inclined to agree with Hadrian. It was illogical and unnecessary for you to accompany the landing party," Spock stated as he kept an eye on his captain. Jim sighed and threw his hands up dramatically, "It was a simple mission Spock! Explore and catalog the species of this M Class planet to find if it's truly inhabitable for humanoid species. How was I to know that one of the cute, bunny looking creatures was actually a vicious, carnivorous monster?"
Harry smirked at the mental image of Jim being attacked by a cute fluffy bunny with razor sharp teeth and snickered to himself finding it amusing. Spock gave him a look before continuing, "Be that as it may Jim, you must take more responsibility over your own physical health. You are the Captain of the Enterprise and as such, your safety is top priority."
Jim glared at Harry before sighing again and flopped back onto the bed knowing that neither Harry nor Bones would let him go early. And his chances of sneaking out were pretty much zero if his lover was going to hover over him as well. It was great to have people who cared about him, but dammit it was annoying at the same time! He pretty much raised himself since he was a kid.
"Spock's right about this Jim. You really need to start taking better care of yourself and refrain from going on so many landing parties. I know you feel responsible for the crew as their captain, but you also have to realize that you are important as well. Not just because you're captain, but because you're also a friend to many on this ship. Imagine how they'd react if you were severely injured or god forbid killed?" Harry spoke up having finished putting his supplies away.
Both Spock and Jim observed Harry although the wizard didn't notice the Vulcan's gaze, his own locked with Jim's. They saw the way his eyes flashed as he spoke about life and death, the bottle green seemingly to glow even brighter before dimming. Emotions swam within their depths mixing with lingering pain and wounds, scars from a clouded past. It made them wonder whom Harry had spoken similar words to or perhaps the words were spoken to him? Who did he lose? Whose death haunted him, a lingering memory to forever remain within his eyes and his heart?
"I'm sorry… I'll be more careful next time," Jim found himself promising. Not only to ease his lover who remained steady by his side, but for the doctor he had grown close to. He didn't want to be another person Harry lost, another scar on his heart. Harry nodded, offering a faint smile before Teddy rushed in with McCoy on his tail.
As Jim cradled the young boy, assuring him he was okay he once more glanced at Harry. His eyes were now focused on Teddy and the sadness was there, a dark and bitter feeling that marred his beautiful features. And it made Jim wonder, but he didn't ask. He wasn't sure he ever would.
