~Sorry its so short. Was a little tough to write~

"Jim! Now is not the time. We will kill him later, Pavel needs us right now." McCoy snapped at Kirk through barely controlled anger. It made me feel slightly better that the two of them wanted to go and kill Sulu for breaking my heart but wanted to comfort me first.

Kirk came quickly back to where I was sitting, wrapping his arms around my shoulders and rubbing my back gently. McCoy moved to kneel beside me, rubbing my back to. I was still sobbing quietly as I let them comfort me.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you Pavel, you didn't deserve to have this happen to you. You deserve so much more." McCoy whispered as he started to stroke my hair gently. I couldn't help but think that I must have deserved it to have the love of my life cheat on me like this. He must have seen those thoughts in my eyes somehow as I glanced up at him because he looked at me seriously. "I mean it kid. You don't deserve this. Don't let what Sulu did to you make you hate yourself. You are so much better than that."

I slowly stopped crying as my two father figures comforted me, helping to ease my heartache however minutely. I wasn't getting over it, especially not so soon but it felt nice to have a family to comfort me when I really needed it. It made me feel loved when I was thinking I didn't deserve it.

I glanced up at them, wiping at my eyes. "Thank you. Thank you so much Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy." I muttered quietly, sincerity coming though in my voice though. I could never thank them enough for being there for me, for caring about me.

Kirk gave a small smile and rolled his eyes doing what he did best to try to lighten my mood. "You can call me Jim, Pavel. I think we are close enough for that." I gave him a small smile that was tinged with sadness. Knowing they felt the same about me made this whole situation seem less hopeless.

McCoy smiled kindly at me, still running his fingers through my hair like a father would for a child having a nightmare. "And you can call me Leonard or Bones." I gave a quiet chuckle, still sad but much happier than I had thought I would ever be again.

Jim patted my back gently with a smile. "That's the Pavel I know and love. You'll get through this and we will help you." And I believed him, knowing they would be there to help me when I needed it. With that small hope came the numbness I was hoping would replace the crippling heartache.

I gave them a small, numb smile as I stood up, giving them both a tight hug. "Thank you both for being here for me." I muttered as I let them go. I was feeling numb enough that I could be alone without falling apart again; at least I hoped I was. Jim and Bones both gave me a small smile.

"We will always be here for you kid. Don't forget that." Bones reassured me quietly. I nodded, giving them both one last hug before leaving Jim's room. Once outside I headed straight towards my room, wanting nothing more than to collapse on my bed and hide from the world. I hoped that hiding would make what happened less real. I forgot that reminders of my heartbreak were hiding in wait for me in my room too.

I opened the door to my quarters and felt my heart break all over again. The room inside was set up for the night I had planned for Sulu and I, the night I had planned to finally take our relationship to the next level not just physically but emotionally. I was going to tell him I loved him for the first time since we got together.

I felt my heart shatter all over again as I fell to my knees with a sob. I did love him with all my heart and I was going to give him everything I was. He didn't love me though. He didn't care for me like I did him. I barely made it to my bed as I collapsed, sobs racking my body as I curled up in a ball.

I felt as if my life were falling apart. Little did I know Sulu's life was going to hell at that very moment. Bones and Jim waited for a minute after I left before storming to Sulu's room. Being the captain and CMO they needed no permission to enter his room. Jim threw the door open, startling the man in the bed. Sulu looked at the two men standing in his doorway with wide, panic stricken eyes.

Sulu pulled the covers over himself in pure panic, not knowing what was going on. "What's going on?!" He yelled. Jim didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and punched Sulu square across the face. Bones threw the next punch before Sulu could move to defend himself. It ended with Jim and Bones dragging Sulu down to the medical bay to be patched up because they had beaten him pretty bad. If I had known that they were doing that it would have made me feel better, if only briefly.
