He'd barely had time to squirm out of a weak half-hug from his commanding officer when the doors opened and a familiar blue-clad figure skidded to a halt just inside, instantly exuding nothing but tranquility when the captain limply waved.

He shot the newcomer a crooked grin. "Don't tell me you ran the whole way, Mr. Spock?"

"Hardly, Doctor," the Vulcan answered, unruffled. "Having been informed while in transit that the Captain appeared to be relatively unharmed, there would be no logic in such an impulsive action."

The door opened again, and a security guard poked his head in. "Sir, is everything all right? When we saw you flying down the corridor, we – Captain!" Eyes bulging, the young man completely missed the accusatory Glare-of-Death aimed at his head.

"Out," the Vulcan enunciated crisply, pointing.

Kirk smothered fragile laughter in his CMO's shoulder, and closed his eyes, glad to be home.
