.069 - this deserves to fail school

[Voice - there's a long pause at the beginning before Kirk starts talking. His voice is Very Carefully Controlled which means he's upset because his biffle is gone :c]

Doctor McCoy isn't on the Barge.

Just... for your reference.

[Another long, long pause and then Kirk cuts off the transmission. EVERYTHING FROM HERE ON OUT IS TEXT. But uh, feel free to spam harass him because lol he's probably drinking :|]

[Kirk sighed softly and reached up to touch her arm with one hand.]

"Why not?"

['Because I will miss you' did not seem the appropriate response, so she had to adjust her thinking. She did not pull away, however.]

Because you are needed here. The Admiral needs you. Shego needs you. Scotty needs you. Spock needs you. And...I need you.

"Don't give me that crap. Sixty percent of you belong on Enterprise too and the Admiral doesn't care about anybody."

[Though, he couldn't dispute the point about Shego. That was.. pretty much the whole reason he was here at all.]

[She did pull back at that.] No. I need to be here. For Paddy. Just as you need to be here for Shego. And Scotty for Mozenrath. And Spock for Dean. The Enterprise might be my home, but she is not where I, nor anyone else, need to be right now.

[Kirk snorted.] "I'm the captain. It's different."

[Uhura shook her head and returned to her spot, sitting on the bed.]

Jim, you miss him and it hurt you that he left.

That's all you need to admit.

[Kirk stared at her for more than a minute.]

"I'm going to punch him the next time I see him."

[She wanted to give up. She really did. Flopping back on his bed for just a moment, she stared up at the ceiling, annoyed.]

Because you miss him and he hurt you when he left.

"Why does it matter if I say it?"

Is it true? [She sat up again, leaning forward, resting her elbows on her knees.]

[Kirk was giving her that look he gave people when strangling or beating them wasn't a viable option but he was imagining it. Vividly.]

"Yes."

[She nodded.] That's all I needed to hear, Jim. And it's all you needed to do. [She stood up and again paced towards him, though she sat on his desk instead.]

I suppose you had other plans tonight, besides talking to me. So I should let you get to them, hm?

"I still don't get what you needed to hear it at all." [Kirk grumbled, watching her for a moment.]

"You promised me alcohol."

[She smiled sadly at him.] I wanted to know I wasn't alone. And you can come to the pub with me if you want. I would rather not drink in here.

I didn't know it was that important to you.

[Jim shrugged a little bit, running his hand over his hair agitatedly.] "Why can't we drink here?"

Because I don't...[She trailed off, not wanting to admit the truth. So she started again.]

You shouldn't be by yourself here with just me. You need to go out. Hear laughter.

"I hate laughter." [Kirk grumbled.] "And sunshine. And puppies."

[Oh yeah, Bones was taking care of Sam Winchester's dog and now that he was gone, that responsibility fell to Kirk. So there is a dog running around somewhere."

[Probably hiding under the bed....]

No. I am not drinking here alone with you.

[Or the dog was doing great battle with the tribble, little Spock Jr.] "Fine but I don't feel like going out right now."

[She waited a long moment, letting a stretch of silence pass between them as she debated. Finally, she decided that it would be better to let him choose what he needed from her, rather than her make the decision.]

Do you honestly want me to stay here? I will if you do, Jim.

[Jim didn't say anything for a long moment before he looked up at her.]

"You wanna play a game of chess or something?"

[Which is Kirk speak for, yes please stay.]

[How could she say no to that? She smiled and nodded.]

Of course, Jim. But you have to promise not to just let me win.

"I might be very great right now." [Kirk admitted as he got up to get the chessboard out of his closet.] "But I'll try really hard to kick your ass anyway."
