captain_jtkirk | .013 - lol he still didn't miss you Barge

I really am glad that you're back.

I'm glad to be back, actually.

[Read: He talked to Bones and Spock and it was weird and he didn't like it :c]

Come and see me when you can.

You wanna get a drink later tonight? I need to sort some stuff out with Shego.

Alright. Yeah. I'd like that.

Great. I'll see you later.

I'll see you there.

[So today had been weird, and a lot had happened in the few hours since he'd gotten back. Of course, he was most concerned about Shego's death and how that really had happened at a horrible time since he wasn't around to be there. And he couldn't help but to feel horribly guilty for that. He'd been in the pub for maybe ten minutes now and had barely touched the drink in front of him, just thinking.]

[Since they hadn't actually agreed on a time, she waited until what she thought was a decent time and headed down. Her first stop was the counter to grab a drink before heading over to sit down beside him.]

Hey. How's it going?

[Jim looked up when she sat down and pushed his drink off to the side a little bit.]

"It's going. Just trying to catch up with everything that's happened in the past ten days."

What else has happened? [She noticed him push his drink away and looked slightly puzzled by the action.]

[He's trying not to be a broody drunk, Uhura. Accept it. And also since he just came from Enterprise, he doesn't feel like drinking a whole lot. The responsibility is carrying over.]

"Shego beat the Joker unconscious. And then she died during the whole thing last week too."

And you're feeling guilty. [It wasn't a question.]

"I should've been here."

But you weren't. You can't fix that. [She took a small drink.]

"Doesn't make me any less responsible for her." [Kirk reached for his glass again but just so he could fiddle with it.] "I thought she'd be fine for a week."

You can't help what happens when you're not around, Jim. And you can't feel guilty for going.

"I don't regret it, Leia's happier now. But I shouldn't have left Shego alone."

[She reached over to put a hand on his.]

You can't make everyone happy at once, Jim.

[If she was looking carefully, she'd see that Jim smiled a tiny bit when she put her hand on his. And that was the only reaction he gave.]

"What if she hadn't come back? What if she'd just been lying around dead until I decided to come waltzing back in here?"

[Uhura shrugged and, having caught the small smile, didn't take her hand away.] You know that none of the other wardens would have allowed that, Jim. We would have petitioned to have her back.

"You shouldn't have to because I should be here. I'd bet anything that she was half convinced I wasn't coming back."

[She withdrew her hand.]

Jim, stop it.

[Jim immediately put his free hand in his hair and tugged at it.]

"Do you blame her for thinking that? Cause I sure as hell don't. It's frustrating but she has a reason."

Yeah. I do. Because you didn't do anything wrong, Jim. Nothing. [She finished her drink in one quick movement, frustrated.]
