[Later Kirk would deny this conversation ever happened. And that he was clearly intoxicated.]

"Because I don't want to be the only half of a relationship that remembers it going to shit and it makes me so mad to think that someday I'm going to go back and it will be like nothing ever happened."

[Well now that was unexpected.]

Jim, what are you talking about?

[Jim shook his head slightly and wouldn't meet her eye. He'd always been shit about talking about his emotions.]

"Nothing. I'm just... forget I said anything."

[Placing her glass in a tree, she reached up to cup his cheeks in her hands.]

Jim. Talk to me. What happened?

spam!

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Jim still didn't look up and after a long pause when he finally started talking it was hardly above a whisper.] "We weren't boyfriends or any stupid shit like that. But--I don't know. He never said bye or anything and I just. I'm so mad at him for something he doesn't even remember so I can't hold it against him really."

[She wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug.] No, you can't. But it doesn't make it easier, does it?

spam!

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Jim nodded stiffly and didn't really return the hug. Not because he didn't want to but because he just struggled with his feelings and expressing them to people.]

"I feel like I don't really have my best friend anymore and that's the worse part."

[She stepped back and looked up to him.] You still have people here who care about you.

"I know. And I appreciate every single one of them. It's just different with Bones." [Because Bones was his first real friend and that's pretty special.]

[She put a hand to his cheek again, just for a moment and then started to walk again.]

I know it's not the same. Believe me. [She just wanted to tell him that it would be alright, but she knew that was a lie. She had been through this already...and it was hard.]

[Kirk stood there for a few seconds, just staring at the ground before he forced himself to take a deep breath, pick up his head and follow her.] "I would've punched Spock for you if I could've thought of a solid reason to do it."

spam!

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

[She just laughed softly and shook her head.] There's no reason to, Jim. Really. Spock didn't do anything wrong. [Well, sort of.]

spam!

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, whatever." [Kirk gave her a small smile.] "I'll find a reason to punch him someday. It's Spock."

[She stood on her toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Alcohol made her a little less wary of that.]

No, you won't. You focus on other things.

spam!

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"But it's way too easy to focus on ways to beat the shit out of Doctor McCoy."

[She shook her head.] Come on. I'm tired. Walk me back.

spam!

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Kirk slung an arm around her shoulders after turning back for the entrance of the CES.] "Thanks for humoring me."

spam!

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

[She shrugged one shoulder absently.] Thanks for telling me. [At least now she didn't seem crazy for feeling what she did.]
