“He’s waking up, Spock.”
Jim groaned as he heard voices around him. He put his hand up to his head.
“Easy, Jim. Don’t want you messing up that bandage.”
He frowned. “Bones?”
“That’s right. You’re okay, you’re in the medbay.” Bones paused. “Spock’s here.”
Jim opened his eyes to garish red. And pink. Balloons.
“What the hell?”
“It’s Valentine’s Day.“ Bones chuckled. “Your admirer sent presents.”
“Admirer?”
“You are confusing him, Doctor.”
Suddenly Spock was there by his side instead of the balloons. He smiled.
“Think he’s high on pain meds,” Bones cracked. “I’ll give you a few minutes with him.”
Spock took his hand. “T’hy’la.”
“Everything’s going to be okay, Spock.”
“I believe I am supposed to be saying that to you.” He put his hand on Jim’s cheek. “You take too many chances, Ashaya.”
“So do you,” Jim returned. “What happened?”
“You were shot and then you fell off a cliff. I nearly had a heart attack.”
“Sorry. You know I love you.”
“I love you, too, though I am uncertain what that has to do with anything.”
Spock gave him the perfect snooty Vulcan look.
“Well, in case you worried. With all my admirers,” Jim joked.
“I am not worried.” Spock kissed him. “I am the one who brought the balloons.”
Jim grinned. “You’re so romantic.”
Spock made a humphing sound and then Bones returned.
“All right, he needs rest, Spock, and so do you. And no I’m not pulling out a bed for you. In your quarters. See him again in the morning.”
“Bones is right, Spock. Go get some rest. And take care of my ship!” Jim called after his husband as he drifted off once more.

Yep – ditto with Kris. She covered all the bases.
Heart attack indeed and then bringing out all the big lovey names. Just in case Jim forgot when he hit the ground. They’re such a gorgeous pair!

I wish I could draw so I could draw Jim in a biobed, surrounded by balloons with Spock 🙂
