( closed ) and I'm floating in the most peculiar way
WHO: James T. Kirk & Leonard McCoy
WHERE: Enterprise
WHEN: February 14th (+ another thread later on)
WHAT: Waking up with no power and zero gravity isn't their idea of fun.
WARNINGS: Nothing aside from Bones panicking and Jim hating himself a little later on. Possible mentions of death too.
When things actually started going down, Jim was too fast asleep to realize. Even the faint glow filtering through the windows as the nearest ship blew up wasn't enough to wake him, eyes shut for a while longer. The fifteen minutes of peace that followed would be the last bit of decent and unhindered rest he'd likely get in a while.
It started with a strange tingling sensation, at first. As the systems started malfunctioning, it was the engines shutting down completely and the whole ship going dead silent that had him waking up. His heart thrummed to the beat of the engines and the warp core, and suddenly everything felt... misaligned.
He nearly startled awake at that, shoving the blankets off of him in one sudden move as he got to his feet. Except his feet touched the ground for about a second or two before his whole body started to float, as if weightless, and the more he struggled to reach the ground, the farther away he got from it.
"What the fuck—" he looked over sharply, seeing Bones's silhouette starting to lift from the bed even in the dark of the room. Despite the evident lack of gravity, he tried to glide over to him. "Bones. Wake up, wake up— Bones!"

Tipping his head up as Jim stood up, he breathed in slowly. "You're welcome." It was so little a thing, Jim thanking him. But he meant the whole damn universe to him. So maybe, just maybe, when Jim pulled him to his feet, he suddenly leaned in and hugged him. And he didn't want to talk about how he once again caught the back of Jim's neck to push his head down just a little to return that kiss to his forehead lightly.
"Lead the way, captain." Letting him go, he let his hand slip away. If it wasn't in a professional manner, he knew how much that one simple title softened when he said it. How it sounded more like an endearment and not just some rank... and if it was in professional manner, god he new it came out with as much respect and admiration as he felt for the other man. Even when he was hoppin' mad at him for doing something stupid. But then, that's just how it was. It was one thing he didn't have to question, and he didn't plan to.

And he liked not feeling alone. He'd spent a good portion of his life feeling lonely enough as it was, he didn't want to feel that way again. The fact that it was Bones here with him of all people was of course an added bonus.
Settling a hand on the doctor's arm, he gave it a gentle squeeze and let go, smiling a little more reassuringly at him as this time he managed to get the door to open. Quickly he changed into a pair of pants and shirt resting on a chair nearby, then slipped on his boots, so he was a little more properly attired to run around the ship.
Once Bones was ready too, he headed out the door, so they could both sort out this mess and hopefully fix whatever was wrong with the ship.
