“Easier said than done,” he mutters. Bones is crashed on the couch now, a holovid on in the background and a PADD in his hands. Galena’s reading what ever’s on the screen, her chin resting on Bones’ shoulder. Judging by their expressions, it’s either a page of adorable fluffy kittens or a letter from Jo and Honor. Jim’s willing to put good money on that second option.
However, the minute Galena looks up she’s off the couch, running into Zeph to headbutt her when she lands on the floor. Jim just sighs when Zeph boffs her with a wing to the nose, earning a laugh out of Galena. Or a growl. It’s hard to tell. With both Galena and Bones, oddly enough.
“What was that sigh for?” Bones asks, looking up from the PADD to where Jim is standing forlornly in the middle of the room.
“Well-“ but he gets cut off when Galena happily brushes against his leg on her way back to the couch. He just sort of stares at her, his mouth hanging open. Bones’ expression is about the same, only he has the added benefit of the crazy eyebrows. And he’s gone a rather interesting shade of red. “That! That, right there. Oh my god.”
“Did you just -“ Bones is looking at Galena like she’s gone totally insane, and then back at Jim like he has no earthly clue what to do with him.
“Declare your undying love?” Galena suggests, giving Bones A Look.
“I don’t have any undying love!” Bones says, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“You guys totally do,” Zeph says from where she’s perched on the back of the couch. It’s starting to look just a little war torn for how often she uses it as a perch.
“Since when did you two become our own personal Greek chorus?” Jim groans, dropping down on the coffee table. Galena and Zeph share a look, but stay silent, instead choosing to curl up in their favorite position - one of Zeph’s wings draped over Galena’s back like a very feathery blanket.
“Fuck it,” Bones mutters, and he sits up, leaning forward so that he can grab Jim by the shoulders and drag him close enough to kiss. Jim makes a brief startled noise before reaching up to cup Bones’ face because fuck it would be the absolute appropriate way to define the moment. Amazing would also work very well.
Bones lets him climb into his lap, straddling his thighs, and they don’t break until they absolutely have to, when they’re panting, pressing their foreheads together.
“I suck at this,” Jim warns, and Bones just runs his hands up and down Jim’s sides.
“Hey, at least you’ve never been divorced,” Bones jokes, and Jim’s lips curve into a smile before he presses scatters of kisses into the corner of Bones’ lips and over his jaw and up to his ear.
“We can try,” Jim whispers, and Bones nods.
“We can certainly try,” Bones agrees, and they end up tangled together on the couch, one of Jim’s arms draped over Bones’ wide back, finally taking up Zeph and Galena’s job of sleeping curled together.

not OP, but someone filled the prompt!!! yes!! this was awesome. Looooooooove the fact that Bones' daemon is a lynx. Lynxes are oh so awesome animals. and i can just picture that annoyed, bored or amused look Bones would have on one! LOL
Re: filled - 3/3sangueukJune 26 2010, 11:27:46 UTC
This totally worked - my only wish is that it could be expanded; there's just so much potential to play with this idea, anon!
“Actually, the world has dropped a total hottie in your lap,” Gaila tells him. this made me snorfle, and this: “Since when did you two become our own personal Greek chorus?” - lovely writing!

OMGOMGOMG!!!! WHY IS THERE NOT MORE OF THIS?!!?!? Seriously this is like... my perfect world! I gotta admit it took me a while to get through the books no matter how interesting and philosophical it sorta was but I came out of it wishing I had a daemon SO BADLY!!!! AND THIS!
And something I've always wondered about this world - what if someone had an elephant daemon? I mean, it would be so awkward (pun intended with the whole 'elephant in the room saying') like... you couldn't go out in society because you wouldn't be able to fit in like... a shopping centre or anything. Or what if someone had an aquatic daemon, would they have to carry around a fishbowl with them everywhere they went?
THIS WAS AN AWESOME PROMPT ANON AND A TOTALLY AWESOME FILL!!! MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!!!

only skimmed 'HDM' but I took the idea of daemons and wanted one so bad... I even know mine would be a huge horse... *sigh* no Starfleet, seeing as how they weigh like a ton...
But that was like awesome.... and I really need my paid account so that I can make an icon of the daemons... that's how much I liked this... but you'll have to settle for the one I have.
