Nice to see you again, Captain [Jim and Bones]

When Leonard had suggested that he and Jim pretend to be strangers, he had meant it as a lark, just to get rid of the awkwardness that had seemed to follow them from the Mojave. But it had turned out to be a great idea, a way of seeing each other through fresh eyes. The Jim Kirk that he took to the movies and walked hand in hand back to his house

Leonard wanted to tell Jim that there wouldn't ever be anyone else in his bed like this, that Leonard would always ask, always want to know that Jim like it, that he felt loved and needed and cherished. But it was too soon for that kind of talk, probably, so he kept those words to himself. "You," he began instead. "I needed that, Jim. Needed you like that. Thank you," he told him, more kisses and soft touches.

Staring straight into Jim's eyes, he chuckled at Jim's words. There was nothing better than sharing laughter in bed, after the sex was over. "Oh, I heard plenty about you," he began, touching the strong muscle of Jim's arm. "But I had no idea..." Then Jim seemed to get a little serious, and Leonard started to worry until he heard the words, both spoken and unspoken. "Jim," he started, reaching out and covering Jim's hand with his own. His own heart burst, knowing that Jim loved him. And soon Jim would move his stuff into Leonard's house, the two of them starting a life together. "Nothing has ever mattered so much," he told him, meaning it.

Jim smiled as that hand covered his, the mood light and playful on the surface, but a world of affection and love underneath that made this morning that much more special. He lay next to Bones again, wrapping himself around him as those words sank in, making him all but glow with warmth. "That's good to hear," he admitted, aware that Bones knew him well and probably could guess how much it meant to him to hear those words, and the others that they left unsaid for now. It was enough that they knew they were there, for the moment.

He kissed Bones again, their legs tangling together beneath the covers as he snuggled close, enjoying the cozy intimacy of lying in bed together, laughing and talking. "I know I need a shower," he murmured, nuzzling against Bones. "But I don't think I'm ready to move quite yet. Unless you'd like to join me," he added, his thumb tracing over Bones' cheekbone. Another first.

Showering together, another intimate activity. Playful too, if he knew Jim Kirk, and Leonard was pretty sure no one knew him better. "I think we ought to, you know. Save water and all that." Jim's legs rubbled pleasantly against his, and then hands started roaming again, and Leonard finally pulled back, the widest smile on his face.

Time to start the day, a great and perfect day. Swinging his legs off the bed, Leonard stood, the crack in his back making him twinge. "Oooh, might need some hot water on that," he murmured, turning and pulling Jim up next to him. "I hope those legendary hands of yours can work out a knot I got back there, Captain," he told Jim, kissing him once more.

"It would be the responsible thing to do," Jim agreed, his eyes bright with humor. He leaned in to kiss Bones again, lingering against his mouth, and when Bones pulled back with that broad smile on his face Jim's heart squeezed tight in his chest.

"C'mon, then," he said as Bones hauled him to his feet. He laughed against Bones' lips as they kissed again, his hands sliding over that warm, broad back. "I've got just the thing for that knot of yours," Jim assured him as he pulled back. He took Bones by the arm and led him toward the bathroom. "I'll even feed you brunch after, how's that?"
