One of many possible tales that could be told about the past of the Enterprise crew members. I wanted to create a background for a fierce mirror McCoy and from their it involved into it's whole own thing. I hope you all enjoy. It starts with a slice for a rebellious younger Kirk and Bones.
Clever fox and Laughing Leo strolling through the wasteland,
grinning to and fro at what the other has to say.
Dreaming and scheming this and that,
and having such a grand time
Oo - De Lally, Oo de Lally, Golly, What a day.
Seemingly without a care, Kirk and Bones stroll through the Empire's wastelands. Walking along the roughly hacked paths through the badlands. They are both clad in a hodgepodge of leather, hand woven fabrics and military equipment stolen from Empire troops. Kirk is fully clothed while Bones wears trousers and a loose fitting sleeveless vest. Leonard dislikes anything that isn't loose fitting and often wears as little as possible.
Jim doesn't mind at all most times because this allows him to appreciate the sight of Leonard's muscles and heavily tattooed bare skin. Kirk loves the way the man effortlessly moves, his feline grace making the tattoos that adorn his skin dance. The designs consist of swirling patterns interspaced with all manner of beasts and flora. The two walk for time with nothing but the sound of their footsteps and forest around them both lost in thought. However when comes to these two the silence does not linger long.
"Was that awesome or what?" boasted Kirk smugly as he danced and bounced around his more sedate compatriot like a overeager puppy.
"Awesomely stupid, more like" scoffed Leo. Then for a varnish he adds a scoff and a eye roll for good measure.
"Ack you wound me Bones with your serrated words!" Kirk declares dramatically while pretending to be shot in the heart. He then proceeds to flop on the earthen ground and play possum.
Bones walked over to him, pausing in contemplation and then proceeded to none too gently nudge Jim in the ribs with his foot. " Up and at em ya Ding Dong." When Kirk still proceeds to play possum like champ, Bones makes a sound somewhere between a snort and a sigh. The man then with silent grace crouches down on his haunches next to James and looms over him for a bit more quietly.
Then abruptly he goes for the kill, large hands going to his friends sides, for they are most vulnerable to this kind of attack and tickles Kirk with practiced skill. All of James T. Kirk legendary potency is no match to his friends dexterous hands, his greatest weakness. In fact Kirk notes absentmindedly that many if not most of his weaknesses seem to start and end with the name Leonard H. McCoy. He can't help but find the man irresistible and hope the feeling is mutual.
Kirk makes and an embarrassing (but totally masculine) squeak in response to Bones tickle attack and curls to fruitilly try to shield his most ticklish areas. In no time Kirk is reduced to breathless laughing and writhing. "Uncle!"
Abruptly Leo stops tickling Jim and gets to his feet. He then proceeded to casually walk away, leaving a panting Kirk in the dust.
"Hey!" Protested Jim indignantly "wait up!"
Having caught up Jim and Bones are again walking side by side. Jim's gait is boisterous while Bone's projects an air of sedate resignation.
"But seriously did ya see his Excellency Marcus's face! When I made that shot epic shot that managed to only hit his belt buckle?" boasted Kirk grinning with wicked glee. " Who knew that such an esteemed military man wore silly underwear. It's my most epic distraction yet!"
Bones found he couldn't resist grinning as well nor hide his amusement at his friend’s antics. That James T. Kirk smile was going to be the death of him someday. The man's charm was simply irresistible. A siren's song so sweet that even the most stubborn of the beasts nor beings could not help but fall under it’s spell. Bones turned and realized Kirk and his dangerous blue eyes where far too close. Kirk was studying him with way too much curiosity and that simply wouldn't do. Leonard was a puzzle that refused to be solved. Leo felt himself blush in embarrassment. With a quick side step he reasserted a safe distance between them for his dignities sake.
"Hey what's that face about?"
"Nothing!" Said Leonard with more gruff attitude than was strictly needed.
The two continued to walk for awhile in silence, when Leo abruptly frowned. Ever in sync Kirk looked over at his friend with a silent question. Having gathered his thoughts, Leonard speaks his mind. "Jim, I know you love making a mockery of that awful man, as do I. However with low life brutes like our esteemed governor, you should never turn your back to them. You can’t underestimate a bastards like him. Types like Marcus will stop at nothing to get what they want. If they get their hands on any of us…especially you Jim…. Without you I’d.."
Jim interrupted bones with a finger to his lips, prompting Bones to re-establish eye contact "If they get their hands on any of us. Which is not gonna happen on my watch." Said Kirk with a fierce determined glint in his eye. Then unable to stay serious for long, "Ha! Let em come! I laugh at the face danger!" he guffawed. As if in answer to his declaration the bright red flash of disrupter blast barely missed Kirk singing his golden lock and destroying the vegetation behind the man.
