Summary: McCoy’s Kirk’s wingman-whether he wants to be or not :):)
When Leonard McCoy returned to his office in sickbay, he was unsurprised to find Jim Kirk already waiting for him.
The doctor took one look at the forlorn expression on his best friend’s face and he was reaching for his illegal stash of Romulan ale.
McCoy poured each of them a healthy amount of the alcohol and it was only after Jim took a fortifying sip, that the doctor dared to speak. “Okay, Jim, spill. What happened with Spock?”
Jim shrugged his shoulders and muttered his reply into his glass.
McCoy leaned in before he spoke again. “Kid, you’re going to have to speak up. I didn’t quite catch that.”
Jim’s cheeks colored slightly before he sheepishly answered. “I haven’t actually spoken to Spock yet.”
He could see that Bones was winding up for an epic rant when Jim hurredly broke in. “What if he says no? Or what if he doesn’t say anything at all? Or what if…”
McCoy put his hand on Jim’s shoulder and shook it gently. “Don’t start counting your chickens before they hatch.” He smiled slightly at Jim’s confused look. “In other words, knock off all of the “what ifs” and actually talk to the man.”
He fixed Jim with a level look. “You won’t know if Spock wants a relationship with you unless you ask him outright.”
Jim nodded, his face full of uncertainty. He knew Bones was right, but a part of him was afraid to take the chance, not wanting to lose Spock’s friendship completely.
But on the other hand, fortune favored the bold.
He nodded once more to himself, but this time his face was full of determination. Jim was going to speak to Spock and he was going to make such a logical case for himself that Spock would have no choice but to be his.
