Jim was worried. And maybe a little scared. Maybe a lot scared.
He was lying in his bed. In a few hours his shift would start but he couldn’t sleep. He was sweating and his limbs were aching. And no matter in what position he rolled he just couldn’t get comfortable.
Bones was lying on his stomach, snoring away. Jim glared at him through the darkness for a moment. The old bastard could sleep through a Klingon-attack if he wanted.
After rolling around for another half hour Jim decided to get up. Who was he kidding; he would obviously not be getting any sleep that night. He was standing upright when a sharp pain in his abdomen made him fall to his knees and gasp for breath.
The pain didn’t go away or did it lessen. He reached over the bed and touched Bones’ arm. He couldn’t speak and just gripped Bones as tight as he could. Bones woke up immediately.
“Jim?” Bones wiped the sleep from his eyes and moved over to Jim’s side of the bed. “Jim, what’s wrong? Computer, lights.”
“I… Oh, God, it hurts.” Jim was red in the face and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Bones crouched in front of Jim.
“Where does it hurt?” Bones put one hand at the back of Jim’s head. Jim was squeezing his eyes shut and grinding on his teeth.
“Booones, it hurts. Everywhere.” Tears were starting to run down his cheeks but Jim couldn’t care less. He hurt so badly. He just wanted Bones to fix him.
“Okay. Lay down on the bed. I’ll take a look.” Bones moved as if to help Jim up but Jim just bent over more and held his arms around his stomach.
“Can’t. Hurts.”
Jim was still struggling to breathe properly and his vision was getting fuzzy.
Bones picked him up with one arm supporting his back and one under his knees. He laid Jim down on the bed and touched a hand to Jim’s forehead.
“You’re too warm.” He quickly got his medkit out of his closet and started rummaging in it for a hypospray.
Jim was choking on the bed. He couldn’t breathe anymore and the pain was overwhelming. He didn’t even feel it when Bones pressed the hypospray against his neck but the blackness was a welcome relief.

When Jim woke up again he was still lying in his bed. He felt cool and there was no pain anymore. He wondered if everything weren’t just a bad nightmare.
“How are you feeling?” He turned his head and saw Bones sitting on the other side of the bed with a PADD lying in front of him.
Jim blinked a couple times to get rid of the blurriness. Then he turned his head back and looked up at the ceiling. What the hell happened to him the previous night?
“Jim? Hey, talk to me.”
Jim looked at Bones again. “What happened to me last night?”
Bones sighed before answering.
“You remember the cuts you had on your chin and lip? From when Sarge attacked you?”
Jim reached for his face but didn’t feel anything. He did remember getting the cuts, though.
“In some way or another you got some of Sarge’s blood in your bloodstream. I don’t know how it happened. All I know is that the C24 connected with your DNA, developed and well… now you’re like me.”
“Like you?”
“Yes. Thank fuck, because if you turned out like Sarge I would’ve had to cut your head off and that, dear Jim, believe it or not, would surely have broken me for the last time.”
“I’m like you?”
“Yes. You now have super human strength, can heal instantly, can hear better, see better. You have a faster metabolism, stamina, the works.”
“Faster metabolism? I always wondered about your eating habits and good looking body.”
“Yeah well, it’s the price I pay,” Bones said with sarcasm.
Jim looked at him seriously then.
“Bones, what does this mean? For me.”
Bones took a deep breath while rubbing his hand over his face.
“You’ll probably live forever if not longer. And you’ll have to leave this ship at some point. You’ll have to watch your friends and family grow old and die. But you’ll be okay.”
“I will?” Jim asked with a small voice.
“Yeah, Jim. Because you’ll have me. And I will never let you go. Never.”
“You mean that Bones?”
“Jim. Jim, Jim, Jim. After all these years that we’ve known each other, you still question my love for you?”
Jim smiled at that. He had tears in his eyes although he wasn’t sure if it were tears of happiness or sadness.
“Thanks, Bones.”
Jim pushed himself into a sitting position then scooted over to Bones. Bones opened his arms and enveloped Jim in a tight hug.
“Anytime, kid. Anytime.”
THE END!!
