Warning: Does the fact that I wrote this at way too early in the morning because I couldn't sleep count as a warning?
"You're such an idiot," Sulu said when they finally got back to Jim's room. Jim rolled his eyes and began removing his clothing. He winced when he tried to take his shirt off. "You could have died, you know. Forget bruises and cuts, what if you'd smacked your head on the rocks, or landed differently? But no, you're the great James T. Kirk, you can just go walking around wherever you please, cliffs be damned. For god's sake, couldn't you just ask for help with that?" He walked to where Jim was still struggling with his shirt.
"And interrupt your tirade? Have I ever told you how hot you are when you're yelling at me?" Jim smirked, kicking off his underwear now that he was free of his shirt.
"This isn't funny, Jim. You could have died, or been more seriously hurt!"
"Didn't stop you from coming down after me," Jim pointed out.
"Well I certainly wasn't going to just leave you down there," Sulu snapped.
"Kinda makes you as reckless as me, don't you think?"
"Hardly. At least I knew where I was going, having the advantage of actually having seen the cliff gives you the opportunity to not fall down it."
"Whatever," Jim sighed. "Are you going to lecture me all night, or are you going to take your clothes off?" Sulu let out a frustrated breath before kicking off his shoes angrily, followed by his shirt, which he threw to the floor and finally his pants and underwear. When he was devoid of all clothing, Jim walked up to him carefully and wrapped his arms around his waist. "I really am sorry, Hikaru. And I'm sorry that it worried you so much."
"Of course it worried me," Sulu sighed. "Watching you fall right off the edge... all I could think was that after all we've done, you'd finally be done in by a stupid fucking cliff."
"It's gonna take a lot more than that to take me down," Jim said, pulling Sulu in for a kiss that was returned softly.
"I certainly hope so," Sulu sighed into Jim's neck after they broke apart. They stood there, just holding each other for a while until Sulu realized that Jim's body had started to stiffen as he tried to hide the pain he was in. "C'mon," he said and gently guided Jim to the bed where he helped him settle in softly. He arranged Jim slightly before slipping his body gently over Jim's. "You should have let McCoy heal this up for you."
"What this?" Jim asked with a scoff. "I've been in fights where I came off worse than this."
"That somehow doesn't comfort me," Sulu responded and Jim laughed softly before wrapping his legs around Sulu, pulling him closer. Sulu went easily and leaned in to kiss Jim. He pulled away to look into Jim's eyes. "I could have lost you."
"But you didn't," Jim said. "I'm alright. I'm here, and I'm alright."
"Yeah," Sulu responded with a breath. "Yeah."
"Come here," Jim said, pulling Sulu's lips back onto his. They kissed for a long time until Sulu felt Jim hardening against him. Forgetting his own erection, he looked to Jim.
"We shouldn't, you're hurt."
"I'm fine," Jim insisted.
"You're not, I don't want to hurt you..."
"You won't hurt me. The cliff hurt me, but you won't hurt me."
"I don't know..."
"Hikaru. I'm fine," Jim said, reaching behind him to open the drawer to the bedside table to pull out the bottle of lubricant that he keeps there. He placed the bottle in Sulu's hand, pulling Sulu closer with his legs.
"You're sure?" Sulu asked hesitantly and Jim laughed.
"Just fuck me already," Jim said and Sulu couldn't help but laugh a little in return. He nodded and opened the bottle, slicking up his fingers before leaning down for another kiss, one hand reaching down. He slowly eased on finger in, then two, enjoying the way it made Jim gaps into their kiss. He scissored them around, slowly stretching Jim and seeking out his prostate. He knew he found the right bundle of nerves when Jim arched slightly, his breath hitching, and Sulu took the opportunity to add another finger.
"I'm ready," Jim said, panting slightly, his hips moving impatiently. Sulu didn't say anything, just nodded before picking the bottle of lube up again and coating himself with it before slowly lining himself up and slowly easing inside of Jim. They were both breathing heavily by time he was completely in. He stayed still, allowing Jim time to adjust, and he rested his forehead against Jim, his left hand anchoring him on the bed, his right grasping into Jim hair. Jim wrapped his hand on the back of Sulu's neck and pulled him in for another kiss. Neither of them wanted to rush anything, both of the enjoying the feeling of each other. only when it started to become uncomfortable did Jim allow their kiss to break as he moved his hips. "Move," he ordered, and Sulu obeyed.
He pulled out almost completely, Jim moaning as he felt Sulu moving inside him, before Sulu pushed back in gently. He set up a slow, even rhythm that he was sure Jim wouldn't have any trouble keeping in his injured state. Jim kept his left hand on the back of Sulu's neck, his right hand strewn lazily above his head, moving slightly to meet Sulu as he continued to move in and out of his body slowly.
Their breathing soon became more frantic as they started to move faster against each other and Sulu, still mindful of Jim's injuries, started to move faster. He reached his hand down to take Jim's erection, stroking it in rhythm with his thrusts and Jim's hand grasped into the sheets above his head. Sulu knew he was close when Jim's legs started tightening around him and his body started to become rigid. A few thrusts later and Jim was coming with a shout of Sulu's name. The added pressure around his cock and the sight of Jim coming was enough to push Sulu to orgasm and with a few more thrusts, he was coming deep inside of Jim. Making sure not to put too much of his weight on Jim, he anchored himself with his arms on either side of Jim and all but collapsed onto the body beneath him as he tried to regain his even breathing.
"Love you," Jim panted, his hands moving to cradle Sulu's body.
"Love you, too," Sulu said, leaning down to kiss Jim. When his breathing even slightly, not helped in the slightest by kissing Jim, Sulu gently eased himself out of Jim and maneuvered himself to Jim's side, careful of his injuries. Jim allowed Sulu to pull him into his arms and he snuggled his head onto Sulu's chest. They lay there for a long time, just listening to each other breath.
"I can't lose you, Jim," Sulu said suddenly.
"You won't. I'm not going anywhere."
"We both know you can't promise that," Sulu said as he wrapped his arms around Jim. "You could die on the next mission for all we know."
"So could you," Jim pointed out, snuggling into Sulu's chest. "I don't want to lose you, either."
"Then the only obvious solution is to leave Starfleet and live in a bubble," Sulu said, making Jim laugh.
"Yes, obviously."
"Promise me you'll be more careful," Sulu said seriously and Jim stopped laughing. He looked up and into Sulu's eyes.
"I promise," he said, leaning up to give him a small kiss before settling back into his chest. He closed his eyes and started to drift off to sleep, with Sulu softly twisting his finger in his curls. "I promise."
