RPS Fic: On His Back 3/4 (Chris Pine/Karl Urban)
Title: On His Back 3/4
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Chris/Karl (slash), slight Chris/various
Summary: The rest of the cast just finds him so irresistible that self control and subtlety doesn’t seem to be in their vocabulary when he’s around. Chris is oblivious, either that or he’s just in denial. Or it may be entirely something else..
Warning:Slash and spoilers for the new movie. Mainly because it’s the only Star Trek movie/show I’ve ever seen (don't hurt me). Unbeta'd so mistakes are solely mine
Disclaimer: Not mine. They belong to themselves.
A/N: Waaaahh. I can't believe this is RPS. Anyway, so in the movie James T. Kirk seemed to be spending lotsa time lying on his back so it made me wonder what would it have been like for Chris Pine to shoot those scenes and here’s its product.
On His Back 3/4
Karl walks towards Zach’s trailer first thing on a Wednesday morning, set on talking to Zach about they’re aversion to Chris’ personal space. Only to find Chris already lurking by the trailer door, ears planted against it as if listening to something from the inside.
“Eavesdropping, are we?” He asks as he draws near.
Chris startles with a gasp then grabs Karl’s wrist and pulls him against the side of the trailer and hushes him. Chris points at the close door and gestures that he’s listening to something from inside. Just as Karl suspected.
Karl rolls his eyes and whispers, “If you wanna hear them clearly….” He says as he reaches up for the small window and very slowly slides it slightly open. Sure enough voices from inside the trailer flow out and they both listen in.
“…’coz I think he has been noticing.” Zach’s voice.
“Well, we weren’t really subtle.” John this time.
“He’ll get it sooner or later.” Yep, Zoe is in there, too.
“Maybe we need to up our game some more.”
“I’ve got an idea. Let’s get Simon or even -”
At that exact same moment, the door to Eric’s trailer opens and Karl has to pull Chris under Zach’s trailer to prevent them from getting caught. Chris tries to crawl back out but Karl holds firm.
“Lemme go, I have to know what they’re planning.”
“Are you kidding me? Eric’s out there. We have no business being here in the first place.” Karl says, exasperated. Well, he had business there but really not anymore.
“It’s a conspiracy.” Chris says the same thing on Karl’s mind.
“They were talking about you.” Karl tells the young man in a whisper.
“You think so, too?” Chris replies.
“Who else would it be? I mean, you have been noticing they’ve been acting weird.” Problem is, Karl’s been noticing, too. But, really. Can’t be him.
“Yeah.”
“What do you think they were planning?”
“I dunno, I gotta find out.” Chris moves to crawl out again but Karl pulls him back.
“And what if Eric sees you crawling out from under Zach’s trailer with me. Can you imagine what people will say?” In fact Karl can imagine what tabloids will say: ‘Aussie catches Kiwi smooching American boy under trailer.’ It sounds absolutely perverted. He knows it’s paranoia over getting caught kicking in. But getting caught eavesdropping on three cast mates or getting caught with one? Either way it wouldn’t really bode well.
“Stupid, Eric Bana.” Chris mumbles, defeated.
They wait as Eric comes down the trailer steps and proceeds to knock at Zach’s door. They hear a few words of greetings and watches as four sets of feet walk away to the general direction of the set. They clamor out carefully and brush themselves off, a feeling of intrigue and trepidation surrounding them.
-*********-
Karl has a foolproof plan. It’s simple. Since Simon Pegg is supposedly in Zoe and Company’s ‘plan’, all Chris has to do is to stay out of Simon’s way for the rest of the day. Then there wouldn’t be a reason for whatever Zoe and Co. had planned, to work. It isn’t really a hard task because Chris doesn’t have scenes with Simon for the rest of the week.
Nevertheless, Karl keeps watch.
He’s standing in the sidelines watching Eric and Chris battle it out in front of a green screen. Well, more like Eric beating Chris up in front of a green screen. He’s standing close to John, who has no business being on the set in the first place, wearing a knowing grin on his face, and watching the whole shoot unfold.
It takes Karl a split second to realize what was going on. And it’s a split second too late. Eric is straddling a struggling Chris while he pretends to choke the kid. Before JJ can even yell ‘cut’, Eric let’s go of Chris’ neck and slumps against Chris, effectively pinning him down on the floor. Eric’s arms come around under Chris’ body and squeezes Chris in what seems to be a very tight hug.
Chris has a bewildered look on his face and all Karl can do is shrug when startled blue eyes look at him. If the smirking John Cho next to him is any indication, it seems they should have been watching out for Eric the whole day instead of Simon.
He was the one the fantastic trio was last seen with.
It’s a surprise though, when John’s smirk turns into a frown and Karl checks back on the scene on the floor where Chris had apparently returned Eric’s tight hug by wrapping both arms and legs around Eric’s body.
Karl laughs at the look on John’s face and couldn’t resist taunting the other guy. It seems their plan didn’t work. In all those attempts at molesting Chris, the kid had only expressed surprise, never returned the affection.
Until now.
“What’s the matter?” He asks John, glancing long enough to find Eric and Chris no longer in an embrace. They both watch as Chris gives Eric a playful punch and Eric gives Chris enough room to sit up with Eric still slightly straddling him. “Did Zach forget Chris has a man crush on Eric Bana?” He asks John, this time he’s the one sporting the smirk.
John frowns some more and turns to leave, making Karl laugh as he hears the guy grumble, “Stupid, Eric Bana” before he's out of earshot.
Karl turns back to the two people still on the floor. Chris is laughing at what Eric is saying, the look between them so intensified it might as well be intimate and the grin on Karl’s face immediately disappears.
“Yeah. Stupid, Eric Bana.” He mutters glumly to himself.
