My profound apologies for being so late in putting this up and replying to... well, everything. I've been both ill recently and overwhelmed with schoolwork; not the best combo. Just chucking this up quickly while I have a minute.

Sort-of Fill? 2/2

Somewhere in the very back of his brain, Jim loved these flights with Bones. Sure, he had to deal with vomit, and sometimes got covered in it. Sure, every other cadet on the ship ended up giving him and Bones dark looks before stumbling off to the bathroom. But these flights were the only time Bones stopped being a snarky bastard for more than a second, they were the only time Bones ever depended on him for anything, and they were the only time he got to see that shit-eating smile.

The shuttle shifted slightly, and Jim could feel the deceleration pulling at his body. Next to him, Bones breathed a sigh of relief. It took only a minute or two more before the craft stuttered to a stop.

While the other cadets raced to get off the craft (avoiding the half-full puke bucket at all costs), Jim sat quietly with Bones, waiting for his friend’s stomach to finally calm down. When it did, he gently took the empty bucket and set it on the seat, hovering protectively while Bones stood up and made his way to the exit.

Outside, Bones took a deep breath of fresh air. Jim patted him on the shoulder.

“Maybe next time we’ll make it through without the buckets.”

A corner of Bones’ mouth pulled downward. “Yeah, maybe.”

Jim patted him on the arm again, then grabbed his bag to leave.

“Hey, Jim?”

“Yeah?” he asked, holding McCoy’s bag out to him.

“Thanks.”

“No problem, buddy. That’s what friends are for.”

still non-OP

but I really, really liked this, lovely take on the prompt! I have issues with RL-puke but in fic, anytime xD
Also,

totally captures a huge and important aspect of that kink, imo.

OP loves you!

This is some awesome sexy hurt/comfort stuff here, so I don't mind one bit if the characters in the story itself don't realize how sexy it is. :) And somehow adorable too, you make me want to just hold on to Bones and cuddle him forever, poor guy. Also love that Jim's so matter-of-fact about the whole thing, messing with the other cadets a little... Considering he got dared to enlist while wasted in a bar, maybe he has some experience?

So in conclusion: You are awesome, this is great (especially for a first fic - congratulations!) and thank you so much! :)
