Dinner with Paula had done a lot for getting Bones to a better place in his head - at least to a point where he knew that he wasn't going to get any better until he'd found out more about this fucking bond, and who better to ask than his 'bondmate', whatever the fuck that meant

Fuck, she was climbing on him. Kinda sweet, really. "Hey there, baby girl," he asked her, petting her under her chin. "What's wrong? You all alone here?"

[vulcans_purr]

"Hey, ouch. Ouch, watch it," he told her, gently pulling the claws out of his skin. "Don't be mad at me, I'm just here to talk to someone."

He stared back up at the door. "So, where's your owner?" he asked, taking a deep breath.

Bones looked back up at the door. No one here. He should go.

But the kitty was hungry.

Fuck it. And fuck Spock.

"Come on, baby girl," he told her, hooking her inside the crook of his arm as he stood. "You're coming with me."

[vulcans_purr]

{???}

{going where?}

mrrr?

{peer upwards}

{press in close}

[dctr_mccoy]

This was stupid, he knew that, but fuck, it wasn't even close to the stupidest thing he'd ever done. And there was no way he was gonna let fear or anything like that stop him from taking the cat.

Spock was going to flip once he realized the cat was gone, he thought as he tossed the cat gently in the passenger seat of the car. Backing up and heading back down the road, Bones decided he ought to leave a note or something, once he got back to town.

Maybe.

The trip back into town seemed shorter, like trips home always seem to do. The knot in his stomach was gone, knowing that the conversation with Spock was at least postponed a little longer.

Maybe having her with him calmed him a bit too. Maybe the idea that he'd taken something that belonged to Spock, childish as it was, pleased him inside. "Gonna stay with me a little bit. Jim's gone, so you can keep me company. I don't like being alone, not... not right now, anyway." He increased the speed as he moved out of the mountains and onto the straight roads of the highway toward Rau-Nol.

Maybe he'd be able to sleep tonight in their apartment. Another creature around, maybe that would help.

"..." Bones looked down at his lap, filled with kitten and hairball.

Fuck. Gross.

Still, she didn't look like she'd done it on purpose. And it wasn't the worst thing he'd had thrown up on him in his time as a doctor. "Almost there, little one, almost there." His hand rested on her back, and he pet her softly, the other hand gripping the wheel as they sped off toward the city.

[dctr_mccoy]

Hmm, maybe she was car-sick. Fuck, Bones didn't know enough about cat physiology to give her any of the medication that he had in his bag. Might be a good idea to take a class or two, he thought to himself as he rubbed the back of her head.

At the rate things were going, he ought to be verse in at least dogs and cats, basic medicine.

Eventually they hit the city, and Bones slowed the speed as they approached traffic. "Almost there," he told her. "Just a bit longer, then you'll have a big old apartment to throw up in."
