Summary: Lately Jim always seems to have a headache when Leonard makes certain suggestions.
Note: For secretsolitaire who asked for Kirk/McCoy, "headache".
"Not tonight, Bones. I have a headache." Jim rubbed his temple.
Leonard looked at him with concern. "That's three nights in a row you've said that your head hurts. Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, I have a headache," Jim snapped. Immediately his attitude softened. "I'm sorry. It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that I..."
"... have a headache," Leonard finished with him. "You haven't been exposed to any strange new life forms recently, and there's no illness running through the crew that I'm aware of. I think I'd better take you down to sick bay for a diagnostic. Any other symptoms? Have you been doing anything different from usual lately?"
"Nothing that I can think of," answered Jim at last, when Leonard had him on the examining table. "I've been working on the annual reports for Starfleet, that's all."
"Uh-huh." Leonard scanned Jim, poked and prodded him in various places, and made him follow a light with his eyes. "I diagnose eyestrain. Damn. You can't take implants, can you? I'll have a talk with Scotty; there must be some way he can jimmy up the replicator to make you some eyeglasses."
"If you must," sighed Jim. Leonard was standing too conveniently close to resist, and his head did feel better...
Jim hooked his ankles around the other man's waist. "Since we're here, though, and that headache has receded some... could I interest you in playing doctor?"
"Always," said Leonard.
