WHO: Bones and Kirk
WHAT: Aftermath
WHEN: The day after the party
WHERE: Bones' room to start, who knows after that?
WARNINGS: TBA
STATUS: Incomplete

He couldn't quite seem to remember how he'd gotten back to his room. Or even, at first, what had happened last night. Which turned out to be a mercy, he realized, as his temporary, morning induced amnesia died off. Because the previous night had been pretty much the oddest experience of his life, and that was saying something. Actually, it would be better if he could have forgotten. He was going to get his ass kicked... or, more likely, and far more terrifying, he was going to lose the best friend he'd ever had over a stupid costume ball. He was really starting to hate this place. Back home, he was fairly certain this wouldn't have happened.

Although, he wasn't quite clear on what had happened. One moment, he'd been heading toward the educational buildings, the next he'd been some sort of... cowboy? With a gun, of all things. A gun. Not a gun with a stun setting, either, but an honest to god, old fashioned rifle with bullets or anything. People could get hurt with those things. But he could remember waving one around like no one's business. It was enough to make him absolutely disgusted with himself. But it was like he hadn't been himself, only he had, at the same time. How had it been done? Had he been drugged? Maybe something in the air that had made him feel like someone else entirely? He hadn't noticed anything, but there was no doubt his behavior had been bizarre.

Only, that wouldn't account for the fact that Jim had been... no matter how drugged he would get, he was sure he wouldn't think of his best friend as a girl. That just wouldn't happen. There was nothing feminine about Jim. Which led to the question, which he clung to almost desperately. Maybe it had all been a dream? That felt comforting to him. It would raise questions in his own mind about his sanity, but at least then he would have to face the fact that his best friend had turned into a girl. And then, he'd kissed her. Jane, Jim... Kirk... damn it. He was going to drive himself insane over this. If he wasn't already insane, which, at this point, wasn't entirely unlikely.

He couldn't seem to decide what to do. Should he go talk to his best friend? But, suddenly, he was too much of a coward to do so. Maybe it had been a dream, and that seemed like the option that made the most sense. But what if it wasn't? So he tossed it around in his mind, first deciding he had to go to talk to Kirk, and then immediately deciding he couldn't possibly do so. It was going to be too embarassing, and he didn't know how to face his best friend, not after how he'd acted the previous night.

It was always interesting the way Bones behaved around Jim. He realized it, too, but it wasn't something he thought about much, he just did it. Sometimes he was snarky, sarcastic, grumpy, but every so often, when Jim really needed him, he could be affectionate, even cuddly. This was one of those times. When the younger man rested his head on his shoulder, he wrapped one arm around his waist, put the other hand encouragingly on the back of his head, holding him close against him and listening. After all, the man didn't normally speak about his past in any sort of detail, so he wanted to encourage him to do so now.

"Keep you? Hell, Jim, try to get away from me." His voice was a little softer than usual, too. He smirked slightly, though, at the mention of how he would likely propose. He knew that his best friend was right, he probably would be more likely to do things that way than a formal, romantic proposal. It was just his style, probably having to do with his failed marriage from before. Taking risks wasn't something that came easily, the whole once bitten, twice shy thing. But this thing that as happening with Jim was far too important to him to risk it.

When Jim pulled away, Bones grabbed his wrist and pulled him close, kissing him briefly, softly, before letting him rise. Hey, he was allowed to do stuff like that now, right? Instead of just thinking about it, like he had so many times. "If we're both trying, then hell, we'll do it. We're too stubborn not to." He also rose, staightening his uniform shirt, and nodded. "Yeah, we should do that." It had been bothering him, but this other thing had seemed more important to him. Still, now was a good time. He set Jim's shirt aside, and then took his scanner off the table, readying it. "On the bed is probably best, Jim."

Bones had the oddest affect on him. Normally he would've fought against that little show of affection. He would've wrenched his arm away and avoided the kiss at all costs. It was too sweet, too tender, too... loving but it came from Bones and, god help him, Bones made him want these things. He wanted sweet and tender and loving. He wanted to be taken care of and looked after. He wanted to be told he was loved. Pulling back from the kiss Jim smiled sweetly. "I think you're on to something. You and I are way too stubborn to let anything fail."

Slipping his pants off he tossed those to the side before crawling onto the bed. "Last time I think we agreed you owed me a date before I took my clothes off for you." He teased as he turned over to lay on the bed and stared up at Bones. "I think I'll let it slide this time. We can count our time at the party as a date of sorts... even if I was a girl at the time and we just sorta ended up getting together and making a mess out of things." He fell silent for a moment before reaching out to tug at Bones' shirt. "So... did you think I was an attractive girl. I didn't look anything like my mother did I? Do you know what my mother looks like... did girl me talk half as much as I do?"

He was excited, that was the only reasonable explanation he could think of for the rapid fire questions and rambling statesments. He'd never been in a relationship before and he'd wanted Bones for awhile. To suddenly have both made him feel oddly giddy and excited. It was hard to keep quiet... or still. In his opinion, however, Bones was just lucky he was laying still and allowing the older man to look him over without trying anything. Bones probably wouldn't be free of his charms for too long. The minute the medical tricorder was gone the older man was going to find himself tugged to the bed and against Jim. "You know..." he murmured, "You could just check me out the old fashioned way... the exploratory, hands and mouth way."

As always, there was that little spark of interest in his dark eyes before the doctor mode mask slid firmly into place. This time, though, it seemed to shine a little brighter and last a little longer. Things had definitely changed between them, and more than just a little. He chuckled softly at Jim's agreement of the stubbornness issue, and then waited for the younger man to climb onto the bed.

"Yeah, you got your damn date. And there'll be enough time for that hands on approach later. Now hold still." He pressed a couple of buttons and then scanned him quickly, expertly. He might not like most technology, but there was no doubt this made things go faster. When it was over, he peered at the results and then put the device back on the table. "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with you that wasn't wrong before. Looks like His Majesty put you back in working order."

With that done, the doctor looked down thoughtfully at the younger man. "You were pretty. And more shy, proper. I like you better this way." Of course, Jane had gone better with the cowboy. It had worked at the time, but he wasn't sure that he'd have much use for Jane. Who could tell, though?

Crossing his arms over his chest Jim huffed just a little as pouted. "You know... my way is a lot more fun." It wasn't as fast or probably as thorough. The medical tricorder was a lot faster and could give Bones readings of things he couldn't see or feel himself. With that in mind Jim finally dropped his arms and remained perfectly still until Bones was through with the scan.

"If I were you I'd be glad he put me back in working order... even if he didn't do you any favors by leaving me with my allergies to nearly every medication known to man and a few other things." He nodded and sat up. "I wasn't so worried though, you know. And I hadn't even thought about it or worried about what could've happened until I got in here and you went all doctor on me. Then I started wondering if he forgot to put something back in place or forgot to take something out." So maybe this was a relief for him too.

Deciding it was best to forget about everything that could've gone wrong he turned his full attention back towards the older man. "Shy and proper? You mean boring. I've always figured that a girl me would be a little bit of a floozy. You sure she didn't secretly work at a brothel?" He laughed and shook his head. "No, I remember bits and pieces of being her. She was proper but she was so damn into you... or cowboy you. If the cowboy had been a little more encouraging and a little less proper he probably would've gotten laid." Jim teased as he stood up and stretched. "You treated her a hell of a lot more delicately than you've ever treated me."

Reaching out he gently grabbed ahold of Bones' wrist and tugged him forward. "You held her. I might want to be held. I want to be kissed and touched, I'm sure of that. I think I want to be held too though." He shrugged and pressed a kiss to Bones' cheek before releasing his wrist and stepping away.

Bones smirked slightly as he set the tricorder down, and gave a little shrug. "We'll try your way next." He let doctor mode slip away, and yes, it was a little more quickly than usual, but then he definitely had some motivation for doing so. It wasn't exactly normal for him, after all, to have a patient, like Jim, that he very much wanted to kiss. Now, he got the idea he was allowed to, and that made the doctor mode slip away much faster than usual.

"Yeah, bastard could have at least gotten rid of the allergies." But, though Bones grumbled, he didn't mind. The allergies were part of Jim, and he loved his best friend desperately. "Oh well. You keep me busy, anyway." He reached out, gently touched the younger man's cheek as he was pulled closer. So many times, he'd wanted to do things like that, but he'd never allowed himself to really even think about it before.

"Nah, she was a real lady." He laughed softly, unable to help himself, at the younger man's comments. "I think cowboy me was much more proper than I am. But I guess I should be grateful to him, and to Jane, because without them we wouldn't be here." Even if they were fictional, as far as Bones could tell. He still wasn't sure what had happened, but he was pretty sure those people didn't really exist anymore.

Bones sat on the bed, then gently trapped the other man's hand in his and tugged him down to join him. He encouraged him onto his lap, then wrapped his arms around him and kissed him, this time more thoroughly. "I can do that." Hold him, kiss him, touch him... he was more than willing to do all of that.
