Vulcans Do Not Get Sick
“Okay, why are you so happy?” Bones asked as he and Jim sat in the rec room and played cards.
Jim looked up from his hand and smiled. “I’m always happy.”
“No, not this happy. The past couple months you’ve been…happy happy. Like you’re getting laid regularly.”
Jim laughed and shook his head. “Who would I be sleeping with on the ship?” Spock. I’m sleeping with Spock and it’s amazing and we cuddle until I fall asleep. And I love him.
“I don’t know,” Bones replied, eyeing his friend. “Did you get your vibrator fixed?”
Jim internally sighed before saying, “Yes. Yes, I did. Just needed a new battery.” A Spock battery that is always ready to go. Stop it, Jim.
“That must be it then. I don’t want any details though.”
“Ah, Bones, so you don’t wanna know that I call my little friend Leonard?”
Bones closed his eyes and cursed under his breath. Jim chuckled then put his cards down on the table. “Gin.”
Bones opened his eyes and stared at his friend. “We’re playing poker. Why do you think we have poker chips on the table?”
Jim looked to the chips and shrugged. “Oh, well then I have a pair of fours and nothing else.”
Bones shook his head and collected Jim’s cards to reshuffle. “Even if we were playing gin, you wouldn’t’ve won.”
Jim stuck his tongue out at Bones before waving over Sulu, Carol, and Pavel who had just walked into the rec room. “Wanna play poker?”
“Yeah that sounds fun,” Sulu said as Carol and Pavel nodded.
“Where is Uhura and Spock?” Carol asked as they all sat down.
“Hanging out or yoga or something. I don’t know what they do,” Jim told her.
“Tell me,” Uhura demanded as she and Spock did yoga in his quarters.
“There is nothing to tell,” Spock replied, ignoring the looks his friend was giving him.
“Something has been up with you this past month or so, Spock. Tell me.”
“No.”
“So there is something to tell.”
“No,” Spock said again before looking away and getting into the upward facing two-foot staff pose.
Uhura shook her head and copied his pose. “Something is up, Spock.”
“Nothing is up, Nyota.”
“Is it about Kirk?”
.

“It is, isn’t it?” Uhura asked excitedly before breaking pose and pushing Spock out of his.
Spock internally sighed and sat in lotus position across from his friend. Uhura smiled and copied him before raising a brow.
“Did you tell him you love him?”
“No.”
“Did you tell him you like him?”
“No.”
Uhura huffed, “Spock, just tell me. I’m not going to care. You know I’m sort of with Montgomery now.”
I cannot tell her, Spock thought. She would be cross that Jim and I are in such an arrangement.
“We…our…relationship has…changed.”
Uhura’s face lit up. “Oh my god! Seriously?”
Spock internally winced at her loud tone before nodding. “Yes, however we have not discussed…our feelings yet. He…we…merely wish to explore this new relationship quietly.”
Uhura nodded. “I understand. I guess because of Jim’s last relationship, he wants to take it a bit slow, huh?”
“Yes,” Spock lied. “I would appreciate it if you did not speak to anyone, especially Jim, about our relationship.”
“I won’t Spock, I promise.”
“Thank you, Nyota.”
A few hours later, Jim mewled into Spock’s pillow as the Vulcan laved at his hole. He was naked, laying on his stomach with his fists clenching Spock’s pillow. He was close to climax by just being rimmed.
“’m so, so glad…,” Jim moaned. “…that you said you’d…ah…do this.”
Spock plunged his tongue back inside Jim before removing it. “I find this to be quite pleasurable, Jim.”
Jim nodded then pushed his ass up towards Spock. “Don’t stop.”
“Demanding,” Spock tsked before continuing his assault on Jim’s ass.
After they both had found release, Spock cuddled up behind Jim in bed and breathed in Jim’s desirable scent. He was pleased that they had come into his room this time for 3D chess as Spock found comfort in having his room smell like his t’hy’la.
Jim sighed and relaxed back into Spock’s embrace.
“Have I told you how awesome you are?” Jim asked.
“You have informed me after every time we have completed coitus.”
Jim chuckled then closed his eyes. “Let me rest for a bit then I’ll get out of your hair.”
Spock ignored the saying and felt Jim fall asleep a few moments later. He cuddled closer behind him, closing his eyes and holding his t’hy’la, loving how perfectly Jim fit into his arms. He nuzzled the back of Jim’s neck and gave him a gentle kiss there before deciding to rest like this for a few hours before waking Jim.
Spock woke up two point three hours later when Jim mumbled something in his sleep and turned in his arms. Spock opened his eyes and Jim snuggled his head under Spock’s chin and wrapped his arms around him before settling again.
Spock hugged Jim back, feeling how content Jim was through their skin-to-skin contact. He was shielding but had let just a little sliver down to feel his t’hy’la.
After a few moments, Spock reluctantly removed himself from Jim. His heart fluttering when Jim mumbled in his sleep again and moved a little closer to where Spock backed away on the bed. When Jim settled with clutching one of Spock’s pillows, Spock got out of bed and walked around to Jim’s side.
Spock carefully picked up his t’hy’la, who was still clutching the pillow, bridal style and carried him thru their shared bathroom and into Jim’s quarters. He gently laid Jim down on his bed and pulled his covers over him before leaning down.
His lips hovered over Jim’s forehead as he quietly said, “I love you.” He kissed Jim’s forehead then straightened back up. He admired Jim’s sleeping face and how peacefully he looked before turning and leaving Jim’s quarters and going back into his.
He put on his sleeping robe then plopped down onto his bed and clutched Jim’s pillow to his face. While he was enjoying the cuddling, he hated departing from my t'hy'la before he woke. He wished to spend every night with Jim.
A few days later, the Enterprise received an urgent message to reroute to a nearby colony. There had been several earthquakes and some colonists needed relocating to a starbase for the time being.
During the route to the colony, Jim and Spock didn’t have time to spend together as they needed to oversee some moving around of items to make space for the colonists on the ship. When they arrived, they found it was mostly families with small children that needed to be relocated. They picked them up and got everyone settled in before heading off on the three day trip to the starbase.
Spock was not overly fond of small children so he tried staying on the bridge (where no child was allow), in his labs (where no child was allowed) and in his quarters (where no child was allowed). When he did leave those places, he frequently found his captain with a trail of kids behind him. They all seemed to love Captain Kirk and Jim was enjoying the attention.
Spock was not jealous.
As he was leaving the labs to head to his quarters, he turned a corner and came across Jim in the hallway, holding a human toddler on his hip. Spock raised a brow as Jim saw him and smiled.
“There you are, Spock,” Jim called before walking over with the toddler. “You’ve got some explaining to do.”
“Pardon, Captain?”
Jim chuckled then bounced the toddler on his hip. “This little girl, Spock. Explain why she looks like you.”
Spock looked over the toddler then raised another brow. “She is human, has dark brown hair, and brown eyes. I do not understand why you think she resembles me as I assure you, there is no way I have fathered a child. Especially this one.”
Jim laughed. “I know, Spock, I’m just messing with you.”
Spock went to respond but a woman rounded the corner near them and called out to Jim.
“Captain Kirk,” she said, walking up to them. “Thank you again for volunteering to watch Ellie for me.”
“Mama!” Ellie said, making grabby hands at her mother.
“It was no problem, Lorelei,” Jim turned to her and smiled. “Happy to do it. She’s very well behaved.”
Lorelei laughed as she took Ellie from Jim. “Right now she is, but she has her moments. I’ll see you later at the movie showing.”
“Of course,” Jim replied before waving at Ellie. “Bye bye.”
“Bye bye,” Ellie said with a grin before Lorelei turned and walked away.
Jim turned back to Spock. His smile dropped at seeing Spock’s quizzical expression. “What?”
“Why were you watching that child?”
“Because her mom asked if someone could.”
“Why?”
“I think she needed to use the bathroom or something, I don’t really know. Why?”
“You are the captain and…”
“And I’m making sure the guests on my ship are taken care of. I watched Ellie for like ten minutes, Spock.”
Spock nodded then asked, “What was Ellie’s mother referring to about the movie?”
Why are you seeing her? Spock thought, keeping down a surge of possessiveness.
Jim chuckled. “I’m not attending it with her. The kids all wanted to watch a movie so we’re having a movie night. You should come. Some of the kids think you’re cool despite the fact that you’re avoiding them.”
“No thank you.”
“Aw, Spock, c’mon,” Jim smiled. “We’re going to be watching Shrek. I think you’d like it.”
“I do not…” Spock tried saying but stopped when he saw Jim’s bright blue eyes start to look sad and his smile fade. “I…I will attend the movie showing.”
Jim’s smile immediately came back bright and cheery. “Great!”
Spock rushed into his quarters and into the bathroom. He quickly tore off his clothes before getting into the shower and turning on the hot water. He grabbed at shampoo and soap and started scrubbing every inch of him.
“Spock!” Jim called.
“I am busy,” Spock replied, hearing Jim enter their shared bathroom.
Jim laughed. “Spock, you’re overreacting.”
Spock continued scrubbing. “I am not.”
“So a kid sneezed on you. No big deal.”
Spock opened the shower door and looked at his t’hy’la. Jim broke out in a huge grin at seeing how soapy Spock was from head to toe. He narrowed his eyes at Jim.
“Got bubbles, Spock?”
Spock shook his head then shut the shower door as Jim started to laugh.
After the kids and other colonists were dropped off at the starbase, several crew members started coming down with severe colds. Jim was so happy that he never got sick anymore or else he would right with his crewmates in throwing up, getting achy and having high fevers.
Instead, Jim got to have fantastic sex with Spock. Which is what he was doing now.
He moaned as Spock sucked on his neck. Jim wrapped his arms around Spock’s bare back and rubbed up against him. They hadn’t gotten their underwear off just yet but Jim knew they were close to that as Spock started moving down Jim’s chest, marking him as he went.
Jim bit his button lip as Spock neared the waistline of his underwear. When Jim felt Spock pause and not move he looked down.
“Spock?” Jim asked. The half-naked Vulcan was looking a little greener then usually.
“I…I will be back momentarily,” Spock then said before climbing out of Jim’s bed and rushing into the bathroom.
Jim sat up just as he heard Spock throwing up. He made a face at the sound before getting out of bed and walking to the doorway of the bathroom. Spock was doubled over the toilet, emptying his stomach.
“Oh, are you getting sick too?”
Spock shook his head, managed to get out a ‘negative’ before continuing to throw up.
Jim sighed and went back into his quarters. He changed into his pajamas then called Bones to his room.
“You’re sick,” Bones said, looking at the Vulcan laying on the bathroom floor.
“No, I am not,” Spock replied, his eyes closed and a hand splayed out on his stomach.
“Get off the floor then.”
Spock shook his head. “I…I need to lay here for a moment. I am not sick.”
Bones shook his head then looked to Jim. “You just found him like this?”
Jim nodded. “Yep, heard noises in here and found him throwing up.”
Bones looked back to the Vulcan then knelt down next to him and ran a tricorder over him. “Yep, you’re sick.”
“No,” Spock groaned before slowly standing up and leaning against the counter. “Vulcans do not get sick. I am…I am…perfectly…” Spock then turned and threw up into the sink.
Jim scrunched up his face and looked away. Just seen him throw up and I still love him. You got it bad.
