[He'd fucked that up pretty well, in the tried and true Jim Kirk method where he opened his mouth and let words come out. He shouldn't have mentioned it at all. Should have struck the idea off and tossed it into the same category as ending it between them, and space piracy. The things that were never going to happen. They weren't ending it and they weren't getting married. Simple as that. He'd find another way and one that didn't involve time travel to stuff the cat back into the bag.
Though really, that might end up be the easiest option the way this was going.]
I said it was an option, not the only way.
[Where Jim didn't like it either, it was more like an inconvenience and less like the end of the world like Bones was making it seem. Which is kind of difficult to not take even a little bit personally. This is why they've never talked about it because when you talk about something, then things get said that maybe weren't meant to come out the way they do or maybe it's exactly what's meant to be said and it isn't something he wants to hear. He didn't want to marry him because it felt like they had to either. And he is clearly right in thinking that Bones doesn't want to get married again at all.
Still. It wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. It actually falls somewhere in the middle, because things like that reassignments, and break ups, and dying are worse outcomes than getting married. Bones has said no so vehemently without actually saying anything, that Kirk thinks maybe he has to reorder some of that.
you died again Jim Kirk and this time it's permanent but at least you weren't married at the time.
Jesus, he's being a fucking girl about this.
Jim knows better than to poke a bear when it's angry but he's never really been good at learning his lessons. He lets Bones finish his drink before he follows. Doesn't quite crowd into his personal space but grabs his bicep instead. Like he's giving him another moment to accept the fact that he's going to have to turn around and face him.]
You said you wanted to talk, so this is us talking about it. I'll find another way, if that's what you really want, just don't shut down on me, ok?
