Kevin

you asked for this

Captain, I am concerned that the crew's infatuation with a recently developed game is affecting productivity.

[ there's been some danger on her home planet and the queen has been summoned back after a diplomatic summit abroad. it's been a difficult time and she is uneasy as she tries to navigate the enterprise despite knowing that this is meant to be a peaceful mission. ]

Captain, about how long must I spend on this ship before I am able to return home?

[Captain's perk: he gets his own bathroom. It's a bathroom with real running water and a real bathtub. And a real lock that only the CMO can override and he didn't explicitly tell Bones that he was taking the Enterprise's brand new ensign to his quarters for a sex marathon because it's been almost a year since the last time they fucked and they have time to make up for but it was implied. His best friend and doctor is the only one on the ship that knows about them, and it's going to stay that way because Jim Kirk has made it through one five year mission, and three genocidal maniacs without sleeping with someone under his command.

Elsa is different. He doesn't think it counts if they weren't already sleeping together before she even joined Starfleet. Also she's the closest to a committed, monogamous relationship that he's been in since he was nineteen, so. He thinks there's a form to fill out? But he already has enough paperwork and they've made it this long without very many people even suspecting.

It's also hot as hell to sneak around.

Sex in a bathtub makes an awful mess that he's going to have to clean up himself rather than let the quartermaster ask questions about what the hell happened. But he finds he doesn't really care about that when she's hot and tight around him and panting in his ear while he works on making a mark on her shoulder.]

[There's a hundred reasons why they haven't gone public with-- whatever this is. They're both too old and busy to play the game of boyfriends and while it's far past the fling stage, it's not like he's putting a ring on it because well. Bones would probably chop off his dick if he tried. Or at the very least, isolate him in the medbay under suspicion of a terrible disease because it's not like Jim is known for his history of monogamy and commitment. Bones gets that about him, but Bones also has to know that Kirk hasn't been getting his rocks off with anyone else for over two years now. So there's that. Maybe he doesn't think that Bones ever wants to get married again either.

They're also the Captain and CMO of a starship with four hundred crew members. At best, the whole damn ship will gossip and pry and at worst, Kirk will probably have to fill out paperwork about the whole thing because of an imaginary abuse of power because let's be honest, if anyone's in charge here, it's Bones. Let's be double honest, Kirk hates paperwork.

So yeah. They're something. They're more than just best friends who fuck sometimes (because they fuck a lot) and neither one of them has tried to put a label on it. He's not going to tell people about something that is going to open him up to a hundred questions that he hasn't answered with the man that he (probably, definitely) loves. It feels trivial to call Bones his partner, when it's so much deeper than that and soulmates is well-- just plain fucking girly.

Kirk himself doesn't really know exactly when things shifted. Sometime after he died and Bones snatched him back, it just did. It was different. The sex was different and waking up with his face pressed into a shoulder started happening more often. Or maybe they were just heading this way all along and neither of them saw it coming because Bones is stubborn and Kirk is stupid when it comes to his feelings.

His mom is the one who points out that it's obvious there's something between him and his best friend, during their yearly vidcall for his birthday (which is a day a late, but he gets a free pass for that because he was saving the world again) and if it's clear to her, probably other people have noticed too. Since, you know, she only sees him a few times a year.]

Do you think people know? [is the first thing out of his mouth when Bones steps inside his-- their, it's their apartment because it's a joke to pretend like they hadn't been spending almost every night together in his quarters on the Enterprise. Captain's quarters were bigger, it made more sense. He's been given a similar luxury on Yorktown, while they wait for their ship to be built. He also realizes that he sounds like a lunatic without context, but that's not really far off the norm either.]
