Cas’ POV

“Well… Castiel…?”

Cas stares at the Captain, not 100% sure how to answer the question. He does not remember much about what happened before he woke up on the ship, all he knows is that it was something that was painful (both physically and emotionally).

“Captain Kirk, I do not fully know why I appeared on your ship, but I’m assuming that I was sent here for a reason.”

The Captain, the Doctor, and the man with the pointy ears all glance at each other.

“Okay Castiel, hopefully we can all figure it out soon. But in the mean time, I believe that you should rest since your body did go through something traumatic, or at least I’m assuming that you did,” the doctor says, “Captain, do we have a spare room that he can rest in?”

“I don’t believe that we currently have any spare rooms as of now Bones. I also believe that, since you are the doctor, that he can just stay in your room with you. That way you can keep an eye on him in case anything else happens.”

“I don’t need a room,” Cas says as soon as Kirk stops talking, “I do not sleep, therefore a room with a bed is unnecessary.”

“Don’t care Castiel, I still insist that you at least share the room with Bones to ensure that nothing happens,” Captian Kirk adds.

Cas looks over at the Captain and hears the Doctor (Bones? That feels a little on the nose for a Doctor, but if that’s his name, that’s his name) sigh.

“Jim, I really don’t think it’s -“

“Leonard, this is what I’m asking you to do and as your captain, you will allow it.”

“Yes sir.”

Bones then grabs Cas’ hand and starts to drag him out of the room. He continues to pull Cas until they get to the elevator and then pushes him in before hitting the number for the right floor.

“Can you please stop manhandling me? I am perfectly capable of walking be myself.”

“I believe that, however, I am simply just trying to get us there as quickly as possible so that I may leave you there to go and discuss this… situation… with Jim,” Bones says with a sigh. “There really is no reason for you to stay with me. No reason at all.”

The elevator dings, and Bones grabs Cas again, quickly pulling him along. They reach the door to Bones’ room and they open. Cas gets pushed inside before they close again. The last thing he sees is Bones’ back as he walks away.

Bones POV

I cannot believe that Jim is forcing me to share my room with this man, or angel, I guess. This is absolutely not professional and he should not be allowing it.

Bones continues to silently fume while he waits to arrive in the bridge. As soon as the elevator doors open, he stomps into the space and everyone looks to stare at him.

“Jim!” Bones yells, “what could have possibly compelled you to make me share my room with this man! We don’t know anything about him!”

Spock backs away from where he was standing next to Jim as Bones advances across the room.

“This is just so unprofessional! I am absolutely livid!” Bones yells in Kirk’s face and pointing a finger in his face. “You had no right!”

Jim calmly pushes Bones’ finger away from his face before speaking.

“Bones,” Kirk starts, “the reason that I am having him stay in your room is partly because he was severely injured when he showed up and because, like you said, we don’t know much about him. Seeing as you are a doctor I believe that you may have a different perspective and will be able to help him the most.”

By the time he was done talking, Jim had stood up and had slowly put a hand on Bones’ shoulder.

“Now, it has been a long and trying 24 hours, why don’t you head back to your room and try to get some sleep?”

“How am I supposed to sleep with a strange man in my room, who, apparently does not sleep!”

“I think you can figure that out,” Jim says as he leads Bones back to the elevator. “You need sleep. Now go.”

Bones steps into the elevator and pushes the button for the floor. Feeling like he is on autopilot, he makes it back to his room and stands outside the door. Taking a deep breath, he enters his room. Cas sits up abruptly, the TV blaring a bit. Neither he nor Bones say nothing and Bones heads into his bathroom. He quickly washes up and gets ready for bed. Bones still hears the TV through the door and sighs.

“As long as he doesn’t watch me sleep,” Bones mutters. He then heads back into his room and over to his bed. Laying down he turns onto his side so his back is to Cas. He falls into a fitful sleep.
