Jim is very sensual, sure. He’s very into sex, and when he’s at it, a very dedicated lover. He’s also just very lucky with Bones, who keeps him very interested, and who’s just equally into him. But sometimes, work is stressful enough that even sex can’t keep him distracted long enough. “Jim,” Leonard says, voice coming out a little like a moan, though not all that pleased. “Jim,” Leonard urges, and Jim tears his gaze away from the ceiling. His hands move up to Leonard’s hips, throwing him a small smile. Leonard’s hands are on Jim’s chest, and the messy hair and slight flush on Leonard’s cheeks looks absolutely stunning, but the annoyed look on his face isn’t as promising. “When you called me over to your quarters for sex, I expected both of us to be there. I’m here, where are you?” Jim sits up straight, sliding his arms around Leonard’s waist. “I’m right here, too.” “Hmm, no,” Leonard says, and Jim realizes he messed up when Leonard slides off of him, “want to talk about it?” “Talking was the opposite of what I wanted,” Jim replies, and Leonard huffs, pulling Jim down with him. “If you didn’t want to talk about it, you would’ve paid more attention to me. Now, talk to me.”
Other times, though, Jim’s really into it. Too much so, maybe. Leonard knows just how to move, it drives Jim crazy. Arms and legs both wrapped around Leonard’s body, pulling him impossibly closer. And Jim’s close, so close; moans shamelessly loud. In excitement, he rolls them around to straddle Leonard’s hips instead, but he rolls just a little too far, a little too quick, and it just rolls them right off bed. They’re on the ground in a mess of tangled limbs and bed sheets, and Leonard groans in discomfort. “Damn it, Jim,” he cusses at him, but then laughs, and Jim does, too.
Jim’s lips are all over Leonard’s body. His chest, his thighs, his neck, his stomach. Even though they’ve only been separated a weekend or so, Jim’s clearly missed the other more than he anticipated. Leonard’s enjoying it, too, judging by the sounds he’s making, and the way nails drag over Jim’s naked back. “Captain Kirk, report to Bridge,” Spock’s voice rings over the intercom, and Jim visibly tenses, briefly, then leans down to kiss Leonard anyway. “Kirk to Bridge,” Spock urges, and Jim pushes himself off his boyfriend with a grunt. “What?” he snaps at the intercom after turning it on. “There’s a non-responsive vehicle heading towards us, Captain,” Spock says, with a hint of annoyance in his voice for being snapped at, “it requires your immediate attention.” Jim sighs, gritting out a quick: “understood”, and then he grabs his shirt off the floor. “Don’t stay up for me,” he tells Bones, fully knowing that the other will just follow him out to the Bridge, anyway.
Sex just hasn’t been happening for a while, and Jim’s getting a little antsy. Things get in the way, one of them’s already asleep when the other returns from their shift, or life in general just gets in the way. And then the night they do have off together, one of the engines responsible for the temperature regulation breaks down, and the entire Enterprise is warm. Too warm to fall asleep in, let alone get frisky. So Bones suggests a cool shower, which Jim readily accepts. Brilliant idea, in theory, until Jim slips over his own shower gel and hurts his tailbone, and that sets them back a couple days, too.
Luckily, though, sometimes it does happen when they least expect it. They’ve been bickering all day, Bones is visibly annoyed, Jim is no better. They don’t even sleep in the same bed so both of them think about their argument most of the night. Jim’s exhausted the next morning, still a little annoyed. And yet, there’s something about Bones coming into the conference room that morning. Disheveled hair, tired eyes, slight scruff on his cheeks. Jim wants to be mad, wants to scold the other publicly for his remarks the day before, hoping Spock would jump to his defense. But instead, Jim remains quiet, appreciating the look - and hating himself for doing so. Bones knows, though, and it looks like he’s no better. So after the morning meeting is over, and Jim gets up to leave, hands find his hips and Jim gets pressed against the wall; lips chasing his own. And as Bones’ hands tug at Jim’s pants, he knows he’s about to become a lot more acquainted with the desk in this stupid little office.
“Why don’t we sleep together every night anymore?” Jim asks out loud, before he even knows he does. Bones is just reading the news on his PADD. Probably sending Joanna a few messages, too, and he turns to look at Jim with a frown. “Do you want that?” “Well yes, obviously.” “I guess shifts are making it hard to do that, sometimes,” Bones says, putting his PADD away and instead he focuses on Jim. “I can reschedule your shifts to match mine,” Jim says, turning to lie on his side instead, sliding an arm around the other’s waist. “You’re not going to mess up the medbay shifts just so you can get laid,” Bones warns him, and Jim laughs. “Fine.” “Besides,” Bones continues, “sometimes it’s nice just to lie here and talk. Even though you say a lot of dumb shit, I like listening to you.” “Hmm,” Jim agrees, fingers gently running over Bones’ cheek, “I like listening to you, too,” he admits, “talking the night away about your medical things, I can listen to that all night.” “Good,” Bones says, and Jim grins. “Especially if I get to bang you after.”
