Here it is!!!

Jim let out a breath. A coma. How? Why now, when he just got you back. He looked around him at the other officers. "Report to Mr. Scott. Thank you for bringing her back."

The dusty group left leaving Jim and Bones, save a few nurses, with your sleeping form. Jim took a seat next to you taking your hand in his. He laid his head on the side of the bed, closing his eyes. He should have transferred you over earlier. He should have told you how he felt instead of thinking selfishly about his so-called 'reputation'. As if that was more important than having you with him.

Your hands were rough from the years of hands-on work you did as an engineer. He always liked you in red. That's why he liked making you blush. Now you were pale and your dress was ripped. Looking around, Jim found a damp rag and used it to gently wipe away the dirt smudged on your face.

Bones came over, setting a hand on his friend's shoulder. "I'll have Nurse Chapel take good care of her. You have a ship to command."

Jim nodded, knowing his gruff friend was right. "Let me know the moment she wakes."

Bones nodded, helping his friend up. "You'll be the first to know. Though I don't know why you would want the first thing she sees to be your face."

Jim cracked a smile, just what Bones wanted. Jim patted him on the shoulder. "Not every girl who gets hurt wants to see your face first either. You have the worst RBF."

For the next two weeks, Jim made sure to come see you at least once, bringing a vase of flowers the first time and new flowers every few visits. He wanted to make sure you had fresh ones, he knew how much you liked the smell of real fresh flowers. You laid there, unchanged but Jim kept his hopes up knowing you were strong.

It was late and Jim had just finished a long shift after running into space pirates. He was tired and all he wanted to do was sleep but his drive to see you was stronger. He sat at your side, holding your hand and gently running his fingertips up your arm like he used to do when you were both studying late in the Academy library.

A lump formed in his throat as he looked over your still body. "I was such an idiot."

He could hear you laugh and say something like "Of course you are. Took you long enough to figure that out. Now, if you could only accept the fact you are ugly as hell." He smirked at himself, letting out a small snort of air through his nose.

He closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. The battle raging in his mind was driving him nuts. So to quiet his own fight Jim thought it wouldn't hurt to tell you how he felt since you were in no shape to push him away. To yell at him. To tell him that you didn't feel the same.

He reached up and stroked your cheek, moving some hair behind your ear. "I am so sorry (Y/n). I pushed you away the moment we graduated. I was selfish and afraid of my own feelings." Jim paused, resting his chin on the bed as he gazed at you. "I liked the attention I was getting from- you know- I just didn't know how to settle down. How to stick to one choice.

"You know me. I'm reckless and stupidly lucky. But I can tell you I wasn't lucky the moment we parted ways. I wouldn't be surprised if you hated me. If you never wanted to see me again. I hate that it took you getting hurt for me to come to terms with my feelings but I can only hope that when you wake up I can prove to you that I care for you. That I-" Jim paused again.

Sitting up, he took a deep breath and held your hand to his lips, kissing your fingers lightly. "I love you. I think I always did, but I was too stupid to realize. Please, forgive me. Please, wake up. I want things to be how they were before where you would tease me, laugh like a mute seal, eat like a starving panda and look at me like I was your world."

Tears threatened to fall from the captain's eyes but he held them back, not wanting his read face to be the first thing you saw. But it was proving to be hard. A tear slipped. Then another and another. Soon he was sniffing between sobs, resting his head on the bed as his shoulders shook.

"I love you so much. Please. Wake up. Yell at me for being stupid. Hit my arm for being such a cry baby. Take my hand when you are scared. Wink at me when you think I'm not looking." He leaned forward and kissed your forehead, lingering for a moment before pulling away. "Please make my ugly ass happy to have you by my side again."

Jim fell back on his arms resting on the bed, his hand still holding yours. He wasn't sure how long he was there for before he was sure he felt your hand tighten around his. Holding his breath and holding very still, Jim watched your hand. But you didn't move. Jim closed his eyes and soon fell asleep his emotions spent and his body tired.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You winced. You were having the best dream ever humanly created and now your stupid body wanted to wake you up. You blinked as the area around you came into focus. The lights were dimmed but you could see the medical equipment. You let out a groan. That's right, you got hurt.

You were going to stretch but there was a slight pressure on your waist. You looked down and blinked. Maybe you were still dreaming. Jim Kirk laid there on you, his face toward you as he peacefully slept. His hair was everywhere like he was running his hands through it, so you did just that.

You reached over and smiled as you felt his soft locks between your fingers. You played with his hair for a bit until he stirred. You stroked his cheek then, soaking in this moment knowing you won't get another time to be this close to him. Unless him being here meant something.

Jim took a deep breath, reaching up to take your hand from his cheek and moving his head to face the other way. "Five more minutes."

You snorted, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "I'm a bit hungry. You think the mess hall will wait five more minutes?"

Jim's eyes opened and his head shot up. He felt your hand in his and he squeezed it as he slowly turned to look at you. You let out a little laugh at the look on his face. Jim couldn't stop staring. You were awake. You were alright.

You opened your mouth to say something but you weren't able to get anything passed the extra pair of lips that suddenly pressed against yours. Jim cupped your cheek as he moved his lips against yours, gentle yet eager. You closed your eyes as you reached up to run your hand through his hair again. The two of you would have stayed like that for much longer had your lungs not needed air.

Jim pulled away but only enough to hold your gaze, his breath coming out in gasps as he smiled. "I love you," he whispered.

Your face reddened as you too tried to catch your breath. That became difficult when you made a connection. "Oh," you breathed touching his cheek lightly, "so what happened in my dream was real." You dreamed a goat was telling you those things but you understood the gist of it.

Before Jim asked what you meant you back-handed his arm, eliciting a yelp of surprise. You looked him in the eyes as tears started to form. "You are an idiot James Kirk. You are lucky I happen to love you. You and your ugly ass."

Jim smiled wide as he pressed a kiss to your cheek. "I'm sorry."

You nodded, taking his hand in yours, playing with his fingers. "Thank you."

Jim smiled just watching you just breathe, blink, and play with his fingers. Being awake and looking well. "You are so beautiful." His voice almost sounded wistful. You glanced at him, blushing.

"How long have I been out?"

"Roughly two weeks."

You snorted. "You must be blind or sleep deprived." You looked at him, your eyes narrowed. "Probably both."

Jim chuckled. "Nah, I have never been better. You hungry?"

On cue, both of your stomachs growled. You giggled reaching up to fix his hair that you had mused. "Looks like I'm not the only one."

"I'll go get you something." Jim stood, about to leave but you held on to his hand.

"Wait," you called, pulling him to you. You pressed your lips to his, loving the feeling of him so close as you felt your heart heal.

"I love you," Jim whispered against your lips as he felt his heart fill and his love for you grow.

Gah! Guys! I feel like I say this all the time but MAN I loved this one!!!
