Title: Five Times Kirk Swore He Wasn't Cheating (and the one time he totally, totally was)
Author: wook77
Fandom: Star Trek: XI
Rating: PG
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Wordcount: ~400
Warnings: Spoilers for Star Trek:XI
Summary: The five times James T. Kirk swore he wasn't cheating and the one time that he totally, totally was.
A/N: From a prompt here at the st_xi_kink meme. Unbeta'd.



1.) Kobayashi Maru. Blah blah blah. Still not cheating, no matter what Spock says.

2.) Jim is a serial monogamist. It's something completely different than a cheater or a guy that leads people on. Jim is committed to each and every one of his partners for however long each and every one of them last. That they only last a day or two, sometimes only hours and, ok, there had been that girl that had lasted about ten minutes but that's not something he likes to talk or think about, but still. He'd been committed to each of them and he clearly had broken up with them before he had moved on to the next. Serial monogamy is the way to go.

3.) It's not cheating to slip on to the Enterprise. It's totally not. It's creativity. Besides, it was Bones that did it. Not him. So if anyone cheated, it's Bones.

4.) It's also not cheating to use the other Spock's information against his Spock and get to be captain. He deserves to be captain. The other Spock agrees. Needs must and all that. Not cheating. It's using the skills and information that one has available to one.

5.) So what that he makes captain faster than anyone ever. It's not cheating to make sure that the Admirals are all well aware of how he had saved their asses and the entire planet. Totally not cheating to keep pointing that little factoid out, either.

6.) And, ok. So he totally and completely cheated that night. He had. He's not ashamed of it, either. The fact is that he needs Bones naked just like he needs air or water or sex. A naked Bones is one of the greatest things ever. In fact, it's better than sliced bread. So he totally cheated. So fucking what? Besides, Bones is his longest lasting relationship of any sort (other than the one he has with his mother and thanks a lot for putting his mother in the same mental image as Bones naked. He's not going to be scarred for life or anything). He's not going to fuck this up and if he has to cheat to keep it, he will. Them's the breaks.

As always, I'd love to hear what you thought.

Oh, this is so cute and so Kirk!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It really is, isn't it? The whole self-possessed thinking bit with the justifications. The fic sort of came out of nowhere. I was sleeping, woke up, and wrote the barebones bits of each of the points and then dropped back off to sleep.

omnomnom. I'm glad you're sharing in the brain eating powers of these two!

[deepsix.livejournal.com]

THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF THING I WANTED. (I was the prompter, btw.) So cute, and so Kirk!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

AWESOME! I'm very glad that you enjoyed it!!!! Your prompt kept sitting in my head so much that I woke up in the middle of the night, wrote the very barebones, dropped off, woke back up and finished it.

<3 Thanks so much for an awesome prompt and for letting me know what you thought!

[shygryf.livejournal.com]

lol

love this

and it's very true being creative isn't cheating!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad :D

And exactly! using your brain totes isn't cheating and fuck 'em if they think it is!

[annaalamode.livejournal.com]

Very adorable.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you reading!

[star98hope.livejournal.com]

This is great!! It's totally Kirk's voice. I love the justifications for everything. :D

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I've been working through Kirk as he isn't as strong in my head as McCoy and this was a nice exercise to see if I had him.

<3 I'm so glad you're here in this fandom, too! <3<3<3

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

This was adorable! I love the crispness of the writing.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!! I'm trying not to be so wordy so you make me grin hardcore with that, especially.

<3

[jikeidannin.livejournal.com]

This was just great! Loved it. The part with his mom, so priceless!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I can just see him going "OMGWTF" with thinking of his mum and bones and sex all in one thought process.

I appreciate you stopping by! Thanks so much for letting me know what you thought!

[angstbunny.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, #2. #2 is just absolutely totally perfect beyond all words.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Hee! That one's my fave, too. You can totally hear him justifying the "relationships" in his head every time he looks at a different woman and Bones in the movie.

I'm very glad you enjoyed! thanks for letting me know what you thought!

[http://users.livejournal.com/acquiescence_/]

Short and sweet and very much Kirk.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm very glad you thought so as Kirk is still sort of nebulous in my head and I'm trying to get a fix on him!

I appreciate you letting me know what you thought!

[minttown1.livejournal.com]

Hee. This is a really enjoyable little piece.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed! I appreciate you letting me know what you thought!

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

LOL OMG this is so funny and cute and so perfectly Kirk!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I totally love the justifications and rationale that goes on in Kirk's head in the movie so it's fun to explore what else he would use it for.

I appreciate your comments! thanks for letting me know!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Hee. Brilliant and adorable.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed!

[bassair.livejournal.com]

Adorable! I love it!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm very glad you enjoyed!

You had me at "Kobayashi Maru. Blah blah blah."

This is great. Fantastic inner voice. SOOOOO Kirk. How he lives with himself and makes his peace.

Nice!!!

PS How did he cheat?

(here by rec of emmagrant01)

[wook77.livejournal.com]

AWESOME! Can I just say that your first line makes me grin so hardcore. I can just see Kirk rolling his eyes and being all blahblahblah in his reactions to anytime someone brings it up to him.

I saw him cheating in strip poker, to be honest. Or strip chess. Cause you know Kirk would totally cheat at poker if it meant getting Bones naked.

That rec still has me grinning!

I appreciate the comment! <3

[iammeblue.livejournal.com]

awesome fic!

He's not going to fuck this up and if he has to cheat to keep it, he will. Them's the breaks.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad that you enjoyed this! It was definitely a lark to do!

Thanks so much for letting me know what you thought!
