I just love the way the friendship between Kirk and Bones grows in this one. In the movie, we haven't seen what happened between the shuttle ride and the Kobayashi Maru incident and this fic is basically it.
Jim’s hands are shoved deep into the pockets of his uniform. “Are you—”
“Just come in, damnit,” Leonard huffs. “Unless you’re here to point and laugh.”
“God, Bones, how much of an asshole do you think I am?” Jim grouses, finally following him in and closing the door.
Leonard snorts. “On a scale of one to ten? You’re at least a fifteen. And ten ain’t the lowest.”
“Yeah, I figured that out.”
