Writing Prompt 5. Strange Allergies
He'd only gone into the Nexus for a goddamned coffee.
Sneezing isn't exactly an uncommon thing for Jim, especially in Spring when there's pollen everywhere. Space is usually a pretty great reprieve from that sort of thing but he's been careful with his time spent in Bruma with Felix and Stratos while they get things finalized with the Caelus and Avita families regarding the wedding. He keeps his allergy medications discreetly with him at all times, and avoids anything that looks like it Might be trouble.
If only he'd been that careful in the Nexus.
"Dammit, Jim--" Bones drags a hand down his face and internalizes the groan he wants to give. His best friend's turned rather pale and sniffly but that's preferable to why he'd finally drug his ass into Sickbay to begin with. "Why th'hell did you wait until now to come see me?"
"I thought I had it under control! But I got up this morning and everything looked Wrong and--" One of the captain's hands is clamped rather tightly over his eyes. "I'm going to have to apologize to Felix later for running out on him but I panicked when there was a goddamned blue arm around my waist."
"Only you could short out your visual cortex going out for coffee." The Enterprise-A's CMO mutters darkly while he rummages around in his things. "One o'these days I'm gonna just tie you in The Chair so you quit runnin' off to get into trouble every time someone looks th'other way." He stops muttering when he sees the quirk of Jim's lips but before the captain can open that mouth of his Bones is sticking a hypo into his neck.
"OW--!"
"I don't wanna know what you're into and if you say a word I'll kill you myself." He won't, Jim and McCoy both know this, but it pays not to upset one's doctor more than absolutely necessary. "Now quit whining and pull your hand down so we can run some tests."
