That's all you get. Ask me one question. Any one question, anything, no matter how crazy it is. An honest answer. No catch.

...what's your beef with my little brother?

Because it's the burning question. Daddy issues be damned

[drlmccoy.livejournal.com]

Would you have understood, if I told you about David?

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

*She hates you right now, Jim Kirk. This is a question she doesn't want to answer, least of all to you. Sadly that's not how this works though so her answer is clipped and curt while she does her solid best not to look at you.* Yes.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

*The boy can't possibly know what's he just done by asking that question.* I almost had a little boy once.

*The question has been answered, but the part that goes unsaid is that she would have had that little boy had he belonged to Leonard and not Clay. There wouldn't have been any "accidents" or any of the resulting consequences.*

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

There's certainly no mistaking your family tree, Ambassador. I think the dislike is a mutual thing stemming from our involvement with Leonard.

Poor Bones.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

I would have tried, I just wasn't given that chance.

oh yes. Angsty!Leonard is so much fun too :D

[hesdead-jim.livejournal.com]

*He nodded, staying silent as he pinched the bridge of his nose.* Maybe we could try

Well Bones is nice to look at even when he's NOT angsty. The angst just makes it better.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

We're not the same people we were, but is that any reason to think it wouldn't end just as badly? The implications of what you just said... Len, are either of us masochistic enough to go back into that willingly?


*The answer is yes. She is, but he's meant to be smarter than that. And she doesn't want to risk thinking this could happen, that they could be more again, just for him to wise up and be the one to leave her with nothing.*

[firstbornkirk.livejournal.com]

Oh I have no doubt it's mutual, I just wanted to know if your half was reasonable.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you know how... antagonistic your brother can be when he wants to be. Don't get me wrong, I respect the man to a certain degree for what he's managed to accomplish, but I sincerely doubt we'll ever be friends. By any means.

Not really. Can't blame Jocelyn for loneliness, and Leonard is faulted in this too. He ran away.

[get-me-a-drink.livejournal.com]

Probably harder. I... sorry I asked, Josey. Guess... that's just... not where our destinies lied.

The words young and stupid come to mind...

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

Then why do we still feel this way? After everything why can't we make it stop?

*Because she's tried, she really has, to stop loving this man. To stop seeing his face when she closes her eyes.*

I stopped believing in destiny a long time ago.

...and grief stricken and avoidance.

[get-me-a-drink.livejournal.com]

After everything? Well, put it in perspective. We... really didn't do all that much. An' y'know Josey... once yer' in love, you don't really fall out.

[Oh it's much the same with Leonard, Jocelyn]

I didn't.

[sonofstarfleet.livejournal.com]

A-almost? *And then he gets it, and his eyes widen and he winces* Oh...Ambassador McCoy, I'm sorry.

[captainjimk.livejournal.com]

...oh.

Okay.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

*She's waiting for the snide comment or biting remark, wary when neither of those things come.* That's all?

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

*She nods slightly, cupping his face and patting his cheek gently.* Nothing to apologize for, but thank you anyway.

oh yes indeed :D

[hesdead-jim.livejournal.com]

All I know Jocey is that I've learn from my damned mistakes. I wouldn't make 'em again.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about this?

These two. So difficult.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

Funny. I thought I loved Clay once. That feeling seemed to vanish after a dance.

*She doesn't like this conversation in the least. It frustrates her because she knows there is no right answer or perfect solution. It's just like rubbing salt in a very deep wound.*

Then maybe I haven't quite made amends with destiny.

[hesdead-jim.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's masochistic, insane an' crazy. But am... sure enough to try.

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

*For the first time in a long time she actually felt insecure when she looked at him.* Does this mean... are we actually going to do this? Us?

Indeed, indeed.

[get-me-a-drink.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I loved bein' invisible an' hiding in my school work, what a coincidence, that changed after a dance as well. An' knockin' one Clay Treadway flat on his ass.

[Chews his lower lip, then glances down. He'll just bring up that old avoidance trick again] So uh, anyways, how've ya' been?

[jmtooktheplanet.livejournal.com]

Then I guess I have more to apologize to you for than I realized.

*The slow flare of anger surprises her, and it only shines brighter when he goes for avoidance. He was the one that brought this up, he doesn't get to avoid it now that he's opened a festering wound.*

No, you don't get to do that. You don't get off that easily, Leonard McCoy. You started this. We're going to finish it.

[hesdead-jim.livejournal.com]

It's lookin' like we are, Jocey.
