prompt from @lenyberry: for some reason, someone gives Spock an herbal tea blend designed for helping humans get to sleep. But everyone failed to consider differences of vulcan biology & check the ingredients – and while catnip is a very mild sedative with no further psychoactive effects for humans, vulcans evolved from a more felinoid ancestry… No lasting harm done of course, just, catnip tea + insomniac vulcan = Extra Cuddly *stoned* vulcan who’s probably not gonna sleep til he comes off the high.
2.5k words. stoned Spock, humor, mutual pining.
“Bones, I’m going to get bed sores.”
Bones shoots him a nasty look across sickbay. “No, you’re damn well not.”
“I will if you keep me in this bed a day longer,” Jim pouts.
“Jim, you’re recovering from a shattered spine and three broken ribs. Shut the hell up.”
“Yeah, but that happened a week ago. Hasn’t modern medicine evolved enough so that I can get back up and at ‘em with a broken spine within a week?”
“No,” says Bones flatly. He continues staring at a medical chart perched against his lap.
Jim tilts his head back and sighs dramatically.
“Jim, I’m discharging you tonight! Quit your belly-achin’!”
In response, Jim sticks his tongue out at him. It’s at this moment the sickbay doors decide to swish open, revealing Spock. Jim immediately straightens and his face straightens into an uncontrollably bright smile. “Spock!”
