[ Bones' heart seized in his chest when he felt the hand around his arm. Whether it was more out of sorrow or panic, he wasn't exactly sure. If he could get a moment alone maybe he could sort things out, figure out a course of action and, if possible, a halfway decent excuse for why responded the way that he did.

He didn't want to have to lie to Jim — just the mere thought of it was enough to wrack him with guilt — but he knew he couldn't tell him the truth. Not if they wanted to stay friends, and especially not if Jim didn't feel the same way.

The doctor bit down on his lower lip, wondering if he should pull away and make a run for his office. He knew he couldn't, though. Not when his best friend is asking him to stay, to listen. It wouldn't be the first time he asked him to do something he was terrified to do. With any luck, it won't be the last.

The doctor nodded silently, his gaze lifting up toward the door. ]


I was goin' to go back to my office. [ He admitted, in a softer tone than usual. Gentle, just like the steps that he takes across the medbay, knowing that Jim would be right behind him. ]

[ That Bones even thought this would be enough for Jim to not speak to him again was beyond him, honestly. Even if he hadn't wanted that kiss— and at this point Jim was pretty sure his actions had very much proved the opposite. So far as he was aware, him deepening the kiss had been the main reason why Bones had pulled away from him, after all. He couldn't really blame Bones for that.

Nodding, he gestured for Bones to lead the way, following after and making sure the door was locked behind him. The room suddenly felt much smaller than the last time Jim remembered being here, the air stifling. He tried to ignore that, as he did the tension that made him stand too awkwardly still. ]


I got... carried away. [ To put it mildly, and to not get into too many details. Mostly because he figured Bones wouldn't want to hear them. ] It was wrong of me, and I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable. I get it if you're upset with me, too. But I promise you, it won't happen again.

[ And if he had to chase down the culprits for this practical joke just to stop the stupid plants from ruining their friendship, then he sure as hell would. ]

Are we alright, Bones? I mean, you're not gonna start avoiding me or something like that, right?
