Prompt: Kirk, Spock, McCoy - Summer Triangle

Summer Triangle

″Remind me how we got here again?″ Leonard's voice was drowsy-soft and he trailed one hand in a lazy path up Jim's side.

″Mmmph,″ Jim replied. He was too tired to flinch away from Leonard's ticklish caress and simply pressed his cheek more firmly into the flesh of Spock's abdomen.

″If you are referring to 'here' as Iowa, then we took a shuttle.″ Spock replied, watching Leonard over the broad expanse of Jim's bare back. He raised an eyebrow at Leonard's scowl and pressed a hand to Jim's shaking back as the man laughed against Spock's stomach. ″However if you are inquiring as to how we ended up here in this bed, then I believe we must hold the Captain responsible.″

″It's always Jim's fault,″ Leonard groused, and poked a finger into Jim's side.

″Hey!″ This time Jim did flinch and grab at the offending finger ineffectually. ″All I said was that it was really hot and we should all cool off a bit. Getting naked definitely helped with that.″

″The removal of our clothing assisted in lowering our temperatures initially, however the ensuing activities did not. In fact I estimate that we raised our internal temperatures by approximately-″

″Forget it, Spock. He's just baiting us,″ Leonard cut in. ″He majored in asshattery in school.″

Spock raised both eyebrows this time. ″Having reviewed the Captain's records I can assure you that is not the case.″

Leonard groaned and fell back against the bed covers. ″Ya know what? How about I stop trying to introduce you to the concept of sarcasm and we change the subject?″

″That is an excellent idea, Doctor.″ Spock's voice was as dry as ever, but Leonard was positive he might have seen a hint of a smile cross his lips. ″As night has arrived and the outside temperatures have begun to fall, I propose that we endeavor to raise our internal temperatures again to combat the potential for chill.″

Jim raised his head from its perch and stared at Spock for a moment before turning to meet Leonard's eyes. ″Did he just proposition us?″

″Yeah, kid,″ Leonard replied with a grin and reached for Spock's hand, pressing their fingers together. ″I'd say he did.″
