Jim almost jumped out of his skin when a pair of arms sneaked around him, holding him in place while he was cooking and for the first time in days minding his own business instead of being all around the place.
"Bones!" he exclaimed, willing his heartbeat to slow down a little. No need to get a heart-attack, even if it's a doctor who would be its cause. It was actually quite funny to have Bones cuddle like that - because just few hours ago Bones yelled at him to keep his hands to himself damit.
He allowed himself to relax into Bones' arms, stirring the sauce he was making for dinner. His special version of bolognese sauce - with the secret ingredients passed on to him by grandpa Tiberius - that Bones liked when they were on Earth for a shore leave.
"What brought this up, Leonard?" he said, stressing the name playfully.
Bones leant his head on Jim shoulder. "Shh..." he breathed, "no talking - just hugging."
Jim smiled a bit as he was finishing the sauce. Not a word was spoken late into the night, when they fell asleep in each other arms.
