7th World: [ voice/video ] A Question of the Mind

[ The image presented on the screen shows a Kirk that looks like he probably just got up. He doesn't have enough hair for it to look to messy, but somehow it manages it, and his eyes look bleary. He runs a hand over his face and sighs. ]

Okay, how badly do you need therapy when even you have to admit that you need therapy?

Of course you can't, you let him back inside your mind. I'm a little afraid of asking, but what happened this time?

He went inside mine and I went inside his. It's not... I'm sure it's not the way you're imagining it.

And nothing happened. I showed him the way I formed up people in my mind and he showed me is. That's all.

I don't think I understand at all, Kirk. What exactly are you doing when you "form up people." And don't sit there and tell me nothing happened when you're considering therapy on the matter.

Like... think about an inner, private space. I dunno, it's how he taught me to meditate, to go to this place and make it my own and it's a place for me to think and also be with people I care about.

[That made more sense. Vegeta meditates too, but he's never done it with someone else, ever.] And you honestly have to share that space with another being at the same time? But I suppose that point is moot as far as the two of you are concerned. [He's still a little grossed out by this. Not as bad as before though.] I still don't see why you like meditating in that fashion.

Well, we don't have to. We can do it on our own. When we do it together it's called a mind meld.

A mind meld? [That sounds awful. Like fusion.] Is that in the sense that your minds become one, with a singular thought process?

Uh, no, not at all. I am totally my own person, he is his own person too. It's just an easier way to share thoughts.

And you wonder why you think you're in love with him? [Come on Kirk, let's be logical about this. ~~Isn't that what Spock would want?~~] You find men attractive, you share your own private space with him, you're practically together as is from the sounds of it.

We-what-?!

First off, I find girls as attractive as men, and I don't actively seek out male partners. Seriously, I managed to get some on Valentine's.

_{[ Okay, so he had had male partners, but all of those times his judgement had been seriously impaired and not his own fault. Stupid Malnosso...]}

And I'm not in love with Spock! He's my crew mate and my best friend!

Uh uh. [He's totally not convinced on that matter.] You're having a breakdown because you can't figure out how you feel about him after that whole kissing incident, you consider therapy- come now Kirk, I'm not stupid. Why don't you just accept it so you can save yourself a lot of embarrassment when you inevitably tell the entire village indirectly that you can't figure out if you are in love with your best friend.

You're practically humiliating yourself with this broadcast.

I am not and it is not like that! Just because you know what it's about doesn't mean everyone does and I am sincerely regretting letting you in on that you jerk.

_{[ Shut up, he needs tough love, doesn't mean he has to like it. ]}

And it's not like I ask for this! I just got told about it after the fact! I'm not into relationships! I don't do them, ask anyone I've ever been with!

_{[ Which... was a lot. Don't ask about that though. ]}

[He cannot believe he is having this argument at all. It felt like such a waste of time but getting Kirk on edge was making it slightly worth it.]

I wasn't the one begging for you to let me in on your little crisis. But since you decided to share I'll at least be honest with you on the matter. You'd be surprised how quickly your mind can be changed about a mate. I had to learn the hard way, trust me. [You know, by dying.] But that's besides the point.

I also like how you continuously argue with me even though you yourself just stated that you can't get over these ridiculous feelings you have. [He laughs at his next thought, because it was a humiliating thought to him at least. And he can't help but give Kirk some shit after their last conversation.] Why don't you try kissing him again and see how you feel after that?

I did not beg. That is your twisted little imagination at work right there. And I will believe you have learned a lesson the day I see it for myself.

And- I am not - that won't be - leave the suggestions to people with half a brain and less hair!

[Oh no, he's not getting upset now, this was too good.]

I don't see why you can't just take the suggestion from someone with a fully functional brain like myself. And I do have less hair, you should have seen how long it used to be. So I fit both of those qualifications quite well, I'd say.

It's ok to be in denial. But that will only last so long. I don't see why you have to push him away since he apparently loves you so much and you would end up returning the favor anyhow, but I guess you're too stupid to know the difference. Your therapy will only tell you exactly what I'm saying now. [He has decided. He is totally hooking them up if he can, just because it's just too good to see Kirk messed up right now. And besides, if he's successful no one's hurt in the end right? If he's not he gets to troll Kirk forever.]

_{[ You are a horrible person Vegeta. Horrible. If your wife ever comes he is going to tell so hard on you. Let her deal with your trolling monkey butt.

For now is going to glare daggers at you. You would be dead if looks could actually produce daggers, that is how hard he is glaring. He just doesn't want to admit he cares, or that he can. Home life wasn't very conducive to making him okay with this sort of relationship.]}

He's not in love with me. He can't be. He tolerates me, most of the time. I mean, we're friends, yeah, but we're just... we're just friends. That's all older Spock said we were...

He's not? That's why you two had locked lips, huh? [He just cackles at that.] I'd say he very much likes you! Believe it or not that Vulcan is very much capable of emotion, I've seen it myself! I might of...ruffled his feathers a little. [He grins wickedly, because he's a jerk and he likes to egg people on like that.

Oh that was a good idea. It just came to him.]

In fact I don't think he liked what I said to him. I can't tell you how much I delight in making him angry. And you met him from another dimension? Are you sure that's what he meant? You seem unsure. If I didn't know any better it sounded like he was dropping a hint!

_{[ His eyes flash in the video and he seems to round on Vegeta. ]}

Hey! What did I tell you about Spock? I thought I warned you not to mess with him!

What? I thought I wasn't supposed to speak badly of him in front of you. Now I didn't say anything bad, now did I? I just said we had a little argument is all, and he got a little upset. Why?

Does that...bother you?

Damn straight, it does! He's my crew mate, and I already told you not to mess with him - in front of me or to his face or to anyone else. You got that?

Wow, you're pretty offended. Well I'll tell you what! Why don't I do the two of you a favor and see if I can find him a girlfriend instead, will that make up for my mistreatment of your best friend?

Or will that make you jealous?

He has a damn girlfriend. Her name is Uhura, she's on my ship too.

_{[And was that part of the problem? Knowing he was with Uhura? Kirk was a playboy, but he was not a cheat and he certainly respected the boundaries of girlfriend/fiancee/wife and so on. ]}

You speak like that's a bad thing. [His voice could not be dripping more sarcasm right now.] Are you sure you're ok with such a relationship occurring on your ship?

I have a feeling you might not.

I have nothing against it! So long as he doesn't let it interfere with how he does his job, it's not my problem. I mean, yeah, it's against regulations, but I'm not good with authority anyways.

[He just chuckles.]

That's not what I was referring to.
