Work Text:
It's early in the morning in the academy’s mess hall and Jim's already fully awake- unlike Bones, who had spent most of the night working at the medical center. However, Jim also can't deal with his heartache any longer so he just nudges sleepy, grumpy Bones's elbow and goes like: "Bones, there's someone I have a giant crush on but he doesn't seem to notice me. ...Or isn't interested, I don't know. It hurts, y'know?"
And Bones looks up from his (giant) mug of coffee, looks at him through bleary eyes, and - mentally not fully awake, but awake enough to wonder what idiot would not at least notice if Jim Kirk showed him his interest - only replies sleepily, somewhat pissed off: "Jus' punch him in the face then, Jim" before yelping at the pain that suddenly flashes through his cheek.
He is rubbing his cheek, coffee all forgotten by now, staring at his best friend, before muttering "I am such an idiot" and taking Jim's head into both his hands and finally kissing him.
