[ He smiles a little wider again, catching Victor's wrist in his hand, thumb brushing across the skin. Heaving out a soft sigh, he continues. ]
Actually... the truth is, before I came here, me and my crew got into some trouble. The Enterprise crashed, she was completely totalled. We managed to find a way back to the nearest starbase, but... I don't actually have a ship back home, at the moment.
[his skin is tingling from the contact, but not so much he can't concentrate on what James is saying. He tries to imagine how that would feel, having a place you love completely destroyed. And he nearly scoffs as all the times Storybrooke was attacked come to mind]
I'm sorry. But... I'm not very sorry that the captain didn't go down with the ship. What about your crew?
I should have. [ For all the horrible things Khan did, he was right about one thing: No ship should go down without her Captain. ] I almost did, actually.
[ He presses his lips thinly, head canting just so. ] Most of them made it. But— not everyone. Even those who got out through escape pods were captured and taken in by hostile forces on the planet, and...
[ He remember Ensign Syl suddenly, and his breath stutters a little. He shakes his head. ] It was a mess.
[he doesn't know what to say. So this is how James understood Victor's pain of loss: he too lost those he was responsible for, ones he should have protected but couldn't.
His lab, this ship. They aren't just the places Victor and James love the most-- they're the places the two man have felt devastating loss]
You don't need me to tell you this, but you can do so much good in this world. In any world you set foot on. Those ghosts wouldn't want you to carry them forever.
[maybe James has forgiven himself, Victor doesn't know. But if anyone knows anything about holding onto guilt and blame, it's the doctor]
[ It's only one of the ways that Jim's experienced loss, but it's true. Losing people on his crew has always been hard on him, all the more so when he hasn't really ever opened up to anyone about it.
Victor's right— Jim doesn't need to hear it. But he still likes to, anyway. It soothes him, and he smiles warmly at Victor's comforting words. ]
Neither would yours. [ He catches both of Victor's hands, pulling him in close. ] You can do some good in this world, too.
[it's terrifying, how James makes him feel. How did a random message on a friendr profile turn into this? He liked James from the start but this... What's the word for it? A crush? Smitten?]
In other words, baby. Kiss me.
[he doesn't wait for James to obey: Victor leans in to do it himself]
[ Jim lets out a soft laugh at that, grinning wide as Victor leans in, lips still stretched into a smile even as they kiss. His insides do a funny little twist but it's overall a pleasant feeling. He doesn't even try to fight it.
He cups Victor's face in his hands, keeping him in place as he kisses him back, tasting his lips with a soft hum. ]
[he lets out a soft sigh of contentment, sliding his arms around the captain. They aren't really on James's ship any more than they were really in Victor's lab, but he feels like they've gotten closer by sharing these pieces of their home with each other.
Victor had said he wanted to know James body and mind. Somehow they've both agreed to also know each other's hearts. And that makes him really, incredibly happy]
[ It always etches a smile across his lips when Victor sighs like that whenever they kiss, and this time it's no different. He nips lightly at Victor's lips, tongue dragging softly across them right after, breaking the kiss after a few seconds even though he doesn't put any actual physical distance between them. ]
I'm glad we shared this. [ A little bit of their homes, and their stories. It doesn't make Jim feel vulnerable. It makes him feel closer, and he likes that feeling. ]
[he groans, pressing a little closer. The need he has to be close to James right now feels comparable to when he was tripping on that colored powder. He's shared more with this man than anyone. It's terrifying.
[ He manages to hold back a soft gasp at that reaction, biting a little on his lower lip and closing his eyes. His lips stay close to Victor's, not really kissing him but not completely breaking the contact just yet. ]
We should... [ He purrs warmly against Victor's mouth, closing his eyes. The doctor's fingers curling into his hair are making it very hard for him to think straight right now. ] Should go. Get, uh... dinner, maybe. Before I decide to make a mess of you on my Captain's chair.
[he smiles, squeezing the hand and lets James tug him along. He will insist on being the one to buy them dinner. And he might stop them along the way to buy a flower. He just can't let go of the thought that this is a good idea]

Sounds wonderful to me. Come on, then.
[ He catches Victor's hand and tugs him along, so they can leave the holosuite for now and go for that dinner. ]
