( closed ) fly me to the moon
who: Jim Kirk & Victor Frankenstein
what: romantic weekend in the stars (literally)
when: early September
where: on the shuttle, up in space
warnings: some kinky sex
The shuttle isn't exactly the most romantic of transportations, but Jim has tried his best to make it look and feel comfortable and cozy. There's no actual bed, but he has set up a large mattress on the floor in the cargo bay area, with plenty of pillows and blankets, and he's hung a few curtains from the walls so the room doesn't look as cold with all the metal and hard edges all over. There's a box with a few things they might need, though he hasn't forgotten to stock up on supplies for an emergency situation, as well as enough food rations to last them a few weeks if something does happen. He doesn't think it will, but still.
For now Jim's sitting in the pilot seat, fastened securely into place as they cross the atmosphere and start on the smooth path taking them up into space. It's not too high up above the moon, but they get a nice view of both it and the Capitol World a little farther in the distance, and Jim makes sure to take on a steadier speed before turning on the autopilot, letting Victor take in the view for a while.

Ever since gaining his memories back, Victor had been fascinated with space travel. He felt giddy being able to finally do it, and all the better to do it with James. This was one of those times when the word "awesome" was appropriate.
Now that they were at a steady speed, he looked to his favorite view: James in his pilot's chair. "I love watching you work," he commented.
no subject
His eyes moved away from the panels finally, and he turned his chair just enough that he could look at Victor with a chuckle. "I think you just like to see me in my flight suit," he said. Which, admittedly, looked pretty great on him, so Jim couldn't really fault him for that.
no subject
He rose from his seat so he could stand by the chair, looking down at the panels. "So.... what are all these for?"
no subject
He glanced at the controls, pointing at the first command. "Well, here's where you get all the information you need. Speed, altitude, pressure, temperature, power, life support— so on. You can adjust your settings accordingly if need be. That's the autopilot panel, and the manual controls are right in front of both pilot seats, although autopilot is much safer once you've reached a certain altitude. You can still put in new coordinates if you want to change direction and the shuttle will adjust the course accordingly."
no subject
"Which one do we press for the anti-gravity?" Traveling in space was amazing and all, but the inner child in him wanted to float.
no subject
Before anything else, he drew the shuttle to a halt, letting it fall into orbit around the moon. Once he checked all the systems and was sure that it'd be safe, he got up from his seat too and pointed at one of the controls. "There. touch the command on that screen when you're ready."
no subject
When he was ready, he released the chair and slowly piloted himself around, doing casual turns in the air and catching James when the other was close. He grinned, wrapping his arms around James's neck.
no subject
"And I'm floating in the most peculiar way," he hummed the lyrics to the song, brushing his fingers through Victor's hair. His own was moving up in the air, swimming around as though he was underwater.
no subject
"Though I would never insult your shuttle by calling it a tin can," Victor added.
no subject
"Well, if Bowie can call it a tin can, so can you," he said with a chuckle, stealing a kiss from Victor's lips.
no subject
Though as much as he would like to keep doing this, his medical practicality kicked in. He steered his way back to the controls. "Ready to get back on your feet?" he asked.
no subject
"Yeah," he nodded, grabbing the back of his chair and putting his feet as close to the ground as he could manage. He was still going to wobble a little, but at least he wouldn't fall over and hit his head on some sharp corner. "I'm ready."
no subject
"Not sure how often I'd want to do that," he admitted with a shaky smile, "but it was fun." Victor realized he was still gripping onto the chair and forced his fingers to relax. "Yeah, that's definitely an 'in small doses' activity."
no subject
"Yeah— very small doses," he agreed. "Though I've been in a few zero gravity situations before, and they were definitely not fun. As long as it's like this, I don't mind."
no subject
"I'd hope so." He held onto the other man until he felt like he was oriented again, and even then he kept their hands clasped. "Still, it's amazing just floating around like that. Kind of like flying. And you're my happy thought."
A little cheesy, he knew, but he also knew James would love that.
no subject
"Sadly I don't have any pixie dust on me," he shrugged. "But if zero gravity does the trick for you, then I think we can do without."

"Throwing you assumes I can pick you up," Victor commented. "I know I've been working out, but I don't think I can manage that just yet."

"I brought some clothes, obviously," he gestured to their bag. "And some food, but most of it is rations. Easier for a trip like this."
no subject
Curious about what clothes James brought along, Victor started going through the bag. He wasn't too surprised to find the underwear he bought to flatter his ass and crotch.
"This is why I love you," Victor declared, holding up the underwear. "You're not subtle."
