[ All Jim knows is Bones is acting off all of a sudden and it's really weird, ok? Super weird. ]

You know, one day you're gonna have to go on an actual starship. I think that's the day you actually do throw up on me. Which is gross, by the way.

[ The laugh his best friend's comment pulls from him at that comment is vibrant, and he grins wide enough to hurt his cheeks. ]

I could get into trouble in a convent. It could go either way, nuns are hot. But have you seen some of the priests? That's gotta be some kind of crime, but hey, bless me father for I have sinned. Come on, it's a joke. [ Mostly. He shrugs a bit. ] Maybe I'll go down to Tijuana and see if it is all it is cracked up to be.

Yeah, well. Better it be you than someone else. [ At least he knows Jim would forgive him for it. That's more than he could say for anyone else, much less some unsuspecting stranger. And yeah, he would feel a little guilty about it, but he doesn't feel guilty about making Jim think he'd only throw up on him because he's a little shit that deserves it.

That's what he's hoping to convey, anyway, with the way he shrugs his shoulders. Unsympathetic to the man's plea, and even more so, when he makes those subsequent comments. Bones has to fight the urge to drop his head in his hands. ]

I doubt that. [ He knows you, Jim. ] I don't know where the convents are around, but maybe we could go to a church. See if it's true that someone can burst into flame while steppin' through. I'll bring an extinguisher for you. [ Now that is a joke. An incredibly morbid and dry one, but that's to be expected, coming from Bones. ]

And you're fine with that, just spendin' the whole break alone?

[caelus]

That's so gross. [ Yeah, he already said it, but it bears repeating. ]

Oh, it is a joke! I mean, it's also true, cause I'd totally be down for that, but that doesn't make it less of a joke. [ He tilts his head and watches as Bones elaborates on what they could do, then laughs. ] Aww, for me? Such a gentleman.

I mean, I'll call ma, but yeah. It's what I always do.

[ Bones still doesn't seem entirely convinced. But that might just be because he wants to give Jim a hard time, by throwing a side-eye glance at him from across the room. ]

Nah. I jus' don't want the building to burn down, is all. [ Saving his best friend would only just be a happy consequence of that. It's not like Bones actually cares about him or anything. He almost wishes that he didn't, maybe then he wouldn't be getting so worked up about this holiday break thing. The doctor sighs a bit. ]

You know that's not much of a Christmas, kid.

[caelus]

[ That it was joke or not? Come on. ]

Oh, ouch. That's cold. [ Jim doesn't believe it for a second though. He knows Bones would totally save him. ]

I wouldn't know, would I? Never really had one. Unless---[ He trails briefly, getting a little somber as he thinks about the few times with his big brother that weren't awful thanks to Frank or their ma being gone. But he doesn't talk about that. ]---nope. Never really had one.
