Shut up. [ He can handle the teasing well enough, he just can't handle it very gracefully. His lips descend into that familiar frown, the one that always seems to be pointed at Jim whenever he says something Bones disapproves of.

He's petty enough to want to argue just for the sake of making a point. But he won't. He holds that temptation back as he listens, grunting in agreement when Jim offers not to pull rank for the remainder of the night. ]

It's only bad when you're in trouble. [ Or laid up in medbay and trying to sneak out without Bones' noticing. Not that he has to worry about that now, with his hand continuing to rub circles against the younger man's side. ]

How about you make me, tough guy. [ He knows Bones can handle it. He wouldn't do it otherwise. That's why that frown makes him half-chuckle. He really doesn't handle it with any amount of grace at all. It's cute, though. At least Jim thinks so. ]

You sound like a caveman, use your words, Bones. [ He grins as he says it, but then he finally says something intelligible. ] We both know trouble is a state of being for me. It's like Spock's eyebrow going up when he's annoyed, you just know it's gonna happen.

I guess right now you're lucky that trouble isn't on my mind. [ Mischief maybe. Definitely, actually. ]

[ He's almost tempted to take Jim up on that offer. He might have, if the stubborn part of him wasn't holding him back. If he wasn't refusing to let himself give in, to give the man beside him the satisfaction. His frown deepens, making that frustration apparent. ]

I said fine, god! [ Is that better? It better be, the man's already descending back to unintelligible grumbling, his attention skirting away from Jim down to the glass resting atop his lap. He takes a sip, relishing in the burn and warmth of the brandy as it slides down his throat. When he finishes, he lets out a dry huff. ]

Should I be worried?

[ Jim takes the opportunity to lean up a bit, when he sees the frown deepen, and the wrinkle in his brow becomes apparent, to kiss the spot softly. ]

You're too easy to rile up, sometimes. [ It's a gentle admonishment, friendly and amused. He chuckles into his glass as he takes a sip of his own, offering a wink in Bones's direction as he speaks. ]

When have I ever given you cause to worry?

[ Plenty of times, but that isn't the point. ]
