He's woken by soft kisses on his temples - one, two, so gentle that they only give the slightest hint of sound as Jim's lips leave his skin. The gradual lightening of his room (Jim had gone to his quarters the first day they actually were allowed back on the Enterprise, and set the lights so they dim and brighten according to the light levels in Georgia during the day) shows itself as fuzzy grey behind Leonard's eyelids, and he doesn't want to move, to wake up, it's too early and Leonard had had enough of missing Jim because of their opposite shifts.

A weight is felt on his chest, and Leonard can tell by the lack of pressure on his hips that Jim's holding himself above him, using the strength in his arms to hold himself just high enough to not squash Leonard, but low enough to move the kisses to the corners of his jaw. Leonard knows that if he moves his head to the side he'll brush with the ridged gold emblems that make up Jim's shirt, and feel the material shift against the taught muscles on Jim's body as he always forgets to put an undershirt on - says he's too busy in the morning to do so, and often ends up ripping his command shirt and exposing his chest to the rest of the ship and whatever people are shooting at them that week.

The kisses grow longer as they move closer to Leonard's lips, and Leonard can feel Jim's arms trembling slightly with the effort of holding him up. The space between the sounds of Jim placing his lips on Leonard's skin and removing them grows longer and longer, and Leonard knows that Jim is still slightly on autopilot and is falling back to sleep himself, won't have woken up properly till Janice puts the steaming cup of coffee next to his elbow - cooled enough that Jim won't scald his tongue when he reaches out blindly and tries to drink it all at once.

The kisses stop just short of Bones' lips, Jim paused on the corner which is slightly upturned, and Leonard can feel Jim's breath against his face, soft and snuffley - another sign of how long Jim has actually been awake. Leonard twists his head slightly and feels Jim's lips connect with his, fit perfectly like they have done all these years. Jim smiles, wakes up enough to move his lips against Leonard's, and Leonard lifts his hand up enough to curl around the back of Jim's neck where the shirt meets his fluffy hair that Jim only brushes when he's careening out the door at breakneck speed.

They lay for a long moment simply kissing, taking the time to be together after a long week of different shifts, and it's only till the alarm on the bedside table starts to beep quietly that Jim sighs, lifting his head from where it had lain as he kissed Leonard. He moves slightly, and lifts himself up from where his arms had given up holding him up and had let Jim sink into Leonard's hold. He looks into Leonard's eyes, and Leonard blearily looks back - he has only been asleep for about an hour and a bit, and he's just able to make out the shock of bed-hair glinting in the 'dawn' light, eyes faint blue in the grey of the room. Jim smiles, and the crook of his smile makes Leonard twist his hand on Jim's neck along so he can brush the corner of that crook with his thumb.

Jim closes his eyes briefly, leans into Bones' touch, and then shakes himself.

"You should be asleep Bones" is quietly rasped out into the silent room, and Leonard huffs slightly, looking at Jim.

"And you should be heading out to your shift Jim."

Jim smiles back, and leans forward to kiss Leonard long on the lips, lets his tongue dart out to touch the curve of Leonard's lips where they turn over to the inside of his mouth.

"See you about lunch, I'll bring the coffee" Jim says as he removes himself, and Leonard feels the weight on his chest disappear as Jim levers himself on the bed, stretching and running a hand through his hair to make it less all-over-the-place. Leonard smiles, and stretches in bed, rolling over to his side where he can watch Jim leave the room.

"See you Jim ..." is muttered sleepily as Leonard burrows into the bed, nose touching Jim's pillow where he can smell the slight smell of Jim that still lingers on the pillow. His eyes stay open long enough to see Jim smile and wave his hand slightly before padding out the room as quietly as he can with boots on, and flutter shut as he tries to get some more sleep before his shift.
