Waiting for the lights

“And this is my husband, Sam.”At the name and the eyes accompanying it, Jim felt like he had been punched in the gut, all breath knocked out of him.Those familiar eyes looked at him, unrecognising.The softest brown infused with specks of green, as if they held the new spring growth inside. They were the forest floor and the gentle flowers, somewhere to rest and breathe. They were Jim’s childhood. Late night talks and Chinese take away in secret.The eyes of his older brother, George Samuel Kirk jr.Sammy.orAfter weeks of boredom, Jim was basically bouncing off the walls of the Enterprise. Finally they get a mission and suddenly he is faced with a ghost from his past. Someone who had left him 15 years ago, someone who was supposed to look after him and protect him, someone he had missed with every fibre of his being for years.Sam Kirk, his older brother.
