but what if christine chapel and jim kirk meant to have no-strings-attached wild barnburner type sex, only then something super embarrassing happened — like christine caught jim giving his dick a pep talk in the bathroom, or sloppy mantears occurred for an unjustified reason, or jim accidentally shouted his own name when he came — and christine had to request a transfer because she couldn’t look at him or even hear his voice on the shipwide broadcasts without cracking the fuck up and it was starting to freak patients out
jim says he ~doesn’t remember~ but that’s aspirational, he only wishes he didn’t; the truth is he relives it in the stunningly vivid technicolor of abject mortification pretty much whenever he closes his eyes
that’s my new headcanon, that makes this better for me
