It was another day in the USS enterprise. The crew were all busy working on the bridge. Captain Kirk hadn't shown up. He was late again. Kirk had a bad habit of being late to everything.

The doors made a swooshing noise as Kirk stepped out and onto the bridge. He was wearing earbuds. The crew all turned to him and gave Jim a weird look. It was a mixture of expressions. Sulu gave the Captain a weird look like "wtf is happening". Chekov was looking at Sulu. Uhura had a grin on her face. And Spock had his eyebrow raised.

Kirk didn't notice all the looks he was getting. Last night he found an old singer called "Michael Jackson". He listened to one of his songs called "Billie Jean" and fell in love with the artist. Kirk thinks he's got an addiction with the artist. So he decided to listen to his music during Alpha shift cause why not.

He had made a playlist of all his songs.

About 15 minutes later a song called "Ben" started playing. He loved this song but at the same time it made him cry.

The lyrics started. "Ben the two of us need look no more" it said.

"We both found what we were looking for"

This song made Jim tear up every single time. It hasn't even got to the good part yet.

"With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone" the lyrics said as it got louder.

Jim was in his own world. He felt his vision start to blur from the tears. He just stared at the view ahead of him not looking at anyone.

"And you, my friend will see. You've got a friend in me"

Jim than felt the tears start to fall fast. He got really emotional when he listened to some songs. He sniffled and the crew members started looking at him. Jim didn't notice though. He was looking down at his lap as the tears were falling on his shirt.

"Captain, are you okay?" Sulu asked. Everyone turned to look at the Captain. Jim looked up fast. Everyone could tell he's been crying.

"N-no I'm f-fine" he replied stuttering. He didn't want to tell them he started crying because of a stupid song. The thing was though he related to the song. He grew up and had no friends. The only friends he had were the ones at Tarus IV.

Jim looked up, eyes wide. He just thought of Tarus IV. He had the worst memories their. The massacre had scarred him for life. All the bad memories started floating back in him. The very ones that had taken him years to forget.

Jim needed to go back to his quarters and think. He needed time to himself to cry about the memories. He couldn't hold back the tears that were falling.

Jim quickly wipes away the tears and stood up looking down so know one could see his face.

"Spock you have the conn" he said and ran out of the bridge. The crew stared at their Captain with wide eyes. They all knew he was crying. Spock stood and looked at Jim as he ran out. Spock didn't know if he should go after him or not. He decides he should.

"Sulu you have the common" he said and ran out after Jim. He was definitely worried about his friend.
                                   .........
Jim walked into his quarters close and locked himself in. He wasn't planning on leaving his room at all for the rest of the day. He just wanted to cry to himself. A few minutes later he heard knocking on his door. Jim decided not to answer it hoping the person knocking would assume he wasn't their. The knocking didn't stop.

"Jim?" He heard someone say. It sounded like Spock's voice. He didn't say anything and just curled up in a ball on his bed.

"Jim I know your in their, please open the door" Spock said. He sounded really worried and his voice was so soft. Jim knew he should open the door but he didn't. He hoped that Spock would just leave him alone but that wasn't the case.

Than the door opened up. "Dammit" Jim thought. Spock had used the override code.

As Spock walked in he noticed it was really dark. He than saw a lump on Jim's bed and assumed it was Jim.

"Jim?" Spock said quietly. He heard quiet sniffles.

"Lights at 70%" Spock said wanting to see what was wrong with the Captain. When the lights turned on he saw Jim curled up in a ball on the bed crying. He hid his face in his hands.

Jim's body looked so small. He noticed how skinny Jim actually was. He was pretty small for his age. At a young age of 21 he expected Jim to be taller than Spock was but that wasn't it.

"Jim what's wrong?" He said sounding concerned. But Jim just started crying again. Spock day on the bed and drew Jim close. They stayed like that for a while. Jim stopped crying and rested his head in the crook of Spock's neck finding comfort in it.

"Have you every heard of Tarus IV?" Jim asked quietly. He decided he should tell Spock about it since he'll want and answer for why he's been crying.

"Yes I'm familiar with it" Spock said. He wondered why Jim was bringing this up.

"I-I was their when it happened" Jim said. He continues talking. "My mother sent me to Tarus IV when I was young. I was their when the massacre happened. They use to beat me up every day" Jim said crying again.

"Jim everything will be alright" Spock said. He never knew he could care that much about a human being.

Jim explained everything to Spock. Spock felt really bad for Jim.

Jim rested his head on Spock's chest. Spock looked down at Jim. He looked up at Spock for a brief second before Spock kissed him. Jim suddenly felt happy. He kissed Spock back. They cuddled for the rest of the day.

It was all because of Michael Jackson.
