Title: Better Left Unsaid
Prompt: 54. Kirk and Uhura, secret
Genre: Gen, angst
Rating: PG/K+
Characters: Uhura, Kirk
Pairings: None
Word count: 100
Spoilers/Warnings: Implied abuse of a child.

Summary: Uhura never wanted to know this much about Jim Kirk.

If there's one secret she's never wanted to know, this is it.

They're stranded on some abandoned planet, beamed down by the Klingons who had captured them. Kirk's wounded and delirious, and she's doing the best she can to keep him alive until help arrives.

The tears sting at her eyes as she tries to ease him out of his horrible childhood memories. She sees how he winces, even in near-unconsciousness, as she traces the old scars littering his bare chest and back.

It may explain aspects of his behavior, but Uhura decides she'd would've been happy never knowing everything about Jim Kirk.

Awww. Poor Kirk and Uhura :(

Mind me asking where you got the prompt from?

I got the prompt from the first Star Trek Reboot Drabble Challenge - http://yahtzee63.livejournal.com/404795.html (This is one of the prompts I've modified a little, just so ya know.)

Glad you liked it!
