You are NOT my father [Locked to adm_chris_pike]

[iamnotmyfather]

He'd managed to lose his older self, which in turn lost the Admiral. There was no way he was going to let those two ruin his fun. So he heads out and gets drunk off his ass and while drunk he ends up getting a nice lovely tattoo along the center of his back. It should've hurt, but it didn't. Though that was probably because he was drunk off his ass and wasn't really thinking straight. Not like he actually had a brand to say he was an owned man. Teen... whatever...

But after getting the tattoo, he just heads out with the intent to have a bit more fun.

Except that Admiral Pike was waiting for him as he left the tattoo shop and he grabs James by the arm tightly, glaring at him angrily.

"Scotty, two to beam up. Now."

Several seconds later they are on the platform in the transporter room and Pike pulls James with him down from it and off towards their quarters. Once inside he lets go of James but continues to glare at him.

"What the hell do you think you were doing, boy?"

The Admiral being there was not something that he'd expected, not one damn bit. Though... OW, that grip on his arm hurt like a bit and so did being practically dragged back to their quarters once they were back on the ship.

"I was having fun, that's what I was doing."

"Really? Getting drunk and tattooed equates to fun? You're not of age to be drinking or getting tattooed without permission from a legal guardian. Now. Get the shirt off so i can see what you've done to yourself."

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it does equate to fun." Though at the demand to remove his shirt, those blue eyes narrow. "No, you're not my father." He says firmly, seeing his older self come into the room.

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

"I'm the closest thing you've got right now and you're going to learn to do as I say and that can be done the easy way or the hard way. Now. Take off the damn shirt."

He knows his own slave has entered the room but he doesn't say anything, intent on the younger version at the moment.

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

"And I told you no." He grounds out. "You'll keep your hands to yourself too." He's going to ignore his older self and the fact that the older him had moved closer to him.

Pike was not in the mood for this and he reached out, grabbing the boy by both arms and pulling him forward, trapping the boy's wrists with one hand while his other hand stripped the shirt from James' body. He saw the tattoo on the boy's back and shook his head.

"Well that's interesting," he growled out softly. "Have you not ever been told that no mark goes on your body except the one your Master gives you? And being as that seems to be me right now, I don't recall giving you any sort of permission to mark yourself." He finally turned to his own Jim.

"Bring me the cuffs and the whip both. Now." He's not playing around. The boy needs to learn this lesson hard and painfully fast.

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

"Get the hell off of me!" The teen yells trying to jerk his arms out of that tight grip. "No, I've never been told that. I'm NOT owned by anyone damn you. I'm not some slave who has a Master." He snaps, although at the mention of cuffs and the whip, he tries to jerk away more. "LET GO!"


"Yes, sir." Jim says moving into their bedroom and grabbing the cuffs and the whip, giving a slight shiver before moving back into the other room. "Here you go, sir."

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

"I recall telling you that as long as you were on this ship you belonged to me. You stay in these quarters and you sleep in the same bed as Jim and I do. Therefore, I am your Master until I decide to either free you or give you to someone else and I doubt the second it ever going to happen." he took the cuffs from James and secured them to the boy's wrists, jerking the boy a little more to secure the cuffs to the s-hook in the room. He took the whip from James next and set it to one side.

"I'm giving you a few minutes to think about what you've done and then I'll be back." He was giving the boy alone time with James while he went and changed clothes...

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

He jerks at the cuffs, glaring at Pike's retreating back but it lacked conviction. Those eyes turn to his older self, even as he jerks on the cuffs a bit more. "He can't do this." He's trying to be brave but he's scared out of his mind. "It isn't right."

"He wouldn't have to if you'd of just listened to him. If you wanted to have fun, you should've said something to us and we'd of all gone together."

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

He listens to his boy talking to the younger version of himself as he changes out of his tunic and pants and into more civillian clothing. He will give them a few more minutes but then he'll have James leave. There's not need for his slave to be here for this. The younger boy needs to know that only Pike controls what happens here; not Jim.

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

"You two are older then me, you two don't know fun." James states, the teenager had that view on things. "He can't do this. He's not my father."

"He's the only family we have, James." Jim says softly. "You'll learn to appreciate him. He's better then Frank."

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

Pike stops for a moment not sure of what to say to that... or even think for that matter. James had never told him that before... gods... was he really better than Frank? Didn't he do basically the same as that monster had done to the boys? He stood there in shock for a moment, not quite sure what to do now...

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

"How the hell is he better then Frank?" The teen snaps. "All he does is hurt you."

"That's where you're wrong, James." Jim says with a small smile. "There's a big difference between him and Frank. That difference being that the Admiral actually cares and he shows it. Even after the punishments, he holds me. Everything is normally forgiven, a clean slate. Like I said, he's better then Frank."

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

That seems to sober Pike up a little bit more and he's able to take a shaky breath and finish dressing. Jim's right. He does care. He has to remember to make that point to the younger boy. He returns to the room and lays a hand on his boy's shoulder.

"Jim, you need to go," he says quietly. "This is between myself and James..."

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

"That's not..." James starts, giving a low frown.

"You'll see." Jim says, though he frowns a bit when he's told to go, but he nods and kisses his Master. Once he's done that, he heads down to bother Bones. He knows that his Master will know where he's gotten off to.

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

Pike waits for the door to close before he turns back to James.

"I want you to know that I don't do this just to hurt you, James. I do this because I care about you; about your well being and your safety and I just want you to be a better person and running around getting into trouble, drinking underage, getting tattooed, etcetera, isn't going to help you. Now. Let's try this the easy way one more time. Just... tell me what you did wrong, tell me you're sorry for it and this can be a lot easier than it's going to be otherwise."

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

That gets a slight laugh out of the teen, he's trying to hold back the tears, the fear of the whole matter. "I don't think it'd be a lot easier, because you'd still end up hurting me." But if all he had to do was apologize... Not that he believed this man cared for his safety. Just Jim's not his.

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

"I will punish you, yes," Pike said softly as he moved around in front of James. "You deserve that for what you did, especially for running off without telling us where you're going. But it doesn't have to be as bad as it would be right now. Just... admit that what you did was wrong, James. You know it was... you are scared to death right now and I don't blame you. But I do care about you and not just because of Jim, either. I care about you and I do not want you to get into trouble or taken away from me or this ship because once that happens, I can't protect you from other Masters who will only use you because of your name."

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

More like beat me. He thinks, his eyes going to the whip before looking back at the Admiral. We're sure that Jim would say the whip was a bit much considering his younger self's age, but he'd not say it to his Master's face. "Fine, I was wrong. I fucked up. That what you want to hear? Because Frank sure as hell loved hearing it before beating me."

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

Pike has to step back for a moment, closing his eyes and counting to ten mentally before speaking.

"I am not Frank," he growls out. "Nor am I anything like him. I never have been and I never will be. Is that what you think of me, James? You think I'm no better than your step father who looked for any and every reason to beat you down or sexually abuse you? That's really what you think? Guess it's what my own Jim thinks as well, huh?" He shakes his head and moves, throwing the whip back into the chest it came from before he moves and unhooks James from the s-hook.

"You know what, fine. Go ahead and do whatever yuo want then if that's the way you want things to be. Sleep wherever you want, with whomever you want. Get drunk, get yourself marked up by someone you don't know with marks that don't mean a fucking thing. Get yourself lost on some god-forsaken planet where no one will know where you are and get left behind for someone like Komack to get their hands on you. Then you'll fucking wish you'd listened to me. So, fine. Go. I won't be likened to a man who never gave a damn for you or loved you when I could give you ten times the amount of love and care he ever could." He turns his back on James then and stormed out of his quarters, not even caring that his own Jim was standing just outside.

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

James watches him before rubbing his wrists after he's unhooked. But the words that the Admiral were throwing at him makes it feel like he'd just put sucker punched or worse. He didn't think it would hurt so much to have someone say something like that. For the longest time, he stays put right where he's at, stunned to where he can't do a thing.

Reaching up he angrily wipes away the tears, then turns and heads out after the Admiral, even if he doesn't know what the hell to say. But he isn't going anywhere, he's not... "I don't want to go." He hates that it sounds so damn small. He doesn't want to be left behind somewhere and he doesn't want to leave his older self or the Admiral. He just... he doesn't know anything more then the pain that Frank caused him and he can't see someone else caring.

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

Pike stops mid-stride as he hears the boy's voice behind him. He doesn't turn around yet, though. He's still hurting and trying to calm himself down. Footsteps tell him that his own Jim has probably followed as well.

"Then what do you want, James?" he asks evenly.

[iamnotmyfather.livejournal.com]

James doesn't like that even tone, it reminds him too much of... God, he frowns and closes his eyes so he doesn't have to see their faces. Or at least so he doesn't have to see his older self's face. It's quiet but...

"I want to stay with you two."

[adm-chris-pike.livejournal.com]

Pike seems to relax a little with those words and he finally turns around to look at the boy carefully.

"Are you going to follow my rules?
