Jim gives his Master an apologetic look and rubs his younger self's back as they slip back into the bed. "I think this is all overwhelming for him, sir. He's not used to having someone give a damn about him." He's pretty damn sure that's what it is for James.
James isn't paying attention to what his older self is saying, he just curls up and clings to Pike like the guy was the very breath he breathed. A part of him wanted the damn universe to swallow him whole, to make it all go away and make it all make sense. None of it did though. "But I..." He'd hurt Pike by saying that, he shouldn't of.
