Chris Pine opened his trailer door
to the late afternoon California
sunshine, quickly pulling on his Lipow sunglasses to block out the glare.
Bounding down the trailer steps, he jogged over to William Shatner's trailer.
Chris wished he had the kind of clout Shatner had to get the thirty-eight foot deluxe
motor home complete with brushed-stainless appliances, Corian counters and
cherry-wood cabinetry. He wondered if Bill even knew how to use the satellite
dish that came with the unit. Ah, the fun Zach and he could have with that if
they had been given their own top-of-the-line trailer. It seemed that the old
Kirk and Spock still reigned supreme with the brass at Paramount.
Bill was on the set to film his
scenes for the new Star Trek movie, reprising his role as the original Captain
Kirk. In the two years since the first movie premiered, J.J. Abrams had worked
tirelessly to get Shatner involved in the sequel, their representatives finally
working out a script that Bill signed off on. Today's scene had involved Spock,
Kirk and Spock!Prime finding out Kirk!Prime was alive and being held hostage by
Khan
Noonien Singh. It was the third day of filming for the quartet, and they had
quickly fallen into a nice working rhythm, although Chris envied Bill and
Leonard's seamless flow, and the ease in which they fell in and out of
character. After just two weeks back at work, Zach and he were still trying to
find Kirk and Spock's voices after so long away from the characters. Maybe in
forty years, they'd be old hats at this like Bill and Leonard. Chris smiled at
the thought of Zach and him, forty years from now, running after Romulans; Zach
in a pair of granny glasses because of his bad eyesight and Chris, with a cane
because of his bad back.
Still lost in his own thoughts about the future,
Chris forgot to knock before he opened the door to Bill's trailer and stepped
inside. Two seconds later, Chris stood motionless in the middle of the trailer,
his eyes glued to the right of him and the two men on the J-shaped sofa.
Correction, make that one man on the cream colored leather couch and the other
on his knees on the carpet.
Apparently he'd never realized Leonard's mouth
was that talented. Or Bill's cock-
Turning blindly, Chris stumbled as he tried to
escape. His clumsy movements broke the concentration of the two men engaged in
each other. Chris' startled blue eyes met gray ones, and Bill's face broke not
into embarrassment, but rather into amusement. Then he actually had the
audacity to grin, a big wide smirk that held a spark of eroticism while telling
Leonard, "That's it, Len, right there. Suck it, baby."
Chris fled.
* * * *
This time Chris knocked. Zach yelled,
"Enter!"
Chris quickly walked over to the dinette where
Zach was sitting, working on a Sudoku puzzle. He waited for Zach to look up.
And waited and waited.
He shifted indignantly from foot to foot. He knew
Zach considered his Sudoku time sacrosanct, but this was important.
It seemed like hours later to Chris, but finally
Zach put the puzzle book down, and said, "Yes, Chris?"
Now that he had Zach's undivided attention, how
did he want to explain what he saw in Bill's trailer? Smothering a groan, he
worked off his nervousness by pacing.
The words all ran together in his head. Leonard
and Bill are fucking. No, too vulgar. Are Leonard and Bill together? Too
ambiguous.
He stopped, inhaled a deep breath trying to calm
himself.
Then blurted out,
"I saw Leonard giving Bill head in his trailer!"
Zach's left eyebrow rose a fraction, but he
didn't say anything and his countenance was immobile.
Chris flopped onto the bench next to Zach and
exclaimed, "I'm not punking you. Swear."
Leaning lightly into Zach, he put his hand on his
heart, as if promising this wasn't a trick. "Seriously, Captain Kirk was getting
a blow-job from Mr. Spock!"
Zach's reaction was not what Chris expected. He
sighed with exasperation and said, "Was Liberace gay?"
Chris looked at him, puzzled.
"What?"
"I said, 'Was Liberace gay?' The answer to that,
Chris, is yes. So hence, of course Leonard was fellating Bill. That's what they
do." Zach stared at him like he was intellectually challenged.
"They're gay? For each other? I thought they were married."
There was a trace of laughter in Zach's response,
"I wouldn't call them gay. More like bisexual -- for one another. And yes, they
are married. Their wives are very
understanding." Zach's brown eyes were bright with merriment, as if he was in
on some joke that Chris was only now finding out about.
Chris took a quick breath of utter astonishment
at Zach's words. He would have never guessed from their interactions that Bill
and Leonard were lovers and from Zach's statement had been for a long time.
While Chris knew the men were close, he thought their relationship was along
the lines of Zach and his: best friends. But growing up in
Hollywood, Chris knew that appearances could
be deceiving. He was a prime example of that.
Zach must have taken his silence for revulsion as
his tone contained a strong suggestion of reproach. "They come from a different
generation, Christopher. One where men don't leave their wives and children for
other men and still find work in this industry. Don't judge them."
Chris listened in bewilderment and experienced a
gamut of perplexing emotions. The first being how could Zach think he was
homophobic? The second being please don't let Zach be mad at me. And lastly,
irritation that Zach could ever think he was that narrow-minded.
Irritation won out.
He replied with heavy irony,
"Judge them, Zach?
That'd be the pot calling the kettle black, since I've been known occasionally
to get on my knees for the right man!"
The heavy lashes that shadowed Zach's cheeks flew
up, and his mouth dropped open in surprise, but no sound came out. It was a
beautiful expression.
Chris basked in the
realization of his before unknown power. In the years he'd known Zach he'd
rarely been able to shock the other man into silence...
He watched with smug delight as Zach struggled to
find his words. Finally, awkwardly, clearing his throat, Zach said, "You never
mentioned that before."
As he took a long leisurely look down Zach's lean
body, Chris' voice was low and purposely seductive, "You never asked."
In the years he'd known Zach, Chris had never
been blind to his attraction; he radiated a vitality that drew people into his
orbit like a magnet. With his brilliant mind, sarcastic wit, and stunning
talent, Chris had been powerless to resist the pull. But for some reason, Zach
had never acted on the sexual tension that had flowed between them. In the end,
Chris had thought he wasn't Zach's type and had given up on being more than
friends. However, now it seemed he knew the real reason -- Zach had believed he
was 100% straight. Zach never hit on straight guys; he said they were too much
trouble.
Chris wondered how he felt about guys who were
bisexual.
Moving closer, Chris put his hand on Zach's
thigh.
It twitched under his hand.
So, Mr. Quinto wasn't as unaffected as he
pretended to be. Chris broke into a slow, secret smile.
Zach was peering at him intently, confusion,
hope, and longing all on his face, but it was the smoldering flame Chris saw in
his eyes that pleased him most.
Desire raced through his bloodstream, and giving
in to the emotion, Chris leaned forward, holding Zach's gaze the entire time,
and gently, but firmly took his lips in a kiss. Zach returned it eagerly.
Continuing to kiss Zach, Chris then buried his
hands in the other man's hair, angling his friend's face to a better position
to deepen the kiss. The physical attraction had been there from the beginning,
burning just beneath the surface of their close friendship, but the moment
their mouths fused together, it was as if they had been lovers for years. There
was no awkward fumbling, no first-time hesitation, just unrestrained passion
finally set free.
As Chris' mouth moved against Zach's savagely,
leaving no room for anything but a response, Zach clung to Chris and moaned low
in his throat. The noises turned Chris on even more. Tearing his mouth away
from those luscious lips, Chris moved over to Zach's earlobe, teasing it with
his teeth. After that, he placed a series of slow shivery kisses to the
sensitive hollow at the base of Zach's throat, his hot breath creating goose
bumps on the exposed flesh.
Then taking a moment to catch his breath, Chris pulled
back from Zach's neck and opened his eyes, his gaze locking with Zach's. He was
enthralled by what he saw.
Suddenly Zach's eyes grew pensive.
"Am I the right
man, Chris?" Referring to their earlier conversation. His deep voice simmered
with barely checked passion, but also held a thread of doubt.
A soft and loving curve touched Chris' lips,
"You've
always been the right man, Zach. I've just been waiting for you to figure that
out."
That must have been the right answer as Zach's mood
seemed suddenly buoyant, and in one forward motion he pulled Chris into his
arms. Chris could feel Zach's uneven breathing on his neck, as his large hands
explored the hollows of his back.
"So Spock was his
knees for his Captain? Did that get you hard, Christopher? Did it?" Zach
whispered, his breath hot against his ear. A hand moved from his back, and
reached down to grip a buttock. Hard.
Chris moaned.
"Is what you want? Me
on my knees for you?" His voice carried a unique force.
Chris could only nod. The tables turned, he was now
the one struggling to speak.
Suddenly, Zach broke their embrace and slid out of
the dinette bench. Chris was left sitting there disorientated and aching.
Chris watched as Zach smiled suggestively at him.
"I can't very well get on my knees here." He then held out his hand.
Chris stood and took it, leading Zach over to the
sofa.
Shatner wasn't the only Kirk who was going to be
getting lucky today.
