Jim felt it--the sudden tug in the place he thought of as the bond, that strange new presence, the whispered "Spock" escaping his lips at the same time as Kirk. He could not navigate what he was sensing, could not parse it into anything that made sense, but he had to hold himself back from the bed, from going to him/them, from stopping this.
He knew it had to be, knew that Spock needed to do this and that Pike needed something. But it tore at him, just the same.
Next to him he felt the other Jim, and unconsciously he reached over and grabbed his arm, just to have that anchor, that presence there, and perhaps also because they were them and it strengthened him.
