When One Door Closes ((Winter Storm event))
It is another normal day waking up on the USS Enterprise. Hunter spends some time with Jim, before the Captain goes to report in for his duties.
Then he attempts to use his PINpoint to return to his apartment, to shower and change. That is when the normal day becomes unusual -- he is unable to get a portal open back to his Nexus apartment.
He at first figures it just be a glitch, and after checking to make sure Jim's shared bathroom is free -- showers there.
After his shower and a quick change to extra clothes he keeps at Jim's quarters, he tries the PINpoint again. Still nothing.
So he has to remain in Jim's quarters. This is quite strange.

"You have to be a U.S. citizen. You have to be at least 17 years of age. You should have a high school diploma. And you have to pass a medical exam."
"Sounds to me Starfleet is a little bit more open about citizenship... since different alien species can join. Not sure about the age thing, but that is not a concern. And not sure about the high school diploma thing."

Hunter reaches out to take Jim's hands in his own. "I don't know what is going on in the Nexus. But this might be a good time for me start this. To enlist."
"To embrace a new opportunity for myself."

He absently rubs his thumbs against Hunter's hands, looking the other man in the eye, a little guilty that they're rushing something this important. Even though he knows damn well that Hunter can still back out before he graduates, it's still a serious commitment. And not just in terms of what this means to Jim. "You're sure you know what you're getting into?" he asks, needing to be sure. Even so, he knows that Hunter's already seen a glimpse of the dangers already, when Jim had died and a warship had buried itself in the middle of downtown San Francisco.

"And I know there will be danger..." He reaches up to caress a hand over Jim's face. He has seen his Captain boyfriend in trouble enough times to know it comes with the territory.
"But to be able to serve a community again... gives me hope."

"If that's what you want," he says, and leans in to kiss his boyfriend, gratitude and worry both urging him to hold Hunter close. They might not have this, once Starfleet demands both their attentions. Not for a little while, at least.

"Thank you." He runs his fingers through Jim's hair.
