You wipe the sweat off your brow as you stand up from under a control panel on the empty Bridge. You have been working on the finishing touches to the new Bridge since the day before, taking breaks only to eat and occasionally rest. You closed your eyes tight as you rolled your head and neck from side to side. You were too preoccupied with your thoughts and stretching that you didn't hear the lift doors open and someone walk on to the Bridge. You jump and let out a quiet squeak as large warm hands covered your eyes.

You smirk and place your hands on your hips. "Jim, I told you! Don't go scaring me, you might get hurt, of which I will not be held accountable for."

"Aw man, how did you know it was me?" He lets his hands drop down, wrapping around your middle as he rests his chin on your shoulder.

You smile and place your hands on his arms and lightly lean your head on his. "You breath like a dragon; you are so full of hot air."

Jim chuckles causing goose bumps to run up your neck. "Well, this dragon wants his princess back in the tower." He whispers then kisses you on the cheek.

You sigh and close your eyes. "Jim, please I have one more panel, then I'll meet you in your room." You try to pull away, but Jim held you closer.

"Nah, that can wait until tomorrow. You are mine tonight, not the Bridge's." He starts to kiss down your neck as you giggled.

"Fine, fine, okay! Let me get my things." You turn in his arms and take his face in your hands. You smile and caress his cheek with your thumb.

Jim looked down at the gorgeous girl in his arms. Your vibrant (e/c) eyes have always shown with happiness and almost sparkled like you knew something everyone else didn't. He strokes your cheek with the back of his fingers, taking care to wipe off a smudge of dirt. That was how you two got together.

The first time he saw you he thought you were a spy for the Federation in hopes of catching him in one of his "unethical" acts to get him demoted. You had a smudge of dirt on your cheek and your red shirt was littered with scorch marks, you didn't mind to get dirty. That and the way you looked at him with those all-seeing eyes, you must be here on a mission.

So he took things into his own hands and tried to seduce you into telling him why she was set, but you wouldn't hear it. In fact, it ended up being you seducing him because, by the third or fourth date, he was smitten. Looking down at you and taking in your features, Jim would admit to still being unabashedly smitten.

"Alright, be quick. You look like you are about to fall over." Jim leans down and kisses you lightly on the forehead.

You nod and rush to put away your things. You should probably tell Scotty the progress of the Bridge, but you looked over at Jim poking away at random buttons on a nearby control panel. The update can wait. You stood there for a moment longer just looking at your boyfriend. His blond hair was a bit more tousled today, his uniform is gone replaced by comfortable civilian clothing. You step forward and wrap your arms around him. He lets out a deep chuckle as he wrapped his arms around you too.

"How did I get so lucky?" You whispered into his chest.

He smiled as he stroked our hair, placing a kiss on the top of your head. "You're not the only one surprised. Ask any of the crew, they think I am way too good for you."

You snort as you pull away, punching his arm lightly. "Yeah well, I was bound to end up with some kind of loser." You pick up your tool bag and strut to the lift.

Kirk laughed and shook his head, rushing forward to meet you inside. The both of you pretended to be haughty and only spared knowing glances at each other. It took every fiber of your being not to just push him against the wall and kiss him soundly. And just by looking at Jim's eyes, you could tell that you weren't the only one thinking that.

As soon as the doors opened, Jim grabbed your hand and practically dragged you to his sleeping quarters. The both of you stumbled into his room. Jim grabbed the bag out of your hand and threw it to the side. Hastily yet gently, he placed his hand behind your neck, his other arm snaked around your waist. He smiled right before he leaned in and pressed his lips to yours, pushing you against the opposite wall. You giggled into the kiss, loving the fact that come up to the Bridge to get you. You wrapped your arms around his neck, running a hand through his hair. Jim smiled as well, kissing you lightly around your face. He moved his hand from your neck to up in your hair, kissing you soundly on the mouth. But you gasped in pain, pushing him away.

Jim's eyes widened and he stepped back but reached out to you. "(Y/n)? Are you alright? Did I hurt you."

You blink back tears and reach your hand up to your hair, feeling around on your head. "No, no, it's not you. I think if I remember correctly, I hit my head on the way out from under one of the consoles. I didn't think it would leave such a nasty bruise." You hiss again in pain once you find where you hit yourself. Thankfully you didn't feel any dry blood, just a nasty bump.

"Man, you are more of a klutz than I am. I'll get Bones to take a look at it in the morning." Jim laughed as he pulled you to him, wrapping you in his arms protectively. "I'm sorry I ruined the mood." You bury your face in his chest and laugh, feeling his own laughs shake his body.

"Jim, dear, if anything it was me who ruined it. Yesterday afternoon." You reply.

"You have been working too much."

"You are one to talk. Besides, I'm not the captain of a ship but I am dating one so I want it to look like I do something." Your voice drifted off near the end, not really wanting to explain what you meant. But thankfully he didn't ask.

Kirk looks down at you and smiles sadly. You mean the world to him and after everything that has happened you have continued to be patient and loving, despite him being extremely busy. He holds you a little tighter, rubbing circles on your back. You relax instantly into his arms, moaning tiredly. Kirk then gets an idea. Without warning, he swoops you into his arms and he lays you on his bed. You look up at him in question but was soon answered once you felt his hands massaging your shoulders and back. You close your eyes as you make yourself more comfortable on your stomach.

After a few moments of silence and complete bliss, you turn your head so you were looking at him. "Jim?" You whisper his name and he looks at you, not pausing his miracle hands.

"Yes, honey?" He whispers back.

You blink slowly and smile at the term of endearment. "I love you so much." You whisper as you reach your hand out and rest it on his leg as he continued to work on your shoulders and back.

Kirk stops and leans forward, placing a kiss right behind your ear at the nape of your neck. "I love you too (Y/n)." He watched as a wide smile took over your restful features.

He smiled too and got back to work on you, relishing in the fact that he was providing you with comfort and relief. Kirk always thought he would be one to jump from girl to girl. But with you, it was always an adventure, always a guessing game on how the night would turn out. He loved that about you, that you just take the day straight on and go to sleep that night happy and content with your progress.

He also loved the way you would rest against him on date nights and how you allow him to run his fingers over your arms or back. He loved that he would make you giggle like a school girl with just a glance, or make you blush with embarrassment with just a whisper in your ear. And most of all, he loved that you made him feel like the only man on the ship worth being loved.

He watched as you drifted off to sleep with your smile still standing. He half smiles and chuckles quietly, brushing a few hairs out of your face. He moved you to the side a bit, making room for him next to you as he covered you with the comforter. You subconsciously move closer to him once he got comfortable, wrapping your arms around him and nuzzling into him as he kissed your shoulder. Kirk closed his eyes, taking in your scent and the feel of your body against his as he let himself fall completely and utterly in love with you for at least the third time that day.
