[He may remind her of Steve Trevor but he's never met another woman anything like her before. Sure Kirk knows beautiful women. He knows women who can kick his ass. He knows several who have both qualities. Diana is just... different. She has the distinction of being one of the only people who can distract him from the Enterprise, even for a moment and that's just not easy to do.
He knows she has skeletons in her closet. Secrets that she keeps close to her chest. He's noticed that she's been getting progressively quieter over the last week. But he doesn't ask because he has skeletons and scars too and he gets it. Life isn't fair. The universe doesn't care if you grow up without a father or if you lose a lover or if your brother runs away at fourteen or if you can never go home again. He doesn't push, because he doesn't like it when people push on his scars but he wonders.
He watches.]
You're up early, [commented from the bed, still wrapped in a sheet and just a sheet (wink) and his hair looks ridiculous like it always does in the morning since he started growing it out and a little smile on his face. He has a meeting with Spock later, a promise to grab lunch with Bones, an afternoon of arguing with Scotty about how they can't do that to the Enterprise but he doesn't want to move just yet.]
