Fics like The Lonely Showoff(Eng ver.)

"It's just his usual showing off. Same song, ninety-seventh verse... That lonely showoff." When the Enterprise crew faces a ridiculously strict, beauty-obsessed alien arbiter, Kirk effortlessly charms his way through a test of interstellar art history. To the rest of the crew, it's just Captain Kirk being his usual brilliant, arrogant self. But Spock notices the exhaustion hiding behind the swagger. A quiet morning in the Captain's quarters reveals the grueling, solitary effort Kirk puts into being "perfect"—and gives Spock the logical opportunity to offer something Kirk didn't know he needed: a real partner.
