Behind Every Successful Man
Whenever Jim successfuly done something, Bones was there, standing on the sidelines and giving Jim The Look, usually laced with genuine affection, delight and humour.
On the other hand, Bones was there, wearing exactly the same look whenever Jim done something incredibly stupid, too - but at those times, the look had been laced with various emotions, depending on what the hell did Jim do this time. Usually it was worry, because the younger man had a thing for getting himself in worrisome situations.
After Jim got the captaincy of the Enterprise, it soon became a running joke among the crew. Captain would do something stupid - there would be a hell to pay, as promised Doctor's look, once he would get from 'way too close to death' back to 'way too alive'. He would do something smart, there would be a lot to be paid, once again promised by the long look the Doctor gave to Kirk.
Oh yes. Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. Or, as would be in this instance - behind every great captain is his doctor, giving him the look.
