Beyond deleted scene

I wonder why Kirk keeps calling Scotty Mr Scott. He calls Bones, Uhura and Spock by their names without titles.

I'm sure I can find a 'Dr. McCoy' or 'Lt. Uhura' or 'Mr. Spock' in the Kelvin Universe films (and even the 'other' timeline films') where Kirk is more formal (or pseudo-formal, like when he's working up to a joke) when talking to his officers.

Off the top of my head, I recall Shatner Kirk calling Scotty 'Mr. Scott' several times at the end of "Trouble w/Tribbles" when he (Kirk) is trying to get an idea where the tribbles of the title were beamed to.

He went to the academy with those three, unlike Scott, so I suppose there is a greater degree of familiarity there.
 
But Scotty has put his bacon out of the fire a couple of times already, that ought to make the two of them close.
Still, McCoy was his friend at the Academy going back to when they were first on the shuttle transporting them there, Uhura he continuously tried to score with starting that night before he signed onto the Academy when he was at the bar getting drunk, and an older Spock from another timeline is telling Kirk to be BFF with Spock. Scotty is just the guy who works in engineering.

Still, he's a little more than that. In STID for example he got clandestinely on the Admiral's ship and betrayed the Admiral for Kirk's sake. That's got to count for something.
 
Here is Mira with Scotty in the lounge scene.

It's both funny and weird that Keenser came along on the date. One wonders, if Scotty and Mira slept together, would Keenser be standing there by the bed watching while the deed is done?

Just pray that Keenser doesn't sneeze on them during the deed.
