A/N: Oaky, so here's the follow up to http://www.fireflyfans.net/bluesun.aspx?bid=11848>Cuddle;, with some Mal and Inara thrown in because I really do love their relationship! Best to read Threesome, Proposition, and then Cuddle, links to the first two found in Cuddle.
Thanks to Leiasky for beta-ing and then Tamsibling for doing the same over some new stuff I added to the story! You are girls are awesome!

Kaylee kept her eyes averted, focused on wrapping Simon’s wrist just the way he instructed her and never straying to look up into his face. She longed to, but the guilt that played across her own kept her head down, concentrating on the task at hand.
“Just a... little less tight, Kaylee.”
His words were even but the purple hue of his fingers showed her that she had been a bit too focused.
“Oh, I’m sorry Simon!”
She quickly unwrapped the last folds of the bandage, taking a moment to glance up at him and plastering a smile there to show her apology. His own wan smile greeted hers as she returned her gaze to his wrist, her knees jittering at the shot of desire that smile always produced.
“Guess I’d fail nursing school, huh?”
Scooting the stool a little closer to the exam table as she tried to secure the bandage in place, she found herself blushing at her own inept medical skills. Simon touched her shoulder and replied, “You’re doing a fine job, Kaylee.”
He found himself not wanting to remove his hand from her shoulder. In fact, he truly wanted to move that hand up to cup her cheek, maybe pull her face closer to his own, press those soft lips to-
“Now there must be a story to this.”
Both Kaylee and Simon turned to the entrance of the infirmary as Mal leaned against the side of the hatch, his annoyance well intoned in his words.
Simon’s mouth opened to explain, “I well, I..”
“He just fell is all, Cap’n. Sprained his wrist. He‘ll be shiny by the end of the week,” Kaylee smiled up at Si
I love this mini series.
And of course, River is just hilarious. Swimming upstream, not down. If Kaylee got the implication then I wonder why Simon didn't. Then again, it must have been a boob moment.
Im not sure 'pilfering' is the best word to use there though - generally means stealing doesnt it?
You can't take the sky from me
-Poor, hungover Kaylee, she finally gets to hold the doctor's hand and she makes it all purple.
“Is it proper medical procedure to have your shirt open? For a sprained wrist, that is.”
-BWAHAHAHAHA ruttin' great Mal line
Whatever 'toy' Mal picked up in Inara's shuttle, that was a hilarious scene.
I love that Simon is so dense when it comes to River's statements, while Kaylee knew what she meant right away (of course, it was the thing that was on Kaylee's mind, which might have helped)
Very poetic and awesome
*“I thought you wanted to talk, Mal? Are we done so soon?”*
And that line - PRICELESS!
Poor Simon, and poor Kaylee ... two star-crossed lovers ... those crazy kids!
Also, really enjoyed how you Inara revel in being able to fluster Mal to no end, like he does with her. Gotta wonder if someone is keeping score...River maybe?
;)
BEB
Hee! Love the unbuttoned shirt comment. River's quip about swimming upstream was hysterical. Just once I want to see Simon 'get it' when River says something odd.
And what WAS that thing Mal picked up anyway? I love it that she got him all flustered. Well done! Only one more in this little series of stories? Aw, I think you can do more than that . . . :)
