“You're sure you don't mind?”
“I'm positive, Kaylee.”
“Hate wavin' just to show you...well.”
“Kaylee, I'm certain I don't mind. Just...go on. Show me.”
“Okay. Hold on a sec, just gotta....okay. Okay, here we go.”
Silence.
“Nara?” she ventured. Peeking out through mussed hair, she braved a glance at the vid screen. “You ain't sayin' nothin'....”
Inara tucked a stray piece of raven-black hair behind her ear. In the distance, a fire crackled, the light casting a soft, golden glow around Inara's crown.
“I—huh,” the Companion said.
“I-nar-a.”
“Baby, you're gonna be fine. I'm certain that Simon can take care of—”
Kaylee shook her head vigorously.
“Nuh-uh.”
“I'm sorry?”
“Ain't goin' to Simon with this,” she said stubbornly.
“Kaylee.” Inara’s black eyes were large with concern. “I realize that the nature of this particular problem is...well, sensitive. But unless Mal's hired another medic in the time I've been gone, I don't think you have a choice, sweetie.”
“Nara, you gotta understand. Simon's and my relationship's real fragile right now.”
“Are things between you two becoming more serious?”
“Well, sure. Sure! I mean we're talkin' more. Hell, we talk almost every night before bed.”
“Talking is good,” Inara agreed. “And has the relationship progressed physically? Surely a surgeon of Simon’s aptitude has untapped stores of talent.” She smiled broadly, and Kaylee couldn’t help grinning in return.
“Wellll…last week when we was getting’ off the mule…”
“Yes?”
“He took my arm so I wouldn’t fall.”
“I—oh.”
“He just gets so jumpy around me. Maybe I can wait a while longer. Till he ain’t so nervous all the time.”
“Honey, we don't have years.”
She chuckled at the expression of abject horror on Kaylee’s face.
“I’m teasing, Kay
But I have to know what the tattoo was of, please tell. *Puppy eyes*
I honestly had no idea what exactly was on Kaylee's backside, but I think it's terrific!
And I have got to know - what's the tattoo of?
And the whole bit with Kaylee going to Mal and then Wash and then Zoe showing up on the bridge ... oh, absolutely priceless!
The tension between Simon and Kaylee was just great and I, too, even when I read it the first time, told you I wanted to know what the tattoo was.
So - I guess you will just have to write a sequel to satisfy the masses!
>“Honey, we don't have years.”
Perfect Inara dry wit!
>“Kaylee. You know I...you're a pretty girl. Or, um, woman. And ain’t no one questioning what a catch you are. Beautiful. One might say. It's just, you and me...me and you...the two of us ain't....what I mean to say, Kaylee, is—”
She sighed dramatically and began unbuttoning her coveralls.
“Not tryin' to get you in the sack, Cap'n. Just need to show you somethin', dong ma?”
This series of lines floored me with ;laughter!
>“There she is. My wife. My beautiful wife.” Wash scurried over to take her arm. “Come in here and stand next to me, my little peach.”
Awesome Wash
>“Hey,” a gruff voice boomed from the hallway. “What's goin' on? I'm bored. Why you all hangin' out on the bridge? Hey, door's locked. You gonna let me in?”
“NO!”
Love Jayne getting shut out!
And the Kaylee/Simon interaction was perfect!
Great Story!
so glad you're still writing! i was worried we'd lost you after bed and wine was done.
Inara's: “You know I adore you, mei-mei.”“I know you do, Nara.” “So it's with love that I say this.” Inara's dark eyes narrowed on Kaylee's lighter ones. “You're nuts if you wait even a day longer.”
Wash's: “There she is. My wife. My beautiful wife.” Wash scurried over to take her arm. “Come in here and stand next to me, my little peach.”
Kaylee's: “Well, sure,” she agreed. “But Serenity don't gotta drop her shorts so I can examine her, Simon.”
Favorite line: “There she is. My wife. My beautiful wife.” Wash scurried over to take her arm. “Come in here and stand next to me, my little peach.”
Hehe! I could totally see Wash "scurrying" and saying that line. Also: “Good. Zoe's here...so then you two ladies can just...shiny.” Your Mal dialogue is the bestest!
Oh this one gave me giggles, and I totally needed that today!
You can't take the sky from me
“Mal?”
“Well, he ain't hired another cap'n since you left,” Kaylee teased.
hehehehehehe. There were so many lines that were just as funny if not funnier than this one, but I really appreciated the little sarcasm there. And I loved Inara and Kaylee's conversation. And the conversations on the bridge. Excellence.

Still...brilliant work here, Kaynara! I was laughing my ass off from start to finish! Especially gutbusted at picturing Mal's flustered remarks to Kaylee when she starts stripping;D
BEB
Mine is coming, I promise..and won't be what you expect.
Purely Brilliant!!!
LOL here: "“No offense, Little Kaylee. But I'd just as soon not see that part of your anatomy again any time in the near ever. Go on, now. March your...uh, self, down to the infirmary and see the doc.”"
Shiny shiny work, Kaynara, the whole sweet piece of prompted fanfic. Voices were all spot-on and I loved it from beginning to end. Kudos atcha.
Very amusing fic. Loved everyone especially Wash with his: “What's going on up here? Why's the door shut? Is someone naked?” *giggle*
I will now add my voice to the masses...what was the tat of? A strawberry? Serenity? Come on, inquiring minds wanna know. ;-)
