The Right To Love - Chapter 9
Monday, April 9, 2007
Continuation of my Simon-centric story based on the 100 Prompt table. A bit of fluffy goodness before we return to the angst. It's Kaylee's birthday. Simon/Kaylee, Mal/Inara.
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 3724 RATING: 9.0 (G) SERIES: FIREFLY
A/N: This chapter is a bit shorter than I generally like, but this prompt was too long to combine with any others. I'll do my best to get chapter 10 up sooner rather than later.
Thanks to Leiasky for the beta, once again.
And keep those comments coming ... it may appear that the angst has dissipated, but I believe it was Chazzer who made a comment after the last chapter about pre-storm calms. Hmm, interesting concept that ...

The Right To Love - Chapter 9 (Prompt 60)
***
060. Birthday
Simon awoke early as he always did, and he glanced to his side to see Kaylee still asleep. They had been staying with her folks for almost a week now and she was doing better. He rolled onto his side to look at her, smiling as he saw the way her skin glowed. It was hot here this time of year and so they had been spending time out in the sun, causing Kaylee’s skin to tan even more. Of course, Simon’s had only served to burn, but the pain was receding quickly. Lifting up one of his arms in front of his face, he saw that the red was quickly fading to a light brown color and it pleased him. Maybe now everyone would stop call him ‘Lily.’
Lifting his head from his pillow as he heard something outside their door, he slid out of bed and opened it a crack to see what was going on. See
This was so cute and sweet and I loved it, nice to have a short break from the angst. Thank god for Inara saving the day, but Simon should really be ashamed.
Rivers comments were hilarious.
Loved it, as usual!
You can't take the sky from me
And his coping mechanism - that beautiful smile and sculpted chest - yum!
I hear you, yum yum!
Loved how he put up with boredom all day, hilarious.
'That way, if the blood loss didn’t kill him, the tetanitis would.'
LMAO
Oh, and happy birthday for the 8th!
He was distracted by her being hurt, though, so it is a teeny bit understandable . . .
Kaylee's reaction/disapointment to the gift was great. And at least Simon noticed it.
Yes, indeed, he does owe Inara a small fortune. . . wonder how his debt will be repayed?
1) Willingly spent several hours with Kaylee in an environment that isn't his cup o' tea. Also, no bitching whatsoever;
2) Paid attention to the fact that his girlfriend wanted to obtain a needed part for her baby and couldn't afford it;
3) Went and bought the part himself for her
Now...call me a stereotypically dense male, but didn't Simon just actually perform several actions that women usually complain about concerning men (i.e. lack of willingness to go somewhere they want to go AND without complaint, observe subtle facets of their emotional state, and do something selfless without being asked)?
Still...it's a great chapter here, TamSibling! Even if Simon is supposed to be a doink, he's a lovable doink under your care;)

Now...call me a stereotypically dense male, but didn't Simon just actually perform several actions that women usually complain about concerning men not doing without serious prompting (i.e. lack of willingness to go somewhere they want to go AND without complaint, observe subtle facets of their emotional state, and do something selfless without being asked)?
