River, screamed.
Simon scrambled in from the infirmary, finding her on her bed, hands over her ears as she cried in horror while the tears streamed down her face. He gathered her trembling body in his arms and held her tight. The past few days had been the kind where he treaded softly, as he had managed to piss off Malcolm, and Kaylee all in the same day. How he dealt with the captain was mainly just avoiding him and doing his job, however, with Kaylee he just tried to talk to her and be a gentleman around her. Simon had washed the dishes with her one night, had been striking up a bit of chatter, and had been apologizing just about every time they were alone and he had a chance to. The tactic had been working so far, with Kaylee as she seemed a bit more responsive at breakfast that morning, with Mal however they were down to cold silences and angry looks. At the moment though none of that mattered as he tried to soothe his sister.
“It’s ok, it’s ok xaio mei-mei.” He whispered in her ear, rocking his body as she molded onto him like a frightened child. “River… shhh….”
“We’re here…. We’re there!” She buried herself into his chest, like she was hiding from something. “It’s so green… but it’s so white… too clean… too smooth… take it out and put things back in… doesn’t belong! MAKE IT STOP!”
“River I have you.” He stroked her back. “You’re ok, you’re safe…”
“Not the chair!... You can’t put that in there! It’s not supposed to fit!” She shook, her face buried into his neck when she let out a terrified scream. “SIIIIIIMOOON!” Clawing at his shirt, holding on tight. “SIMON SAVE ME!”
Simon held her tight, tears glossing his eyes, mortified at how scared she was. “I’ve got you! You’re ok! You’re ok…” He gingerly lifted her up and guided her out of the room and to the infirmary.
As soon as she saw the room, she recoiled. “NO!”
“River, I just want to give you something…”
;D
Oh...and the Silee convo on the couch? All kinds of superb work, and I was totally able to picture the actors going through this scene:D
BEB
Simon smiled awkwardly, hopefully. “She really likes you. She doesn’t just cling to anyone.”
“Hope she’s not the only one in the family still likin’ me.” She hinted a bit.
AWWWWWWWWW
He looked pensively at her, blushing. “How many times have I apologized for pushing you off of the couch?”
She pondered it. “I’d say ‘bout a hundred.” Kaylee gave him a teasing glance as the ice had finally broken.
Hehe cuuute!^.^
“Why thank you for the assumption.” He snarked as Zoe and Ru came in just in time for them to hit some turbulence powerful enough for his toy triceratops to go flying off of the console and bounce around on the floor. “But it’s not me, it’s these gorram coordinates you gave me. Where did you get these? And can someone pick up Steve? He doesn’t like being on the ground.”
Zoe rolled her eyes towards her husband and picked up the plastic dinosaur, placing it next to the tyrannosaurus.
“Thanks baby. You can play with my dinos anytime.”
BAHAHAHA ADORABLE!
River was taking a welcomed drugged nap.
So Simon was seizing the opportunity and was stretched out on a couch in the common area, trying to get some shuteye himself as all of his relationship added stress had led to fitful sleeping patterns. Shutting his eyes he relaxed and got ready to go to sleep as the robbers of the ship went out gallivanting, plundering or whatever the hell they did. All that mattered was he had some down time before someone came in howling because they had been shot and needed his expertise.
I have no idea why, but I could NOT stop laughing.
Ok, the ENTIRE Wash, Kaylee, and Simon scene? BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ!!!! SERIOUSLY. I kidd you not.
“Somin’ bit me.” Jayne growled as he clutched his bleeding arm. "Ruttin planet."
^^^^^^LMAO!!!
