Characters: Kaylee, Simon

Summary: Kaylee and Simon have their first lover’s spat. NC-17

Authors Notes: I’d like to thank Oldfan45 for giving me the idea to write a fic about Kaylee and Simon’s first blow up. I’d also like to thank Ragdoll and Mar for giving me some ideas as to what the fight should be about. Also, towards the end this gets a bit smutty. I haven’t written smut before, so if it sucks, hopefully I’ll do better next time. Feedback is always appreciated. If you have anymore ideas for K/S stories you’d like me to give a try at writing let me know.
