The Simon doth protest too much. Comments appreciated!
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 1912 RATING: 9.0 (PG13) SERIES: FIREFLY
“No.” The doc looked around the room, eyeballin’ each of ‘em in turn. “No!”
“Well, you are the prettiest of us menfolk.” Mal glanced over at Jayne. “No offence meant.”
“None taken.” Jayne wasn’t sweet on the idea of bein’ purdy. Ruggedly handsome, sure. Sexy… better. Purdy, no.
He ran his hand over his hair ta make sure it was stickin’ up proper.
“Absolutely NOT.” The doc pushed his chair away from the table an’ stood up. “Why do we need this money so badly anyway? I’m sure there are other jobs we can take. Jobs not involving the possibility of my having to kiss a man.”
Jayne looked over at Mal. He was sittin’ back with his fingers pressed together like a tent. “I do a job, I get paid. One way ‘er another. I ain’t doin’ charity work.”
“Well YOU go, then.”
“That ain’t gonna happen.”
“Oh, but you’ll send me?”
“That’s the idea.”
Jayne was lookin’ back an’ forth between Mal an’ the doc. Stopped on the doc when he didn’t reply.
The doc looked down at Kaylee like she was supposed ta help.
She just shrugged.
He turned ta Crazy, who was sittin’ on the other side of ‘im.
She shrugged too. “You are the prettiest.”
She said it like it was a given.
The doc looked around at all of ‘em again. “I don’t believe this.”
Jayne watched ‘im walk outa the room.
“Simon!” Kaylee went next.
Jayne got up an’ followed ‘er.
He heard Mal get up from the table behind ‘im. “Whose turn is it ta make supper?”
Jayne could hear Kaylee an the doc arguin’ when he turned down the hall that led ta the doc’s room.
“But why me? Why can’t Mal go? Or Jayne?”
“Jayne can’t go ‘cause Mr. Pink’s already met ‘im. And Mal can’t go because… he’s… Mal.”
Jayne crept up ta the door real quiet-like. It was open a little at the edge. He could see Kaylee sittin’ on the bed, watchin the doc outa Jayne’s sight.
“Oh. Well. That makes perfect sense, then.”
“Well! Mal’s just… Mal. He ain’t really the… gentle type, yanno? Not soft ‘er nothin’.”
“And I am?”
“Wel
"He ran his hand over his hair ta make sure it was stickin’ up proper."
OMG, I SO LOVE HIM! (and you too, of course!)
And he is an idiot for not staying in the engine room! The temp was surely rising!

Yay for a new chapter. I have to say:
Dear Simon... HA HA!!!
Dear Jayne... *slap upside the head*
Dear Kaylee... what are you waiting for?!?
Fave lines: “I ain’t questionin’ anythin’!” I’m just sayin’, is all. I mean, you’re smart. Real educated. Ya dress nice. An’ you are… pretty.”
“You can’t frost over this with flattery.”
“Yeah?”
“Is it true you’ve never kissed a girl?”
Jayne blinked. “Who told you that?”
Kaylee smiled. “You did.”
Squeeeeeeeeeeee! I've just joined so that I could comment properly. This is a work of ficcing genius! Jayne's voice is spot on and when they had the convo I quoted above, I had this image of Jayne in the hat his mum made him, for some reason. Yay, cute Jayne!
