CHAPTER TWO
Serenity - kitchen
He didn’t like doing the dishes. He didn’t mind the water or cleaning the plates itself. He hated the fact that she was standing next to him, towel in those perfectly manicured hands, staring out in front of her without saying a word. It made him uncomfortable. He couldn’t even just stare at her for a while, cause then she’d expect him to talk, and that wasn’t high on his list right now. They'd had a little fight back during dinner, and, even though he used to love these little arguments with her, they usually didn’t bring their discussions into a public place for everyone to hear. And she’d won, undermining his role as the captain. It wasn’t safe out there for her. She might get herself hurt, or worse… die. And he didn’t like people he loved dying.
“Mal…”
“Hmm…” And he looked at her, straight into her deep brown eyes.
“You’re so quiet. You starting to scare me,” she commented with a smile on her face.
“I’m not.”
“You’re mad because I’m going into town tomorrow.”
“Inara,” he sighed. “What if Atherton is there? What if he got his men with ‘em? We both know Kaylee can’t do a damn thing and Zoë, as much as I trust her, can’t take them all on.”

“No, this is about me fearing for your safety.”
“Mal…”
“I don’t want to lose you again, Inara!”
He’d said he wouldn’t let her go without a fight. Losing her once was enough and the weeks after that had been just dark and depressing.
Inara was taken aback by his confession and she tried to recollect her thoughts. “I… Uhm…” But she never got further than that. Suddenly the ship started shaking badly, causing Inara to drop the cup she was holdin
