Commitment

It was no secret that Mal and Simon were lovers, and had been for three years. That kind of long-term relationship couldn't be kept quiet on a ship as small as Serenity. However, when they were in company, they usually maintained a professional distance and demeanor. So when they entered the galley one morning, Mal's arm blatantly thrown across Simon's shoulders and Simon's arm just as obviously around Mal's waist, everyone knew something was up.

Noticing that the entire crew, except Wash, was gathered around the table, Mal stopped by the comm. "Wash, put her on auto and join us in the galley."

"Captain?"

"That's an order, Wash."

"Aye, aye, sir. On my way."

Grinning at each other, Mal and Simon continued to the stove where they poured themselves some coffee and waited patiently for Wash to join them. Everyone else exchanged puzzled glances, except for River, who wore a secret smile, and Jayne, who shook his head, grunted and continued eating after taking one look at the captain and doctor.

As he came through the door, Wash asked, "What's up, Cap?"

"I've got somethin' to say, I'm only gonna say it the one time, and I didn't wanna listen to your complaints about missin' out again. Have a seat."

Wash sat down next to Zoë, giving her a quizzical glance. She just shook her head slightly, and nodded significantly towards Mal and Simon.

Clearing his throat, Mal said, "Now that we're all here, and I've got your attention, Simon and I want to tell you all that…well…" He paused to look at Simon, who hugged him briefly, then turned back to the rest of his crew as he continued, "we've decided to get hitched."

Simon looked at him indignantly and cried, "Hitched

Thank you for a very beautiful story. I noticed in Heart of God that folks were beyond the homophobia of Earth that was. Your story helps to "flesh that out" in a very moving way.

Thank you so much for your comment! I keep telling myself that there is hope for mankind losing their homophobia, even if we have to do it one story at a time. *g*
