PART TWO: "Nothin' At All".

***

Her fingers stretched out, lightly hovering over his cheek. She’d done this before and it didn’t get easier. Simon flinched as her skin made contact with the dark purple bruise that surrounded the line of stitches to the side of his eye. His face was too soft to take a punch like that.

“Ya gotta keep the ice on it for it to work.”

His eyes were deep blue when looked at her, head resting on the back of the couch. His hand came up from his lap, clutching at the ice pack. She could see him try not to react when he pressed it back to the wound.

“I think it would work perfectly well if I kept Jayne’s fist off it.”

Kaylee had to look down at her knees, curled up next to his legs.

“That too.”

“Mei mei.” They both looked up to see Mal in the door. “Don’t you have to see to that thing in the engine?”

“That thing?” As he kept watching her, Kaylee clicked. “Oh, that thing. Yeah, sure, cap’n. I’ll just go do that now.”

She curled a finger into the hair around Simon’s ear, just a second of a goodbye. In her head, she could almost imagine that he’d turned slightly to move with her, to keep contact with her for just a second longer. Her teeth bit into her bottom lip as she skipped out of the room.

The stairs leading up to the second floor weren’t all that wide, just enough room for a person to thunder through comfortably, or two people to squish their way around each other if they happened to pass. Which is exactly why Kaylee foun

Who wants more? You have got to be kidding. If someone doesn't want more, he or she is probably dead.

Well done. I like how you've prepped the story for the next bit, yet also gave us a little more background on the Jaylee situation. It definitely increases the tension, and makes this particular reader eager to read the next chapter. Or the next 98 chapters (hee hee hee).

I do, I do, I do want more! Please?

This is so sad..

Jayne saying it meant nothing.

I guess there's more angst ahead.

*wibbles in the tummy*

Still want more

*sniff..... sigh* Yes, more please!

It's so bitter sweet..... Lotsa hurtin', lotsa unrequited love, lotsa longin'......

Please tell me it'll get a bit less angst-y and a bit more love-y -eventually! Even if it's Simon starting to treat Kaylee right...... Or maybe Kaylee deciding that it's not "nothin' at all" between her and Jayne.........

I can stand the angst a bit longer, but please say you'll resolve this bitter sweet love triangle in the end..........

These characters may not want to play with you, but you're doin' a damn fine job playin' with them. *g* Can't wait to see what you have in store for them. (hint--Jaylee, not Silee, *begs*) *g*

You set the gold standard in Jaylee fanfic, Jacqui. I don't know whether to have a good cry or go punch sombody myself. As always, your work just blows me away.

Hopefully Simon will now get his act together and be honest with Kaylee. It is the least he can do for her. Now. Wonder what the Captain said to Jayne? Ali D :~)
You can't take the sky from me

Oh god, I just wish Kaylee would realise that it's Jayne, not Simon. And why can't shee see it's not nothin, it's somethin fierce!

I know I keep saying this Jacqui, but your Jaylee fics are just FAB.

You know that we all want more, you need to write more, quickly!!
Also, maybe if you could manage it then maybe you could stop Jayne from getting his heart ripped out, I can't bear it.

BOUNCES FOR MORE! I need more! Loved it as always, darlin'.
Saturday, 25 February 2006 02:52
God! Is it wrong that I really wanna hit somebody right now?
Somebody, anybody, everybody. Most Kaylee.

Is it too much to ask for a happy ending? I can't stand to see much more of Jayne hurting. He may be acting all indifferent, but we know he's so very not.

Add my name to the petition calling for more...
