Confused...

[dr_fugitive]

After the scare with Inara, and walking in on Derek and Kaylee in a compromising position, Simon heads to Kaylee's room and lays down on the bed, resting on his side. His mind is strangely blank, as he can't seem to process what he had just seen in the engine room.

Surely it was all innocent and merely two people getting in each other's way...

She giggles. "Ok, sweetie." she says brightly.

He turns them so he can hold her close more comfortably and bury his head in her shoulder. He's suddenly exhausted, the adrenaline that had him going through saving Inara finally leaving him completely.

And the added emotional turmoil from his minor bout of jealousy (which he would never admit to) isn't helping.

Kaylee smiles and holds him close as her eyes close. One of her hands moves to his hair and she starts to stroke it in soothing caresses. She also starts to hum softly to the song they danced to on the night he asked her to marry him.

He sighs with a smile. He'll always remember that song, too. Quietly, "Marry me, Kaylee. Marry me on Persephone...marry me always."

Her smile grows and she moves to kiss his temple and then his cheek. "I will, Simon. I love you and I will." she whispers in response.

He presses a kiss to her shoulder. "Love you, too."
