7 Deadly Sins (4/7)--Mal+River (Firefly/Serenity)
Disclaimer: Firefly, Serenity and all of its wonderful characters belong to Joss Whedon.
Kaylee dreams.
Most nights it's about Simon, 'n gettin' him to know her folks. Sometimes she relives what they last did in the engine room. There's the other nights, too, when even Simon's arm all wrapped up tight around her don't keep the Reavers away.
Those nights the Cap'n don't come back, 'n she hears River scream from behind closed doors, 'n Simon lies bleeding. He bled so much...
She shivers and wakes up and he's right beside her, all sleepin'. She doesn't talk but kisses him, and he wakes up kissing back.
Kaylee tries not to be selfish: she loves Serenity and everyone on board.
She loves Simon, like somethin' real fierce thumping on her chest.
She loves River as her sweet sweet mei mei, 'n because she knows she and Simon go together. It hurt real bad when she thought her gone 'cause of some faulty blast doors that didn't shut.
Jayne, she loves Jayne, too. He's the mean older brother who'd pick fun at her crushes, but who really takes care of her.
Zoe she loves, always so strong 'n confident, now dull and lost. She's without her Sun.
Inara she thinks of often times, she's a touch more quiet and spending more time in her shuttle. River's with her most times. Her glamorous older sister, so full of everything shiny.
And her Captain, whom Kaylee thinks she could love the most, feels he might need someone to but not anymore. Kaylee, watches, hears, sees her little mei mei with the Cap'n 'n smiles.
And dreams.
"I love my Cap'n," she sighs, 'n catches River's eye 'n winks.
Kaylee's dreams are mostly filled of sweet.
