The ship surged as it started its departure, and Puck settled onto his back, his guitar a comfortable weight upon him. He felt slightly lulled to sleep and didn't quite think twice to say "Come in" to the knock at his door.
He turned to face his visitor, expecting to see Kaylee, or maybe Jayne there. He didn't expect to see Kurt standing at his doorway. He sat up, still holding on to his guitar (and if he was hugging it like a shield, no one needed to know) and raised a questioning eyebrow.
"I've been thinking, really, really hard on a conversation Inara and I had two weeks ago," Kurt said, still on the doorway, hands clenched at his sides. "It made me be honest with myself. About what I really wanted. Not what was expected for me to want, or what I should want... About how I really felt about my life. About you. And that wonderful night we had and how mad I was that you left. Because I wanted you. Wanted to be with you, so much. Like I've never felt before. And you were right, because I didn't want to be with you as a Companion, but just as Kurt. It felt personal, not professional and that was new to me." Kurt's speech had gained speed and volume, and he suddenly stopped.
Puck sat still, not wanting to interrupt, hoping that this was going where he thought it was going.
"So I had a decision to make. And I thought it was going to be the hardest decision in my life. Turns out, it was the easiest. Only, now I'm unemployed," Kurt finished with a small smile.
In the future, Puck would insist that he didn't remember anything he did right then, all he remembers are soft lips on his and passionate kisses and how Kurt's hips fit just right in his hands, and the wolf whistles of the crew of Serenity as they watched them make out in the doorway of Puck's room.
End
Now, for real.
And the tune Puck had in his head was the old Old Earth song "I knew I loved you"... Maybe it's intuition Somethings you just don't question Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend

I don't think that there's more in this 'verse, though.
