[Personal Log] Valentine's Day

[meimeimechanic]

Valentines day just so happened to also be Kaylee's birthday. She lay in bed for a while just staring upwards. She wasn't exactly sure what she should do. If she should do anything. Things with Simon hadn't really gone anywhere but they'd thankfully not gone backwards. They were still stuck. Fine one moment then he'd go and open his mouth to which the wrong words came out.

Kaylee knew what he was like. Knew that she shouldn't really take offence at whatever he was saying but sometimes it was just hard. Sometimes she knew it was her that made it worse than it was. She looked over at the shelf and saw the books that she'd got for Simon. Maybe it didn't mean that much to him and she should just give him one of them, save the rest for his birthday. Though his birthday was not such a good day to remember. The time they'd all nearly died. She sighed, thinking how great it was to bring that back up.

Finally she sat up. She'd find something better for his birthday. Happier than a few books he might not even like. She got the replicator to make her a nice red ribbon and she tied it around the books. Still in her pajamas's she went to sneak them into his side of their quarters. Maybe she'd be lucky and have missed him going out to the sickbay already.

Kaylee did wonder what things could have been if they'd been back on Serenity. Would they have been like this in the engine room or maybe her her bunk. A little more private. Well, as private as you could get when you lived in such close quarters with nine... she corrected herself. Seven, it was only going to be seven of them. Her heart ached. But that wasn't the time to dwell, much as it hurt still.

She can get lost in Simon's kisses and what she's waited so long for. It isn't just about sex, if it were just that then Kaylee wouldn't have been waiting around for Simon. There were plenty of other options available to her. Others on board and where they'd been. It was more that that, this was just something more.

Kaylee kisses him until she has to stop so she can breathe, the stars threatening on the edges of her vision remind her of that. She pulls away again, this time further. Missing the heat and closeness of him. "C'mon." She manages as she licks her lips. Using his shirt to pull him in the direction of his side of their quarters.

He's not sure when it becomes so heated. What was tentative turns into one had slipped up into her hair and the other dropping from her face to wrap around her waist, pulling her closer. He doesn't mean to kiss her until they're both desperate for air, but it's what happens. It's months, long long months, spent together, knowing what they want but somehow unable to make it happen. It's longing for each other since the very first time they met. It's shared experience and that simmering feeling of wanting between them.

It's knowing that Kaylee is one of the best, brightest, most wonderful people he's ever known, and not having done this would be something he'd regret. Just like he said, in the desperation before battle, so very long ago.

He wants her more than he can say, and when she whispers to him to c'mon, he grins, and for once, he manages not to say anything as she leads him to his bed.
