Day 255 — Mistletoe Mingle
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

[Inara's still learning her way around the dome, though she's not bothered overly much if she does end up lost from time to time while out on her walks. It just forces her to figure out her way back to the apartment.

She had managed to find the shops just fine though and had found appropriate enough clothing. Well, she would have honestly taken anything if it meant getting rid of the orange jumpsuit.

She's wearing a deep red colored blouse and a loose fitting ankle length black skirt, so she's generally pleased with her appearance.

She spots Mal in the distance and for a moment her steps falter but she quickly shakes off whatever hesitation she might have and quickens her pace so she can catch up with him.]

Mal!

	[Mal turned with an uncharacteristic smile when he heard her call his name. The last time she'd been here, she'd only stayed for a day. He fully expected her to be gone. Thus it was that much sweeter to here her voice.] I see you couldn't stay away. And you got rid of the orange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[And that smile actually catches her off guard. She blinks, staring at him for a moment and then her lips press together.]

Don't flatter yourself, I merely saw you walking ahead of me is all. Really.

[She does smile though and looks down at her outfit.]

Yes, and I do feel much better. Why do they even bother with those things? Surely they know we're going to find new clothing.

[Oh, see, he was being too talkative. He goes gruff again.].

Well, it's jus' good to have a someone from home around. Don't much matter who.

[And yes he did notice her clothes. He tried to look them over surreptitiously.]

To remind us we are prisoners when they bring us in? The bracelet's gone too. Ain't much sure of much in this place. You missed the dinosaur attacks.

[She tries not to let his words bother her. But she knew he'd probably much rather have Zoe or Kaylee there than her. It's all right, really. They were the ones who were truly part of his crew, ones who had stayed with him when she'd decided to run back to where things were suppose to be uncomplicated.]

Of course.

[She nods slowly, stepping closer to where he is. She doesn't even notice the mistletoe bot that's hovering near by.]

Right, to remind us that we're criminals. Like we're going to forget that, being stuck here.

[Complicated. Always so complicated.

Mal should be paying attention for the mistletoe bots. After all, he did end up smooching Aiden earlier. He was at least aware they existed. But as always, he's a bit more muddled with Inara there. Especially as she's significantly closer now.]

Been a long time since I was last stuck planet-bound. An' it sure ain't natural to be under the water. Least the folks on Bellerophan is smart enough to stay above it.

[She has no idea about the bots and had she known, she most certainly would have been avoiding Mal. They truly didn't need something like a mistletoe bot complicating things for them, they did that enough on their own.]

I suppose they picked underwater because it's impossible to escape from.

[She smiles slightly.]

You don't remember, or know, but we left Saffron in a garbage bin on Bellerophan.

We met with that piece of shit again? I hope the garbage bin was the moment we met her.

[He would have said more except the pesky bot finally announced itself. Mal looked around, surprised, when it started shrieking. Kissing Aidan was one thing. It likely wouldn't complicate matters between them, even though it was uncomfortable. Kissing Inara on the other hand...]

	Actually, you did. And got it into your head to work with her. She of course tried to double cross you, but we knew-- [Anything else she was about to say was forgotten the moment the bot made itself known. Her eyes widened and she looked around a bit confused.] Why is it doing that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hollerin' for us to kiss? Hell if I know. [He's not happy. Not one bit. But the barrier is already closing in on them, pushing them closer together.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shénme? [And even as she speaks, she's being pushed toward him and she's shaking her head.] It's a joke, right? [She's truly trying not to panic. It's not as though she hasn't kissed him before, but he doesn't know that. And he won't either.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-01-28 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Weren't a joke when it trapped me'n... that don't matter. [And truly, he thought that had been difficult. This was infinitely more so. But they didn't have much choice. Soon enough they'd be pressed against each other with no where to go.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notquitegeisha 2014-01-28 05:01 am UTC (link)
	[As stupid as she knew it was, she couldn't stop the jealousy that surged through her. He'd already... No, she wouldn't go down that path again. But soon there was just a few inches separating them, and she lifted her gaze to meet his. She swallowed opening her mouth to speak and found that she really didn't know what to say to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Mal was tired of this. It was only the second bot and he was tired of it. He didn't like being forced to do things he didn't want to do. But that was wrong. He did want it. Locked away in his brain with the things he never acknowledged. Still, he didn't like being forced.

But the barrier was closing and she was looking up at him, her mouth opened to say something. Mal decided he didn't want to hear it. Whatever she said would make it more difficult. He reached an arm out to pull her closer, his face a mixture of terror, anger, and longing. And then, barely aware his lips met hers.]

[He was kissing her. At first that was the only thing she could rightly think on. Malcolm Reynolds was kissing her and she was standing there frozen and unmoving.

Then her hands were suddenly gripping his arms, almost as though she was trying to anchor herself in place, and maybe she was because her head felt as though it was swimming.

She quickly broke the kiss, her heart pounding as she stared up at him, her gaze darkening with unspoken longing because as long as she had denied it, she wanted him kissing her.

When she does speak, she voice is shaky.]

I-I believe that's enough.

	[There's a very, very faint grown of displeasure when she steps away, but it's for the best. Mal's voice comes out a more husky than normal, clearly affected. He's about to respond, quickly looking for a sharp retort when the bot answers for him. "KISS BETTER!"] I didn't do that... I swear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know.

[And really, as much as she would have loved to have blamed it on him, she knew that she couldn't.

She swallowed, her gaze moving to his lips. They had to kiss better. That's what they'd just been instructed to do. So, if they did, it wasn't as if they had a choice, it was what they had to do. At least that's what she was trying to convince herself.

But she knew she wanted it, Buddha help her, she did.

And before she could change her mind or even begin to talk herself out of it, she was moving one of her hands to cup the back of his neck and she was drawing his head down as she was lifting her own and she kissed him. Kissed him exactly how she'd been wanting to for the longest time.]

[And Mal let her. He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. But he didn't want to stop. For maybe the first time in his life, he let himself relax as he gripped her tighter, one hand tangling in her hair as she deepened the kiss. He didn't notice when the bot cheered and spat confetti at them. He was too busy with what he was doing to even care. This was where he wanted to be, where he shouldn't be, but where he was going to stay until he had to leave. Because once it was over, things were going to get ugly and awkward damn quick.]

[And it seemed with just a kiss, all of Inara's resolve when it came to Mal, came tumbling down around her. The distance she had attempted to keep between them, it was all gone. She should have been breaking the kiss, breaking it and hurrying off to the safety of her small apartment. That would have been the smart thing to do, but for once in her life, Inara wasn't going to do the smart thing. She was going to be selfish and enjoy these few moments while she could. She snaked her arms around his neck and drew herself against him as their kiss continued.]

	[Mal starts pushing her back against a wall of a convenient building. His hands move down her ribs and encircle her waist. It's just a matter of time before... He pulls back to breathe and looks down at her, torn between desire and mortification.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notquitegeisha 2014-02-01 07:24 am UTC (link)
	[The moment he breaks the kiss, Inara's eyes widen, her flushed cheeks reddening even more. Her breathing is a bit ragged and she quickly untangles her arms from around his neck.] Mal... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Oddly enough, he looks embarrassed, a look that is quickly being replaced by the general scowl he constantly has to hide what he's feeling. He clears his throat and steps away from her, immediately turning his head so she can't see the warring emotions on his face.] I... uh... I have somewhere to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Inara sucks a deep breath in, trying to control her emotions and not let him know exactly how hurt she feels by that ever present scowl of his.

Her gaze drops off to the side and she's rounding her shoulders and soothing her hands over the front of her outfit. And when she finally looks back to him, her expression is oh so carefully schooled and she quickly steps off to the side so she can make a hasty get away.]

As do I. Good day, Captain.

[She nods her head once and quickly turns away, all but running in the opposite direction, away from him.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-02-13 03:23 am UTC (link)
	{Her schooled expression hurts. Her use of the term Captain is even worse.] Mal. I never was your captain. [Almighty Buddha does he need a drink. Mal flushes... stammers something that could be considered a goodbye, but she's already gone. He's quick to find the nearest pub.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
