This isn't Proper
CHARACTERS: Simon and Kaylee
LOCATION: Building A
TIME: Near sunset
NOTES: n/a

Simon nearly burst into #301A but restrained himself. If something really was going on with Kaylee's memories, he'd have to assess the situation calmly. Aggitating her might cause further damage before he could determine what was going on.

Breathing calmly, he knocked on the door and waited for her to open it.

Simon laughed slightly. "I never thought I'd have to go over this again." He guided Kaylee to the bed. "Listen Kaylee. I'm not going to go into much detail, but the day Wash died, we all faced death. And it made me realize something. I've been so focused on being the perfect brother, the perfect guardian for River. And I felt that to do this, I had to cut myself off from everything, and everyone, that I wanted."

Simon took a deep breath. You'd think doing this again would be easier the second time. "And when I faced my own death, when I was lying bleeding, with my medical bag miles away, one of the things, the only thing I found myself regretting, was that I hadn't spent more time with you. That I hadn't allowed myself to be close to you."

	Well, this was...unexpected. Smiling through her tears as she looked up at Simon, Kaylee raised a hand to touch his cheek, "Well, look at that," She said, her smile widening ever so slightly. "For once, you said something right," (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"To be fair," Simon laughed. "This is the second time I had to say it, so I had some practice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Guess that does make some difference," Kaylee said, a quiet amusement in her voice as she looked up at her, really unsure where to go next. It was a lot to take it all at once, and she wasn't sure that it was something that she was really prepared for. The other Kaylee had had six months, six months more time, six months more experiences than she did.

So she just sat there, looking up at him for a long moment before leaning forward and slowly wrapping him in a hug, "Well, I'm glad that you said it again. Leaves me the trouble of draggin' it out of ya when I finally do get fed up."

Simon hugged her back, taking it all in before he knew he had to break it. "I'm not sure where this leaves us," he admitted sheepishly. "I can't... I can't expect to just pick up where we... I mean, I left off." Simon felt it was probably best he didn't mention where exactly they "left off" or how quickly they got to that point after his initial confession. "It's... well, I'm fairly sure this is unprecedented for either of us. So what happens next... is up to you."

"We can just wait and see?" Kaylee suggested, offering him a very light smile. She was still sweet on him, she had to admit that, and him finally admitting after so long of her expecting and waiting for it was what she had been hoping for for so long. But right now, she definitely wasn't ready for all that it entitled. Not with this situation and the other revelations to deal with on top of that.

"That sounds fine," Simon smiled, masking his disappointment. He had secretly hoped that they could get back to where they had been, even though he couldn't expect it of her. He had kept her waiting for so long, it was unfair for him to just expect things to move when he was ready, just because it had before. Last time well... things had been right, they had both been in the same place. It shamed him slightly to think that it was the death of their friend that got them there.

But this wasn't about him. This was about Kaylee. And what she needed now. He was sure they would make it in the end.
