Also, the title I am using "You and Me and The Moon" is song title from The Magnetic Fields.
Pairing(s): Eventual Mal/Simon
A/N's: "You and Me and The Moon" is a sequel to my other fic "O Captian! My Captian" (Although it isn't required that you read it, but it might be nice to).
This fic will be in chapters. I'm not sure how many yet. Please give me Feedback? It will be loved, so loved.
"So Doc whatcha gonna buy with your share once we dock in the mornin'?" Kaylee smiles beautifully at Simon as she waits for an answer. He raises his head up from his untouched protein dinner to meet her gaze.
The crew is all in attendance for dinner minus Mal, having previous important "Captain" obligations to take care of.
Simon had begun to respond before River cuts him off.
"Simon needs not the material bounty. His true treasure lies within his beloved's four chambers." River spoke, right beside her brother. Her eyes were downcast and smirking.
Jayne glares at River, preparing to make a comment, but he decides against it when Zoe sends him an unyielding glare from across the table. Jayne retreats from the table with a grunt with one last glare at the crew.
River giggles for a moment her long wavy hair framing her face. She raises her head quickly; an amused expression placed upon her pretty features. With one last look at her brother she gets up from the table and curtsy's at the crew before walking away in slow wispy strides.
Inara politely ignores the approaching gossip; instead she opts to hold a conversation with Shepherd, who is more than happy to comply.
Simon is looking back down at his dinner. He can feel the curious looks from the crew which makes his face flush in embarrassment. He slowly raises his head, only to meet Kaylee's warm inviting eyes.
"She has quite an imagination." Simon said, while staring past Zoe's head.
Wash smirks knowingly at his wife. Zoe stretches back in her chair and rests an arm on her husband's shoulders. With her other hand she rubs up and down his chest lazily. She leans over and whispers something in his ear which elicits an obvious excitement in the pilot's features.
"Let us go, wife." Wash said with a grin.
Zoe smiles to herself and nods her head respectively at Inara before getting up from her chair with her husband in tow. She briefly touches Simon's shoulder before departing.
Kaylee continues to hum quietly until Mal enters the kitchen. The Captain comes in looking somewhat disorientated. He glances briefly at Simon before nodding at the empty seats at the table.
"Now what did Ya'll do with my crew?"
