Summary: Hm, Simon and Kaylee making out in the engine room. Betcha no one ever thought that would happen, eh?
Author's Notes: Short and sweet.
Simon walked into the engine room. It was late at "night", but Kaylee wasn't in her bunk like he'd expected. He checked the galley to see if she was getting a late-night snack, but she wasn't there either. So the engine room was pretty much the only place she could be.
Sure enough, she was lying under the engine, probably working on something that would one day keep them all from being horribly sucked into the black.
"Hey, Kaylee."
She pulled herself out from under the engine.
"Was wondering when you'd say somethin'. Saw you walk in." She smiled. She had seen him walk in. She just enjoyed the eye candy when he wasn't lookin'.
Kaylee reached up and grabbed Simon's shirt, pulling him down towards her, laughing when he nearly feel on top of her.
"Clutz."
"Am not! I'm perf-" Kaylee cut his protest off with what was originally planned to be a short kiss, but what quickly grew into making out like a couple of teens on prom night.
"Hon?" Kaylee said. "I'm hot."
"You sure are." Simon leaned in for another kiss, and was pushed away by Kaylee, who had erupted into laughter. "No, silly. Not like that. Temp'rature." They both looked over at the engine, where a small flame was quickly spreading.
"Gorrammit!" Kaylee pushed Simon off, who was staring transfixed at the fire.
She grabbed the fire extinguisher off the wall and quickly put out the fire. Simon shook his head, realizing that the 'crisis' was over… and Kaylee was giggling at him.
"What? I don't like fire." Simon smiled self-consciously. "C'mere." He drew her in and kissed her again.
This should stop her from giggling at me.
