( All of my memories kept you near...Collapse )

You want to know my ruttin' opinion about God? You really want ta know?

It's simple. Plain. No big mystery. He exists. Yeah, you heard me right, He exists.

But, He ain't on my gorram boat.

Too busy takin' care of all my friends up there with him ta care about me and my lit' boat.

Too damn busy.

Preacher said that Faith fixs you. Said that if a man seeks then he shall find. Well, I'm tired of seekin'. God wants ta find me, He knows where I am.

He found Wash and da Preacher just fine. Hell, he found all my men on Serenity Valley just fine. Believe he will find me too one day. Till than I will just keep flyin'.

And God can just catch up.

It was quiet in the galley. Hell, the whole gorram ship as quiet since everyone went to bed. Everyone except Mal. He was sitting at the dining room table, leaning back in his chair, nursing some wine in a tin cup with a far off look on his face.

“God, Sarge, you gonna drink it!?”

“Hell, yeah! Either that or die of thirst and how bad could it taste anyway?”

A smile comes to the Captain’s lips as the memory of how bad it really did taste comes back to him. Hell, they had nothing else to drink in that damn trench and survival was survival.

He sighs and shakes his head clear of the memory and looks down and finishes off the rest of the wine in his cup. He stares at the now empty tin cup with a shake of his head.

“Don’ gonna drink piss no more.” He murmurs standing up and looking around the galley. He walks back to the counter and sets the cup down onto it. He gives sigh and turns. “Not no more…..”

And he heads to his bunk with a soft smile on his face.

It was mid-day and Mal was walking to the bridge to check on Sadie when he hears soft crying from the engine room. His face reads concern and he turns to walk inside. He stops at the door and looks to his left and finds Kaylee. She was laying in her hammock and she was crying.

He steps inside and kneels down next to her. "Hey there Kaylee, what's the matter?" he asks softly.

She sniffles. "Simon." she said simply not looking at him. "Simon happened, Cap'n."

He blinks at her. "What he do, mei mei? Tell me."

She still doesn't look him in the face, but down at her hands. "We made love last night." she whispered. "It was so nice, so loving, so-"

Mal stops her and pats her softly on the arm with a warm smile. "Spare me as many details as possible, k, Kaylee?"

She gives a smile and nods. "And than, this mornin' when I met him in that nexus cafe place, he told me it was over. That there wasn't much there anyway and that I should forget about it. Said we both knew it would never work out."

She starts to cry again and Mal pulls her into a hug. She sniffles against his chest. "Said that I was a great girl, but he didn' think it would work. And I asked him about......about last night....and he said it didn't matter." She starts to cry harder. "I told him I loved him last night, Cap'n and he said it didn' matter!"

Mal holds her close. "Shh...there, Kaylee." he says softly. "It ain't your fault that the gorram doctor is a son of a bitch." he states.

Kaylee nods. "Don' make it any easier, Cap'n." she states softly.

He nods. "I am sorry, Kaylee. I wish there is somethin' I could-" he paused as if an idea struck him.

Kaylee looked up at her Captain. "What?"

He turns and gives her a warm smile and kisses the top of her head. "Don' you worry none." he states standing up. "I will take care of it."

She gives him a confused look. "Take care of what?"

"Don' think the Doctor and River will be stayin' with a us much longer." he says walking to the door.

She blinks. "No. It's ok. Really." she says softly.

Mal spins to her. "No. It's not." he states before turning and leaving the engine room. He headed towards the infirmary as Kaylee curled up in her hammock as her world came crashing down.
