TM challenge 117: Who is the one person that you would really like to know what they are thinking (a
Simon chewed his thumbnail while going over the plans one more time. He tried to come up with contingencies, bizarre things that could go wrong, and figure out how they should respond. He tried to think like the people who'd helped him break River out.
He tried not to worry about what Kaylee thought about him. Chaos, but he wished he knew! She was unrepressed when it came to sex and he was fairly certain he pleased her... but she'd had a lot more sexual partners than he had. He was afraid that he might not measure up in the comparison.
And now that they were... an 'item'.. he wondered if her passion for him might wane, just as his for her was finally allowed to wax. And at the other end of the pendulum, might she just like having him around as a matter of convenience, something he'd so flippantly joked about that day they paid 5 bits to see the misshapen bovine fetus.
Her only options other than him was a man twice her age, or a man twice her size.
He really wished he knew what she felt for him, what she thought about him, what she wanted from him. If she didn't really love him, then it could be easy. Sex for convenience and no deep feelings to be hurt later when circumstances changed and he could finally get the hell off this boat at a safe harbor.
But if she did really really love him with all her heart and soul, and wanted to be with him forever... what then? Could he really bear to know it? Could he somehow become worthy of it? Could they possibly build around it?
