I Fall
May 27, 2008
Firefly // Mal/River // NC-17
Mal and River have a difference of opinion. Spoilers for Serenity.
“I just wish everybody didn’t think I was so broken.” This time she didn’t look at him. Her voice sounded small, like it used to.
“You’re not broken,” he said, automatically.
“Tell that to my brother.”
“That’s not why he turned you down.”
“But it’s why you will.”
Mal had no words, only gaped at her.
“Go to bed,” she said, after a long minute.
And he did.
