Simon's eyebrows furrowed in concern as Kaylee briskly shifted out of his embrace, shrinking away from where she'd just been wrapped up in his arms. He'd said nothing but nice things. He figured it was probably a mood swing. Sighing lightly, Simon reached out to her, wanting to touch her, to reassure her.
"It means exactly what it sounds like it means," Simon said softly. "Now you should rest, baobei, I think you're having mood swings."

Kaylee looked ready to cry as a matter of fact, she could feel the hot tears coursing down her cheeks.
"Yer a liar," she cried, and slapped him hard across the cheek. "Leave me alone Simon Tam, I don' even wanna see ya righ' now." She curled into her hammock and turned her back to him to prove she meant it. How could he be so callous? He was heartless and she wanted him gone.

Simon could readily admit that he hadn't seen the slap coming. His cheek stung something fierce as he pulled back a little, giving Kaylee some space as she rolled over to face away from him. He had no clue what he'd said to hurt her. All he'd told her was that he loved her with every fiber of his being, for everything that she was. He swallowed thickly and sighed, watching her even though she was no longer looking at him.
"I'm sorry, Kaylee," he said softly. "I... I don't know what... I'm sorry. Please, look at me."

She shifted but didn't say anything. His apologies didn't help, they only hurt. "Please go away?" she whined, her voice muffled and small.
Kaylee curled herself into a ball resolutly not facing him. If he couldn't figure it out it was his problem not hers. No matter how confused he seemed. It should have been obvious! Why wasn't it obvious to him that she was hurting? She squeezed her eyes shut, thinking she was a hundred times a fool. She loved him still and that's why it hurt. She couldn't just make it stop.

At her soft, weak request, the pain lacing her voice, Simon finally decided he couldn't stay and hurt her any more. He stood slowly and watched her for one more second before turning to walk away. His heart broke to see that he'd somehow managed to hurt her even though he'd just told her that she meant the world to him and he loved her. He really couldn't do anything right. He didn't know how he could make it up to her, apologize to her for the terrible thing or things he'd said, but he would think of something.
With one last glance at Kaylee's for in the hammock over his shoulder, Simon left the engine room, heading for his bunk with a pained heart.

Kaylee choked back a sob. So, he had finally left, just like she had asked. It hurt so gorram much and there was nothing to stop it this time. There was no way to make it better instantly.
It took her a while, but finally after crying to hard she felt there was nothing left to give, she fell into a fitful sleep.

Simon had spent the better part of an hour thinking of what he could do to make it up to Kaylee for hurting her. He didn't know what he was apologizing for, so he decided just to write from the heart instead of trying to make up for his mistakes. Maybe if he said the right thing in the letter he was planning on giving to Kaylee, she would forget all about whatever insipid words he'd said.
Sighing, Simon got to work. It took him the better part of another hour before the words came and he could write what he wanted to express, but he finally finished. Folding up the parchment, Simon sealed the letter with an old fashioned wax seal and headed out of his bunk toward the engine room. When he reached it, he found Kaylee asleep there in her hammock. He could see a sheen of tears still on her cheeks and it broke his heart all over again as he gently snuck in and rested the letter he'd written on the hammock beside her for her to find. He pondered giving her a kiss on the forehead but he didn't want to risk waking her, she needed her rest. With another sigh, Simon turned and left the room, heading for the infirmary.
Meanwhile, the letter rested at Kaylee's side, waiting to be read.
Dear Kaylee,
I suppose that's how a letter should start, even though I feel a little odd writing to you. I'm blessed with the good fortune of seeing you every day, but it still comes down to pen and paper. I can never say what I mean, and I make mistakes, I don't always mean what I say. I find it hard to find the right words around you. Maybe that's why I've decided to write to tell you what I need to say. Maybe I can write the words that I can never speak.
You make my heart skip, you're the only person that can make me smile, you restore my faith in people day in and day out. You've managed to find your way into my heart and to this day I wonder just how you did it. It's so easy, so right and natural to love you. It hurts so much to see you cry, especially when I know you're crying tears because of me. I want to take you in my arms, to hold you and promise you that everything will be alright, but I just manage to make things worse. I always thought that when I found the right person to love so much words would come easily and I'd find it the most simple, practiced thing in the world to be the perfect gentleman, but the truth is that love complicates things.
Please don't get me wrong, if that's how love is, I'm more than willing to accept all of the complications. I would accept anything the world could throw at me if it meant loving you and making you happy. That's all I want, is to make you smile, and laugh, to bring contentment to your life. I want to give back all that you've given to me, to show you how much I love you for everything that you are. You are a beautiful, brilliant, bright girl with a smile that could make the sun seem like a shadow cast. You are the most amazing person I've ever met and I want you to know that. I want you to remember that every time I say something to hurt you, or to make you feel anything less than happy.
I never thought I'd find anything out here, but you proved me wrong Kaylee. I found love out here, I found it in you, and in finding that I've found everything I could ever want. You've given me a life I thought I'd lost forever the day I left home. You love me for who I am, for what I am and what I'm not, just like I love you. I know it's not much, and I know I can't give you everything you want, all I have to give is myself, but I can love you like no one else can. I can protect you, take care of you and treat you like the angel that you are. Though I can't promise you the world, I can promise you a love that can conquer anything and everything.
I love you, Kaylee Frye, and I hope to God that it shows, because there is nothing more in the world I can do to show you just what you mean to me. There is nothing I can do that would ever be good enough for you. You are the best there is, nothing less. You are what I live for, you are my breath, my light.
Please take these words for what they are, the pure and simple truth, the only way I have to express how complicated and deep my love for you is. I haven't said nearly enough to justify my feelings, but that's because there is nothing more to say. Let me show you I love you, Kaylee. All I ask is that you give me a chance to touch you, to kiss you and show you things I cannot say.
I hope the things I've said here find their way to your heart and that you remember that I'm always here.
