River looked annoyed at that, but resignedly got off from on top of her and lay back beside her on her back in bed. ”I hate logic.” She said, or more like muttered disgruntledly.

Kaylee smiled and got up on top of her, kissing her neck a little and then snuggling in close. ”I know what you mean.”

”Can we just lay here a while then? I really want to, and it might be needed for… some reason.” River asked, wrapping her arms around Kaylee’s back.

”Yeah… we can do that.” Kaylee agreed, contentedly closing her eyes and settling into cuddle with her girlfriend for a while. Somehow it felt like just what she needed in fact.

They were just silent like that for Kaylee wasn’t sure how long, but it was amazing how just nice it felt. How… how just all of perfect. Even with everything else their situation had them needing to do and all, it really did just seem completely ideal in the right here and now.

Finally though, Kaylee got up on one elbow and brushed some strands of hair away from River’s face, their eyes meeting and neither of them seeming to want to look away. ”We have to make plans you know…” She told her.

”A friend to dig up, and enemies to give proper funerals. I’m not very fond of irony either.” River explained with a little of a smile.

”At least neither of us will be doing any of it alone.” Kaylee reassured with a little frank adoration in her voice. Because really, it was a bit incredulous how deeply she felt like she was falling in love with this woman under her. She felt like maybe she should sing a song or write a poem or do something equally as silly and hopelessly romantic. But, in this case, they really did have miles to go before they slept again (or at least would have tomorrow), so she figured she’d have to put a lot of that sort of thing on hold for a while. Which was probably for the best, since she wasn’t that great a singer and had never written much poetry before either.

River smiled. ”You are poetry and song, Kaylee, the best kind of all… didn’t you know that?”
