A/n note i will not be doing a lot of the plot, just major points that affect the other characters

Sweets pov

As we got out of the atmosphere, I realized i was following Mal around, but i couldn't help it he felt like a safe space. weird, i know, but i always follow my instincts, and they have never led me astray, so why start now i know he knows im following him around to the kitchen.

Once there, i see it's just us. Mal goes to sit down, and i run to my room to grab the canteen in my bag full of ground coffee. i run back, and Mal is still there. i have the canteen behind my back. Mal looks up at me, and i smile and blush. " What do you got there, sweet?" he asks "its a suprise, so just sit and wait." he chuckles but nods  his head. i turn around and start to boil water. Blushing at the sound of his voice.

I open the can teen and there inside is a cheese cloths stained from the coffe i take two scoops and put it in the cloth tieing it shut next i take the water that has boiled and pour it over the grounds. Soon, the room smell of fresh coffee. Mal groans, and i feel heat fill my cheeks and stomach.

"That smells amazing sweet how did you even get coffee grounds?" he asks, still not facing him. i dont think i could yet. "That's a secrets " i says. After i was done, i had him the coffee cup, and he took a deep breath of the hot drink before slowly sipping it. For a moment, he smiles, and the stress from only an hour ago seems to leave his body.

I sit next to him as he sips the coffee i made for a few. It's quiet, and it's comfortable. That's when he speaks, " Why is someone  as innocent  looking as you out in this dangerous  world? i know you said you needed to keep moving, but why?" I sigh for a momemt i dont answer. Just looking into his eyes, it made me want to fall deep into little space, but now was not the time. " You are very loyal to your crew and prorective, so i know you're  not bad even if you do scetchy work." he looked surprised that i knew. " dont worry, im on your side. To answer your question. On my planet, my people and i we are gifted, but all gifts are the same. Mine just happens to be related to plants. We knew of the other worlds, but we were content not being involved. But the alliance  showed up, and once they saw what we could do. I dont know why. My guess is out of fear. they eradicated my plant, blew it up. my mother was able to help me escape with her gift. once i landed on a strange world, i had no idea what to do. everything i knew was gone. so i just kept moving. If i was caughtbi knew they would kill me or, worse, do what they did to my brother. " after i was done speaking Mal sighed " im so sorry but what is this gift you talked about" i smiled shyly and help out my hand there grew a daisy i plucked it and put it behind his ear chuckling lightly.

He looked shocked. " Did you just grow a flower ?" I smile a little." Yes, i can grow anything anywhere even if the soil is baren." To say Mal was shock was an understatement. He just looked at me. i grew a bit self-conscious and asked if he was afraid  of me to the pulled him out of it, and he shook his head no. He grabbed my hand, looking at it before i saw River walk in. He pulls away, and im blushing. River sees me and smiles she walks up to me and pets my hair. " Hi River, does Simom know you're up?" she just winks and walks away.

After that, Mal finishes his coffee, and i tell him he can have some whenever. It was getting late. I go to kaylees room to sleep as Mal goes to his bunk. I note where it is for future reference if i need him.

Once in bed, i know it won't me a peaceful sleep as i fall to sleep. i knew i was right. The nightmares start, and only  4 hours later im waking up in a cold sweat. It was one of the bad ones, and i wanted to cry. i knew i was in little space. I guess i screamed in my sleep loud enough to wake someone cause next thing in now. Mal is holding as tears stream down my face." I sowey didn't mean to wake you up." he lifts my face with his thumb and fore finger as tears still stream down my face. " It's ok, i wasn't alseep." If he noticed the change in speech, he didn't say. He pulls me closer, so im sitting in his lap. he lifts me up and off the be. How he climbed the ladder and down into his room is a mystery  to me. He sits in his bed again with me in his lap for a few mimemts he doesnt say anything as i calm down. " Are you a little ?" Is all he asks. i blushed and tried to push away embaressed he found out. " It's alright if you are." i stop struggling and just hide my face in his chest. " How did you know?" It's obvious  when you know what to look for," he says. i raise my head to look at him with shock. "Oh," is all i can say. i then realize im still in his lap and a blush ovwr takes my face. He definitely  saw cause he chuckles and pets my hair like River had done before.

I bite my lip and say, " Why are we in your  room?". "More space and easier  to help you  calm down." One of his hands rests on my waist as his other hand petting my hair falls to hold me closer. Looking up at him, i bite my lip his grip toghtens for a moment, only to loosen back up. " If yoy want to go back to kaylees' room bow you can." I look at him sad but dont move. "You could stay here too. i won't make a move on you if you do. I'll even go, and you can stay here." I whimper a little gripping his shirt. " Please stay insay quietly i domt wann be alone" he smiles softly and shifts me off his lap and lays on the bed obly to open his arms inviting  me to cuddle up to  him I smile and curl up against his side. My arm wraps around his middle as his goes around to hold me close. It inly took a few moments for me to fall asleep.

MAL POV

what am i doing? Im not this person, but something about her makes me this way. Makes me want to sheild her from the univers. She shifts in her sleep some, throwing her leg over one of my legs clinging to me in her sleep. She is so cute. I can't help but stare at her as she sleeps. They way she bit her lip earlier sent heat and lust threw me. i wanted to kiss her and make her mine. On top of everything, she is a little. What are they odds. I have been a daddy for a long time and just never found a little. Most women just wanted sex for a night. But she is a true little sweet and innocent  to the point i want to ravage her, making her crave only me. Fuck what is wrong with me. I need to stop thinking she probably  would go for me. i look over at the daisy on the sink in a small cup of water. I look back at her maybe she would she did seek my comfort even if I came to her. They way she held on to me as she cried and didn't let go even after. Im so fucked she is gonna be the death of me. I close my eyes pulling her tighter to me wishing and hopeing she would be my babygirl.
