Where Security means babysitting your jailed bro.

It was pretty late on the ship, and Dean had crashed out in a chair near the brig that was holding his brother. Any advice to go find a real bed was ignored because he's the big brother and he knows better. Also while Sam was stuck here with Schmuz still in his head, he just wanted to keep a close eye. Make sure there were no problems. The puppy Bobby was currently curled up near the bars of Sam's cell, also asleep.

Sometimes Dean twitched and whimpered a little in his sleep as some of his dreams were less than restful.

The passing mechanic, fresh out of work at Kang's tavern, rolled her eyes as she neared. The urge to keep walking and let him sleep would have been satisfied if she hadn't seen Dean twitch out of the corner of her eye. The twitch might have even gone without thought if it hadn't been followed by a whimper.

With a resigned sigh, Kaylee approached and gave Dean a gentle nudge. "C'mon, bao bei. This ain't gonna do you any good if you're spendin' tomorrow with a crick in your neck."

Kaylee's reflexes were actually pretty sluggish, but she'd learned fairly quickly to stand a bit back when waking Dean. If it did hit her, it didn't come across as much more than a tap, not that she'd really say anything to him either way.

"Not much of a choice to it when you're sittin' here whimperin' like a lost puppy, is there?" And speaking of puppies, Kaylee leaned down to give Bobby a good petting as she continued. "Not breakfast, no. Few hours still til that. You should really be findin' your way into a real bed before then, though."

No one ever liked attention being brought to anything around here. Didn't mean it wasn't there. Kaylee sighed, and continued petting Bobby. "Passin' out in a chair ain't keepin' an eye. You'd be better off in a bed, where you wouldn't be sore in the mornin'. Bet you'd feel a whole lot more refreshed, too."

"Ain't overrated if there's an emergency and you can't stay focused." She played as stern as she could, but his winking didn't help her case much. "I won't disagree with the latter, either, but I'm thinkin' you need sleep before you need anythin' else."

Kaylee raised her eyebrows. "Which means you need to. Would it help if I bribed you into it?"

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee knew better than to believe him there. It wasn't hard to put yourself in a place where you thought you were fine, only to have something you couldn't quite handle come up. Better safe than sorry.

"You get yourself some sleep, and I'll bake you a pie for when you wake up. Fresh ingredients and everythin'. No slop, no sensoriums. And if you'd like, I'll even keep an eye out here while you're gone."

Five was a start, but he would need time to settle a bit. She wanted to make sure he came back rested.

"Six, and we'll call it a deal."

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but that just means you got more to catch up on. Five and a half, and I ain't acceptin' any lower than that."

Kaylee glanced back at the brig and shrugged.

"Can come to do it now, if you like. Start it off right..." And as an afterthought, "Don't think it'll be countin' toward your time, though."

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
If Bobby was going to stay guard, so much the better. She might even be able to take a little longer at tucking Dean in this way...

Kaylee leaned up to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Nope, not countin' toward the time, even if you beg."

A little jump, just enough to get away from the attacking hand.

"We'll just have to wait and see how good of a job you do of it~"

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Of course he was. Kaylee just stuck her tongue out at him and started walking.

"You comin', or am I gonna have to start by myself?"

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Have a slug to the arm, Dean.

"Yeah yeah. I can always stay here, if you like?"

"I dunno, you're right, that chair does look mighty comfortable..."

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
"You sure? I think I might just be able to make myself nice 'n cozy on it."

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee glanced up at Dean, with one of those I-Told-You-So looks on her face.

"I got my point made, then? Just wanna be sure." And she wouldn't move until he agreed, either.

Grinning, Kaylee laced her fingers through Dean's, and started pulling him down the hall.

"Long as you understand~"

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, she caught it alright, and offered up a small smile. "C'mon, let's get you to bed."

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"You can always stop by 'n sleep in Serenity, y'know. She's plenty good at makin' a body feel welcome and not so alone." Kaylee knew that well. With no crew around except herself, she spent plenty of time on the ship alone.

She gave Dean's hand a squeeze, and pulled him inside.

"Seein' as it's just me 'n her at this point, the company'd be appreciated. When Sam gets out, he could even jump on too. If he wanted, anyhow."

She gave him a small tug, urging him to get to his bed a little faster. The sooner he got some sleep, the better.

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"And I'll make sure to follow up on it, so you both know I mean it."

She holds back for only a second before flopping lazily onto the bed next to him, and cuddling up close to his chest. "Better already."

She had expected just as much, and she wasn't about to do anything that might ruin his heading for sleep. A hand ran over his forehead, but other than that she tried to keep settled. It would be easier for him to sleep if she wasn't playing the distraction.

Kaylee was even better with the idea of ten than five, but she wasn't exactly going to get her hopes up until it happened. It wasn't a long wait before he fell asleep, though she waited a few extra minutes to make sure he was there before she carefully pulled away, kissed his forehead, and headed back toward Sam.
