In the bedroom, it was the opposite. Mal always had to stop and think, to ponder the ramifications of their actions. Simon always wanted to jump right in and just see what happened.
So as Simon left hard bruising kisses all over Mal's chest and stomach, some part of Mal was running through his list. Crew unity. Ability to make objective decisions as captain. Distractions in a dangerous job. Likelihood that this will end badly and the crew won't have a doctor. Inara will be upset, maybe jealous. Jayne will be upset, definitely jealous. Zoe will laugh. Hard. And Often. We could hurt each other. We could hurt each other physically if we do all the things Simon comes up with. We would have to explain the injuries to everyone....
"Mal. I think it's time for you to concentrate."
"Maybe we should - I mean, I think that this is not going to - I mean, is this really wise?"
"Wisdom is not required, Mal." Simon answered, glancing at Mal's erection, "The readiness is all."
