Happy Christmas!

[hildigunnur]

Am sitting, all dressed up and waiting for Christmas to be rung in and I can't wait because I'm rather hungry. But I can't leave without a small holiday gift for my dear f-list. Well, at the least the sizable portion who likes Firefly.

Title: How Mal Almost Stole Christmas
Genre: Gen (hint of Mal/Inara)
Rating: PG-13 for innuendo

Mal didn't exactly dislike Christmas but this time of year always brought back forth uncomfortable memories and now that he had associate with someone who possible could read minds every day, he tried his best to suppress this dislike.  River was disturbed enough already.

But when Kaylee started merrily wrapping long streams of tinsel around the railing in the cargo hold, it was only her beaming smile that kept him from banning all and any Christmas thingies off Serenity.

That gorram farmhand of his mother who hadn't realised that by the age of fifteen Mal had rolled around in the hey with plenty of girls and damn his own curiosity about that brothel in the town. There were just some things that young men shouldn't witness and that included most certainly unorthodox uses of tinsel.

That was the real reason hewas stewing in his bunk instead of sitting in the canteen, eating that turkey Jayne had managed to procure on Beylix.

Damn Inara, why did she go and start touching all that tinsel for?
