jamjarMal doesn't like to think of things much.
And sometimes the way Simon and River acted round each other made him downright uncomfortable.
When Mal thought of how he was at the age- and there's another thing he didn't like to think of much, because it's just embarrassing and painful, how young he was- he remembered how raw he was, how unfinished. Simon Tam looks finished and polished and it seems kind of incongruous with his age, smooth skin and hands.
Because when they're all touchy-feely like that, when Simon is petting his sister and stroking her hair, and she's leaning into him, panicking and like he's the only solid thing in the world, sometimes it's hard to remember that they're brother and sister and not something more. Or less.
