"You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walking on broken glass
Like my world's spinning in slow motion
And I'm moving too fast"
~ "Chemicals React" by Aly & AJ
When it comes to Mal, she can't tell which way is up and which way is down. He is so very different to any other man she's ever known and is so very hard to read. The moment she believes she has figured him out, something else is revealed to shred that theory into tiny fragments of glass. She is always left a step or two behind where she had been before the turnaround in his antics.
When it comes to Mal, she never quite knows what to expect. She has learned that with him it is best not to make any predictions. Rarely does he take the simpler road - he seems rather fond of trudging through the woods instead - and yet when you least expect it, he will follow the easy path.
When it comes to Mal, her thoughts are a mess of confusion, tangled and knotted and tied so securely in her mind that she has no choice but to listen to them. Her heart yearns for him. A part of her hates him. A part of her loves him. It makes her head spin. It makes her dizzy. It makes her hate him more and love him more. It makes her wish for a different kind of torture - any kind will do.
When it comes to Mal, she knows that while she'll probably never figure him out and she'll probably always find some error in his ways, she'll also never leave him. No amount of planets between them will keep her away for too long, because Mal has become her home just as Serenity is his.
