Summary: Everyone thinks Mal's sneezing except for Simon.
Notes: Written for my 12 Ficlets in 12 Days in 2017-18 project project for Anonymous.

This is one of those that could have gone on a lot longer, but it was already a little long and I really just wanted to get to the good part (the sneezing). I hope you like it!

“We need to make a supply stop,” Simon told Wash, knowing Mal and Zoe were listening; it was hard to keep a secret on the ship, let alone in the cockpit. “I’m running low on medicine.”

“I’m better, Doc,” Mal said, clapping his chest. “No need to—”

“hahhtt-CHEHTTT!” Everyone turned toward the doorway where Jayne stood, snuffling into the back of his hand. “I need more pills, Doc.”

He needed to rest. He needed better food. And he needed to stop asking for medicine every hour. One of these times, Simon worried Jayne would try to ask using Vera.

17. Doctor
(Firefly)

“ha-haCHHHTTT!”

“Bless.” Simon forced a bunch of tissues into Mal’s hand.

He snuffled into them then lifted his head. “Don’t tell adyode I’b sick, dong ma?”

“I promise.” He patted the captain’s back and saw him out of the infirmary.

Not ten minutes later, there was a loud “hatShehhhh!” Busy disinfecting his instruments, Simon looked up to see Jayne in the doorway, sniffling into the back of his hand. “Don’t go tellid’ adybody I aid’t feelid’ so hot.” He shuffled inside.

Simon pressed a hand to the man’s forehead. “I promise,” the doctor said, for the fifth time that day.
