Two Quarters and a Heart Down...
Title: Two Quarters and a Heart Down...

Summary: Mal's perspective on Inara as they dance in 'Shindig'. Inspired by 'Dance, Dance' by Fall Out Boy
Rating: G
Characters: Mal, Inara, mentions of Atherton
Pairing: kind of Mal/Inara
Spoilers/Timeline: Set during 'Shindig'. No spoilers.
Disclaimer: I do not own Firefly or Fall Out Boy. Just the DVDs and two copies of From Under The Cork Tree. The series forever belongs to Joss, the lyrics come from the whacked, crpytic mind of Pete Wentz, and the music and the misery was written and played by Patrick Stump and Fall Out Boy.
Author's Note: I originally wrote this to finally start on a challenge I took up in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ficalbum but I got booted because it took so long to start(Mal/Inara is harder to write than I thought). Even if I'm not allowed back in, I'm still going to finish the challenge because From Under The Cork Tree is Mal and Inara, even if Peter doesn't realize it.
1, 2, 3...1, 2, 3...
This dance...I don’t know how Inara puts up with it. Not just the gorram dance we’re trying to attempt, but this dance she does in front of these people. How she pretends to be in love with Atherton or anyone of her customers for that matter.
But Atherton...he treats her like some sort of trophy.
1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3...
To these men, she’s nothing but a prize. If she’s on their arm, they’re the richest ones. She’s nothing but extra money spent on a pretty doll. They don’t see the soul. The woman she is. The things that make her truly beautiful. Everything behind the dance and the mask.
1, 2, 3...Oof!
I really hate dancing anyway.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead...
