See, I think it was just a matter of time. I see shades of Willow/Oz and Giles/Jenny -- couples that were wonderful and sweet, but had many outside impediments that eventually exploded into badness and angst. One of my favourite of such scenarios is the idea that something very bad happens to River or one of the crew (in protecting River) because Simon's off spending time with Kaylee. Oh, the self recrimination and angst! (poor woobie)
So I don't think wedding bells would be chiming. In fact, I see a relationship having just as much tention as the pre-relationship period with these two. One step forward, two steps back. And there's more than enough UST with Mal and Inara;) And while Simon can seem the perfect hero... his interactions with Kaylee often bring his flaws to the forefront, so I think the relationship would complicate things nicely for him. Not borning to me at all!
Heee! I know!!! Or considering that they haven't kissed yet (according to Joss)... wasn't hoping to sleep with said person;) Seriously, rewatch the scene and look at exactly where her feet are. The word lap could easily be replaced with crotch, as the wonderful sffan pointed out, despite her slash coloured glasses;) That scene never fails to make me happy!
