The card game broke up much later,
with much laughter and Jayne swearing that River had been cheatin� -� girl knew what was in everyone�s head anyhow,
so he wasn�t entirely clear on why he�d let her play�he�d somehow gotten
everyone else�s chores and even had to take out Mal�s trash.� Kaylee was yawnin� fit to kill as she left,
but she surprised him by throwin� her arms around him suddenly and kissing him
on the cheek. He felt his face start to grow warm before she shot him down with
�Thanks fer helpin� me out earlier, ge ge.�
Then she was gone and he was left starin� down at the pile of chores that he�d
�won.�
�The knife twists and pulls,�
River said solemnly.
�Shut the gorram hell up,� he snarled.�
�I don�t need no Crazy tellin� me somethin� she ain�t knowin� nothin�
about.�� Slamming his chair back, he rose
to his feet and headed for his bunk; there was a small flask of alcohol rolled
up in his clothes that should divert his mind from what would probably never be
his.� When he dug for it, he found that it
had somehow come uncapped and nearly all of his clean socks now smelled like
moonshine.� �Cao!� he swore, flinging the bottle across the narrow space where
it shattered like a bomb against the door.�
Now you have to clean it up if ya
don�t want cut feet � shiny.� Just�shiny.� Using his fingers to clear up the shards
wasn�t a great idea either, for he stabbed himself at least six times and then flung
himself onto his bed like a sulky boy after he wrapped his hands with the shirt
he had tried so hard to keep clean earlier.�
Nothin� seemed to be goin� right for him these days.
Punching the pillow angrily with
his good hand after struggling out of his clothing, he settled back to sleep�and
was startled by the sound of the hatch to his bunk opening.� Jayne curled his fingers around the nearby
Betty and sat up slowly, aiming up the ladder.�
�Stop right there,� he ordered, cocking the gun threateningly.
�Oh,� he heard his visitor gasp in
a very familiar voice.� �It�s just me.�
�Kaylee? What�n the �verse are you doin� here?� he sighed, lowering
the gun as the tiny mechanic shimmied down the ladder. �And why you wearin� that?� he demanded next once he saw that
she was dressed in only her combat boots and a long-sleeved shirt that barely
covered her� womanly parts.
She swayed closer to him.� �I just�I couldn�t sleep,� she admitted, �and
thought maybe you couldn�t either.� You
couldn�t, could ya? Sleep?�
Jayne swallowed hard � she weren�t
wearin� no bra � before he answered.�
�Didn�t get round to it, I guess��
�Oh, you�re hurt! Ya got bandages in here?� she whirled before he could say
�no� and went straight for the box of rags he kept for cleanin� his girls�the box
he kept on the floor.� Wo de ma, she weren�t wearin� no
panties, either!
�Kaylee, you�d better get yer tail
up that ladder and back to the bunk you belong in. Doc finds out you�re here,
you might be in a whole mess of trouble,� he warned.� Jayne hoped to Tien that she wouldn�t leave�
She turned and placed her hands on
her hips, starin� at him like she wanted a fight. �And what if I want to stay
here?�
He tried one last time.� �But you ain�t wearin� nothin��
Kaylee smiled in a way that set
his pulse to thunderin� in his ears and came over to
settle on his lap, sliding her arms around his neck.� �I just wanted to see you� she leaned forward
to place a kiss on his jaw �and tell you that� another kiss landed closer to
his mouth �I�ve been doing some thinkin� about�this.�� Tien almighty, he wanted her.� He groaned her name as one of her hands
drifted underneath his blanket to stroke his swollen cock.� Jayne thrust his fingers through the long
tangle of her hair and pulled her lips down to his, kissing her hungrily as he
pressed against her hand.� The sound of
her ragged breathin� and the feel of her, all soft
and smellin� nice � this was all he�d ever thought it
would be with her.� He tried to ignore
the dull pain in his cut fingers, which seemed to be growin�
worse, and concentrate on the woman on his lap as she slipped free of his arms
and settled between his legs with another one�a them
smiles.��
His eyes all but rolled back in
his head when he felt her lips on his skin � if only his hand would stop hurtin�, it�d be perfect � and groaned her name just he
jerked awake and fell to the floor with a crash so that all he had to show for
himself was stained sheets, aching fingers, and a bruised back.� Gorammit! It was just getting� good, too�� Well, he�d known that it was too good to be
true the moment his lyin� eyes had seen her come down
his ladder.� At least it was nearin� time for him to be awake anyhow � Jayne rubbed the
sleep out of his eyes with his left hand and wiped the right one on a rag he
wetted to clean his body off with � not the best of jobs, but it�d do until he
could get to the shower room. �That girl owes me more�n
twenty sets of new sheets,� he grumbled to himself, inspecting his sore
fingers.� The cuts which had started to
close over had opened up again because of her, too; he�d go ask Doc for somethin� as soon as he got some clothes on.� The thought that he might be able to scare
Simon awake again mightily appealed to him and he dressed hurriedly, grinning
with anticipation of the other man�s annoyance.�

Simon was fast asleep and dreaming
of a successful operation that would cement his fame in the Centralized Worlds.� �You�ve done it, Dr. Tam,� the nurse beamed
at him.� �The first successful head
transplant in history!� The entire operating team clamored for a speech, and he
raised his hands for silence.
�I�d like to thank each and every
one of you for-�
�Unfortunately for those who looked like they
really wanted to hear his speech, Jayne�s bellow of �DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!�
startled him into wakefulness and made him fall out of the bed in
surprise.� Simon scrambled into his
clothes and ran to the infirmary, stubbing his toe painfully on a pile of books
River had stacked in front of his door.� Limping the rest of the way and expecting to find a
dismembered body on the examination table, he came to an abrupt half when he
found himself facing a huge mercenary with papercuts
on his fingers.� �Think you could take care�a these?� Jayne asked, extending his hand and looking
inordinately pleased with himself.
�You got me up � and out of a very
pleasant dream � for that? You�ve got
to be kidding me,� Simon groaned.
Jayne grinned.� �You fall out of bed?�
�Yes,� he replied sourly.� Every time he thought Jayne could be no more
aggravating, the man surpassed himself with something like this.
�There is justice in the �verse after all, then�but we was
talkin� about you fixin� me
up?�
The big man waggled his fingers at
Simon, who sighed and grabbed his wrist to look.� �Let me hazard a guess as to how this
happened � flipping the pages of a girlie magazine too quickly? Never mind�just
hold still while I seal the cuts.� He kept one hand on the inside of Jayne�s
wrist while he stretched out his other hand to open a small drawer and withdraw
the tiny tube of wound sealant.
Footsteps sounded outside the door
and he heard Kaylee�s voice ring out in greeting.� �Mornin,� Simon � hey there, Jayne.� Simon
turned as she came in, remembering with sudden clarity what he had promised her
that he would do the previous night�and didn�t. �Oh, you�re hurt!� she gasped as she came closer,
and Jayne�s pulse began to speed under Simon�s fingers � he thought the huge
merc might well have heart failure when next she said, �Ya got bandages in here
or what?�
�Jayne? Are you feeling okay?� he
asked, concerned.� Simon sincerely hoped
that he wasn�t having a heart attack � from the size of the man, he�d most
likely have to cut a main power line in the ship to restart Jayne�s heart.� The other man looked at him, then down at
where he was touching his pulse point.�
�I�m fine,� he said quickly,
pulling his hand away.� �Just seal them
cuts like I asked and don�t ask so many gorram
questions.�
So that was what was going on.�
Simon tried not to smile at the thought of Jayne losing his heart to a
woman not even half his size and replayed the previous night�s
conversation.� Yes, he was in love with
her � and had been for some time, if he thought about it; he had been ready to
kill the spy who had accidentally shot Kaylee when he and River had first come
onboard, and later had taken the utmost care in carrying her to the engine room
when they had needed to escape from the Reavers.� Simon sealed the cuts on the big man�s
fingers and sent him on his scowling way, then dealt with the other scowling
individual in his life who gave him a dressing down for forgetting her before
she whirled to leave.� He stopped his
hand from reaching out and stopping her, and simply watched as she stalked off
to the engine room to work off her temper.
Setting the room to rights only
took a few seconds and checking in on River only showed that she was happily
writing down nonsense phrases in one of the small journals that Shepherd Book
had gifted her with.� �What are you up
to, mei mei?� he asked
affectionately.�
�I�m writing a novel,� she
informed him seriously.� �It�s about a
woman who loves someone but is loved by another.� Someone will be getting disemboweled, I�m
afraid.� But that�s not until later in
the story.�
He grinned, knowing exactly what
she was talking about.� �Is there a happy
ending?�
River cocked her head to the
side.� �I�m not sure yet.�
�Neither am I.�
�I thought you liked Kaylee,� she
said, abandoning the book to stare at him.�
Simon sat down beside her and
sighed, stretching out his legs atop the small table.� �I did � I mean, I do�it�s complicated.� We�re
just very different people and may just be a little too different; I�m used to certain things and so is she.�� What do you think about all this?� he
teased, trying to shift the conversation onto a lighter topic.
River looked at him, brushing a
strand of hair out of her face.� �Bluster
and jokes come out, but the big one is very sad inside. Chances are there and
gone, faster than wind blowing through fingers that can�t close to catch it.�
�We�re talking about a man who
once tried to trade his gun for a wife,� he reminded his sister dryly � but she
had gone back to writing her �novel� and was ignoring him, so he sat back to
watch her silently and think about this�unique�situation.� In the beginning, he�d really had no time to
seriously think about romancing Kaylee since he was always so nervous about
getting caught by the Alliance � there�d been some flirting� more on her side,
really, but he had meant what he had told her after the events at Miranda.�
Their time together had been
wonderful and he would always remember it, but there was no way around the fact
that they were simply drifting apart because of their differences.� Some people overcame that sort of thing, that
was true; but he found himself more and more regarding Kaylee as a friend
rather than a lover.� Quite frankly, it
made him a bit uncomfortable these days to even think about making love with
her so he avoided her in the hope that the feeling would pass � it wasn�t as if
there were anyone else there ready to pass the time in such a manner with him;
a man like Jayne might visit whorehouses without a second thought, but there
were all manner of diseases and germs in those places.� He wouldn�t visit one even if there were a
gun to his head.
Perhaps he would just have to have
a talk with Kaylee and explain his feelings; she would be upset, but he was
sure she would understand as soon as she calmed down and thought about it.� Simon wasn�t at all thrilled at the prospect
of stepping aside for Jayne Cobb, of all people - and that was assuming that
Jayne actually qualified as a person
� but there was no denying that the foul mannered man would be a better match
for the lively mechanic�if he wasn�t spaced by the captain once Mal got wind of
it.�
�A happy ending,� River said
suddenly, looking up from the journal to smile at him.
Well, he supposed that settled
it.� Standing slowly and combing his hair
with his fingers nervously, he began to walk towards the engine room.� �Kaylee? Can I talk to you for a second�?�
