Title: Never Kiss ‘Em on the Mouth

Challenge: #25 Firefly/Serenity

Notes: Jayne goodness.
Faith felt her mouth water a little bit with every rep he did. A solid mass of muscle rippled, and sweat beaded on his scarred back. Up and down, his fingers laced on the underbelly of the catwalk. She tried to not make the staring obvious, but apparently she wasn’t doing so hot.
“A thousand tiny dancers kicking under the skin,” A ghostly voice whispered beside her. “Don’t let them be so lonely and lost, join the dance.”
Faith stared as River danced away, her big bulky combat boots leaving only the faintest whisper on the cargo room floor. Jayne dropped to the floor, grabbing Faith’s attention once more. He swiped at his chest with the towel, and Faith nearly groaned. His left hand fingered his shirt, and what Faith was sure was his gun Vera beneath it. She grinned. God bless a man who thought of shooting first and maybe asking questions later.
“Oh, it’s you,” Jayne grunted, wiping at the back of his neck.
“Yeah, it’s me,” Faith grinned up at him.
“Whaddya want?”
“You,” she said, yanking his face down.
“I never kiss ‘em on the mouth,” he said thickly.
“Don’t worry, neither do I,” she replied.

“Yeah, well, we took a vote, and you lost,” the brunette snapped.
“No ruttin’ way I lost,” Jayne growled at the girl.
“Oooh, I’m so scared of the big ape. Help me, help me.”
“Why you little -” Jayne lunged for her, but the girl slipped out of the way.
“If you two don’t stop it, I’m gonna riddle you both with holes,” Mal snapped as the girl raced away from Jayne, tipping over cargo that he preceded to trip over. “Will you - gah!”
A shocked gasp rang through the hanger, and even Jayne stared dumbstruck at the sight of the captain. The brunette raced over to his side, pulling the animals off of him. Mal only glared at her as he pushed himself up off the floor.
“What is this?”
“Well, there was talk of hauling cargo, and when we were in Persephone there was this horrible stall, Mal. They were gonna kill em and cook em, Mal,” Dawn Summers looked up at him pitifully.
“Don’t think those big ole tears are gonna get to me, Summers. This is not a gorram pound.”
“But they’re innocent Beagles, Mal,” Tears pooled in her eyes as she snuggled two puppies.

Spike watched River dance about, not really there, but there all the same. He wasn’t sure what it was that drew him to that weak looking little girl. She reminded him a bit of his Nibblet, but there was a knowledge there that reminded him of Red at times. There was a rage in her that seemed to match Faith’s, and oddly enough, a bit of kindness like Glinda. She could fight like the Slayer, that he’d found that out the hard way. She reminded him mostly of Drusilla, what with her crazy sayings. And the wisdom buried in them.

“Gets so a man can’t hear himself think on his own gorram boat,” Mal grumbled, stomping along the catwalk.
“You act as if you’re not excited to see her,” Inara said coolly.
“I ain’t,” he snapped.
“Mal, sweetie, you so need to get la-” The brunette smiled up at him.
“You watch that purty little mouth, missy.”
“Aw, Mal - afraid of your wife?”
“I ain’t got a wife, least not one who legal and bindin’ like.”
“Please, Book told me all about sweet little Saffron. You were played. But not by wife number two,” she caresses his face softly, the playfulness evident in her brown eyes.
“You ain’t my gorram wife.”
“But I is. I mean, I am your wife, no matter how much we both hate it. Least I’m willing to divorce your broke a-”
“I’m afraid you can’t,” Shepherd Book said, sidling up next to them.
“Excuse me?” Cordelia snapped, the fun quickly leaving the cargo bay.
“At least not right away,” he amended.
“Don’t go scaring me like that!” Cordelia cried.
“And I thought you wanted to be my wife,” Mal grinned.
“The man of my dreams has money. Besides I’m not the one you want.”

“That’s it, everyone who’s not flying this boat get out of here now!” Wash yelled, gesturing to the two newest passengers. “Sweetie, that means you too.”
“Excuse me?” Zoe gave him a look.
“Now!”
Xander and Dawn looked sheepishly at each other as Zoe glared at them. Inside, Wash was cradling the now headless stegosaurus in his hand. They didn’t know it had been Zoe’s first gift to him, that it had been a replacement of the one she’d accidentally broken.
“That’s why nobody disturbs the dinos. Makes my pilot a mite twitchy, and he‘s no good twitchy,” Mal snapped.
