Title: Samson
Prompt: Long hair from rayne_shippers’ August Challenge
Disclaimer: Joss is boss
Pairing: Established Rayne relationship
Word Count: 232
A/N: I couldn’t really get into AU so I decided to just reference the myth of Samson and based it on the song by Regina Spektor which for some reason always reminds me of River. A lot of her dialogue is taken from this song

“You don’t have long hair.” River frowned as she ran her hands through his coarse curling hair.
Jayne ducked his head to evade her fingers. “It’s longer than normal. I’ll get it cut soon enough.”
“NO!” cried River. “All your strength will be lost and we will not be able to bring the columns down.” She sat beside him and buried her face into his bicep.
“My muscles ain’t gonna shrink none just ‘cause I git my hair cut, crazy girl.” Jayne smiled down fondly at her head. “’Sides, you got enough hair for the both of us.”
River looked up. “I will not cut your hair. Dull scissors in the yellow light. Eat a slice of wonder bread and go back to bed.” A single tear trickled down her cheek. “Am I beautiful?”
Jayne’s eyes softened and he slipped a hand behind her head, fingers on her neck, palm cupping her jaw line. “You are the most beautiful thing I ever saw,” he said forcefully as his thumb brushed against her lips.
“Samson-”
“Is just a myth from the bible. Just a story.” Jayne leaned forwards and gently kissed her. “But I’ll wait a bit fer the hair cut. It ain’t past my ears yet.” He kissed her again and then walked out of the room.
“You are my sweetest downfall,” River whispered quietly after him. “I loved you first.”
