Without Words
AN: This will be a series of short fics, 5 total, showing River and Jayne's relationship silently progressing.
PROLOGUE
River and Jayne hardly ever spoke to each other. Jayne was a man of few words, River had too many that never came out right.
They knew now that words were overrated. They were unnecessary between them and they were not what their relationship was based on. And even though there was sex, with Jayne there would have to be, their relationship wasn't based on that either.
It was based on understanding, not only what the other was saying or rather not saying, but what the other was. There was no denying that they were weapons: deadly, cold and even merciless when they had to be.
They understood that there was more, too. A deep need to be loved and accepted by someone, for one cannot live on fear and intimidation alone.
So, it was no surprise that their friendship began, but it was a little more surprising how silently it started.
