She loved the stars, so naturally she loved lookin' up at them planetside. Loved to be surrounded by em' in the black even more.
"What you up to gurl?" a gruff voice asked, an orange sittin' on his blade as he walked closer to her, takin' a few bites. "look like a fool jus' starin up like that."
"It's called stargazin' Jayne." She stated back, slightly annoyed. He always was so unsenstitive.
"Sounds like a waste of time seein' as you up around them all the time, why you ganna go and look at them some more."
"Cuz their shiney." She replied, a bit more agitated with the merc.
"Lots o' things are shineier then them stars youz' lookin' at." Jayne raised a eyebrow slightly. He was lookin' directly at her. She was lookin' directly up.
"Like what." She challenged, not once taking the time to look at him.
"Oh jus' lots o' things," Jayne took another bite from his orange "like this knife for instance." He finished with his mouth full.
"It's only shineyer cuz it's closer to me then that star." Kaylee pointed up with her dirt coverd hand, brushing a strand of hair from her face with the other. The wind was startin' to pick up. Jayne just grunted and rolled his eyes. "Well it's true."
"Might be so, still don't explain' why you so fasinated in gorram stars." Kaylee was quiet and took a seat on the hard ground, when Jayne sat next to her she laid flat on her back. Smiling slightly Jayne followed and laid down next to her.
"See that one?" Kaylee asked, pointing to one in the constellation Scropio.
"Yeah, what about it?" Jayne asked, trying to sound uninterested.
"That ain't no ordinary star, that's my home." She stated quietly, a smile in her face. "Mom always said I'd go and do big things with my life, bigger then the stars." Jayne was lookin' between the star she pointed to and her.
"Intrestin', I don't know which star is mine."
"You could always find out ya know." Kaylee offered a bright smile crossin' her face.
"Naw, don't figure I'd care to much for lookin' at my home from far away, to many bad memories as it is."
"Wanna talk about it?" Jayne stayed quite and Kaylee figured that was a 'no'.
Then she saw a shooting star pass in the night sky. She loved planets that didn't have a bunch of frilly go se lights. She smiled and looked over at Jayne lyin' next to her.
"You see that?" she asked with a giggle in her voice.
"Yeah," Jayne replied suddenly suspicious of the mechanic.
"Good!" She jumped to her feet, and out of instinct, thinking something was wrong, Jayne jumped to his. "Now you gatta kiss me!" Jayne jerked back, a puzzled look over his face as he processed what he just heard that little mechanic say.
"No gorram way gurl."
"But you have ta'" she whined with a playful smile "you saw that star, I saw the star, we saw it fall, it's tradition to kiss me."
"What do you do when no ones round' when you see one?"
Kaylee shrugged and replied "I blow the star a kiss, but since your hear you have ta' kiss me"
"No, Gurl you've done lost your mind, I ain't kissin' ya" Jayne started to walk away, and then he heard the sniffle. Oh he hated when women started to cry. He hated it even worse when it was him who'd done it. Sighin' he walked back over to her.
"Cap'n ain't ganna hear a word of this Dongma." Jayne looked her dead in the eye with his most serious face. Kaylee just nodded with a large smile on her face. Jayne looked around cautiously then leaned his lips down and placed a quick kiss on Kaylee's small lips.
He'd violated his own rule and kissed a gurl on the lips.
And he liked it.
"JAYNE!"
"Gorramit" Jayne muttered, Kaylee laughed. "You better get me outa this gurl" Jayne growled.
"JAYNE! You got some splainin' to do! Right Now!" Mal yelled.
"Tell him it was the stars," Kaylee suggested with a little laugh.
"like he'd believe that!" Jayne growled.
"I think he will." Kaylee winked, and started her way back twards the ship, a small skip in her step and a giant smile on her face.
