Thanks to Djinn for her beta. Written for Darth Luna for the Winter 2006 Drabble Meme: Prompt: Firefly, Jayne/River, gun oil and soda pop
Jayne oiled Vera slowly, taking care on all her parts. The sound of a tab being pulled and the fizz of soda pop made his heart hammer even before he looked up. Wasn't Vera who was the most dangerous female on Serenity. He tried to grab on to the whaddayacallit, the safe word, but no matter how hard he tried, the word wouldn't come and he wondered if River was messing—
"No, I wouldn't. I've been broken down, oiled, put together and it all fits. Safety on."
But her smile told him she could still be perilous in other ways.
