Pairing: River/Jayne, Pre-Rayne
Summary: Jayne's shooting hoops and River watches.
A/N: this is my very first attempt at a Firefly fic. It's just a drabble really. For the Fall Challenge.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
River felt the rhythm of the ball as it bounced from Jayne's hand to the floor of Serenity and then back up to his other hand in a lazy dribble.
The tattoo of ball meeting floor meeting hand taking hold of her hips, urging them to sway as she carved out a beat from Jayne's staccato rhythm.

The ball kept time as she danced on the catwalk above the mercenaries head to music only she could hear. He didn't even know she was there.
