Worth It

Jayne couldn't help it. Try as he might, he couldn't stop thinkin' on that gorram feng le girl. Jayne knew it weren't right. He knew he'd be goin' to that special hell Mal was always on about. The girl wasn't even all there for Buddha's sake.

"Maybe she doesn't need to be," River said from behind Jayne causing him to jump.

"Da shiong bao-jah-shr du la-doo-tze!" Jayne shouted. "What you doin' girl, askin' to get shot?"

"Jayne would not shoot the girl," She replied with an absolute certainty that sent a chill down Jayne's spine.

"That so?"

River nodded. "Girl would stop Jayne before he reached for the trigger."

Jayne snorted. She had him there. After seein' what she did to all those Reavers, Jayne had no doubt that she could take him.

"Besides, the bee doesn't sting the flower it lands on. They work together in a mutually beneficial relationship," River said snapping Jayne from his thoughts.

"Shi ma?" Jayne responded, quirking his brow. Even though she was more lucid since Miranda, he still couldn't understand what the girl said half the time.

River nodded again, this time advancing towards him. Jayne started backing up, but River followed till he hit the wall. "Your confusion is unwarranted. This is logical. Two by two."

As she leaned in Jayne grabbed her shoulders. "Yesu Girl! What you tryin' to do, get me thrown out the airlock?"

River tilted her head in a manner that had Jayne groaning. "It is logical. Two by two. We will bend together like the colors of the sunset. We will blend so no one can tell where you end and I begin. It is logical," and with that last though River leaned in the rest of the way and kissed Jayne until he kissed her back.

"Wo cao," Jayne moaned when they broke apart. Looking in to her eyes he saw something he couldn't describe, and at that exact moment he didn't give a go se. Grabbing her hair, he brought her lips back to his. Oh yah, he was goin' to that special hell….but maybe it was worth it.
