L is for...Leer
Post Serenity
Pairing: Jayne/River
Rating: T
He'd just been cleanin' his knives like any self respectin' man when she'd come in. When River walked in, swaying slightly like she did. Without sayin' a word, she just sat down across the room from him.
And watched him.
Sayin' nothin'.
He gave her one of his best 'scary looks' that woulda had most people runnin' away, yet she didn't do a gorram thing.
Just kept staring, and it was makin' him uncomfortable, the way she looked at him. He couldn't quite name the look, but it didn't feel exactly ... proper.
Mal walked into the room, ignoring them as he headed towards the kitchen. Jayne took a moment to glance away from the girl, but he was ready to look back if she grabbed a knife or somethin'.
"Mal." he hissed. Mal just gave him a strange look. Jayne reached out to grab Mal's arm and pulled him over.
"What?" Mal demanded, annoyed.
"She's lookin' at me," He whispered, making a meaningful nod towards River, "It's creepy. I can't thin' of the word…"
"Leer." River broke in with her soft voice, "You want the 'leer'" she continued to 'leer' at him.
Mal patted him on the head, "Mind reader, Jayne, mind reader."
Jayne stood up, grabbing his five knives and hustling out of the room.
He needed to go find himself a dictionary.
Hmm, not one of my favorites. I've been meaning to write a River/Jayne one for quite some time, but I'm not so good with portraying things from Jayne's perspective. I might come back and edit this one later -- right now I'm being viciously harassed to go shopping. :(
Review and make me happy, again?
