"I still ain't sure bout this." Mal says to Zoe as she drives the mule out of Serenity.
"Bout what, sir?" Zoe questions.
"Bout letting them go into town while we do the drop." Mal replies. "I just got the feelin things are gonna happen."
"They'll be fine, sir." Zoe says as she parks the mule outside of Serenity and hops out. "Wash, Kaylee, and the doc will be with em."
"What's that got to do with anything?" Mal questions.
"Don't think they'd endanger them." Zoe replies. "Specially Kaylee."
"She's right." Faith says as her, Kaylee, and River walk down the ramp and out of Serenity.
"We might risk our own lives." River adds. "But we would never risk theirs."
"There'll be no riskin of any lives." Mal orders. "River, where's Jayne?"
"Getting dressed." River answers.
"Oh." Mal replies. "That's good."
"Alright, Wash you're in charge while we're gone." Mal tells the pilot when he walks out. "There's a bar called Nights on this side of town, that's where we'll meet ya guys. Exchange shouldn't take more than an hour."
"Sure ya should be leavin Wash in charge?" Jayne asks. He walks down the ramp, stuffing a pistol in the waistband of his pants.
"Hey." Wash yells.
"He does have some childish tendencies." River comments.
"Yeah." Faith agrees. "Can he handle the power?"
"I can handle the power." Wash replies. "I want the power."
"You do realize with power comes responsibility." Faith says.
"Oh." Wash mutters. "Maybe Simon should be in charge. He's used to all that responsibility stuff."
"What should I be doing?" Simon questions.
"Just make sure your sister and Faith stay out of trouble." Mal says.
"Do you really think he could stop us from doing something if we really wanted to do it?" Faith questions.
"No." Jayne answers.
"Gorramit." Mal growls.
"We'll behave, captain." River assures him. "We will walk to the bar and wait for you three to meet us."
"We will?" Faith questions with a smirk.
"Yes." River says, sending Faith a look. "We will."
"Okay, sure." Faith replies. "We'll behave."
"For some reason, I ain't sure if I believe ya." Mal says.
"Oh, cap'n, ya just gotta have faith." Kaylee says.
"We done talked bout that, little Kaylee." Mal replies.
"No, really, have Faith." River says, putting her foot on Faith's leather clad ass and pushing her into Mal. "She's all yours."
Faith stumbles into Mal and he brings his hands up to steady her.
"River." Simon gasps.
Faith turns around slowly a semi-evil smirk on her face. "Break off a switch, girl." Faith drawls. "There's bout to be a whuppin."
River's eyes widened and with a giggle, she takes off, Faith right on her heels. River runs across the open field they're parked on, circles around a huge boulder and heads back to Serenity.
"Damn." Wash comments. "They're fast."
"Yeah." Mal agrees.
"Shouldn't it be difficult to run that fast in leather pants?" Simon questions.
"One would think." Zoe replies. "Doesn't seem to be slowing them down though."
"Or stopping them." Wash adds as River runs straight at the mule, jumps over it to climb up Serenity, Faith repeating her actions.
"GORRAMIT!" Mal yells. "My boat ain't a jungle gym. Get down, now."
They can hear the stomping as the two slayers run over to boat. A few seconds later, River comes flying through the air from one side and Faith from the other. The two girls hit midair with a loud thud. They fall to the ground, rolling over the dirt until River is on the bottom, Faith straddling her legs.
"No." River squeals.
Jayne moves forward quickly, intending on pulling Faith off River when he hears River giggling.
"No, that's not fair." River screeches between giggles.
"Revenge is sweet." Faith smirks, her hands moving over River's ribs, tickling the smaller slayer relentlessly.
Jayne smirks at River's giggles and then glances over at Mal. "Amusin, ain't it?"
"Yeah." Mal replies.
In a move that the watching crew barely catches, River moves her legs over Faith's shoulders and forces the older slayer to the ground. River's hands automatically start digging into Faith's stomach. Faith laughs lightly for a few seconds before River's fingers find a good spot, making the older slayer laugh loudly.
River tickles Faith for a few moments before standing up, pulling Faith with her. They both look over at Kaylee, who is giggling at them.
"Think it's funny Kay?" Faith asks, slowly walking towards her.
Kaylee starts to back up, eyeing both slayers as they stalk towards her. With a squeal, she runs to hide behind Simon.
"You never answered Kaylee." River smirks. River reaches out and picks her brother up, setting him to the side while Faith grabs the fleeing Kaylee.
"Mei-mei!" Simon squeals when River picks him up.
"Sir, you going to stop them?" Zoe questions as River and Faith bring Kaylee to the ground, River holding her hands and Faith sitting on her legs.
"I don't know." Mal replies. "Sounds like they're havin fun."
Faith is ticking Kaylee's stomach while River attacks the mechanic's armpits. Kaylee squirms and giggles until tears are running down her face. They only stop the torture when Kaylee threatens to pee.
"You okay, Kay?" Faith asks as she helps the mechanic up. "We didn't hurt you, did we? Sometimes we don't know our own strength."
"I'm shiny." Kaylee answers, wiping tears off her face. "It's been years since I've been tickled like that."
"Brothers?" Faith questions.
"Four older." Kaylee answers. "I'm the baby."
"Jayne, Zoe, let's go." Mal orders. "Got a job to do."
Zoe gives Wash a kiss before heading toward the mule. Jayne starts to follow her when he's attacked. River launches herself at him, wrapping her legs around his ass and her arms around his neck. She slams her mouth onto his, giving him a deep and wet kiss.
Jayne staggers back a step with her weight, his hands coming up to grasps her leather clad legs. He deepens the kiss as his hands run up her legs to cup her ass. River moans and grinds her self against him. Jayne massages her ass as he starts to walk slowly back to Serenity. He gets one foot on the ramp when a gunshot rings out.
Jayne swings River behind him while pulling out the pistol from his waistband. He points the gun upwards as he tries to clear the lust induced fog from his eyes. "We bein attacked?" Jayne grunts out huskily.
"No." Mal growls.
"Why'd ya shoot then?" Jayne asks.
"Cause he's been yelling at you two to stop and you wouldn't." Faith grins. "Think he was getting a bit peeved."
"Get in the mule Jayne." Mal orders.
"Oh, come on, Mal." Jayne groans. "Just need 10 minutes."
"Now." Mal growls.
"We can finish later." River tells Jayne.
Jayne curses under his breath, kisses River, and then jumps into the back of the mule.
Wash waits until the mule is out of sight before closing up Serenity and turning to the remaining crew. "Shall we?"
"We shall." Kaylee answers as she takes Simon's hand.
River and Faith move on each side of Wash, both glancing around for threats before following the pilot towards town.
"So, pilot man, wanna help me and R take over the verse?" Faith questions Wash.
"Sure." Wash replies. "Do we got a plan?"
"We should strategically attack the planets with the most Alliance presence first." River answers. "Once we've eliminated them, we can move on to actual Alliance headquarters. Once the Alliance's power is shrunken, it should be fairly easy to gain control of the core planets. We will need more manpower though. One small transport ship isn't going to cut it."
The remaining crew stops to stare at her.
"Thought this out, have you?" Faith questions with a raised eyebrow.
"Not really." River answers. "It's the most logically plan. If we were to just randomly attack the Alliance it would only get us killed."
"We ain't really gonna try and take over the verse, are we?" Kaylee questions.
"Naw." Faith answers. "Too much work. I like the life of crime better."
"Me too." River agrees. "It's more fun."
"Now all we have to do is convince Mal to let us go on a job." Faith says as they start walking again.
"We'll have to work on that." River answers. "He let me; don't see why he won't let us."
Simon grinds his teeth but he doesn't say anything. His relationship with his sister is extremely shaky right now and he doesn't want to make it any worse.
"That job was supposed to be completely safe." Wash comments. "And it would have been if there hadn't been Reavers. I don't think he'll let you guys go on any of the more dangerous jobs. And I don't think Jayne will want you going on any jobs, River."
"Good thing he's my lover and not my father." River replies. "We can take care of ourselves."
"I know." Wash agrees. "But Mal's a bit protective bout what he considers his and you are his crew."
"Never been one for letting people protect me." Faith says. "Don't think I'm going to start now."
Wash sees the bar and cuts across the street. "Seems a bit different from Mal's normal stops." Wash comments when he opens the door.
They walk through the door and are immediately hit by loud, rock music. There's a bar to the side of the door surrounded by bar stools. Around the bar, there are tables and booths taking up half of the room. The other half is a dance floor with a few people using it. Wash spots a large booth and moves towards it. He orders a bottle of couple of drinks from a passing waitress before sitting down.
Faith stares longingly at the dance floor before following River to the booth. They sit down and Faith's gaze goes back to the dance floor.
"You want to dance." River comments.
"Yeah." Faith agrees. "Wanna?"
"Sure." River says, following Faith out of the booth. "Kaylee, want to join us?"
"Ain't danced much." Kaylee replies.
"Don't worry, we'll show you." Faith says as she pulls Kaylee out of the booth. "It's all about feeling to music flow through your body."
The three girls move towards the center of the dance floor and Faith starts rocking her hips to the music. River mimics her movements and then they surround Kaylee and teach the mechanic how to bump and grind. The rock songs changed to a dance hit and the girls move closer, their bodies touching as they dance, completely oblivious to the looks they're getting.
"Well." Wash comments as he takes a sip of his beer. "I'm thinking heads might roll when Jayne and Mal walk in here."
"I'm thinking you're right." Simon agrees as he watches them dance. He starts to stand up when a guy goes to grab Kaylee but stops when Faith moves behind her, cutting the man off.
"Yep, Jayne ain't going to like all those guys looking at his woman." Wash says.
"Should we stop them?" Simon questions.
"Never said they couldn't dance." Wash answers. "Just said to keep them out of trouble. We've done our job."
Simon raises an eyebrow but makes no move to stop them, deciding to let Mal and Jayne deal with the audience they're drawling. Should be interesting.
-
"That was borin." Jayne comments as they walk towards the bar. "Didn't even get to shoot no one."
"And I didn't get shot." Mal replies. "All in all, it's been a good day."
The drop off had gone remarkably well and they decided to drop the mule off before joining the rest of the crew at the bar.
"Zoe, ya okay?" Mal questions his first mate.
"Yes." Zoe answers. "Why?"
"You're just lookin a bit pale." Mal answers.
"I'm fine, sir." Zoe replies.
They make it to the bar within a few minutes and open the door to be blasted by loud music.
"What the ruttin hell is this place?" Jayne questions as he sees the crowded dance floor.
"Used to be a small bar." Mal answers. "Guess it's changed." He spots Wash and Simon sitting at a booth and walks towards them.
Jayne grabs the full shoot glass in front of Simon and downs it.
"I see nobody got shot." Wash comments, kissing Zoe's cheek when she sits down next to him. "Job went well?"
"Yeah." Jayne replies. "Where's the girls?"
Simon holds out his hand and points to the dance floor. "See the crowd of men?"
"Yeah." Jayne growls.
"They're behind it." Wash answers.
Jayne slams the shot glass onto the table and stalks across the floor with Mal right beside him. They push through the men and then come to a complete stop, their jaws dropping open.
Kaylee, River, and Faith are dancing wildly, their bodies touching from almost top to bottom. Faith is dancing behind Kaylee with her pelvis pressed against Kaylee's ass and her hands wrapped around her waist holding onto the front of River's pants. River is facing Kaylee, her hands above her head and one leg between Kaylee's. Kaylee in turn has on arm around River's waist and the other resting on her shoulder. All three of them are covered in sweat, their eyes closed as they grind to the music.
"Wuo duh ma!" Mal mutters.
Jayne nods his agreement, as his body grows hard. "Is it wrong that I find that really hot?"
"No." Mal answers. "Cause I do too. We're both gonna burn in Book's special hell."
"Yeah." Jayne agrees. He watches them for a second before finally realizing why all these men are standing around. He goes to grab River when she stops dancin. She pulls away from Kaylee and Faith to run across the room and wrap her body around his again. He catches her, his mouth finding hers with a growl as one hand cups her ass and the other fists into her hair.
Kaylee and Faith stop dancing when River leaves. They lock arms before following Mal towards the table. There are groans of protests when they leave but immediately stop when both Mal and Jayne pull out guns, Jayne still kissing River.
"Sit." Mal orders. Faith glares at him but lets Kaylee pull her into the booth. "Thought I said no trouble."
"We didn't start any trouble." Faith replies, still glaring at him.
"Ya damn near started a riot." Mal yells. "What the gorram hell were ya doin?"
"Dancing." Kaylee answers. "It was fun."
Jayne pulls away from River's mouth to glare down at her. "Ya should've stopped when ya got an audience." Jayne growls.
"Just boys." River answers, rocking herself against him with a moan. "Want you." She whispers something in Jayne's ear before biting his lobe and then sucking it into her mouth. Jayne groans and starts out of the club, his mouth finding hers again.
"Jayne, ya ain't havin a drink?" Mal yells at him.
Jayne doesn't stop; he just kicks the door open and walks out.
"Think he got a better offer." Faith says with a smirk.
"We're goin, cap'n." Kaylee says.
"We who?" Mal asks.
"Me and Simon." Kaylee answers as she waits for Faith to get up so she can move out. She grabs Simon's hand and pulls him out of the booth. "Gonna go walk round town a bit, ya know, be couple-y."
"Be careful." Mal orders. "And be back on the boat in a couple hours."
"Alright." Kaylee calls back as they leave the club.
"We're going too, sir." Zoe says as she stands up. "Spend some alone time."
"Fine." Mal replies. Zoe waits for Wash to stand up and then they leave the club.
"Looks like it's just the two of us." Mal says to Faith.
"Looks like." Faith agrees. "Wanna dance?"
"I don't dance much." Mal replies. "Sides, didn't we say somethin bout you provin this whole drinkin thing?"
"I guess we did." Faith agrees with a smirk. "You still buying?"
"Yep." Mal replies as he flags down a waitress to place an order. She returns a few minutes later with a bottle of whiskey and two large shot glasses. He fills both glasses and then slides one to Faith. Faith grabs the glass and downs the double shot. Slamming the glass onto the table she smiles up at him. Mal downs his own before refilling them. "Ya may be a slayer and all but I'm a bit older than ya and been drinkin longer."
"You trying to say you can handle more than me?" Faith asks as she downs her next shot.
"Yep." Mal replies, downing his own.
"Well, how bout we place a little wager on this?" Faith says.
"Money?" Mal questions.
"No." Faith replies. "Let's make it a bit more interesting than that."
"What do ya got in mind?" Mal asks.
They argue for a few moments over the terms of the bet and what the winner gets.
"Looks like we got a bet." Mal says once they finally come to an agreement. He fills both shot glasses again before raising his to hers.
"Let the game begin." Faith says as she taps her glass to his.
-
Jayne stumbles out of the club with River wrapped completely around him. The sun was setting and he starts towards Serenity knowing he ain't gonna make it before losin control.
"Turn." River moans as she rocks against his cock. "Alley."
Jayne sees the alley and turns down it. Walking a good ways down it, he finds a dark shadow that nobody passing by will be able to see and moves into it, slamming River's back against the building. River moans heavily as she digs her nails into his neck, her hips rocking faster and harder. Jayne pulls her shirt up to cup her bare breasts before bending down to bite a nipple. She whimpers loudly, her head slamming back against the wall behind her.
Jayne reaches between them to unsnap his belt and loosen his pants. Once his cock springs free, River's hands drop down to wrap around him. She pumps him fast and hard until he's grunting and groaning. He pulls her hand away when he feels his balls tightening.
"No." River growls, trying to grab him again.
"Wanna be inside ya." Jayne growls back. He moves his hands back between them unsnapping and zipping her tight leather pants. She unlocks her legs from around him long enough to kick her boots off and for him to remove her pants. He rips her panties off before slamming deep inside of her, pushing her back against the wall. River wraps her legs around Jayne's waist again as he pounds into her. His hands grip her hips, moving her willing body up and down his cock as he pumps wildly. His mouth finds hers, swallowing her moans and gasps.
River can feel the wall rubbing against her back and ass as Jayne moves in her receptive body. The slight pain combined with Jayne's forceful thrusts quickly sends River over the edge. She screams into his mouth before biting down on bottom lip, drawling blood. She sucks the wound into her mouth, enjoying the slightly copper taste.
Jayne cums when River bites his lip, the small burst of pain pushing him over the edge. He groans her name as he cums, moving his hands against the wall behind her to brace himself. River's legs loosen slightly and her arms hang limply around his neck. She leans her head against his shoulder and closes her eyes, feeling completely relaxed and safe despite being in an open alley.
Jayne rests for a few minutes before nudging River's head with his. "Come on, baby, we gotta head back."
River nods her head before slowly lowering herself to her bare feet.
Jayne quickly tucks himself back in before closing his pants. He bends down to pick up River's pants and shakes them off before handing them to her. "I'll find your panties."
River slips her legs into the pants and pulls them up, not buttoning or zipping them. She pulls her shirt back down and bends down to pick up her boots. Tying the shoelaces together she throws them over her shoulder and then looks up at the watching Jayne.
"Ya ain't gonna close your pants?" Jayne asks as she stuffs her ripped panties into his pocket. "Or put your boots on?"
"No." River replies. "Too tight."
"Yeah, they are tight." Jayne agrees. "But ya was wearin them that way before."
"Ass wasn't rubbed raw then." River replies.
"What?" Jayne growls. "Did I hurt ya? Ya're supposed to stop me if'n I was hurtin ya."
"It added to the pleasure." River replies. "Just like your pain did."
"Baby, ya ain't walkin back to the boat like that." Jayne says. "Them pants are too low cut for ya to be wearin them open."
"I know." River agrees. "You'll have to carry me. Nobody will see then."
"C'mere." Jayne orders.
River walks over and Jayne picks her. She wraps her legs around his hips and leans her head against his shoulder closing her eyes as Jayne carries her out of the alley.
Jayne walks towards Serenity, glaring at anyone who looks at them. He can feel the even puffs of River's breath hitting his neck and hear the purrin noise she makes while sleepin. Kissing the top of her head, he adjusts her against his chest before moving a bit faster towards home.
-
"Where ya goin?" Jayne growls, pulling River's naked body back against his, stopping her from moving out of his bed.
"Getting dressed." River replies sleepily.
"Why?" Jayne grunts, throwing one heavy leg over her body to hold her there.
"Mal and Faith aren't back yet." River answers. "We need to go get them."
"We do?" Jayne mutters.
"Yes."
"Why"
"They are crew and family." River answers.
Jayne just grunts.
"You can't fool me, Jayne Cobb." River says, pushing his leg off her to flip him onto his back. She crawls on top of him to stare into his eyes. "Mal is your friend and you like Faith. You think she's funny."
"Yeah, she is funny." Jayne agrees. "Specially how Mal tries to act like he don't want her."
River bends down to kiss him lightly before climbing off his body. Jayne sits up slowly and flicks on his light just in time to see River bending over.
"Lao tyen yeh." Jayne mutters. "Baby, ya sure ya shouldn't let your brother look at your ass."
"Why?" River questions.
"Cause it's rubbed raw." Jayne growls, feeling guilty.
"It'll be fine tomorrow." River replies. "If it will make you feel better, when we return, you can rub burn cream on it." She pulls the on the shirt she pick up and turns to look at Jayne. "Are you coming with me?"
"Ya ain't goin by yourself." Jayne growls as he reaches to grab his pants. He slips them on before putting his boots back on. He pulls a shirt over his head before looking at her. "And ya ain't goin out in nothin but my shirt."
"I know." River agrees. "I will get a pair of pair of sweatpants out of my room while you get Zoe."
"Do I need to load up?" Jayne asks.
"No." River replies.
"Oh." Jayne says vaguely disappointed. He follows her out of his bunk but stops her when she heads towards her room. "Ya might as well bring some of your clothes to my room."
"Okay." River agrees with wide eyes. "I'll grab some when we get back."
"A'right." Jayne says. He moves over to Zoe and Wash's bunk while River walks to her and Faith's room. Bringing his hand up, he bangs hard on the hatch.
"What?" Zoe growls as she opens the hatch.
"Mal and Faith ain't back yet." Jayne replies. "Me and River are goin to get em, ya comin?"
"Be up in a minute." Zoe replies.
Jayne leans against the wall next to her bunk and then spins around when he hears Kaylee's open.
"What's goin on?" Kaylee says as she moves out of her bunk.
"Mal and Faith ain't back." Jayne says. "We're goin to get em."
"Wait for us." Kaylee says as she moves back into her bunk.
Zoe and Wash move out of their bunk at the same time that River comes down the hall, wearing his shirt and a pair of loose sweatpants. A few seconds later, Kaylee and Simon come up.
"Should I be prepping the infirmary?" Simon questions.
"No." River replies. "And you don't need the weapon, Zoe. They aren't in danger, just need help getting home."
"Why?" Zoe questions.
"They're intoxicated." River answers. "Very intoxicated. They won't make it back home without help."
"Oh." Zoe replies as they start down the hall and towards town. "That drunk?"
"Yes." River replies. "That drunk."
-
"Wazza mean ya is cuttin we off?" Mal slurs angrily at the bartender.
"You've polished off 3 bottles of whiskey between the two of you." He replies. "You're done."
"Tyen sah fay fay go-se nien ching duh yang pee yen." Mal yells over his shoulder as he stumbles back towards Faith. "No more."
"Huh?" Faith mumbles.
"He say we can't have no more." Mal says.
Faith stands up slowly and stumbles out of the booth. "We's could beat him."
"Hmmm." Mal mutters. "Naw, we'z gotta head back. Got crime to do."
Mal wraps an arm around her shoulder as she wraps one around his waist. They then stumble out of the bar, running into the door's frame a few times before realizing they can't fit out together. "Ladies first." Mal says, his arm gesturing wildly.
Faith moves first and then waits for him. "Whazza call him?"
"I don't know." Mal replies. They start towards Serenity, having to stop every few steps to clear their heads. "We'z could sleep here."
"In the road?" Faith questions, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Yep." Mal replies. "It looks safe."
"Yeah." Faith agrees. They continue to stumble towards Serenity.
"Well, well." Wash scolds. "Don't you two look drunk?"
"Cause we is." Mal replies, squinting his eyes. "That ya Simon?"
"No." Wash replies.
"Jayne?" Faith questions.
"No." Wash replies. "Wash."
"Watch what?" Mal replies.
"Told you." River says. "Come on, it's time to go home."
"I'z the cap'n." Mal starts, waving both arms wildly, hitting Wash across the face. He wobbles and opens his mouth to say more but instead falls forward. Only River's quick reflexes keep him from hitting the ground. She catches him by the back of his shirt and pulls him back up. Mal's head bobs to the side, a drunken snore coming out. River starts to put a hand under his knees when Jayne stops her.
"What the gorram hell are ya doin?" Jayne growls.
"Carrying him home." River replies.
"Ya ain't carryin him." Jayne says.
"We can't leave him here." River says.
"Wash, grab his other arm." Jayne orders as he pulls Mal away from River. "Baby, ya help Faith."
River turns towards her sister slayer only to see her sitting on the ground. "Faith, come on." River says as she pulls her to her feet. She wraps her arm around Faith's waist and helps the older girls stumble back towards Serenity.
"He better not throw up on me." Wash says, pushing Mal's head off his shoulder to drop onto Jayne's.
"Yeah." Jayne agrees as they carry the dead-weight captain back to Serenity.
Zoe and Kaylee glance at Mal and then each other before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Simon questions.
"Ain't seen Mal this drunk in a long time." Zoe replies. "He wasn't this drunk when he got hitched to Saffron. Mal ain't passed out since right after the war ended."
They make it back to Serenity without Mal or Faith throwing up. Jayne and Wash start towards Mal's bunk when River stops them. "He can sleep in my bed." River says.
"Where are you going to sleep, mei-mei?" Simon questions.
"Where I've slept for the last week." River answers. "With Jayne."
"Yeah, she's right." Zoe agrees. "Don't need Mal killin himself tryin to get out of his bunk."
"I gotsa pee." Faith tells River once they're in their room.
"Okay." River replies. She grabs Faith's stolen boxers on their way to the bathroom. They come out a few minutes later, Faith wearing the boxers and River holding her leather pants. River helps Faith into her bed and covers up the drunken slayer. She presses a kiss to Faith's head before moving over to her bed. She looks briefly at the snoring captain and notices his boots and belt on the floor. Bending over, she pulls out the boxes storing her clothes and starts separating them.
"Mei-mei, what are you doing?" Simon questions as River sorts through her clothes.
"Packing." River answers.
"Why?" Simon asks.
"Taking clothes to Jayne's bunk." River answers.
"What?" Simon replies. "Why?"
"Kinda stupid for her to sleep there every night but still have to come back here to get dressed." Jayne answers.
"Oh." Simon mutters.
Kaylee watches as River packs up some of her clothes and personal things. She hands Jayne the box before grabbing her toothbrush out of the bathroom. She can't help feelin jealous. Simon's been sleepin in her bunk since after the whole Miranda thing and he still goes to his room to get dressed and shower in the morning.
River says goodnight to the departing crew before following Jayne back to his bunk. She still rather shocked that he told her to move her stuff into his bunk; she didn't think he was ready for that kind of commitment.
"Ya okay with movin into my bunk?" Jayne questions River, knocking her out of her thoughts.
"Yes." River replies. "Are you okay with it?"
"Wouldn't of told ya to if'n I wasn't." Jayne replies. "Like wakin up and seein ya."
"Me too." River says. River kicks open the hatch to his bunk and climbs down into her new room.
-
"I think she's going to have to marry him." Wash comments. "Save his reputation and all."
"How'd they end up in the same bed?" Jayne questions. "They weren't when we left."
The entire crew is gathered in doorway of Faith's room, looking at the slayer and captain sleeping in the same bed, Faith's head on Mal's shoulder and her legs thrown over his.
"Who's waking them up?" Simon questions.
"Faith isn't somebody to wake up." River answers. "She punched me the first time I did it."
"What?" Jayne growls.
"I made the mistake of touching her shoulder." River replies. "She didn't do it on purpose; it was her natural reaction."
"Ya don't hit me when I wake ya up." Jayne points out.
"My body knows you're not a threat to me." River replies. "Faith wasn't comfortable with me then. She most likely wouldn't do it now."
"She's going to be hung over." Simon interrupts. "She's bound to react differently."
"True." River agrees. "You guys want to see something funny?"
"Yeah." Kaylee and Wash reply.
River cups her hands over her mouth and yells, "DEMON."
Faith's reaction is instant. She jumps off the bed, causing Mal to fly up with her. She's on her feet, her body in a fighting stance on the bed as she glances around for the threat. Mal's head bangs against the wall, waking him up.
"You're evil." Faith growls at River before flopping back down.
"Waz goin on?" Mal questions as he glances around. "Why am I in Faith's bed?"
"We don't know, sir." Zoe answers. "We put you in River's bed originally. You must of moved into Faith's on your own."
"Ya put me in bed with River?" Mal questions.
"No." Jayne growls. "Just in her bed; she was in mine."
"Oh." Mal replies. "What happened?"
"You got drunk." River answers.
"Huh." Mal mutters as he tries to clear his head. "How drunk?"
"Wait a second." Faith cuts in. "Who passed out first?"
"Mal." Jayne answers with a smirk. "He didn't even make it back to the boat. Me and Wash had to drag him."
"You didn't pass out until you were in bed." River answers. "You won."
"I did, didn't I?" Faith agrees.
"Won what?" Wash questions.
"The bet." Mal groans.
"And I'm about to collect the first part." Faith says. She grabs the front of Mal's shirt and pulls him towards her. Pressing her mouth to his, she gives him the wettest, deepest kiss of his life, not pulling away until they're both panting. She releases his shirt and jumps off the bed with a grin. Grabbing some clothes, she turns to face Mal. "And I'll be collecting the rest of it when we get to Persephone."
Mal waits until the bathroom door is shut before collapsing back onto the bed with a groan.
"Sir, you okay?" Zoe questions.
"No." Mal replies. "I just remembered what the rest of her winnings are."
"And?" Wash questions.
"Jayne's gonna kill me." Mal mutters.
