A bit of this, a bit of that and all FireFly

I've been busy... Heh. I just watched Shindig (ep 04). Cracked me up. Especially the naked part...


Jayne: We need a diversion. I say Zoe gets naked.
Wash: Nope
Jayne: I could get naked
Wash: No! (vehemently)
And there I went: "Would you?!!" Curses, foiled again... ::grins::














Title: Forewarned is forearmed...
Pairing: Mal/Jayne, with a smattering of Mal/Jayne/Simon UST
Summary: When you don't want to want what you want...
Rating: PG/PG13
Notes: I've only gone through four eps so far, so bear with the characterization. I just had to write this one down when it hit me LOL

---

Simon isn't sure he likes the way Jayne watches their captain. Especially after one of their close brushes with death or maiming, which occurs too often for Simon's liking.

There's a certain hunger in their looks.

Where Simon's from, it's... well, not illegal, but it's frowned upon. Simon shifts uneasily in his seat and tries not to think about it, as he eats his dinner. He knows, deep inside, that it's not the fact that two men... relieve some tension together that is upsetting him. No, but Simon won't let himself think about tracing the scars he's seen on Mal's body, wondering if they taste differently from the rest of his skin...

Simon looks up and catches Jayne watching him. It sends another shiver through his body, part fear, part... something he doesn't want to think about.

He knows the captain by now, well, he thinks he's figured him out. Although Mal still manages to surprise him again and again. In reality, Simon realizes, he knows nothing about the man behind the captain's mask.

Jayne? What Simon learned is that the mercenary is unpredictable at best, insane at worst. Simon doesn't like how the looks Jayne is giving him, have turned from contempt and annoyance to... something else. Appreciative, in a way that makes him run hot and cold. The smirk doesn't help either.

Mal draws him, as does Jayne. Mal's strong with a strange sense of honor. Jayne's... wild and unpredictable.

Simon tears his eyes away, finding he has Mal's attention as well. A smile so short, Simon's not even sure it's there, a small quirk of the lips.

No one else at the table seems to notice and Simon forces his attention back to his meal. He will not see, will not react, to either of them. He is aboard Serenity to protect his sister and while they are aboard, he is their medic. Nothing more, nothing less.

Still, he's not stupid enough to not know that it might not all be up to him. Some day he might eventually give off the 'wrong' signal and all bets will be off.

He isn't even sure if he'd have the courage and faith to bet on himself. He'd most probably lose...

Simon puts his fork down, but for a little while he refuses to look up. He's not sure he's strong enough to another of those looks.

Mal's flicker of a smile or Jayne's knowing eyes. Doesn't matter, either of them will be his undoing, eventually.

---

"You know, we could always tell the kid it's an initiating thing..." Jayne offers as he lies back on the bed, stretching like a big, contended tomcat.

Mal shoots him an amused look. "The Doc ain't that dumb. Although he has been falling for all your pranks so far... But I guess he'll eventually learn... Still, if you drop that one on him, he might ask Wash about it."

Jayne yawns and folds his hands behind his head. "You think we should do the same to Wash?"

Mal snorts and kicks Jayne off one half of the bed before dropping onto it. "You wanna suggest that with Zoe around?" he asks with a grin. It might be fun to see the outcome, and Jayne never has shown much sense for situations where he would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.

Jayne closes his eyes and grins. "You got a point there. Guess it's back to the drawing board, then."

Mal shakes his head and rolls on top Jayne. He's fairly sure that the kid is... amenable -- to him, at least. But Simon needs to learn not to trust everything Jayne throws at him, and sometimes it's better to learn by practice, rather than theory.

The End

I love the first part from Simon's POV. You capture him very well.

If I might suggest something on the dialogue, though, you should forget proper grammar. I know it's hard, but between Mal and Jayne, I doubt we've heard a correct sentence in any episode or the movie. LOL

Mal would probably say something like: "The Doc ain't that dumb" as opposed to "I doubt he'd buy into that."

::laughs::
i've been writing too much Due South lately
::sniggers::
It's Ben's perfect grammar, it'll be my death some day LOL
Thanks for pointing it out and thank you for the kind words ^_^ - I might be used to writing fanfic, but getting into a new fandom scares me silly.

I go from writing Harry Potter with their Queen's English to Jayne's speech, and like he would say "it ain't no gorram easy job." LOL (Oh, and you might want to check out the Chinese Firefly dictionary. I don't have my laptop at the moment, but if you're interested I could send you the link once the laptop is fixed.)

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it once you remember to disregard every grammatical rule you ever learned. ;)

Oooh, feel free to share the link. I mean, I got started on watching Firefly the other night, but the muses are having a ball LOL -- can't hurt to have some resources.

I'm going to have a darned hard time putting grammar behind me BECAUSE I'm not native to the language. Hehehe, I think my old English teacher would be proud of me. Then again, maybe not LOL

Italian is my first language, Latin and ancient Greek came next, so I understand the need for structure. English came later.

I think as an easy rule, drop all the endin' G's: wantin', ruttin', humpin', and they do love their double negative (it ain't no problem). LOL

Heh, well, I know as I watch the episodes, my grammar WILL deteriorate LOL

Guh! Of course, I want more Jayne/Mal! :D

And jealousy. Hot jealousy.

::laughs::
I don't think jealousy is in the cards at the moment. Would you take hot, 3-some sex instead?

Love the icons :-)
Can I acquire a few?

Like the fic too.

I really should dig out the DVDs and watch Firefly again.

Heh, acquire away. My need for new icons got away from me LOL.

And yes, dig out the DVDs. I haven't had this much fun in ages *g*
