52_flavours For theme number fourteen: "As long as you're mine" Comes after theme thirteen, which is titled ‘Pretending Not To’. Takes place after the series and film. But, there are some changes in the timeline. Some light film spoilers about Simon and Kaylee.
He was silently lifting weights in the cargo bay when she came wandering in. This was nothing new and he was sure she’d go wandering off somewhere after a moment or two. It was her way: wandering in and out of rooms on the ship. Only…she didn’t wander off. No, she just sort of stood by him.
“Kaylee belongs to Simon, now.” Her voice sounded somewhat sad and regretful. “Should have tried harder to…should have tried harder. I’ll be all alone now. Two by two. Simon’ll take Kaylee to wife. Inara and Cap’n will never part. Zoe and Wash are together forever. Book isn‘t a suitable match.” She eyed him carefully. “Jayne?”
Jayne put the weights up with a small grunt. “W’at?”
River bit her lower lip, apparently mulling something over. “Will you…will you, if neither of us find suitable husbands or wives, will you be mine? May I belong to you one day?”
He gave her a serious look, but there was laugher in his voice. “I don’t t’ink so. Wouldn’t be a good idea, River.”
She frowned thoughtfully. “But, everyone should have a fall back. A last resort.”
Jayne had to try not to look insulted, even though he was. He was a last resort? “You sure do know how t’charm a fellow, don’t ya?” He sighed heavily and sat himself up. “Look, I’m sure you’ll find somebody.”
“But, if I don’t?” River pressed. “I can be yours?”
“Yeah, sure.” Jayne rolled his eyes upward.
River gave him a small and shy smile. “Then, it is settled. Thank you, Jayne.” With that, she just went and wondered off up the stairs and toward the bridge.
Jayne had to shake his head and chuckle at the thought of River wanting him as a last resort. ‘Course it wasn’t like River was meeting a lot of people and her brother wasn’t about to let her start courting boys, even it if were for just a day or two. Oh…
“I’ll be a son of a whore. I ain’t the last resort…I’m the first and only resort.” Somehow that made Jayne chuckle even harder.
