caia_comica, "Mal, Jayne, first blood"
Punch, and contra-punch, and a kick and another punch. More alpha posturing than real anger, really, and they pretend it's just a game because with employer and employee, the punching could be taken to a whole different level. Jayne grins and charges. Mal avoids, and punches.
Something wet on his chin; Jayne licks his lips. Taste of blood. Barely even stings.
"That's it," Mal says.
"What? We just getting' started!" Jayne protests.
"That is it," Mal says and it's like he puts his foot down, only with his mouth. "No more. Blood's been shed."
"Just a game," Jayne mutters sullenly.
"S'not a game when blood's been shed, Jayne!" Mal shouts and Jayne's surprised. Takes a step back.
"Alright, gorramit, no need to be shoutin'," he says and frowns.
Mal relaxes visibly. "It's okay, Jayne. Okay?"
"Okay," Jayne says and isn't sure what's okay, but he's glad that it's okay. He smiles at Mal uncertainly and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. Mal looks at him for a moment, then gets closer and pats him on the arm. Then walks away.
"What was that all about?" Jayne asks Zoe. She just smiles and walks away too. Jayne's confused, but somehow, it's better now that the first blood's been drawn. No waitin' for it to happen. He's glad to be a part of Serenity.
