30_kisses. I am going to finish this claim. Pinky swear.
She doesn't notice for a long while- Jayne is Jayne, and if he's gruff and unfriendly, that's just him. They aren't as buddy-buddy as they used to be, for certain, but she's a little preoccupied, honestly. Who wouldn't be? They’ve got work, for once, and she's got Simon, who's sweet and lovely and hot and falling all over himself to keep her.
It isn't until he, in a fit of unusual demonstrativeness, kisses her at the dinner table one night that she understands. Inara smiles, Zoe laughs, Mal makes a joke out of it- but Jayne doesn't do anything at all. She tries to catch his eye, to see if he's okay; but she ends up sorry that she did, because his eyes are stuck somewhere between anger and pain.
She lets it turn over in her mind for a week or more, until she's walking by him one day in the hallway. She touches his arm in what's supposed to be a kind gesture, a quiet greeting between friends.
Either he doesn't see it that way or he doesn't approve, because Jayne shoves her up against the wall, and, before she can react, he's kissing- biting- attached to her neck, his hands on either side of her, caging her in. She hears a dull thud behind her as her head connects with the wall, but cause and effect are broken, and all that matters is whispering his name and closing her eyes against the light.
And then he just leans back and walks away, with one final, predatory look back over his shoulder.
And Kaylee doesn't know what to do.
