Mal had locked him in his bunk. They needed muscle on the job, but Jayne was too drunk to do anything but sit on his ass and stare at the walls. Kaylee had led him back to the ship, reeking of booze herself and almost an hour late. Mal's head had begun to hurt at that point, trying to think around these...set-backs. Kaylee had apologized over and over for being so late, saying it would look less suspicious now that they all hadn't disappeared from town in one big group. This had ebbed away at the pain slightly, but he was furious with Jayne for getting so all out, falling down, broken drunk.

The job would just have to go on without him.

****

When he woke up the air tasted horrible and hot, like somebody'd pissed in his mouth a few hours ago. His head felt like there was an exploded stick of dynamite in it and he barely made it to the sink before tossin up everything he'd eaten the night before. Some of it splashed out onto the floor and onto his boot. He couldn't quite conjure why he had been sleeping in his boots, but he was grateful not to have a big chunk of half digested whatever soaked in beer sitting on his sock or even better, his foot. He splashed water on his face and drank some as well, trying to get the hot feeling out of his mouth or slacken the pounding in his head.

He managed to get up the ladder to his door and opened it. The thud wracked his already scambled brain. He groaned.

There was a tray sitting next to the hatch. There was a pot of tea and a cup. But the best part was a bag full of sugar, as much sugar as he wanted. All of a sudden, his hangover didn't seem so bad.

****

Kaylee sat in the kitchen, Mal shoutin and yellin, just like she knew he would. He railed on about her listening to him, drinking, hanging out with the wrong folk and probably some other stuff too.

Her head hurt a little and she wished she'd stayed with the tea she'd left Jayne, to give him a little extra treat to go with the sugar she'd stolen out of Wash's food locker. She had thrown in most of her own and Book had contributed, though he wanted her to tell Jayne that it didn't mean that he endorsed his drinking to begin with. Kaylee knew that no matter how dark his past was, when it came to Jayne, Book was a big old softie.

Mal was just getting to the part of nice boys versus not so nice boys when Jayne flew the kitchen, still pulling up his pants, apparently not bothering to have taken off his boots first. "I'm here! I'm ready to get yelled at!" he said as he slid into the seat next to Kaylee. She looked at him with a shocked sort of half smile, trying very hard not to laugh. She whispered to him "What are you doing here?" "We have a date remember?" he whispered back.

Mal already looked like he was about to start screaming. "Oh you bet your dumb ass you're going to get yelled at! The job could have fallen through because of your fight with the goddamned county sheriff's son!"

"Aw, Mal, he was trying to get in ta Kaylee's panties! He called her a drunk slut!" Jayne looked at him angrily. "What the hell would you have done?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure you didn't have to get so damned liquored up to play Prince Charming!" Kaylee had told him about this, but at the time he had brushed it off as some school girl fantasy wherein Kaylee had made him out to be some kind of hero. But if Jayne could remember it after being three sheets to the wind....well that lent credibility to the story.

As Mal continued to read the riot act, Kaylee leaned over to Jayne and whispered in his ear, "I think our date's goin good so far. How's the sobering up part comin?"

You're definitely winning me over to the Dark Side here, danniisupernova...what with all this lovely imagery of Jayne actively taking a verbal lashing to: a) keep a promise to Kaylee; and b) spend time with her;D
