After this:
S'warm, Lilly thinks happily. Her bed's not usually this warm, despite the extra blankets. It's nice. She thinks maybe she left the curtains open and the sun's on her back, but when her eyes blink open it's dark.
There is a moment of sleepy confusion before she remembers where she is. On Serenity. In Jayne's bunk. He's wrapped around her like an oversized teddy bear and she smiles, nestling against him.
"Jayne?"
There's no response. She tries again.
"Jayne?"
He doesn't even twitch. She nudges him.
"Jayne. Does Serenity have coffee?"
Nothing. She sighs, going to sit up, and he makes a faint noise of half-conscious protest as his arms tighten around her. This kinda kills the whole sitting up plan, not that she minds.
"So are you awake, then?"
Jayne mumbles something unintelligible, one hand drifting up to stroke her hair before settling around her waist again. Lilly smiles, twisting just enough to press a quick kiss against his cheek.
"Good. Cause I kinda am, and I want coffee."
And once again, there's no response. Lilly waits a moment and then pokes him. All she gets is a barely audible grunt.
"Okay, well. Clearly you are even less of a morning person than I am, but I get a lot worse if I can't have coffee or a shower... oh, god, I totally forgot. You don't even have showers on this ship."
That really settles it. She sits up, disentangling herself from Jayne with some effort and just a little regret, and hunts around for her clothes. Next on the agenda is a piece of paper, but that's harder to find. Finally she locates some sheets in a box that appears to contain letters from his Ma.
Jayne,
You sleep like the dead. Trust me on this. I went back to the bar for a shower and coffee, I'll see you later.
Lilly
There's a goodbye kiss that rouses him just enough to sleepily tug at her before he rolls over, some fumbling with the ladder-hatch and then Lilly's padding quietly up the corridor and through the bridge door to the bar.
