“Why must you keep interfering in my battles, William?”

The pair of us were a horrible sight covered in blood and the flesh of our enemy, who had quaked in their boots when they heard the name Tam whispered, and he had gotten it in his head that I was a damsel in need of a knight.

(in my head everyone back on Serenity were busy laughing their asses off)

And he was just that knight, rather than shining armor he was covered in black but still he did have a incredibly shiny head.

“I’m here to protect you River, and I plan on staying and doing just that.”

(I’ve never needed to say ‘I can kill you with my brain’ to him so he does not understand how funny he sounds)

Watching him watching me with those eyes of his, which were filled up with so much damn love and the hero I was starting to see more clearly each day, made me keep these lips sealed.

Sealed about the fact that I could use two fingers to kill a man, and most of them only deserves my pinky in their soft brain matter (which is for hands of blue), and that my dance is a killer.

(I gave him the job of savior and he took to it like a pro)

“And who said you could leave?”

-

I grew to enjoy this little game of pretend of mine, even if it was reality for him (being the knight eased that ego of his), as I gave him a kiss as his reward as he swept in to save the day.

(giving the monsters a knowing smile ‘you were this close to being mincemeat, lucky you')

But this time watching my knight about to fall, something it would take torture to get him to emit to, it was time for me to stop in and be the hero for the moment.

And my god you should have seen the terror in their eyes, it was worth it.

“My god, woman, you are goddess. How in the hell did I not see that?”

Rather than bruising that ego of his, that had grown a mind of its own these days, I wasn’t showing him up instead I was just amazing him.

(it is after something I do on regular basis)

“You see it now, all that damn blood and brain matter gave this girl away. Now it’s my turn as the knight, William, I suggest you avert your eyes it gets rather messy.”
