Jayne/Kaylee is the pairing Jayne Cobb and Kaylee Frye in the Firefly fandom.
they're the two "working-class" crewmen, for lack of a better term. They come from the rough-and-tumble terraformed planets; they don't have fancy educations or titles; they didn't fight in any war. Neither one of them has the blazing ideals and loyalty to a cause that Mal and Zoe share. They're coming from a similar place and at least to some degree have a common point of view.
Like the rest of the crew, he's protective of her, but knowing that Jayne's at your back is a slightly different thing than having, say, Wash looking out for you. [...] Also, there's the teeny little fact that she could absolutely wrap him around her little finger and keep him in line with no trouble at all.
