Giles had awoken wanting nothing more then a fag... and maybe a pint... Possibly both. Sadly, there were neither to be found and he'd had to improvise. A joint wasn't the same, but it was good none the less, and it dangled between his lips unlit

When Alcuin stepped into the rec room, his face lit up as it always did when he saw Giles. "Good morning!" he said cheerfully, "How - "

He cut himself off, as he actually got a good look at the other man. Those... those trousers were very... tight, and was he smoking?

Alcuin tried very hard not to stare at those trousers.

"How are you, Giles?" he finished weakly.

[awatcherwatches]

"Ripper," Giles corrected the younger man. "My name's Ripper, but I'm alright I 'spose."

He nodded at the cues and smirked around his joint. "Fancy a game then?" he asked, leaning against the pool table with more swagger then any man who enjoyed reading about demon migration patterns should have.

[will_you_see]

"Ripper?" Alcuin blinked. "All right then. It's a nice name..."

The way Giles was leaning against the pool table in those trousers was making Alcuin think that the fates were laughing at him again. Making Giles even more attractive, rubbing it in his face that he wasn't in the least bit interested in Alcuin...

And still, he couldn't stay away.

"Sure," he said. "A game. Though I'm not entirely sure how to play." He paused, and added, "I didn't know you smoked."

[awatcherwatches]

"Oh, yeah, well... I stopped for a while, I don't know why," Ripper replied with a shrug. "Game isn't hard though, one of us breaks, like so," he said coolly, leaning over to do just that, and sinking a stripped ball.

"Right, so since I sank that one, I get to go again. I'm hitting the stripes, you're hitting the solids. No worries though, I'll go easy on you this time," he said with a wink, offering the joint to Alcuin before lining up for his next shot.

[will_you_see]

"All right..." Alcuin said cautiously.

He took the joint, thinking for a moment that it was just a cigarette, but when he put it in his mouth and breathed in the smoke, he realized that it was that strange stuff he had once smoke with Logan.

He coughed a little before handing it back. "Thanks."

[awatcherwatches]

Giles missed his third shot and swore quietly, taking the joint back and tossing Alcuin the cue.

"I love this song," he told the young man, moving just a bit with the music. He wasn't dancing though, not really, just sort of swaggering about. "I should start a band," he said thoughtfully.

[will_you_see]

Alcuin ripped his eyes away from the other man so that he could make an attempt with the pool cue. He didn't make the shot, but was happy that he at least missed by a small margin.

Looking back over at Giles, he said, "Do you... sing? You're quite a good dancer." He thought of the ball. Rather wished they could do that again...

[awatcherwatches]

"Yeah, yeah... Played guitar too. Girls love that, you know? Blokes too," Giles said thoughtfully, not even really paying attention to the game anymore. "But then I had to get a job and... well, Buffy took up all my time, what with me having to watch her and all. Never had a chance to be a rock star."

[will_you_see]

"Well I always appreciated a musician," Alcuin said, smiling a little, still trying to keep his eyes off those trousers. "I'll bet you would have been a brilliant rock star. You're so handsome."

Oh... damnit. He'd forgotten how this strange smoke made things slip out of his mouth he didn't mean to say.

[awatcherwatches]

Giles smirked a bit and raised a brow. "Oh yeah? You think so? 'Mnot sure you should be looking, mate. Bit pervy, isn't it? Hot for teacher or what have you... 'Sallright though, I won't tell anyone."

[will_you_see]

Alcuin blushed furiously. "I'm ah... I'm sorry, it's just..."

Just what? That he'd been positively pining for months and he couldn't seem to stop even though obviously nothing was going to come from it?

Right, best not to say that.

[awatcherwatches]

"Don't be," Giles replied, picking up the cue and taking his shot. "You wouldn't be the first or whatever, and I don't mind."

[will_you_see]

Alcuin wasn't quite sure what to say to that. "Still have that joint?"

[awatcherwatches]

Giles offered it with a nod. "Keep it, I have more."

[will_you_see]

"Thanks." Alcuin took another hit, managing not to cough this time.

Of course, it was probably a bad idea, but... he felt disinclined to deal with this situation.

He waited a few minutes to gather up some courage and finally just blurted, "Look Giles, I know you're not interested..."

[awatcherwatches]

"It's Ripper," Giles interupted. "And I never said that," he pointed out. "I just said I wouldn't tell anyone."
