Gene took another swig of beer, keeping hold of his can as he set his feet back on the floor and pushed himself up off the sofa. He made his way over to the table. "Looks great."

It was nice having homemade food. Made a great change from restaurants and take aways. Of course there was Mrs Jenkins who made a killer hot pot down the road. Sweet old lady determined to 'fatten him up', but nothing beat good homemade food with great company and cold beer.

"Just once, eh?" Gene polished off his food, setting the knife and fork down, before taking another swig of beer. "How many times did you think about snogging me?"

[bolliknickers]

Men. How typical...

"More than once," Alex assured him fondly.

[unbreakablelion]

A rather smug look made it's way onto Gene's face. "Well good. Because I thought about it more than once too."

[bolliknickers]

"Tell me," she leaned forward, smiling invitingly.

[unbreakablelion]

Gene pushed aside his plate and leaned in as well, resting his elbows on the table. "Give away all my little secrets? Not sure I can do that."

[bolliknickers]

"How about one or two really good ones?" Alex all but purred, sipping her beer and holding his eyes.

[unbreakablelion]

"Well... in the vault, obviously. No way any man could've been in that situation and not wanted to've kissed you-- well, unless he were a poof..."

He gave a somewhat nervous cough, clearing his throat and turned his head away slightly. "And that's all you're getting out of me."

[bolliknickers]

"I wanted you to kiss me in the vault, too, Gene." Alex reached across the table and lightly ran her fingers down his cheek.

[unbreakablelion]

"Well... if those divs hadn't turned up, I probably would've kissed you... Mind, if it weren't for those divs we would've suffocated from lack of air... 'ell of a way to go though, eh?" Gene rested his hand on top of Alex's, giving her that oh so smug smile of his.

[bolliknickers]

"You could say that again," she laughed softly. This was nice, Alex thought. Very nice. Why had they wasted so much time last time?

... Right. She thought she was crazy, and then that he was possibly a bad man.

[unbreakablelion]

Gene smiled, keeping her hand in place a moment longer before pulling away. "Right then, I better get off." He pushed himself to his feet. "Don't think I've had quite enough to drink to stay."

He paused then, realising just how bad that sounded. "Wait, I don't mean I need to be pissed to sleep with you..."

[bolliknickers]

Alex arched an eyebrow, content to let him dig himself in deeper.

[unbreakablelion]

"What I mean is... I haven't 'ad enough to sleep in general." He sighed and sat himself back down. "See... I've been 'aving there 'ere nightmares." Oh, he hated admiting that to Alex of all people. "So, the only way I can sleep is to drink until I pass out."
