Who: Blake and Godric What: Crossword puzzles Where: Godric's study in the BGH When: Evening Rating: PG
Godric was ready for Blake's arrival. Hot water was boiling for Blake's tea, a plate was set out for his biscuits, as was the demon's favorite mug. It would be nice for the two of them to just hang out, do things they used to do. Of course, it was something they had done when they were a couple, but since it was not sexual or intimate, Godric felt it was probably okay. Unless Blake brought over a very questionable crossword book, the evening was sure to remain PG.
When Blake did finally arrive, the vampire was sitting on the countertop (something he always scolded Wesley about) reading a romance novel and looking incredibly confused. Since Ava had mentioned them, he had been curious about the kind of subject matter in them. It was... strange. At the moment the heroine, who seemed to faint at the merest sign of emotion, was awaiting her lover (with some ridiculous masculine name) to return from a war or a mission or somewhere as manly as his ridiculous name. And she was thinking about his muscles, and Godric wasn't sure if he had ever seen a muscle 'ripple' when it wasn't having a seizure. And that was certainly not romantic. "Have you ever read these?" he asked when the demon came into the kitchen. "It's nonsense! How can women possibly buy into this? It is so far removed from reality it is almost bordering on insanity!"
