Who: Faith Lehane and Rupert Giles
What: Getting drunk. Or trying to get drunk
When: Thursday night
Where: His place
Warnings: God knows

Faith had decided that what the both of them needed was to get drunk. Maybe that would help all the weirdness between them. She didn't want to be awkward with Giles. Not after everything that happened. So she grabbed a bottle of really nice bourbon, and went over to his place. She hadn't really told him he was coming, that way he couldn't say no. Faith knocked on the door and waited.

At the very least, they could be drunk and laugh about how awkward they were being, right? People laughed over being awkward, right? When he answered the door, she was there with the bottle in her hand. "I brought over a peace offering."

	"Your dog doesn't seem so bad," he said, taking a long drink. "Rebel is good name. Though we should still tell them that you're naming him Spike. Just to see the reaction." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks. He seems to like you enough." As much as the dog could for knowing him a little while. "Oh fuck yes, that's going to be hilarious." Oh she was totally doing that. Down went another drink. "You gotta catch up. Drink." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Giles laughed, imagining how both Spike and Buffy would react. "You should say you named him after Spike, because they're so much alike." He finished his glass, "I am trying to keep up, but I'm not as young as I use to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just picturing it was enough to make her laugh again. "Hell yeah. He's gonna be so pissed." And then she'd make fun of him. "Come on, Giles. You're plenty young. I know you can drink me under the table." She poured him another drink and pushed it in front of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You just have to wait until he's licking himself. The dog, not Spike." He took a long drink, not quite finishing the new glass, "If I didn't know better, Faith, I would think you're trying to get me drunk," he was grinning, obviously not meaning it seriously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Faith wasn't sure if she should make a face or laugh, so she did both. "So not the picture I wanted in my head." Definitely not. She gave him the most innocent look she could muster. "Uh well, you know that's the whole point in drinking." To get drunk. But she smirked since he was grinning and didn't actually think she was drying to get him drunk.

	Giles grinned. He was already past tipsy, getting closer to drunk and the innocent look went past him. He finished his drink. He put his glass down and started to stand, "Would you like anything to eat?" He felt himself sway just a little as he stood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Watching him was really kind of amusing. She hadn't really seen him drunk drunk before. They'd drank together plenty of times but this was a first. She tried not to laugh when he swayed. "Hell yeah, if you're cooking, I'm eating." She loved it when he cooked really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Giles moved into the kitchen, having to hold a few things for balance as he walked. He was pretty good at cooking, even drunk. He got a few things out and started cooking. "I've cooked for you before?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2012-03-10 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Yep. You really hate having to eat fast food all the damn time. So you cook. When we got a place with a kitchen." She shrugged a bit, perching herself on the counter to just watch him do his thing. She didn't know what he was making, but it didn't matter, she'd eat it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"American food," it was said as if he was talking about something very distasteful. He was putting together a few sandwiches, toasting some bread. Drunk cooking was better without a stove. "How long did we travel together?" he was actually curious about how things had been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2012-03-10 02:49 am UTC (link)
	That time she actually did laugh. Yeah she'd seen that look before. "Uh.. about a year and a half? Something like that." It wasn't like she checked the calendar all that much. "More or less. And that was about a year after we blew up Sunnydale." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He looked as if he was trying to do math, but it didn't look like it was getting anywhere. Oh well. "As partners, not as Watcher and Slayer?" He had often felt a bit alone being the only adult in the group, even as Buffy and the others had entered college and were technically adults it always felt like there was a wall. They weren't friends, it was mentor and student.

	"Partners. Not Watcher and Slayer. You didn't teach me. I mean.. you teach me things, but we work together. As equals. Not teacher and student," she tried to explain. She could tell he was trying to figure it all out. "Hey, I just turned 31, don't forget. I mean since this is 2012." She knew that he must feel.. old. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh god, that would make me 57. No. I refuse to believe that." Her claiming to be 31 did actually make him feel better. For whatever reason. "I like the idea of that. Partners, I mean. I was really starting to feel useless, you know. I was no longer a Watcher and it wasn't like Buffy needed me; she'd learned everything I could teach her." He set a sandwich in front of her and took his own.

	Faith laughed again and shook her head. "Don't think of it like that. Just think of me being older and you being the same hot, stuffy British guy I know." She kind of wiggled her eyebrows at him a bit. "You're not useless. You and I made a difference. We did all the shit no one else could do. Refused to. You help me, I help you."

Giles was pretty sure he had blushed a little when she called him hot. Which was extremely embarrassing. "Well, I suppose I am doing pretty well for 57," seeing as he was 12 years younger than that really.

He looked proud of himself when she talked about him like that. Sure he had helped Buffy, in the 'pointy end of the stake goes towards that guy' sort of way, but to really make a difference was nice. "I'm sure it wasn't the easiest time for you, but it does actually sound...kind of nice."

Aw, Giles was blushing. Faith was trying really hard not to whistle at him. Like really whistle. She'd save that though. "Hell yeah you are," she said instead, giving a wicked kind of grin.

He should be proud, he had made a difference. "It was. Once we went to this village who sacrificed Slayers to this demon because they were all scared. We went in and kicked some demon ass. It was amazing. Then we helped the village fight against the vampires. All of them."

	He couldn't help grinning back at her. She made comments like that to everyone, didn't she? "That was very noble of us, helping them after all that." He decided he needed more to drink, but he had left his glass in the other room. So very far away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2012-03-10 04:20 am UTC (link)
	Um, maybe she made those comments a lot yeah but she meant it with him. Even if she was a giant flirt. "Yeah. Never thought you'd use the words noble and then faith in the same sentence, didja?" She went to grab the drinks off the table and brought them back. "I mean you know that's not in a church kind of way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shalliglare 2012-03-10 04:23 am UTC (link)
	He accepted his glass and took a long drink from it. "It doesn't surprise me that much." And actually it didn't. If someone had said that before the vortex he might agree, but now, after getting to know Faith here, it wasn't that crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2012-03-10 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Faith quickly poured herself a drink and took a small sip this time. "Yeah? Thanks." She was actually really glad when he said things like that. Despite being partners, she really just wanted him to trust her. She grabbed her sandwich and took a big bite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shalliglare 2012-03-10 04:37 am UTC (link)
	Giles took a bite of his own sandwich. It didn't really go with the bourbon, but that didn't really matter. "Is it good?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2012-03-10 04:44 am UTC (link)
	She gave a mumbled noise of affirmation, since she didn't want to talk with her mouth full. No it didn't go together, but it was still good. And she was always hungry. "Thanks," she mumbled in between bites. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shalliglare 2012-03-10 04:48 am UTC (link)
	He couldn't help but grin at her mumbled noise, glad that she liked it. "You're welcome. Thank you for the bourbon." He tipped his glass in a toast before he drank. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
