Dislcaimer: I own none of it! But Joss said it was okay.
A scream cut through the air, pulling Giles out of his conversation with a very pretty store clerk. He was relieved to find no one hurt, but dread filled his heart as he saw what had caused Buffy to scream.
“Look at it Giles, wouldn't it look absolutely perfect on you?”
The shirt in question hung on the rack, pleading for someone to take scissors to it before dropping it into a bucket of bleach.
“It's pink and has frills, lots of frills.”
“I know! Well, technically its salmon not pink, and isn't it terrific? It's soo retro and would be awesome on you!” Buffy pulled a sleeve out to give him a better look at the shirt. “What do you think?”
Giles blinked repeatedly at her.
“It's pink and has frills.” He blinked one last time before removing his glasses and cleaning them. “I think that we should be leaving. Immediately if at all possible.”
“Fine, but what's the point of having the entire Council budget at your disposal if you don't buy stuff with it?”
“If I recall correctly we already have twelve bags of 'stuff' in the car. Do you not think that is enough?”
“I guess it is if you want to steal my fun, you...fun-stealer.”
Buffy half-heartedly stormed into the main area of the mall; she stopped short just outside of the store.
“Andrew! What are you doing here?” She ran over to the kiosk the young watcher was standing next to.
“Oh, hey Buffy, Mr. Giles.” He nodded at them both. “What are you guys doing here?”
“Buffy decided that she did not have enough of the proper fighting attire, though how buying high-heeled shoes affects that I have no idea.”
Buffy glared at her watcher before turning back to Andrew.
“So, what brings you to this shrine of consumerism.”
Andrew blushed at the question and smiled lightly at the humor.
“I'm meeting my date here.” He looked at his feet, totally missing the use of such a big word, but Buffy didn't mind, she forgot about her new skills with the excitement that accompanied Andrew's answer.
“Ooh! A new girl? What's she like? What's her name? Is she cute? She isn't a SIT is she?” If possible, his blush grew.
“N..no, not a SIT, actually, its...I'm meeting my boyfriend.”
“Oh. Oooh. But, I thought that you were straight? You finally got all the girls you wanted.”
Andrew smiled sheepishly at her.
“Yeah, it took getting the girls to figure out that they weren't what I wanted.” His blush was gone now, and excitement shined through his eyes.
“Am I interrupting something?” A figure stepped up behind Andrew; slipping his arms around Andrew's waist.
“Nope, you timing is awesome as usual Ethan.”
“I aim to please.”
Buffy took a fighting stance and Giles stiffened.
“Buffy, Mr. Giles, I would like you to meet my boyfriend, Ethan Rayne.”
“We've met.” Was all that Giles said in reply.
“I didn't know that you were running around with this lot, Andrew love.” Ethan drew the younger man closer to him.
“Is that a problem, Ethan?” Fear covered Andrew's features, he didn't want to lose Ethan.
“No, no problems. That is, so long as they don't have a problem with it.” Rayne turned his attention to Giles and Buffy, a challenge flashing in his eyes.
“Of course we have a...” Giles cut the Slayer off.
“No problems, as long a Andrew stays safe.”
“Not to worry, Ripper old friend. I'll take good care of him. Come on now, love. We don't want to be late for the movie”
Buffy made to stop them, but Giles held onto her shoulder.
“Leave it, Buffy. Andrew is far safer then you would believe.”
Giles put an emphasis on 'you'. “Let's get home before Willow or Xander send someone after us.”
“You are so explaining this later.”
“You just let him go? With Andrew?”
“Yes, Xander, I did.” Giles leaned back against his desk and looked at the three gathered in his office. Buffy had brought Xander and Willow into the conversation, most likely in an attempt to bully Giles into doing something about Ethan.
“Why?” Willow finally voiced the question all three had been thinking.
“None of you know Ethan well enough to understand why.”
“I know all that I need to about him. He's evil, arrogant, manipulative, and did I mention evil?” Buffy crossed her arms decisively, as though this was the end of the conversation.
“Ethan is not evil, he's simply..mischievous. The events at Halloween were an example of that. He didn't do it to hurt anyone, he didn't care if someone was hurt, but that was hardly his intention.”
“So he was evil on accident, but didn't care, doesn't that make me feel the warm fuzzies. What about the Egon thing or whatever? Are you telling me that wasn't evil? Hello, he tried to kill me, and that was intentional.”
Giles sighed at his Slayer's questions. He removed his glasses and and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He was hoping not to have to tell the three what he now had no choice to if they were to understand his actions.
“I'm afraid that was mostly my fault. Ethan is a little...possessive. In his eyes you stole me from him. It was my duties as a Watcher that forced me to leave, our mutual friends' death was a good reason to leave then. He was seeking revenge for 'stealing' me from him. As far as the incident with the candy; I believe that he would not have taken the job had he known the sacrifice. Ethan is many things, a baby killer is not one of them.”
Giles put his glasses back on and walked around his desk to the liquor cabinet; he would need a drink for when they finally caught on. Which could be any minute, or it could take a year.
“Wow!..wow.”
That was a surprise, Giles had expected Willow to be the first to understand, not Xander. Interesting.
"You and...he and...you!”
“Well, there was only one of me at the time, but yes.”
“Yes? Yes what? I don't remember a question. Willow are you following?”
“I think so. Giles, you and Mr. Rayne, you were involved weren't you?”
Buffy's eyes flitted back and forth between Willow and her mentor. Xander was sitting in shocked silence.
“That would be the polite way to put it yes.”
“Gi...Giles and Ethan Rayne were doing the four legged frolic!”
“And that is quite possibly the worst way you could have put it. I would also like to state that our relationship involved a great deal more then sex. We very nearly exchanged vows.”
“That's so romantic.” Willow sighed. “Why didn't you?”
“As I said, I had duties as a Watcher and the Council frowned upon Ethan's...”
“Gender?” Buffy volunteered, Xander seemed to curl into himself at that, and Willow frowned at her friend.
“Evilness?” Buffy tried again.
“Addiction.” A shadow crossed Giles' face. “But that is a another story, one which you will not hear from me. You will also not be hearing anymore about our relationship for as long as I can help it.” He blatantly ignored the puppy eyes sent his way as well as the 'Slayer Glare' as they had come to call the look that all Slayers eventually seemed to develop.
“Now, is there anything other then my love life that we need to discuss?”
“I still don't see how Andrew is safe. Rayne could just be using him to get to us. I didn't for a second believe that he didn't know that Andrew knew us.”
Buffy was honestly worried about the young man and that brought a smile to Giles' face.
“Ethan does not take relationships lightly, you can be certain that he is not going to hurt Andrew. Andrew may be safer with Ethan than he would be here.”
Willow opened her mouth to protest, but Giles continued.
“Under normal circumstances that is. With all three of you here the Headquarters may be the safest place on Earth.
“You mean with these two here. I'm just crush material and a shoulder for the SITs to cry on.” Xander corrected.
“Your shoulder, as you put it, maintains the mental health of the group Xander. These girls are dealing with quite a bit at the moment; you are doing quite a lot to help them be more sure of themselves. You are also the one who built the building and knowing where everything is reassures these girls.” Giles was pleased with the change in topic, but knew that Buffy would cut in soon with her say about Ethan. Sadly, their attention spans weren't that short...anymore.
“I still don't think Rayne is on the level.”
“Ethan is never 'on the level', that is part of his charm, or lack thereof. However, if you are still worried, I will check things out. Alright?”
“Fine, but keep me updated.”
“Yes, yes. Now go back to your classes. The girls only have the three of you here together for another week, and they need to see how you work together as a team. I won't have anymore of this 'Slayers fight alone' rubbish. Damn Council litany.” He waved them out before collapsing in his desk chair.
“Come out form wherever you are hiding. That was stupid and dangerous, what if Willow had sensed you?” Stepping out of a shadow that disappeared as he emerged, Ethan Rayne joined Giles at his desk.
“She did, but understood that we had things to discuss.”
“Like which of my numerous windows am I going to throw you out of?” Giles steepled his fingers and looked over at the man who stood next to his desk. A shiver ran down Rayne's spine.
“I've missed you Ripper.” Ethan stepped closer.
“You've missed threats on your life?”
“I've missed threats said with a voice and eyes that make me want to force you to carry them out.”
He stepped within arms reach of Giles and raised his hand to brush the back of it against the Watcher's cheek, but stopped himself.
“The look you give me when you threaten my life is almost identical to the one you gave me when ordering me to get on my knees and suck your cock.” Ethan made a point of dropping to his knees between Giles legs, and placing a hand on each of Rupert's knees.
“You have Andrew.” Giles ignored the stirring in his groin that was a direct result of the memories Ethan had reawakened and the movement of the sorcerer's fingers along his lower thighs.
“Yes, I do, but you know me better than that. I need to be had, having is just a wonderful distraction.”
The hands grew more daring and began sliding slightly up Rupert's thighs before slipping back to his knees.
“For someone who hates established authority, you certainly like to be controlled.” He was finding it harder to ignore the hands on his legs, but couldn't bring himself to stop them. Not only would it mean that Ethan had won against his control, though it was a small victory, but it had also been a long time since someone had touched him like this and he didn't want it to end.
“The world is full of contradictions, 'Rupert'.”
Giles held back his flinch at the way Ethan said his name, making it into a mockery.
“Our relationship is long past recovery Ethan, and I would not do that to Andrew. There was a time when you would never even consider cheating, no matter the circumstances.” Ethan looked surprised at that statement.
“Who said anything about cheating?”
