That really- I don't think I will. Not that it isn't a perfectly nice ass and all, I'm sure it is. But- really?

Jace? [She quickly tucked the stake in the back of her pants before flashing him a crooked smile.] I'm sorry, I didn't realise it was you. It wasn't so much an invite as an expression of anger. But um, you think my ass is nice?

Hey, Buffy. Not anger at me, I hope? I mean- I brought you coffee. And it's judgement free.

[Yeah, he's going to see if that and this charming grin distract her. Yes. It is. Nice, that is.]

[She stepped in close to take the coffee, hands closing around the cup of frothy goodness.] Remind me again why we can't get married? Because right now I'm so close to proclaiming my love for you. And no, definitely not anger at you. You're a saint among men.

[And the grin is certainly starting to work its magic as is the scent of coffee that is making her damn near putty in his hands.]

There's this funny thing about marriage and high school and not being a good idea. Besides there is a big wide world of life to live and marriage tends to get in its way.

[But now it's different distraction time so he switches back to the last derailment.]

And yes. I do think it's nice. Not that I was staring- or anything.

Oh right, that's why. [Her nose crinkled as if not pleased, but then she broke out into a huge smile.] Somehow I don't think you'd let the marriage get in the way of the big wide world. You seem pretty chill. I bet you'd explore the world with me.

[She paused before taking a sip of his gift and glanced over her shoulder as if trying to look at her own ass.]

Well, I might not stop you if you were. I think your ass is nice too. Not that I was staring or anything.

Sure you weren't. [He smirked, turning around for her.]

I admit. I wouldn't let it. I love the world. It's big and bright and needs explored.

[She tried not to look. Mostly. But then she just gave in and let out a happy sigh as she finally took a sip of coffee.] Okay, I was. And it's incredibly nice.

Exactly. See? You'd be a great husband. It's just high school that's the real problem, but hey. I'll deal. Gives me something to look forward to once I get out of this hell hole.

I might have been too. Sorry.

[He just grins again, looking around.]

What're you doing out here, anyway? Not that I'm not all for the fresh air. I really am. But.. I don't know. Parks are pretty nice to look at? Gravestones are kind of depressing

I told you it was okay. Don't apologise.

[And she turned around for him, giving her but a little wiggle but only after making sure her stake was covered by her jacket.]

It's for an assignment. I'm, um... researching. Getting my sad on so I can write some poetry. We can go to the park instead if you want. I think I got all I can from here anyway.

[Instead he flops down on the grass with a smirk, watching the clouds.]

Actually, it's not so bad from down here. Not lying on anyone am I?

[Buffy made a show of checking before she gave a shake of her head and settled down beside him.] Nope, you're good.

[After a moment she moved closer and rest her head against him.]
