Title: Joking About
Author: ynyseira
Characters: Giles, Xander, Anya, Buffy
Word Count: 100
Previous Line: Giles doesn't laugh though.
NB: No offense to England! It's my very favorite place!

Giles doesn’t laugh though. Xander is still elbowing the Watcher’s side and chuckling at his own joke about S’s’ask demons.

“It’s funny, y’see, because if you reverse the letters...” Giles raises an eyebrow. “Oh, right, I forgot they don’t have humor in Watcherland.”

“You mean England?”

“Exactly.”

Giles sniffs. “We do have humor, it’s just less sophomoric.”

“So tell me a joke!”

Giles mouth quirks up. “Well, I do know a rather funny one about an Incubus and a vengeance demon…no offense, Anya.”

“None taken - vengeance demons are known for their jocular nature.”

“Giles!” shouts Buffy. “No time! They’re here!”

Prompt: Last Line "I bit him"

"I bit him." Giles sighed at her disapproving look. "I also kicked him in a rather sensitive area as well. When one doesn't have Slayer strength, one must improvise."

"I don't care about the fighting dirty part," Buffy said with irritation, "I care about the danger to you part. What if that thing had been poisonous?"

"Nonsense." Giles said, looking at her oddly. "Although, its skin has been known to have hallucinatory effects on humans. For example, right now you seem to have turned a rather alarming shade of fluorescent yellow."

"Anything else?" Buffy asked, bemused.

"You also appear to be pulsating," Giles admitted.

"Ok, time to get you home so you can trip out without scaring the locals."

"Really, Buffy-"

"No arguments." Buffy said, "And I'll be sticking around to keep an eye on you."

"What next, going to tuck me into bed while you're at it?"

Apparently he could shock her still.

“You’re very pleased with yourself, aren’t you?” As if she needed to ask. The huge smile on his face proved it.

Giles didn’t say a word but continued to regard her with a satisfied smile. They had been together for a few years and the fact that he could still shock her he considered quite the feat.

“What I don’t understand is why didn’t you say anything before now?”

“Would you have believed me if I had?” His smile widened as he moved closer. “Besides, I was always much better at show than tell.”

It was hard to say who reached for who first, but neither one had any intention of ever letting go. His arms tightened around her as Buffy snuggled deeper into his embrace.

“How lucky I am.” Giles whispered as he placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head. To be able tell her how he truly felt and to know beyond a shadow of doubt she felt the same way meant more to him then she would ever know.

With a smile on her face Buffy raised her head to gaze into his eyes. “I’m the lucky one.”

Summary: Set somewhere in the beginning of Season 6 after Buffy has been brought back from Heaven. Giles can't bear to watch Buffy suffer any longer.
A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line "Come with me?”

“Come with me?”

Buffy’s face was a mask of confusion. “Why?”

“Your friends, no matter how well intentioned did you a disservice.” Before she could ask Giles continued. “They pulled you out of Heaven, brought you back and assumed you would fit into your old life as if you had never been gone.”

Tears glistened in Buffy eyes as he spoke.

“I can’t bear to watch you try any longer. It’s too painful. You need a break. Come with me?” Giles repeated and held out his hand. “Let me help you.”

Without a word she slipped her hand in his.

“Giles, at this point, nothing new about you shocks me anymore.” Buffy was remarkably calm about their current situation. “Honestly, I’ve seen it all.”

“I highly doubt it,” he muttered, doing his best to hide behind the curtain, the blush rising up his naked chest to his cheeks.

Water streaming from her hair and clothes, she asked, “How did this happen anyway?”

“I-”

Wide eyes met his. “Did you, uh, make some sort of wish?”

Caught out, he frustratingly exclaimed, “Oh, bloody hell!”

“You wished for me to to join you in the shower???”

Apparently he could shock her still.

Summary: Giles knows Xander is guilty.
A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line “It was you.”

“It was you.” Giles had known immediately who had taken his red sports car. He slowly turned around to stare at the red faced young man staring back at him.

Xander gave Giles his most innocent look as he stammered. “But I... uh...I didn’t touch....”

Giles quickly cleaned his glasses. “You parked it in it a different space.”

Damn. He had thought he’d been so careful. And then it dawned on him. “You were parked in that same exact spot. I made sure to check...” At the look on Giles’ face Xander stopped talking. He knew he had been had.

Last line: She was going to need it.

She was going to need it. Giles ordered burgers and sodas from the waitress and looked across the booth at Faith’s sad, pale figure.

“It’s over now. You did a good job.”

She made no answer and the sodas arrived. Giles blanched and ordered himself tea.

“What you saw,” he began. “The vision. It doesn’t mean it has to come to true.”

She looked at him.

“Faith, we defy prophecies daily. You are stronger than you realise. You are not going to blow your brains out in a cheap motel.”

“But it wasn’t me that I saw. It was you.”

A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line "Giles smiled but said nothing."

Giles smiled but said nothing. There was no way he was going to allow himself to be dragged into this decision.

“Which one of these do you think fits me better?” Buffy repeated the question as she held up both of the skirts for him to see.

“You’ll just have to figure this one out on your own, Buffy.”

Buffy wanted to stomp her foot. “Why won’t you help me?”

“Let’s say I pick the purple one, what would...” Before he could finish speaking, Buffy quickly interrupted.

“What’s wrong with the red one?”

His smile widened. “I rest my case.”

Summary: A slayer needs lots of practice.
A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line "“You better get some practice.”

“You better get some practice.”

Buffy bristled at the words. “Practice and patrolling is all I ever do.”

Giles held up his hands. “I didn’t mean...” He removed his glasses and quickly cleaned them before pushing them back up the bridge of his nose. “What I meant was this new creature, if the ancient texts are correct is something you’ve never faced before.”

“How bad can it be?” She’d been the Slayer since she was fifteen, she was positive she could handle herself.

He pointed to the drawing in the book.

“I’d better practice.” She was going to need it.

Summary: That's her story and she's sticking to it.
A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line "You can't possibly be carrying any weapons."

"You can't possibly be carrying any weapons." Giles stared open mouthed at the purple mini skirt and lacy top Buffy was wearing. "Aren't you patrolling tonight?"

Buffy nodded. "Uh huh."

"But your clothes aren't..." At the look on Buffy's face Giles stopped talking.

"Get with the times, Giles." Buffy grabbed her stake from the top of the desk. "Just because I'm the Slayer doesn't mean I can't look good while I'm slaying."

His eyes narrowed as a thought occurred. “Is Angel meeting you there?”

She tried to shrug nonchalantly. “He might.”

A deep sigh escaped him.

He should have known.

Summary: Buffy realizes that being the slayer isn't the worst thing.
A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line Destiny had dealt her a solid.

Destiny had dealt her a solid. Granted that wasn’t her first reaction. Buffy had hated becoming the Slayer. She’d thought it had all but ruined her life.

But things changed when she moved to Sunnydale.

There she’d met Giles. The man who was her watcher, her first grown-up friend and if she were honest with herself in the deepest part of her, hidden away where no one would ever know he had become her crush.

“Ready?” Giles handed her the crossbow.

“Always.” She hoped her blushing wasn’t noticeable as she reached for the weapon.

Being the Slayer wasn’t that bad.

Maybe things would work out okay after all. The Master was dead, the Hellmouth lay silent once more and Buffy was on the way back to being her old self again. A relieved smile flitted at the corners of his mouth. Far be it for him to jinx it but he could dare say things were starting to look up.

“Giles, you have got to come quick. You are not going to believe this!”

Bloody hell! “Weapons?”

Xander nodded his head and followed Giles to the weapons locker. “Big ones.”

When was he going to learn to stop tempting fate?

"You'd better have brought enough to share."

Dru turned around and growled as she bared her fangs at Angelus who stood staring at her. At a strangled sound from the Watcher lying tied to the bed she spun back around and in a singsong voice she whispered “Shush now my lost lamb, Mummy’s here.”

From the moment she had kissed him in pretense the stars had whispered he belonged to her and she had fought to get him back. And now she wasn’t going to share him with anyone. Not even Miss Edith. It didn’t matter how much she begged.

She turned and looked at him so sadly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that...” The tears in her eyes began to cascade slowly down her cheeks.

“Buffy, I...”

Buffy held up her hand to stop him. “I’m the Slayer and I don’t have a choice.” Her voice was small as she whispered, “I wish I did.”

“I wish that I could...” Giles’ voice trailed off into nothingness. No matter how much he might wish otherwise his Slayer was going to die tonight and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

After all, it was her destiny.

What the hell was wrong with her?

"Faith!" Giles shouted again but still she remained motionless at the top of the chasm, mesmerised by the demon's swirling golden void. "Oh, bloody hell."

He scrambled up and grabbed her arm. "Come away. I don't care what you think you can see in there."

She flicked him away effortlessly, her gaze still on the mystical eddies below and Giles grew genuinely frightened. "Please."

"But I can see what happens, Giles. A cheap motel, a bottle of scotch, a handgun..."

"You're stronger than that, Faith."

She turned and looked at him so sadly.

A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line She wanted to keep him all to herself.

She wanted to keep him all to herself. She couldn’t help it. Every single time she looked at him she got a quivering feeling deep inside and it wouldn’t go away not even when she handled the money.

Anya tried not to look at Giles and only listened when he spoke but that came with it’s own problems because the sound of his voice sent shivers dancing down her spine and she would grip the money tighter wrinkling it in her hand.

And she didn’t even care that she was hurting the money.

What the hell was wrong with her?

“I guess.” Buffy knew she should sound more excited but the truth was she was just too shocked. She had thought it would take her months of dropping hint after hint before Giles would finally get the message and ask her out.

“Really?” Disbelief colored Giles’ voice. “You do understand I’m asking you out on a... on a date?”

A slow grin began to spread across Buffy’s face. “Uh huh.”

Giles’ couldn’t stop smiling as he slid his arms around her waist and pulled her close against his body. “And you said yes.”

She cupped his cheek. “Yes. I did.”

"Forever?" Giles stammered.

The yellow eyes flashed in amusement. The sharp teeth, which couldn't obscure the essential mischievousness that had once been Ethan, glistened.

"I'm not leaving you behind to rot as a human, Ripper. It will be like old times." He took a predatory step nearer. "Except we will have eternity together."

Giles' retreat hit the wall behind him, causing him to yelp.

"Could we not just start with coffee?" he bleated.

Ethan was close now, his hand slowly caressing Rupert's cheek.

"I think we've gone beyond that, don't you?"

Giles gripped the stake in his pocket.

"I guess."

He hated it when she was right. But he couldn’t stay forever.

"I'll pack my belongings and..."

Buffy's mouth hung open. "What made you think that I wanted you to leave?"

Giles pulled off his glasses and cleaned them furiously. "Well you said that...and I assumed..."

"You know what they say when you assume." At the blank look on Giles' face she shook her head. "Never mind. I don't want you to move out.” A deep red blush began to stain her cheeks. “I want you to stay.”

He laid his glasses down and moved closer. “For how long?”

“Forever.”
