"Give me that peep."
"I most certainly will not *dammit*," Giles added the last word for dramatic purposes.
"Dammit, man! Give me the freakin' peep!"
The librarian shook his head. "Absolutely not, young man."
Xander looked up at his schmoopy who was standing on a hard wooden chair,
his hand holding the precious
marshmallowy and sugary goodness high above his lover's head. "But,
but, it's the last one," Xander whined,
his bottom lip sticking out as his chin began to tremble.
"Now look here, Xander," Giles said in a stern voice. "I've already
given you the terms. You know what it is
that I want in exchange for your prized peep."
"But I don't wanna." Xander shook his head.
"Then the peep is mine."
"You're mean. I can't believe I'm dating such a mean guy." Xander reached
in his pocket, and pulled out a
something wrapped in a light foil wrapper. "Fine," he spat out. "I
give! Now give me my damn peep!"
Giles stepped down from the chair. He almost felt sorry for the poor
boy. After all, it wasn't his fault he had
good taste. And Giles did give him that first taste. He took the foil
from Xander hands and gently replaced it
with the valued marshmallow chick.
Xander huffed but then softened as he saw the twinkle in his lover's eyes. "Happy now, you big meanie?"
"Don't be upset, luv. These are just my favorite. And when I bought
that case, I didn't think that you would
go through them so quickly."
"You can buy those at any drug or grocery store, mean guy."
"Don't call me, Xander. And no I can't. See, this is a REAL English
Cadbury egg, the chocolate is so much
better than that so-called egg that you Americans have. This is the
last one until next week. Don't be mad."
Xander made a show of pouting even more. "Oh, come on, luv. I'll buy
another package of those peeps..."
"Okay, deal. More peeps, I'm not mad." Xander smiled at Giles right
before he shoved the peep into his
mouth, savoring the sugary flavor.
Giles smiled back, truly enjoying the sight of the boy he loved stuff
his face with yellow goodness.
Unwrapping the egg, Giles decided to throw caution to the wind. He
shoved the entire egg into his mouth,
thereby impressing the hell out of his lover.
