[The Perk, Sunday Morning]

Alec opened the door of the Perk and walked inside - slowly, because he had Jaye clinging to his back in the least vomit-inducing position they'd been able to find for him to carry her in. Jaye was hungover. Alec not so much.

He got her to a booth and ordered hot black coffee for the both of them, as well as water and a muffin for Jaye, then went to sit down. "Feel any better yet?"

"Getting there," she nods, starting on the water first. "I can't believe you actually carried me."

"You're not that heavy," he says, sipping coffee to get over the faint nausea. "Better than waiting while you tried to walk anyway."

"Well, it's far," she says, a little shyly. "You still doing okay?"

Alec grins a bit. "Not as bad as the rest of you, I don't think. Coffee helps," he says, and sips some more. "I'm more wondering if Sammy's going to try and get me back."

Jaye blows on her coffee a little before sipping it. "You think he'll try to glue you to something again?" she says, trying not to smile. "I think it was worth it, though."

"Or poison me, or beat me to death," Alec says, maybe exaggerating a little. "It was worth it though, if only to see Anakin that drunk."

"Yeah, he's a fun drunk," Jaye grins. "Wasn't quite expecting him to take it all off, though. Not that I'm complaining..."

"I'll bet," he says, grinning back. "Who's Obi-Wan, by the way?"

Jaye totally doesn't blush, really. "Oh, he's Anakin's mentor/teacher guy," she says. "I, um, asked him to prom."

"Just asked?" Alec looks curious. "Did he make it?"

"No, the dork was 'too busy' to show up," she says. "I ended up going on a double date with Logan Echolls and our bottles of alcohol."

"Too busy? That's shitty," he says, amused. "Were the bottles singing? Or talking?"

"No," she says. "But we did dress them in eveningwear- Okay, yeah, I'm weird."

"I licked a cabin last night," he points out. "On your say-so. I think that's been established."

"It isn't like I'd ever done it," she says. "I just suggested it. And... decided you had to do it. Have to love drunk logic."

"It's definitely something to look back on," Alec says, grinning again.

"I've never dated anyone who licked a cabin before," she says. "I'll have to write about it in my diary." It's said by someone who obviously has never had a diary, because it was easier to read her sister's instead.

His grin widens. "I'm sure you will. Right after you hang up your new skirts and do your nails?"

"You laugh, but I actually have done both of those things," she says.

"It's definitely the convergence of all those things at once," he says, but eyeing her suspiciously. "Maybe putting pink, ruffled sheets on your bed afterwards too."

"No ruffles," she assures him, sipping her coffee and smiling. "I have layers, you know."

"I don't think you'd be half as interesting if you didn't," he says thoughtfully. "But I still don't see you as all that girly."

She shrugs a little. "I don't know if it's really girly to me. I couldn't have a two-hour discussion on shoes." She pauses. "Okay, maybe with Buffy. But other than that..."

"I'd let that slide, because it's Buffy," Alec says, and grins. "I don't mean to say you're not, um, feminine, just not so girly I can't talk to you."

"Good," she says, smiling a little. "Yeah, those girls get mocked like mocking things that... Okay, that doesn't work so well, so pretend I don't still have alcohol in my system somewhere."

He snickers. "I doubt any of us are having really intelligent conversations today."

"I'm talking in mostly coherent sentences and I got out of bed this morning. That means I rule," she says, nodding.

"Your powers of recovery are impressive and astounding," he agrees. "Need more coffee?"

She smiles cutely and says, "Best date ever."

He beams. "I seem to be doing pretty well for someone who's never done this before."

She stares at him. "Never?"

Alec blinks at her. "Dating wasn't really a thing at Manticore."

"Yeah, I mean, I should have figured," she says. "Yeah, you're doing pretty good with it."

He shrugs a little. "Thanks. Getting a lot of first time experiences over with since I've been here."

"That's good though," says Jaye. "There are some things you just need to do. Like birthdays, for instance."

"Like birthdays," he agrees. "Christmas too. I checked off Fourth of July though."

"Halloween, Thanksgiving, any of those?" she asks. "How big is this checklist we have to get through?"

"Well, Fourth of July is the first check I've made on the holiday list," he says. "Maybe I should just buy a calendar."

"Labor Day's the next one," she says. "Which is a big whatever, but we might get the day off school. Then it's Halloween, which I personally don't bother with, but everyone else can be dorks."

"I did the dressing up thing already," he says, smirking. "So maybe I can just eat lots of candy and call it good."

"A possibility. Though last year I went as like, a happy person or something and ended up talking a ghost out of depossessing Callisto, so there's something to be said for actual Halloween activities," she grins. "What, you didn't like dressing up? For shame."

"The dressing up wasn't bad," he shrugs. "If there's another party involved, maybe I'll do it again. But if there's no candy, I'll be really disappointed."

"There is always candy," she assures him, patting his hand. "I'm sure that's one thing you will never have to worry about."
