[estival]

[It's the end of a long week filled with family, and one more night of eating too much and tolerating people you're probably sick of. The food tonight features grilled chicken, potato salad, coleslaw and ice cream for dessert.

Of course, one last night of family isn't complete without photos of the gang and some dumb games to cap the week off. Here we go again:]

[He smirks]

Was there only one other guy?

[gottaknockhard]

[Unfortunately...]

Only one she got serious about. Although I'm pretty sure it was out of spite.

[nothingtobelieve]

[Okay, wait. He totally lost the thread of this conversation somewhere, and the look he gives Gren says as much.]

You dated Faye?

[both_neither]

[Naturally it takes Vicious calling attention to it to make him self-conscious]

...It was a long time ago.

[gottaknockhard]

[What, she didn't tell him? Is Spike the only one who pays attention to all of Faye's relationships so he can properly mock them...]

I bet she won't see it that way.

[nothingtobelieve]

Sounds fascinating.

[With that deadpan, it's probably hard to tell if he's serious or not.]

[both_neither]

[He frowns at Vicious]

I know she won't. I ran into her at the check-in...

[gottaknockhard]

That explains her mood.

[She's been a bigger pain than usual, he means. He knew it couldn't all be from Spike picking on her.]

[nothingtobelieve]

[He's looking between the two of them, wondering just what sordid history he's been missing out on.]

Things ended badly, I take it?

[both_neither]

[Aren't you sorry you never asked, Vicious?]

It ended abruptly, which was bad enough, I guess. You know how Faye takes rejection. I might as well have accused her turning me gay.
