Sexy muhfucker tries to be charming [Reid and who knows all]

Jun 25, 2009 14:56

Reid had been shot on the job almost a week ago. The bullet had screwed up his leg pretty badly, severing a femoral artery and screwing up all the muscles in his thigh. After fairly extensive surgery and some time in the hospital, they'd sent him home with orders to stay off his leg and keep it elevated which meant he had sick leave for at least a ( Read more... )

Not usually a talker, Jack had quieted down in hopes that he'd be less cranky, but she was getting annoyed with the game because in her opinion it was much better on a computer. Unfortunately Reid's giant leg wouldn't fit into the CIC, so here they were.

"Kind of a b-big-- kind of a big deal," she said after looking around the lobby to make sure Faith wasn't around. "Getting an invite from Faith is not easy."

Of course, the invite was more from her supernaturally outgoing sister, but Jack thought it counted that Faith went along with it. She even almost seemed happy.

Spencer didn't really see the point in arguing that Jill had given the invite because Faith had allowed it. She'd sort of even okayed it when he'd talked to her later. He was trying to be charming instead of snappy since he was a guest here and if they booted him out, he had no where else to go.

"Yeah?" Reid asked, eyebrows rising up and then down. His brow furrowed as he thought about that a moment. "I didn't want to be a burden but I appreciate her letting me stay. Otherwise I'd end up going into work and bugging everyone there until they told me to go home."

Fortunately for Reid, Jack was socially retarded for lack of a better phrase. Light compliments even made her blush - Jill was more the people-oriented person. Charming to Jack would just mean being nice to her. Plus she liked Reid instantly upon meeting him and didn't have much of a bubble up. She found it easy to trust him, he was a geek just like her.

"There's no way you'd be a burden. Do you see this place? Bunch of hyperactive slayers, nothing to do all day. It's a match m-made in hea-- made in heaven," Jack said. Nobody in the YMCA disliked Reid, and even with him a little cranky his company was preferable to that of most of the girls who were no kind of challenge to Jack when it came to the 360.

Jack rolled her eyes. She was pretty sure Faith was just all nervous like her but hid it better. "Plus she's totally into you. Faith's just...more Bill Adama than June Cleaver. You know. Gruff and manly."

Sadly, Spencer was very much a geek. Perhaps even more so than Jill. He was a little different kind of geek because computers weren't his thing but he did like video games and Jack. They'd sort of bonded in their geekdom.

"O-okay," he answered, slipping a little in controlling his stutter mostly because with Jack stuttering too, he didn't actively think about controlling it.

He looked over at Jack like she was insane because that was another thing he and Jack had in common: Social retardation. Faith flirted outrageously with him but he'd long ago decided that was just what Faith did. She liked to see him turn red and stutter. He'd never actually considered that she liked him. "What?...so...she's-a lot prettier than him."
