Drabble: Should Have Known (Giles/Jenny)

Title: Should Have Known
Author: snogged
Team: Order of Aurelius
Prompt: Romance
Pairing: Giles/Jenny
Rating: PG
Warnings: During Season 2, post "Passion" so implied character death.


Monster truck rallies and American football games are not romantic. Violence and aggression runs thick in the air instead of hearts and flowers. It was never personal or intimate like a quiet evening with candlelight and demon folklore. But Jenny always managed to find the romance in them. She went out of her way to surprise him with a chaste kiss in the stands or a grabbing his hand during an intense moment.

That’s why he should have known better when he saw the rose petals and the candles. He should have known something was wrong. He should have known.

Thanks.

I always feel out of place writing Giles but I'm glad you think that did the characterizations well.

You captured the emotiion of that time very well. I feel bad for both of them, knowing what might have been. I think you captured Giles quite well.
