********************
It was 9:05PM...which meant that Buffy was off patrolling. And Buffy off patrolling, meant that Giles had the house to himself. And Giles having the house to himself, meant that he could do anything he wanted. AND, Giles being able to do anything he wanted, *naturally* meant, BUBBLE BATH!!! Well, first there was the part where he'd be turning on some Bob Seger and dancing around in his tighty whiteys, Oxford shirt, & white socks.....but that's another fic.
So, after making sure the door was locked and the curtains were drawn, Giles stripped. And when he was down to the tighty whiteys, Oxford shirt, & white socks, he went over and queued up his dancin' song. As soon as it began, he cranked it up as loud as he dared. Slipping on a pair of black sunglasses, Giles began dancing to and singing along(at the top of his lungs) with, "Old Time Rock & Roll".
(AN: Owwww! Okay, okay, okay! I'm sorry...I *did* say the undies dancing was a *different* fic, didn't I?? Ok, if you'll put away your stakes & other "owie" devices, I'll get back to the bath tub stuff. Sheesh!)
After he was done, he went upstairs and into the bathroom. He turned on the water in the bathtub and began letting it fill up. Giles reached into the cupboard under the sink. He moved some things out of the way, and grabbed his secret obsession. Grinning like a kid in a candy store, Giles went over to the rapidly filling tub and poured two capfuls of MR. BUBBLE in. A few more minutes, and the bubble bath was ready. Turning off the water, Giles finished undressing and eased himself into the water. Sighing contentedly, he lay his head back and let the warm water relax him.
***************
Around twenty minutes later, Buffy came traipsing through the front door. She'd staked six fledglings and was ready to unwind with her Watcher. She yelled for him, but when he didn't answer, Buffy decided to explore. Not seeing him anywhere downstairs, she ascended the stairs. He wasn't in their room....or in any of the other bedrooms. So, Buffy walked down the hall to the bathroom. As she approached the bathroom door, she heard singing:
"I am the very model of a Modern Major General,
I've information vegetable, animal and mineral;
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o'news --"
Just then, Buffy flung open the door and they simultaneously gasped. Buffy stared in horror at the picture in front of her. Giles, seated in the midst of mountains of pink bubbles. As if that wasn't bad enough, he had an entire fleet of toy boats floating around him. The largest one, Giles held in his left hand. Thinking quickly, Buffy ran into their bedroom and grabbed the camera. She raced back and began rapidly taking pictures.
Giles came out of his stupor and glared at her. She smirked and then took one more picture as he stood up in the tub. Bubbles cascaded down his body and she gulped.
Now, he smirked at her, then climbed out of the tub. He began stalking towards her and she "eeped!", then raced out of the room. Giles giggled and then chased after her. It didn't take him very long to catch up with her. And when he did, he grabbed her by the waist and hauled her back to the bathroom. She struggled, halfheartedly, and sighed in "defeat". Then reached down and pinched his butt. He yelped, then smacked her butt in return. When he reached the tub, he set her down on her feet. But before she could make a break for it, he kissed her senseless. She whimpered, then reached up and kissed him back.
Giles stripped her clothes off of her, then picked her up and got back into the bubble bath. Noticing the water had cooled off, and the bubbles were dispersing, he remedied that quickly. Filling the tub back up with water and bubbles, he spun Buffy around so that they were face to face.
"So, how long have you been a bubble bath fan?" Buffy finally asked.
"For about six months or so, I'd say....why?"
"No reason...I just never figured you for a bubble bather. And what's with the "Gilbert & Sullivan" performance? With toy boats, even?"
"Oh, the "Gilbert & Sullivan" is new...I used to sing, "Row, Row, Row, Your Boat"...but quickly tired of always having it stuck in my head. As for the boats, come now, what's a bath without toy boats?"
"Okay, I guess that's true...but I always had a rubber ducky and a Mermaid Barbie doll."
They laughed and then he kissed her on the nose. She smiled and kissed his cheek. After a few more pleasant, soothing kisses, Buffy began squirming around. Giles groaned as he felt himself harden under her. She giggled, then removed herself from his arms. Then she hopped out of the tub and before he could blink, Buffy grabbed a towel and fled the room. Giles grinned, then plotted his revenge, while he waited for his erection to go away.
A few minutes later, he found her sprawled out on their bed, fast asleep. He chuckled softly, and decided his plans could wait until later. He dried himself off and then, after making sure everything was locked up downstairs, climbed into bed next to her. Turning off the lamp, he kissed her forehead and then snuggled up next to her and fell asleep.
THE END
