"Say something?" Xander gave her a look. "Why, cass? Why'd you do that? You KNOW that Jack's my best friend...." he glanced towards the kitchen. He wanted to go in there, but knew he didn't stand a chance right then if Jack decided to beat the shit outta him.

“You kissed me, Xander.” Cass reminded him, pressing the water into his hands. “Besides, if he gave a shit we wouldn’t have broken up.” She sighed and pressed the pills against his lips until he opened his mouth enough to let her push them in.
“Now swallow.”

Xander sighed; that was the two arguments he couldn't counter. Still, jack seemed pretty pissed, and while he wasn't well equipped to deal right now, he didn't want to lose his best friend. He grabbed the glass of water and gulped it down, sending a tired look at Cassie. "OKay, I took the shit, now I'm going." And with that, he got up and stalked into the kitchen.

“Fine,” Cass muttered after he’d left, sulking back to the couch.
Jack glanced up from the sandwich he was making as Xander entered the room. He picked up the knife he’d been using and held it out to Xander by the handle, turning his back to him.
“There you go, buddy. Easy access.”

Xander took the knife and set it on the table, sighing. "You coulda just used that thing on me, y'know." he looekd around. "Or any of the other knives in the drawer. I can't stop you." he spread his arms, palms out. "Hell, I probably deserve it."

“Yeah,” Jack agreed. “You probably do.” He turned back to his sandwich, oddly calm. Maybe it had something to do with the valium he’d taken earlier that morning.
“But I know how Cass is and you look miserable enough already without having to deal with a stab wound.” Jack glanced over his shoulder.
“Dude, you look like you haven’t eaten or slept in the past week.” He picked up the knife and cut his sandwich in half.

"Well, I tried to take a nap when Cassie burst in here..." Xander sighed and rubbed is forehead, then growled when some paint come off on his hand.
"Listen, man, I'm sorry..... I KNEW her games- hell, I know all her games cause I taught her most of them- but f**k..... it's hard, and as screwed up as I am right now.... it was easier to just go with it so I could let you in."

“Dude, don’t worry about it. I’m not mad.” Jack muttered around a mouthful of sandwich. “Cassie gets what Cassie wants. End of story.”
“Alright, so I might be a little mad,” He admitted, moving back to the refrigerator to find something to drink. “But I would have done the same d*mn thing if I were you.” He handed the other half of his sandwich to Xander, finishing off his own.
“But don’t get me wrong, I love Cass. So if you pull this shit again I’m not gonna just shrug it off.”

Xander nodded slightly and took a bite out of the sandwich. "You're a master chef, you know that?" he finished it off quickly, then yawned and stretched.
"So, you really get it on with some chick?"

“Yeah, well, hunger’s the best seasoning, or some shit like that.” Jack laughed, gaze drifting towards the living room.
“Yeah, I met her at that party Monday. Cassie’s not the only one who can play games.”

"Aah, you get all the action, Lupus." Xander rolled his eyes. "While I sit here all week and paint. What's up with that, huh?"

“Turning gay, maybe?” Jack teased, drinking a bottle of water in one gulp.
“Chicks aren’t going to come to you; you have to go after them.” He laughed. “It looks like f**king St. Patrick’s Day in here.”

"I'm only gay for you, sweetie." Xander tried for a serious look, but ended up laughing hysterically.
"I've been going after chicks. They all want me to set them up with you." that was somewhat of an exaggeration, but that wasn't the point, really.
"And I know what it f**k**g looks like." Xander rubbed his forehead. "I'm just lucky I didn't paint it neon pink of some other shit."

“Dude, that’s sick.” Jack shook his head and then smirked. “That’s a bunch of bullsh*t and you know it. When’s the last time you’ve like really tried to get in a girl’s pants?”
“Yeah, it could definitely be worse. I, personally, would have gone with blue, but to each his own. Cass would have liked the pink,” Jack laughed. “It would have given everyone else seizures.”

"Mmh, shit, you caught me." Xander rubbed his head and smiled wryly. "A year or so, I figure. Maybe that's why I'm off my game. And I got Carrie, you know, so...." he shrugged helplessly
"Hm, I woulda gone a bit darker with the green, and left the carpets the way they were.... but the painting was a b*tch, or so I assume, so I think I'll just leave things this way."

“Shit, a year? That’s not being off your game, hell, it’s not even a dry spell.” Jack blinked at him. “Shit. How do you live?”
“Hell, I wouldn’t change it either after putting so much work into it.”

You don't even wanna know, Lupus. You don't EVEN wanna know." he sighed and sat down at the table.
He nodded vaguely and looked around at the walls. "I guess Chateau Xand is stayin this way for awhile..... hey, you wanna beer?" he felt shitty and sober, but couldn't justify drinking unless Jack joined him. "We should get wated today, man. That's what we should do."

Jack laughed, grabbing two beers from the fridge and handing one to Xander.
“Dude, you just came down from a bad trip. You sure getting wasted is such a good idea?”

Xander cracked open the beer and sighed. "Dude, I hacn't touched ANYTHING since monday. I don't think bad trips last that f**k**g long, man."
"And what would you wanna do after 4 days of no sleep and no drugs?"

“Take a f**king nap.” Jack answered readily, sipping his beer. “Besides, Cass was at a pharm party once and she had a bad trip.” He shook his head.
“We couldn’t get near her for at least three weeks. Her parents told the school she had pneumonia.”
